Welcome to our new columns index! Our commitment here is to bring you commentary that's as substantive as it is entertaining, with a different editor contributing to the dialogue each day. We're giving ourselves free rein in our columns, so expect commentary that's as varied as our backgrounds and personalities!
Each editor will write on a weekly basis, but don't be surprised if we speak up more frequently -- big things are afoot in the world of gaming, as always, and there's no telling when a topic pops up that motivates your favorite editor to comment!
Columns are posted daily, Tuesday thru Friday.
The Serious Business Report
by Gerald Villoria
Gerald once went without sleep for three days, playing Counterstrike's de_dust map until he could rush Bomb Site A with his eyes closed. Years before, he played Street Fighter II on the Super Nintendo with his feet. Today, he obsesses over spreadsheets and disrupts his sleep patterns in order to become a better World of Warcraft player. In The Serious Business Report, expect him to parlay his obsessive nature into a column that hardcore gamers can sink their teeth into.
The Angry Bear
by Allen 'Delsyn' Rausch
Originally from Long Island, New York, Allen's been gaming since that day in 1975 when his parents had to drag him kicking and screaming away from a Pong machine. Since then, his psyche has been warped by all the standard Gen X/mega-geek influences along with a chemical imbalance in his brain that reputable scientists have declared "best left unidentified." The Angry Bear is his opportunity to release the thoughts in his head to a safe and controlled environment where only the right people get hurt.
On the Piloting of Giant Robots
by Gabe Graziani
Gabe has long held a passion for video games and giant robots (not necessarily in that order). This is his tiny corner of the interweb dedicated to the further research and exploitation of what he considers a vastly underutilized and relatively untapped genre (despite exhaustive evidence to the contrary).
Skip the Text
by Miguel Lopez
Originally from Miami, FL, Miguel was raised on an intellectual diet of borrowed Nintendo tapes, pilfered D&D; books, and pre-pewter metal miniatures. He plays MMOs for all the wrong reasons, and games like Half-Life 2 for all the right ones. In his column, expect him to poorly justify the former, and manage to grasp at straws regarding the latter.
Debugged
by Sterling McGarvey Sterling McGarvey enjoys a broad ranges of games from Burnout to Katamari and unfairly eschews MMOs. Debugged is his sounding board for "industry trends," a deliberately vague term that allows him to freely discuss online gaming culture in one article, and question broader concepts in another.
The Limey
by Bryn Williams After nearly 10 years, the only Brit on Team GameSpy is leaving Southern California to once again take up residency in the UK. A gamer since 1983, readjusting to bad weather, PAL releases and the wilds of the North of England can only lead to disaster? or can it? Read on and all will (or will not) be revealed!
It's Good to be King (Coming Soon)
by Will Tuttle
Raised amidst the pristine natural beauty of New Hampshire, Will was forced into a life of gaming by freezing cold winters and brutally humid summers, an upbringing that helped to define the man he is today. A lifelong sports fan and self-proclaimed gun nut, he feels equally comfortable teabagging someone in Halo 3 or throwing a perfect spiral in Madden. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Will also loves nerdy RPGs, karaoke and kids' games]
PlanetFargo
GameSpy's longest running feature, executive editor Dave 'Fargo' Kosak takes a twisted look at the world of gaming every Friday.
The GameSpy Debriefings
The GameSpy North team invites you into their brains to run down the week and share some secrets.
