It has been great, Alex. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future brings, but it is definitely sad to think that all those crazy times of cross-collaboration between all the sites are now gone...

I really hope there's a Big Live Live Reunion Live or something similar, but until then, thank you for the innumerable amount of hours you've put into this site. It doesn't go unappreciated <3

Oh god, I just realized that we won't be having Alex's snark every Monday reporting the box office earnings... this is a travesty.

Good to see you going over back to gamespot with the Giantbomb guys, and excited to see Will and Norm working with the mythbusters guys, but, I can't help but wonder, what about Rorie? The boss of bosses? :-(

Didn't Alex say he didn't like writing about games? I may be getting this all wrong, but I remember it being his reason for going with Harmonix and then coming here. Weird.

No. Because he has been doing game reviews constantly for Giant Bomb since starting Screened, even more when he became an east coast freelancer.

I believe his sentiments have been that movies are more fun to write about, because it's purely subjective and there's no template for mentioning graphics, sound, controls, etc.

Good Luck Have Cage, Alex!

You might also be remembering that with the time that he mentioned, on the Bombcast I think, that it had basically become his job at GS to review nothing but shitty/mediocre games and THAT was wearing on him.

God fucking dammit, don't let Screened die.

Why don't you just do freelance for Screened?

Alex, ever since you made the Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing video review on gamespot I thought of you as a video game reviewer. It always felt weird when you were doing movies, not that I didn't enjoy them. I'm kind of glad to see you going back to games though...
