I sometimes find myself missing your lemon avatar. After the fallout, I came here and have been reading about all of the happenings surrounding you. Color me crazy, but I grew rather fond of your musings, and consider myself a "fan". <BR/><BR/>By the way, how's the book list coming along??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460879012032637568.post-41430595783466098242008-12-10T20:33:00.000-05:002008-12-10T20:33:00.000-05:00You were the one that got me into game journalism,...You were the one that got me into game journalism, Carrie. Admittedly, I'm not on the same level you, as I'm just starting out, but the ideas you brought to the table in your special articles for Gamespot, and the personality you brought to the site definitely had an influence on me. <BR/><BR/>I followed your link from the Spot as you were always one of my favorite writers for the site, and you continue to be one of my favorite blogs to read.

Alex and Rich have pretty much given up on their blogs and Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinnie have an actual site now. That leaves you and Jeff Green. So thanks for occasionally updating!<BR/><BR/>I guess it's kind of weird that people can become "fans" of journalists, but the podcasts and everything help a lot in giving personality to people who would otherwise just be bylines. That's the great thing about the internet, I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460879012032637568.post-69582770574805799842008-12-03T20:30:00.000-05:002008-12-03T20:30:00.000-05:00I was fascinated to see the perfusion of current a...I was fascinated to see the perfusion of current and ex-Gamespot people blogs following Jeff's departure from Gamespot. As someone who really loved that site at its peak back in '06, it was very interesting to see what everyone was up to. Now you and Alex Navarro seem to be the only ones who update with any regularity. As for the point of the blog, think of it as a newspaper column that you don't get paid for - it's your contribution to the the conversation about whatever it is you want to talk about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460879012032637568.post-32753898371318922952008-11-27T10:57:00.000-05:002008-11-27T10:57:00.000-05:00Hey Carrie,I only started tracking some PSP review...Hey Carrie,<BR/><BR/>I only started tracking some PSP reviews on Gamespot and spotted some of yours!

I'm not big on internet culture myself, and if it's the "hot, new thing", then I won't even bother making an account, for the very reason you described. <BR/><BR/>Though, I think it's perfect for your blog, since there's not a lot of things you can talk about(and in many cases, don't want to talk about, I'm sure). So in between your big-bang, all out, bi-weekly fantastic blog entries, we can still know the little things that lead up to them.<BR/><BR/>Really though, the main reason that I personally read your blog is, you're very interesting, and you're impeccable literacy can paint the perfect picture of your mind and the world as you see it. I think that's why most people read it too.Casey Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805792142188751897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460879012032637568.post-8369940224441630692008-11-25T16:47:00.000-05:002008-11-25T16:47:00.000-05:00I wouldn't say I'm a GameSpot devoted, but that's ...I wouldn't say I'm a GameSpot devoted, but that's what brings me here.<BR/>I tend to latch on to people who's opinions I've grown to trust and it so happens that most of those people do/did work at GameSpot.<BR/><BR/>I also am constantly trying to get a full time job writing in the industry so I try to understand the good people so I can better myself by learning what makes them good.<BR/><BR/>Does that make sense?
