Sorry for the Twitter silence; it's been an emotionally exhausting day and GT layoffs hit everyone hard. Official Statement: I'm OK.

Kyle's fine

While I don't really like to see people losing their jobs, I mostly go to youtube for gametrailers now

That's unfortunate. I use to visit there often for my gaming news and trailers. They had some pretty neat ideas for their segments. Always sucks when people lose their jobs especially the behind the scenes people. Nest of luck to everyone affected.

That's sad. I doubt adblock is the reason for this though.

That sucks. Gametrailers was like my main site for gaming videos and their custom shows were great. They laid off some of their best people honestly.

LOL haha Don't get me wrong, Spencer has been great for Xbox but the media rides his d*ick too much! Everything he says on twitter gets at least 4-5 articles on N4G which in turn get forwarded here. He does a great job but sometimes seems like it's too much ass kissing mixed in because he's afraid of the bad PR.
