Can you believe it has been almost 8 years since I first started working at GameSpot? How it began, GameSpot contacted me to ask if I knew of any competitive Unreal Tournament gamers for E3 2005. I provided a solid professional gamer and it didn't take long for them to offer a community manager position for the GameCenter service that allowed you to build your own game servers. I've pretty much done everything at GameSpot, from a daily show to stage show assistance but one area I never touched is reviews, and for good reason! It's a tough job. Outside GameSpot, I've dealt with other games media networks, events, and services but now it's time to see how games are built from a developer's point of view. The game I'll be working with has two of my favorite gameplay components: rocket packs and rocket launchers! LOL But yes, the game is a competitive shooter so I fit right in.
I'll miss all of you but I know we'll keep in touch. As for whether or not you're in good hands, GameSpot staff is working diligently around the clock to rebuild the site. I can't wait to see what's on the horizon!

Goodbye JodyR
Your time here is much appreciated as you have put up with most crap that Users of Gamespot had to dish out. You have kept in touch with the players and made sure everything kept running Smoothly .
8Years is impressive and I say that we will all miss you.
You have a very big heart. I wish you and your co-workers all the best in making the new game.
Good luck Jody, I'm sure you're going to have a great time. I've said it before and I know I'm not the only one, I really appreciate all the work you've done here at Gamespot over the years. This isn't goodbye, just GG.
I don't know why anyone is saying "goodbye," you not planning on participating in the community anymore? I still come here, and I've never even been paid for it!
Either way, congratulations on your new job! I hope you find it challenging, fulfilling, and fun.
A real Gamespot Legend. It's sad to hear you will be leaving us Jody, I will never forget all the good things you did for me, you are so kind, humble and friendly. Now, I will have to say have a great trip on your voyage and I hope to see you stopping by here when you are free! :) Love you Jody :)
go out into the mists and take the world by inevitable storm fire haired lady!!! Hussah!
2 Like I looked upon the horizon and found nothing but ethereal emptiness.
...
OH ER I MEAN HAVE FUN!
Say it ain't so.
Best of luck with your future plans. We all appreciate your work and dedication to the site. Thanks.
Really? 8 years? That was fast. Good luck Jody, thanks for the GameSpot Complete DVDs. Your presence will be missed.
