I'm the one on the left

Like we said in Friday's Start/Select, this is my final week at GameSpot.

I've had two marvellous years here, working with some of the handsomest, cleverest, funniest, handsomest people in the business we call writing about video games on the internet.

I'll be doing more of that in my next job, but here's not the place to talk about it.

As I set to excavating my desk out from under two years' worth of notepads and promo discs*, I wanted to say thanks for having me, GameSpot.

Thanks for watching and reading and commenting. Thanks for listening to the podcast (I'll do a last one tomorrow). I love what I do, but I love it harder because of people like you.You're alright, you are.

Jane

*If anyone was looking for Depth Hunter: The Spearfishing Simulator, I had it

I may be "new" to Gamespot, as far as my registration date is concerned, but I've watched you since pretty much the beginning and you were one of my favorite Gamespot presenters. It's truly sad to see you go, but fortunately you're still doing "videogame stuff" so I'm sure to keep following you.

 

Still, I clicked the "follow" button here on Gamespot so, hopefully, you'll still be around to post on your blog every now and then.

 

Whatever you do in life... best of luck, miss Douglas.

I once lived in a little place by the name of Spearfish.

 

it was as quaint as the name.

Just a note from beyond (GameSpot) to say hi, how are you, I am fine, and I'm over at outsidexbox.com. I've just gotten back from Gamescom 2012, where the GameSpot team were also working their bums off. Good folks. I miss them already!

 @janedouglas Were you already in outsidexbox when you were over at Gamescom, Jane?

 @l777l Yes, that's right - I started with the new place at the show itself.

 @janedouglas You didn't start slowly. Did things go well? 

 

P.S.: How good is Depth Hunter: The Spearfishing Simulator?

 I'm so sad to hear you're leaving GP. You have a rare combination of beauty and charming. Your voice is so sexy. May I ask: are you half Asian, half white ?

 

I sure will always miss you. Wish you the best.

Best of luck at your next job, Jane. You're an excellent writer and presenter and you made Start/Select a regular part of my weekly viewing habits. Here's hoping your next gig features some on camera work too. Gamespot won't be quite the same without you.

Already saw this coming.    She's the British version of Veronica Belmont, i.e. -  keeps moving from job to job.  Why not just tell your fans where you're headed?   They deserve that.

 @ChiefFreeman I'm not sure they do deserve that. Have you read some of the comments on the Start/Select episodes Jane is in? So distasteful and creepy it's not funny. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason she was leaving.

 

Either way I wish Jane all the best in whatever she does. As long as she is happy doing whatever she loves, that's all that matters.

I agree with them.

The most beautiful woman in video game websites, awesome hosting, and cute antics.

Gamespot will never be the same again...

Wish you all the best in your next job.

Hope to still be able to watch you once you take on your new job...

We will miss you.

 @janedouglas Good luck wherever you go next, where it will be, we all anticipate. It was around 2 years ago I started to regularly refer Gamespot, particularly the podcast, which is consistently excellent. We both had to endure AMY for review, an experience i'm sure we both hope is never repeated!

 

All the best, and look forward to seeing/listening to your valued opinions and knowledge, wherever you allow us to experience them!
