Who's your favourite of the GameSpot personalities?

Haven't watched the second episode yet, but I actually liked most if not all of them well enough last time. I think pairing almost everybody up, one person from each site, was/is a good way to do it. That said, Maxwell McGee seemed like a pretty cool entertaining dude. It's also a pretty awesome name.

I voted Tom McShea just to spite a whole bunch of you.

I really like Shaun McInnis :( Other than that, Star Craft 2 guy seemed cool, and I've liked VanOrd, R-Mac and Watters for a while.

VanOrd

Maxwell for sure

I'm disappointed that you've discounted a lot of the GSUK folks. Danny O'Dwyer in particular is a class act, alongside Johnny and Seb, and Jane Douglas seemed pretty cool too; shame she left. But out of the poll options, I've voted for Chris Watters. There's something so incredibly ''90s'' about him, like a corny sitcom character, that I find likeable. He just comes across as a very well-meaning and amiable sort of chap in general. The sorta video game guy who hasn't yet succumbed to the seemingly inevitable attitude of cynicism that's prevalent across so many of the veterans in the field.

Plus he looks like a cross between Tony Hawk and Eric Stoltz, and I find that somewhat amusing.

The only one I really know is Kevin VanOrd, but he seems like a pretty cool guy.

I won't vote, but I'll comment... I don't know who any of those people are, I haven't bothered with gamespot since the early to mid-2000's Heres a question for someone who knows better than me, how are the "big" review sites doing nowdays? I gotta assume the review market is pretty much over saturated thus IGN and Gamespot can't doing as well as they were doing half a decade ago can they?

I was just talking about GameSpot personalities that have been present on the New Releases show, although if any of those guys have i'm sorry. Again, it's super-hard to find a dedicated staff-list anywhere.

@lackingsaint: Well, there's Justin Calvert, whom you've added... but ironically enough he's the Lead Editor for regular Gamespot I believe. Otherwise no, none of the GSUK staff actually show up unfortunately. Nor can they, given that they're of course located in a separate continent altogether :P

Anywhoo I mistook this for compiling all of the entire Gamespot staff, so never mind. Still stand by my Chris Watters vote when all's said and done!

Maxwell was great in both shows. Everyone was improved for the second show but Maxwell was the only good one in the first show.

VanOrd for sure

Kevin Vanord is the man.

N/A

Justin and KVO by far but i dont have a problem with any of them. Actually like reading a lot of stuff by a majority of the crew.

maxwell seems pretty cool. doesnt give off the vibe that hes trying too hard and therefore doesnt come off super cheesy (im lookin at you watters)

If I HAD to pick one... Maxwell. Only because he riffed well with the GB guys.

The rest of them need to go back across the office.

Who's the guy who came into the Spelunky Breaking Brad and, in a Breaking Brad first, the stream suddenly had someone who knew how the GD game works?

That guy seems alright.

They have all come a long way since 2008 or whenever they wanted to bring back On the Spot with a new crew.

But Kevin Van Ord takes the cake. He´s one of the best video personalities you can have. Not a laugh out loud funny and over the top guy, but there are already enough of those. Van Ord´s video reviews are fucking awesome.

Max, he's pretty cool.

Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis and Vinny Caravella

I think that was Chris Watters, if I recall correctly.

Jeff Gerstmann, Rich Gallup, Brad Shoemaker, Vinny Caravella, Alex Navaro

Man, I remember when Mass Effect came out and VanOrd gave it a less than great review, I wrote him off in my as someone most uncool who sucked.

I was young.

Just goes to show, those people do change and grow up into rational human beings. Kevin's awesome.

Why was he not on those Wednesday shows? I really liked his humour most amongst the GB crew post-Jeff. I also really like VanOrd and to an extent...

He has a real bad rep for having a strong distaste for war games and just got shit on by Ryan on some podcast (Ryan is super mean to non-GB or interviewees to be honest). But then somehow I find his awkwardness kinda charming. I dunno.

There was a period between Jeff leaving and Brian Eckberg leaving that I still listened to the Hotspot and those guys were quite awesome. Back then I thought the Hotspot was way more entertaining than the three-hour bombcast. All this Maxwell and GSUK people I have no idea who they are.

I've been following Kevin since he started over there, he's pretty great. I always liked Justin Calvert but he seems to be more of a behind the scene guy now. Still was fun seeing him with Jeff last week.

Eric Tay i gotta say was really fun to watch and listen to during the 2 SC2 streams.

The team at Gamepot UK are far more interesting than the US, Danny O'Dwyer especially.

Maybe he's been out doing stuff, I dunno, I don't follow Gamespot anymore, but that could be an explanation, hope he joins the show from time to time, he seems like a cool dude.

Can I try to be cool and clever like others and pick some of the Giant Bomb people? No? Oh, then Maxwell. He gels best with the GB crew and is quite fun to watch.

Those dudes all left GS years ago. No idea what they're up to now.

I've never really been on gamespot so this is the first time I've ever really seen any of them so I can't really comment on them. They all seem like all right people.
