If you started your own gaming website who would your all-stars?

Like, you could hire anyone you want even if they weren't in gaming journalism anymore for example...

 Who wouldn't like to snuggle up to that on a couch while playing Fatal Frame 2? Just kind of both of us forcing the controller into the other's hands because we don't want to press the button to open a door and then laughing and giggling about it afterward.

Brad Shoemaker (Giant Bomb)
Dave Snider (Giant Bomb)
Ben Crowshaw (Zero Punctuation)
Matt Chandronait (Co-Op)
Ryan O'Donnell (Co-Op)
Anthony Burch (Destructoid)
Anthony Carboni (Bytejacker)

They all have two things in common: They love indie games and PC gaming.

Gotta bring back the PC-focused gaming sites!

If I'm snuggling up to anyone game journalist-ish  on a couch it better be Jessica Chobot.

As for writers, Alex Navarro fo sho.

I agree to the PC-Gaming! I've not been to Co-Op much but it's good to hear they've got a good indie component there.

The Giant Bomb Crew plus Greg Kasavin, Alex Navarro, heck, the majority of the old Gamespot staff, and Jessica Chobot mainly because she is a darn good looking woman. JUST KIDDING.

Fo reelz tho, it wuld be me, Levio, and SOULJA BOOOOYYYY!!!11! TELL EM!!!

Everyone @ GB + Kasavin + Navarro + Tim Tracy + Gabe + Tycho

Also: I DEMAND MORE COOKING WITH TIM1!!!!1?!1?11

Cooking with Tim? I don't remember those! Also, I didn't even think about Gabe and Tycho they would be awesome! In real life Jerry has one of those awesome bald heads with the fat rolls on his neck.

Surprisingly, I agree with Joshbra. I would pick the GB staff, Kasavin, Shoe, and Pachter. Pachter for the awesome factror, Shoe because he is Shoe, Kasavin because of Chess, and The GB staff for being the GB staff. Maybe Bozon from IGN Nintendo, I always liked him.

Jeff, Ryan, Alex, Vinny, Brad, Greg Kasavin, Greg Miller [IGN], Hilary Goldstein [IGN] Dan Hsu and Ryan Scott [1UP].

Goldstein? Blech. Not a fan.

GB staff, Robert Ashley.

• Brad Shoemaker (GB) - the man knows how to take in information at first glance.  All those years of doing previews have really paid off.
• Greg Kasavin (EA), Jeff Gerstmann (GB), and Ryan Davis (GB)- These three have worked together for over ten years.  And it shows.  They feed really well off each other, picking up where another would finish.  And their knowledge not only of games, but the industry and how to treat a game from a professional viewpoint are second to none.
• Brian Crecente (Kotaku) - If you've been following his site from the early happenings, and jump to it now, its amazing what the man has done.  I'd want somebody who could transform and garner a following on my side.
• Vinny Caravela (GB) - The edge would go to this guy for my video producing.  I've yet to see Drew pass him up (haven't been able to see Drew really express himself, so I can't get a feel for his style).
• Rich Gallup (38 Studios) - My main man for features, his producing skills only continue to grow.  And that eyebrow.
• Carrie Gouskos (EA), Alex Navarro (Harmonix) - The passion and eager drive these two continually show for their industry never ceases to amaze.  
• Leigh Alexander (Gamasutra) - The insights provided by this unique brain cannot go on being overlooked.  Definatley a great perspective into the workings of the Industry.
• Bob Colayco (Blizzard) - My professional face of the company, only a fool would turn down one hand-picked by Blizzard.
• Jason Ocampo (IGN) - Not only does the man know computers, but he knows everything you would want to know about the computer as it relates to the Industry.
• Whiskey Media - I'm more than satisfied on how GiantBomb works.  They work on macs, and perfectly port it over to pc's.  These guys are top grade.
  

giantbomb plus rebel fm guys plus shawn elliot and robert ashley

John Davison
Crispin Boyer
Robert Ashley
Mark MacDonald
Jeff Green

Done.

Other than Ashley all old timers for sure...but without question the list of journos I have most agreed with in the past.

The incredible lack of mention of news magician Brendan Sinclair and beard master  Brian Eckberg (Gamespotu) is disappointing.

Jessica Chobot.

Adam Sexlar.

I'd just take the GB guys, but give them incredibly stupid nicknames. I'd have Jeffy G, Vinny Caramel-vella, Dual Wielding Davis and The Voice.

I'd also have The Eyebrow and Cheese on Toast (try and guess who those are).
