Elliott, Boston-bound.
On tonight's GFW Radio podcast, Elliott spilled the beans on his destination: 2K Boston, home of Ken Levine and (at least some of) the team that made BioShock. Elliott will be an associate producer on "the project," whatever that may be. This departure is right on the heels of GFW EIC Jeff Green's relocation to EA as a Sims producer in the last couple of weeks. It seems neither dude got the memo that making games requires you to work way harder than merely writing about them. Oops! In all seriousness, Elliott is a funny and talented writer; we wish him well and I personally look forward to his contributions to 2K Boston's next project.
You know what this means: Someone create a Shawn Elliott wiki! Green already has one. It's only fair.

PC coverage is much worse for this and the loss of Green... so dead inside
Edit: rough beats!

Oh man. GFW's podcast was in my top five two weeks ago, Green leaves, now shawn... BRUTAL. Heck, Ryan doesn't even talk!
Shawn was the funniest freakin dude at 1UP. I was so upset when I heard the news, but I am happy for both him and the Black Dragon nonetheless. Much love Shawn!

Shawn is one of my favs. I haven't played a PC game in years but I listened to the brodeo just because of Shawn and Jeff Green. There were so many great podcasts and rap-battles.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dammit. Good luck to him.
GFW radio is finished :(

It says a lot about the state of PC gaming that the people who championed it for so long are actually being drafted in to save it.
Wow, that's a surprise. I cannot say I really agreed with his opinion on some notable PC games in recent years. I wonder who will replace him, will it be one of the existing staff perhaps :?.
I already heard about this, but once more just to let the pain out...
OH MAN!
The Brodeo is gone, and it's a sad, sad time. That was definitely one of the highlights of my week.

Good luck to Shawn he was a good games journalist and a memorable character on 1UP. It seems like more people are using games journalism as a spring board to leap into jobs within large and successful games development houses. I find this totally justifiable and a wise career choice. When you consider the popularity of games today and the profits made by games development this is not a difficult choice to understand. Take Nintendo’s profits over the last two years as an example. Of course games journalism has lost a main stay in Shawn Elliot. On the positive side, it shows developers are interesting in the kinds of people that are passionate about and really understand games….so in the words of D:Ream from the 1990s – “Things can only get better ahahah, ooh can only get…”
Shawn's one of the best gaming journalists out there... a sad day for that and a sad day for the podcast. I've been a reader of the ex-mag and a listener to the CGW/GFW podcast since the begining, and I looked forward to that more then anything on TV, that's for sure. So many damn great moments on the brodeo....
Shawn's reviews were pretty good, and he was always lively on the GFW podcast. I'm gonna miss hearing him as I already miss hearing Jeff Green.
Damn, I'm glad hes moving on to such a good company..hope he does well there, but he'll be missed for sure.
As I've already voiced at 1UP, this shit is the saddest news I've heard all week. He's about my favourite gaming commentator, and the one person I looked forward to hearing from most on the GFW and 1UP podcasts.
He is an absolute genius, though. So him moving into the development process can only mean good things for the industry.
