Kessler finishing internship this week - You sad his leaving?

" Miss Kessler?  Dood, he's still going to be around on the forums and such.  Matt Kessler is everywhere.  Moreover, he tasted the Surstromming!  He's in Giant Bomb history now! "

horribly sad

I didn't mind the guy.  What he offered to the GB crew in terms of game taste and knowledge (which seemed to primarily be Japanese games) doesn't appeal to me, but I liked all his Kessler Cam video posts. 
 
Good luck on whatever life serves him up next.

Not really, but he had his share of moments during his internship. Matt still needs time to work on his skills in front of (and behind) the camera, but he'll be just fine.

I once saw Matt Kessler scissor kick Angela Landsbury.

I enjoyed most of his contributions. Mainly I'm worried about who the next intern will be. I prefer the devil I know to the devil I don't...

I didn't like some things said, unknown to most, but other than that... he'll still be around. He did a good job, if not highly entertaining.

Finally.  
Cant bare his stupidness during the TNTs.

Nope. I won't miss him at all. I found him to be pretty annoying.

" He was real Jerk. "

Don't you get so annoy??? "

i remember i chatted with matt on vent while playin some bad company 2 seemed like a cool guy i never got the hate for him.

I'm just alright with Kessler, I don't really feel anything one way or the other. I do believe he is coming back next year however so fans of Kessler rejoice.

he was cool, but i don't think i'll miss him.  
however, i'm gonna miss Kessler's Kam or whatever it was :( 

I liked Kessler a lot. He fared better than I would if I was granted an internship at the Whiskey Media offices. I was also a fan of Kessler Cam, I think I'll miss that. But one thing I won't miss is people saying they hate him just because he isn't Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Drew or Brad.

He was a pretty cool guy and Kessler Kam was a neat feature, does anyone know if he's going to get hired?

See ya Bodega.

From the little I've heard, read and seen of the guy, I've reached the conclusion he's awesome! I'm a little sad that he'll leave, but on the other hand, it might be forgotten that he was ever there within a week or two, who knows. 
 
Who's gonna manage the chat -room during the TNT??

Yeah, he was great.

Don't know anything about him and will lose no sleep in his absence but good luck to him nonetheless.

I'll miss Kessler, He was a welcome addition to the crew. Plus he knew his shit, which is always awesome.

" I liked him, but no, I won't really miss him. "

He seemed pretty cool, I'll miss him.

Too bad. He'll still likely post his own stuff on the forums, though. So it's not like he's completely gone.

" @Detrian said:

" Fuck no. I hope he never steps in their offices again.  Maybe now they can get someone who is not a disgusting retard. "

Sounds like you're fucked for any possible internship then. "

Alright, answer me this:  there's always a slew of "YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS OF KESSLER!" comments when the vitriol spills through; but honestly...who's jealous?
 
Writing about video games isn't a very lucrative career, and I highly doubt any of us adults with real world job experience would ever "dream" to write about video games. Shitty pay to write news stories about games we really don't care about? Sounds good. Marathoning some game we absolutely despise because it's due for review, only to have to write a damn paper on it after you've finished it? Hoo boy. Using it as a stepping stone into game development...yeah, not so much. Regurgitating news stories and writing opinions about games isn't going to help that much on a resume versus some guy who went to college and makes indie games in his spare time; and you'll never make a decent living being a 'games journalist,' so why would you aspire to be one.

nope, no.

Yeah, he's better then Jeff when Jeff gets cynic and he was entertaining. 

Matt's pretty much the guy nearly all of us wish we could be. Fun, Nearly out of school, interning at a place like Giantbomb. To be honest, I'll miss him and his fast and hyperactive personality.

I hated him the first few times I saw him. But when he ate the fish I knew he was cool. I'll miss him.

His quicklooks are a lot more informative than most of them. He's good at playing while actually explaining the game.

He seemed like a nice guy, I'm definitely going to miss him. His enthusiasm may have been a bit over the top at times, and he was sort of "the odd guy out" because he was simply an intern, which made it awkward at times. Overall he was pretty cool.

I thought he came on a little strong in the beginning but it wasn't long before he found his groove. I really liked the "chemistry" he had with Ryan.

I wish Kessler the best of luck.  I know it must be hard to stand out in the midst of strong, well-liked personalities like the GB crew.  I only really started noticing him while reading news posts, so I have no idea how he is in person, but anyone who can survive a can of rotting fish is OK in my book.

Ima miss him on the TNTs.

Very chipper guy. Liked him, though his chat question skills need improving.

Wow, hilarious. I think I might shit myself laughing. "

yeh....they should let him stay....they need a jrpg guy ......and he is the best in the office for that type of games  :)

Eh, fuck him.

Was nice having someone with a vague interest of JRPGs around beyond Persona 4. Think he's crazy for going back to school when he's got his foot in the door at GB, seems like he will be missed around the office even, so it's not like they can't wait to get rid of him. But maybe he has ambition, I shouldn't be one to comment on that.

I felt like he was an odd fit in videos and also that his humor was a little too forced. That said, I don't have ill wishes toward the guy so I hope he goes on to do bigger and better things.

Yeah, it's a shame to have him go - hope he ends up with a job of some sort at GB, I love his undying enthusiasm.

" He seems be a really nice guy, and in writing, I enjoyed his articles.   However, every time he spoke he seemed a little overeager. Like "HI I'M MATT AND I AM NOW SAYING SOMETHING" I think that comes somewhat with being an intern, especially in an office of extremely seasoned vets.  Wish him all the best in the world though. "

Sure he was cool...
