is it cuz he disliked kane and lynch? cuz that sounds familiar....hmm........

MAYBE THIS MEANS HE IS WORKING AT GIANTBOMB NEXT

I guess his God of War 3 review got too many "9.3 why so low" responses.

Um...I go to IGN quite a bit, but educate me...who is he?

" MAYBE THIS MEANS HE IS WORKING AT GIANTBOMB NEXT "

Good.

I'll take it you're joking, but you just know so many people will actually say and think this as they always do.  "

They should have just laid off Jessica Chobot, she probably gets paid twice as much and is draining their resources!

This stuff is always depressing, i don't have much respect for ign anymore but its still sad to hear. 

This actually sucks. 
Who will host Podcast Beyond?

What?  no!!  This means no more Roper report.  I is sad.

No, the only way to assure a vampire is not coming back is to shoot it in the head with dum-dum bullets.

In the case of Jessica Chobot, it's amazing how this metaphor suddenly becomes very literal.

This was really surprising to me. He was a great host in Podcast Beyond. I wonder if they're still going to continue the podcast. Chris Roper was one of the main reasons I listened to the podcast.

I'm glad they got rid of chris roper, it's about time he stops talking. They should also get rid of hilary goldstein too.  
 
I honestly hope they keep jessica chobot, she rules.   
 
..sorry, couldn't resist.
 

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, I don't think we can expect an Infinity Ward scenario, as in that leaked memo it clearly states those are just staff cuts. Why Chris Roper, I don't know.

Wow. How did that happen? I thought he was great.

If they let go of Greg Miller, then that will be the end of the IGN podcasts, for me. >.>
 
This sucks, they didn't update their podcasts on their regular time. I thought it was simply because of GDC and they didn't have time, no it's because good people were being let go. What a way to go out.

I've seen that video about five times. Still really, really hard to listen to. "

That really sucks.

Doesn't seem like some secret shit. Probably just for business reasons.
 
Sorry for Chris.

I've never liked IGN.

this sucks

Was this guy popular at IGN or something?

I only ever listen to Three Red Lights and Game Scoop, and never read anything on the site, so I have no idea who this person is.
 
On the other hand, I'm sorry to hear about anyone losing their job right now.

Podcast Beyond will never be the same again...

I feel sorry when I hear news like this about anyone. But I couldn't give a shit to be honest.

Aw man, I liked this guy. He kept Podcast Beyond in check.

RIP.
 
chris roper is oldskool IGN. but just like 1up and gamespot all things come to an end.
