I'm so bummed right now. My workday is going to suck so hard now. Scott, please don't let this site disappear! It's bloated corpse should be forever splayed across this weird system of tubes we call the world wide web so we can show future generations that the internet was not always a repository for human garbage monsters in digital form. There was a paradise once, where people were not judged by the color of their skin, or the size of their bank accounts, but rather by the content of their comments. We knew it wouldn't last forever, and we'll cherish the time we were able to enjoy the internet utopia that is and was Videogum. Videogum is dead. Long live Videogum.
Thank you for everything, Videogum! Thank you monsters! I will miss you all! In closing, let me echo the words of the immotal Da Cake Eatur, who so famously dared to ask "Is you relly a sqwerl?"
This news makes me super-duper sad, you guys. I have been enjoying this community since 2008, and have never seen its equal in all of interweb country. While I don't comment as often as i once did, I never stopped visiting or appreciating the level of intelligence and comedy produced by the editors and commenters alike. Videogum is responsible for countless hours of enjoyment for me in what would otherwise be dreary and boring days at my desk. Thank you Scott, thank you Gabe, thank you Lindsay, and thank you Kelly. I really hope this thread is not a eulogy, but more like a Family Ties clip show, like when someone is in the hospital for something and the family is reminiscing in the waiting room. Lets all pray that Jennifer get her appendix out in time, and that Scott can make Videogum 2.0 happen!
I knew it was only a matter of time before my avatar became relevant again!

That is why they took away my badge and red pen, catweazle. As you can see, I is lost now?
I'm actually on suspension for semi-colon abuse, so I have tread lightly at this time.
Love the idea, Gabe. You definitely flipped your cap around for this one. I just have one problem: you used the phrase "centered around". Not to be the grammar police, but the center can never be around anything else, that's why it is the center. I'm sure you meant to use "centered on" or "revolves around" and accidentally smooshed them together. Sorry to bring this up, but it is one of my biggest pet peeves. Thanks for allowing me to be insufferable for a moment. Carry on with the sillies everybody!
Is that Ice-T sitting next Leo? Did the "Pussy Posse" (gross) step their game up by adding an actual pimp?

That rug looks like it would be a nightmare to clean. I do not envy whoever has that job. I mean really, there is no way that is going to stay as plush and white as it looks. Beautiful rug, but absolutely no practical value there. Seriously, who buys a rug like that? Also pictured: Robert Downey Jr.

Exactly! It's what I like to call the "Gabe/Kelly dynamic".
My day was made by the guy who tweeted "stupid is as stupid does" to Chet Haze. It was maybe the most (and only) appropriate use of that phrase in history.
Sorry R-Patts, the next Bond is obviously going to be Bondedict Comberbond.
I love the marketing angle of "I made two horrible t-shirts, please buy them or my family will die". I can't wait for their Christmas release of "Sheenboard Cat" / "Keyboard Charlie" shirts.
