"Hell Week."

Sessler PumpkinThat’s been the unofficial phrase around the office here. Not because of Halloween -- no, Halloween is the Official Holiday of Getting in the Way of Playing all the New Releases. Hell Week has been the term for all the work that’s gone into the explosion of stuff on the website this past week. Having said that, man I’m enjoying it. Television and the Internet are not necessarily the same thing and my rather rapid instruction on the ins and outs of overseeing editorial on a website has been humbling. Thank you to everyone who busted their ass and probably wanted to kill me when I came up with another idea. Thank you to everyone who came to site and proved that if it’s good, they will read…or watch…or comment.

If you haven’t seen the shocking panoply of goodies that posted in the past week, give yourself about an hour...you’ll thank yourself.

Me, I’m going to the bar.


-Sess

    Mr. Sessler

    I must admit you are living the dream. Myself I set back and watch and read and wish I was even close to having a great job like yourself. You are constantly breaking the mold for video game reviewing and news and I commend you for it. I myself being a fellow gamer can always depend on you for some insightful views on video games that we the public might not have ever picked up. There is alot of video game developers out there that owe you big time for the help that you provided with getting their proverbial babies to take teir first steps. Well, keep up the good work and if you ever need another insightful witty basterd assistant give me a shout.

    Good job on the redesign, Adam & team.

    I really enjoyed the Left 4 Dead 2 coverage. I'll keep coming back no doubt.

    thanks sess! ur the man.

    My favorite updates this week so far have been:

    1. Finally putting "Around the Net" back up on the feed
    2. Your Soapbox, of course
    3. Borderlands edition of "Feedback"
    4. That article about turning off "Siren: Blood Curse" It made me want to buy it, and boy was I missing out! (BTW PS3 users, the price dropped to $30 for all 12 episodes, an absolute steal as it plays longer than an average retail game and has the quality of one too!)

    No problem, Mr. Sessler. As most of us have done since the beginning, including those after the "All new" marketing campaign during E3 week, we will continue to do what we do best... wage the neverending war in console supremacy, troll and be trolled, incessantly point out that we are better than those "x", "y", "z", or any combination of, console owners, proclaim that PC gaming is dead while simultaneously trying to revive it, debate whether or not to keep or kill Blair Herter, constantly obsess over Olivia Munn, Alison Haislip, Morgan Webb, Kristin Adams, and Blair Butler, nitpick at any temporary co-host's blunders, miscues, and/or shortcomings... you get it. It'll be business as usual, Boss.

    I'd say all of you on the G4 staff are entitled to toast each other in what is probably a trying time for the website staff. So, a toast to you all on a job well done so far and a toast for the success I foresee into the future...

    Let's see, that sound cheesy enough yet??? But really, thanks everyone at G4, you've made my workdays much less productive!
