Assistant producer leaves job!!!!!

I'm sure Ryan Payton is a wonderful guy and I certainly wish him the best and all that, but it's amazing how quickly you can become a celebrity in the world of videogames just by being the English-speaking public face of a big game release ("Metal Gear Solid 4," in this case). Has there ever in history been an assistant producer whose departure from a development studio for personal reasons got as much attention as Payton's got today?

I can't imagine how the blogs will react if an associate producer ever leaves Kojima Productions.

buy hero gold

I am so happy to get some hero gold and the hero online gold is given by my close friend who tells me that the hero online money is the basis to enter into the game. Therefore, I should buy hero gold with the spare money and I gain some hero money from other players.

Y'know, Ben - I have a love/hate relationship with some of the commentary you have made, but this is 100% correct. Payton is, effectively, a nobody - the reports about him today are amazingly awful. Admittedly most (Ashcraft of Kotaku, for one) are only all fawning because they are friends. But the rest... crazy.
