Strength and honor! Ziff Davis rallies outside CNET offices photo

In a showing of support for the recent review debacle still underway at CNET, staffers from Ziff Davis including 1UP writers (and that oh-so-dreamy Jeremy Parish) put together a small but profoundly effective demonstration in front of CNET's offices. I say "effective" because it's quite uplifting to see competition swept aside in favor of solidarity within our profession; Jeff Gerstmann's firing, provided the circumstances surrounding it turn out to be true, is one of the creepiest goddamn things to happen in recent months and will likely prompt a lengthy discussion on the nature of the gig. 

Gerstmann's canning might be a settled matter, but the aftermath is still brewing on both ends of the table. Expect to see a lot of discussion about reviews, the nature of reviews and the brave men and women who kick out the jams without crapping on their own integrity in the coming weeks. Good on you, Ziff.

"this site is a hack, not to mention 1up,ign,gamespot,penny arcade etc you all have no integrity or credibility to stand on even your site is littered with ads and a terrible blog system."

Dude, shut the fuck up. You're playing video games. Stop taking it so goddamn serious. You don't need more than you already have for gaming news. If you don't like this site, get the fuck out.

I've loved 1up for the longest. Their Podcasts made me feel like I know them so this gives me more respect for them.

Destructoid and 1Up are my two favorite video game related websites. I visit Destructoid more because the news is just there and fast.
