I swore (I even specifically told Shep) I wasn’t going to take part in any Shep’s Last Day Goodbyes or Shenanigans. Then I woke up this morning and since then have been annoyingly consumed and distracted by the heavy realization that he is leaving our team. Read more

I’m actually too bereft about Shep’s departure to write anything remotely thoughtful — literally the day before he told me he was leaving, I’d been saying to a GMG or G/O or G-whatever-the-fuck-we’re-calling-it-this-week colleague how much working with Shep (and Ryan, and Chelsea) had done to restore my faith in this… Read more

It brings me no great pleasure to tell you all that things are dire now. Really dire. Shep, a man who has done nothing but live and breath this organization has finally said “uh there’s other air elsewhere.” If that is the case, and it truly might be, what HAS everyone been breathing these last few years! Maybe he’ll…

Every day, we’re provided tons of evidence that there aren’t any good people left in the world. But here’s the deal: Shep McAllister is proof they exist. And, yes, he lives up to the hype.

Shep is equal parts talented, patient, hard-working, supportive, witty, and wise. He’s the Greta Thunberg of deals.

Look—I know… Read more

I worked with Shep during my entire five and a half years at this once great, and now morally bankrupt, company. So there’s a lot I can talk about when it comes to Shep. For instance, we’ve been to Vegas twice for work and the second time ended with the best flight delay of my life. Read more

I was at a show at the Bowery Ballroom seeing Eliot Sumner a couple of years ago. This is a small-ish venue in NYC, and I would say the venue was like 3/4 packed (400 people or so), enough so you could comfortably move around and see the people around you. About halfway through the show, I looked behind me for some… Read more

The problem with most esports compared to regular sports is the lack of a “ball” of some kind. A ball creates an easy focus for the spectator, saying: here is where the most important action will take place. But in a typical Overwatch match, there’s a Pharmercy battle going on in the sky, a Reinhardt shield battle… Read more

My late grandparents survived the Holocaust, so the fact that stories like this are still happening today is surreal if not entirely surprising. But I must admit I find the handwringing over whether or not it’s OK to punch Nazis to be kinda sickening. Dude believes that all non-whites should be removed from America in… Read more
