re: Do we keep ignoring what's happening over at Naughty Dog?

That just doesn't apply here, sorry.

He'd have to of left Sony for that to fit.

From what I've heard, this project he was needed on is quite big, it's the one half the Santa Monica team is helping with.

Oh I'll tell you and you'll listen, listen damn good you will.

Honestly wasn't a troll, but can Sony and ND do no wrong in your eyes? Seriously?

This is all normal, right.....


Writer/actor Todd Stashwick, the voice of the Uncharted PS4 teaser trailer, is no longer involved in Naughty Dog’s Uncharted project. He had been involved with the game for at least six months.

“They chose to recast my role,” Stashwick told IGN. We've contacted Sony for additional information.

Visceral Games recently hired Stashwick as co-writer on its unannounced Star Wars project, which ex-Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig is directing.

Stashwick’s removal from Uncharted PS4 follows both Amy Hennig’s and game director Justin Richmond’s unexpected departures from Naughty Dog. Earlier today, former Naughty Dog lead artist Nate Wells announced his employment at Giant Sparrow, developer of The Unfinished Swan.

Last of Us lead artist is gone.

Naughty Dog has lost yet another member of its staff, this time in the shape of lead character artist on The Last of Us, Michael Knowland.

The news comes courtesy of Superannuation, who cites Knowland's LinkedIn profile as the source of the information. He'd been with Naughty Dog for more than three years, with two of those focused on The Last of Us. Prior to this, he worked at Elite: Dangerous studio Frontier Developments.

We don't know what Knowland's future holds just yet, though it's not thought he was involved in Uncharted 4. Perhaps with work complete on The Last of Us and the prospect of starting work on a new project he simply fancied a change.

This was the point that was made on the giantbombcast last week, and perhaps it's true. Is it because ND is so high profile with their recent success that we're hearing more about it, because I've personally never seen this many people leave any studio is this short amount of time.

Yeah yeah. We've heard that. I NEED MOAR!!!

I was wary about them doing ads in front of them, but Jeff and Vinny do a stupid enough job of it to still keep it funny.


Two weeks ago was great when Vinny was on vacation.


"Hey there small business owner? Hello? He's not here. HE MUST HAVE GONE OUT FOR STAMPS LIKE I KEPT TELLING HIM NOT TO!!!"

Well, at least half of that acquisition is good.
