For those who aren't already grieving over in the forum thread, we have to say a tearful goodbye to Shane Patterson this week. Shane will address his departure, plus we're devoting a large portion of the show to celebrating the man's legacy with GamesRadar... and then even more time roasting him in a manner most cruel! Let's take a glance back to a time when Shane still worked here.
