With the new change underway, what is going to happen to Second Take? I absolutely loved watching it. It reminded me of the long gone The Screen Savers (yes, you guys are that great!). I really really don't want to see it go, and I'm probably not speaking only for myself when I say this.

To be honest... I don't like the new direction Tom's Games is going into, but if it will go there, so be it.... BUT THE SECOND TAKE HAS TO STAY!. :pfff:

Sad to say, but it's gone. :(

Yep, it blows.

I only come here for 3 reasons
1- Check out Second Take every week (And that's gone).
2- Check out the Forum once in a while (and that's going to happend a lot less since ST is gone)
3- Check out the Benchmarks (which doesn't happen all that often).

Basically, I was visiting the site quite a few times a week (because second take sometimes was delayed) so about 5-10 times....and now i'll probably go 0-3 times a week max.

This might just be me...but I don't think they'll have as many hits with ST taken down...and ultimately, this is bad for TH's advertising money.

I come to Tom's about once a day to check on new tech news, benchmarks, articles, and I used to really look forward to Second Take and written game reviews.

So 2/5 things I loved about the Tom's websites are gone....thanks a lot, WorstOfMedia!

Wow, yea. It's weak that they turned Tom's Games into a flash games website. Did the new economy eat those jobs? Maybe Best of Media had their money at Lehman Brothers?

Its too bad second take is gone too, I also enjoyed that.

Second Take was the only reason I visited Tomsgames. Now, it's a replacement for a Google Search on Flash Games. Who's the winner behind this move??

I'll check back in a couple of weeks, but if nothing has changed, my favorites list will be one entry shorter. Too bad.

This is my first time posting after coming here for many years. Second Take is the only reason I came back every time during 2008. Wow what a loss. It really is sad to see such a great part of my web experience go away. Epic Fail for TG.

lots of epic fail for TG. The whole site is messed up now. The new posts for the forum don't refresh. The look sucks. All bad changes.

Reply to hairycat101

That will suck for them, because they got all the sweet hook ups going to E3 and the Electronic Expo

Bring back Second Take, it was one of the coolest things of this site.

Reply to Horhe

Dude...where did 2nd take go? I've noticed this website has become extremely bland lately...but didn't peg it until now.

You guiys are losing it. Not sure what changes you made, but they were bad moves. Did you run out of money?

Best of Media in their infinite wisdom.
