What happened to the videos?

I used to enjoy the Second Take vids with Ben Meyer. Are they going to start up again?

I just found out - Tom's Games is just some ad site now with flash games. Here's an article from Rob saying goodbye!

I missed the goodbye thread.

Yes it was a great feature ... management were fools to let them go.

I'd have caged them and run 24hr footage and gotten users to pay for the priviledge.

They made some good stuff, and were not conceited like those retarded reviewers (A & R) that I can't mention by name because the mods delete my posts.

RIP Ben and Rob !!!

First TH site appears to have been ruined and now Ben and Rob had left!!! 2009 is not off to a good start!

Ben / Rob, I do hope you’re starting up a new site???

LMAO .... now if we can only get them to do games again. I wonder if there are some legal hurdles (severance issues and no compete)

No doubt, we miss both Ben and Rob. Ben and I had a great time recording Tom's Talkback, to be sure.

Your last article with explanations on the anomalies for the benchies was excellent.

Ben and Rob would have given that one the thumbs up too !!

I miss them as well. It was such a great format for a games discussion, and both Ben and Rob are great hosts. There's nothing else like it out there.

I really hope we get to see "Second Take" in one form or another, one day, again.

I agree. Second Take was great, I always loved taking some time to slack off during work and watch their episodes. They were usually spot on. THG has really gone down hill lately - I'm very disappointed with the direction the site is taking.

No, I don't not after the time I *tried* to sing "Viva la Vida" in the shower.

Lets face facts Chris, most people interested in high end hardware are using that hardware to *GASP* play games.

Restore game coverage. Please.
