It's weird that they let Shamus go. I thought he lived in Australia. Letting go everyone in the office they were closing makes sense since they can't exactly expect everyone to just up and move to Seattle, but that doesn't match with Shamus unless I'm wrong and he did live in NC.
I have no idea where Australia came from, he'd probably be amused at that... or at least bemused.
Shamus works from home in Pennsylvania. Spent almost all his life there, aside from a few years in Boston. Anyhow, I'm guessing that we're gonna see a major overhaul of the site in the near future. Not sure what it'll turn into, but most everybody that was receiving a steady paycheck of one sort or another has been let go.
If you want more Shamus, you can follow him on his blog. He's got a lot of good stuff on there, including a long series of articles on the game he co-developed and that's being released next week. Man, he was probably relying on the Escapist helping him get word out on it
