With all the Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw leaving The Escapist news I was wondering if there are any other 'journalists' from back in the day still in the industry and Phil just popped into my head due to his odd behaviour on getting scoops and/or attention.
I know he's changed his Facebook name to Phil Del Rey recently (Some singer I think he likes' surname) but I've not seen any of his articles - in gaming at least.
Any other popular writers from back then who we should see what they are up to now?

This is applied to modern journalism regularly to get clicks and increase advertising revenue, which in turn can be funnelled via corporate and political motivations.
Easy example of something more sinister.
