So, two-and-a-half years. It was fun while it lasted. 

If you couldn't tell from the headline, readers, I no longer work at GameSpot. My last day was August 20; I was essentially made redundant. I won't go into more details, but it's more corporate than editorial.   

Despite that minor setback, I can definitely say that I've learned a helluva lot working in a bigwig publication, and find out first-hand why GameSpot is still one of the best in the video game-writing business. I'm also glad that my ideas like Sound Byte Radio, Asia's first big gaming podcast (The GameSpot Asia Beat) and all those other videos and livestream with me in it came into fruition, even if half of them were killed off due to this year's recent change in direction. 

For those who managed to check out my work since two-and-a-half years ago, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting and commenting on them. Will I still stick around and blog randomly on this? I don't know. Will I head back into writing for games? Of course, but not so soon. How long will my premature retirement be? You ask me. 

All I know is that it's been lovely working with the editorial team at GameSpot. Creativity shines through multitudes of restriction & barriers, and the team has been showing loads of that. 

Thanks, and bye for now! I'm still on Twitter (@MrToffee) if you're into that sort of thing.
