As he is too busy contributing to overpopulating the planet and feels it is time he moved on from the podcast. Its been a good ride people, thank you for all your support over the years. But what the hell... noone reads these descriptions... I could just type whatever I want... fart bogies! Bonus points if you actually read that! There ya go. Ended on a mature and emotional note. Love you all. Keep playing games and peace out! Sincerely, the Podcaster General...
