Former Staff

gallery_111084_186_8241.jpg


Before many of you panic, lol, I wanted to type a really quick blurb. I've retired from Magazine Staff and have been respectfully moved into the Former Staff category. The reasons for doing so are very simple, I've found something important in life that requires my full attention (--no i'm not sick or anything like that! --knock on wood!! --x10!!!) and I no longer have any free time to dedicate to GBAtemp. The decision to retire from my position was not an easy one. I've had a great run on this site. I worked hard to influence the site's content by making the front page Homebrew friendly. I've brought some interesting new features to the site. I've promoted and demoted. I wrote some mother fucking kick ass reviews! I've been responsible for the public release of more than a share of Homebrew projects..... and more!

Through all of the ups and downs I had some of the best opportunities that could ever happen to a person. I learned a lot about myself, discovered what I was capable of, made some good friends, and even lost a few.

The things I'll always remember are how I got here, who i met on the way up, and what fun it was running the Magazine Staff.

Fear not, I asked to be moved into the Former Staff category for a reason. I want to be involved without being required to be involved. I have a few reviews planned (time permitting, and nothing crazy but some fun hardware none-the-less). I am going to continue to write the Monday Recommends articles (at least until it hits 52 issues). I will also be around on IRC and spending time with the staff, so I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities to influence something or other.

Best of luck to all of my friends here (you know who you are). If you know where to find me then stop by and chat. (Why do I feel like I just graduated from High School again...?)

Aww... It's sad to see you step down AW, but at least it's on a good note and that you're willing to let everyone know :)

Hope to see you around. Good luck!
 
Well, as long as you stick around to play, eh.
Now maybe you can focus more on the fun, not the work aspect of our lil hobby here=)

...although you know ima hound you for tips and advice like a muh'fugger, lol.
 
You've had a really great run AW,I've liked every review you've posted and news, as well as some of the things you've helped me with as well, I hope that you do good in your life, be sure to stop by sometimes :).

Though, now that I'm wondering, who's going to he head of mag staff now? :unsure:
 
Hey you've done your job so well! I loved your work. I wish you luck with whatever you going to do and well... you know! ;D

Sad to see you step down, but I guess you were always going to at some point. Hopefully whoever takes your place can hold their own and to half as well as you did :toot:
 
Oh, it feels strange not seeing your name in Orange or Light Blue :(

Good luck in your future endeavours, AW. I hope you won't leave the site entirely (not that you can... nobody can actually leave the temp. MWAHAHAHA) :P
 
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'll look forward to the GBAtemp recomends and plan to contribute one eventually. I've always respected your dedication to homebrew and retro gaming, and hope that whoever replaces you will be faithful to both.
 
Ah damn, I've seen you around here forever. It's gonna be weird not seeing you in the news category.

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
