I've been on this site for what seems like forever! I will definitely make sure to check in now and again. Who knows, maybe I'll officially come back and make a grand return one day!

Movie: I would just obsess over review scores. Not by the critiques but the people. I would go on "Rotten Tomatoes" and instead of just seeing if it got a decent score and read a handful of reviews, I would read tons of them. By the time I'd go see the movie, I would know a good chunk of the story and such. Makes it less exciting. 

It's the same thing for games. Reading about them and discussing them here makes it all the less exciting when playing a game. I feel very Un-surprised by everything. For example, when I was a kid, I remember going to GameStop and seeing that "Paper Mario" was going to be released on the GC in a few weeks. It was very exciting because I didn't know months / years ahead of time. I knew nothing about it and bought it. 

Music: I go on Billboard to see which song is #1 in the U.S each week. I also go to "Mediatraffic" to see the WW rankings based off sales and radio play. Lastly, I use a site called "Kworb" which shows you the airplay AI in the U.S and is updated everyday. It's a great tool if you're interested in charts and such.

I remember when you were sound of rain.

It's sad to see another long time member leave but you have to do whatever you think is best.

All the best for the future and enjoy your gaming!!

Thank you. I don't remember having a conversation with you either but you are also a great poster on he site. Good luck with your life as well buddy!

Yup, I switched because I wanted a fresh start and thought it would make things interesting again. It sadly only lasted a few months. 

Thank you for fixing my post! Good luck to you too. 

I think we should make a new policy.. everytime a member leaves and makes a thread about it we shouldn't be nice to them and just say:

Yeah! Good to see you go! I won't miss you! F*ck off!

that way people won't make these threads anymore and it will hurt a little less inside cause we just wouldn't know you left...

I do remember your *Sound of Rain account! I hope you do have more fun with your video games after you leave but don't hesitate to come back here if you feel like it!

Why so surprised? You're a standout non-friend on the site. By that I mean, we didn't talk much but I did notice your posts and you made a good impression!

I forget our bet, are you the one I bet Animal Crossing with right before SOR left? If so, I'm totally gonna win!

Anyway, good luck to you as well.

Yeah, you and I did see eye to eye on just about everything somehow. You will keep my small legecy alive!

I've decided to make a countdown of video games, systems, and forum members throughout the day! I figured it'd be a fun way to go out, HA!

hear f__n hear.  during the whole xboxone debate that's exactly what i said.  others are trying to dictate what people want to spend their own money on.

Never change dolphin...I want to apologize to you. While I still find you to be a bit too opinionated and arrogant, I don't know you in real life. I can't judge you so I'm sorry.

No, it says you joined in 2009 :) I honestly don't remember talking to you much until I became "Cold-Flipper" which is odd since we're both older members. I don't know how you feel but if you're in the same situation as me, I'd leave. I will likely comeback too someday.

You're another one that I don't remember from being SOR. I started noticing you more recently. Anyway, good luck and enjoy your life!

Yeah I was more of a lurker back then. I remember Amp316 making fun of me because it took like a year for me to reach 100 posts haha
