It's her isn't it?! You go on one date and now you're giving us up!!1! 
And thanks Cody, i've had a great time here and loved it all, but yeah it feels like its just time for a change as I know that I am changing myself and its time to let go of some things im clutching onto.
Goodbye, for now. (1 year ago)
Hey guys, I would to say goodbye to you all, because I have made the decision to leave PALGN. ( I may lurk every now and then though ^_^) This has nothing to do with what has happened recently.
The preamble:
If you guys remember gradually over the last few years I have become less and less interested in gaming, and have slowly moved onto other hobbies other than gaming such as cars, photography and being more social and as such my posting has slowed down somewhat.
Stepping in the right direction for me:
Highlights include: losing 25 kilo's, selling like 80% of gaming collection, forcing myself to stop buying collectors editions and not buying every game at launch. Each step I made one of these decisions/steps it felt really good to me and I think my next step is to see what life is like without having a regular forum for a while.
End of a chapter.
With the death of PALGN and the riots of the last few weeks, for me it felt like it was a good time finally to end this chapter here. I finally hit 5000 posts, which was something I was determined to do here and this was one of the reasons I really wanted to reach that milestone before PALGN ended. Achievement unlocked.
The Goodbye:
I've loved my time here, I came here when the IGN AU boards died. And got sucked in here for the gaming bargains and game exchange, of course like many of us, it suddenly grew to be much more than that.
This community has been the best forum community i've been involved with so far. And it does sadden me to say goodbye to it. I loved the game exchange, the fanboys, the new purchase junkies, I especially loved the dedicated rage and happy threads. I just loved how laid back this forum was compared to many others, and as long as you obeyed the simple rules everyone could fit in here.
And somehow I've refered like 300,000 people to the site (I still have no idea how I did that lol) If any of the ex staff know I'd love to know.
Thank You:
I don't want to individually thank everyone as I know I will miss someone and make them feel awful.
However, I'd like to thank sorta individually:
The PALGN writers & staff.
The PALGN Moderators.
The Fanboys
The Starcraft Crew (don't worry SC guys im still playing)
The Photographers
The Game Exchange Pros
The People That have come and gone that i've had big PM sessions with, IHateFrasierCrane, ANDYBALLINA, Grim-One, Itachi etc.
Staying on the Ground:
So sadly, my current plan is to not board the coming Rocket. However I may take a peek one day, and I imagine i'll still occasionally stalk these forums, I think it will be too hard to disappear completely.
Game on:
I still plan to game with all of you on steam and anyone in my F-List on Steam and various consoles when I do manage to get online.
Who knows I may be back come Diablo 3 time - cos ill want to play that with a lot of you then.
See you later, for now.
Good luck to everyone with the future.
Have been staring at the Submit button for 30 minutes now... very hard to press it...

After about a week of adjusting, I couldn't go back, and the slight weight gain is over.
hey well I did try to post something relevant, on topic and often wrote a decent slab for each post. Quality spam at least. Just wanted to get there before D-Day today.
Re: I want Metroid Fusion :( (1 year ago)
yeah not looking for a cart version, but thanks 
Yeah, I just really want to play it again, really enjoyed it. Hope Nintendo eventually breaks the seal and lets everyone else play it (for money)

So sorry about posting in like everything within the last hour or so. But bam I made it. Sorry but determination triumphed against lazyness.
Really wanted to make it 5000 posts before the end.
Obligatory Simpsons videos:
No time for a big thanks list, cos its 2.30am
Would like to thank the whole palgn community, the mods, the starcraft crew, staff, writers etc, its sad to know what is coming, and I wish everyone well on whatever comes next to those who are leaving for good. I hope the community here stays or moves onto a new site together though.
Anyways thanks guys Thanks for being awesome n stuff

Re: Super Mario 3D Land (1 year ago)
If I found New Super Mario Bros on the DS frustrating, would I find this frustrating as well?
something about the new DS ones didn't sit well compared to the SNES classics I know and love.
