It's super-saddening to see Dave leave, but Rorie is about the best possible replacement I can think of. Glad to see you on-staff, man!

And lo, the reason to re-up my subscription to Giant Bomb.

We missed you, Matt.

Nice, I hope you do that! Hopefully we'll have some fresh subscriber stuff/plans pretty soon. It's definitely a priority for me.

Might I suggest a new live show called Dave Snider's playdate? You invite Dave over and do what he wants to do. It'll be like a podcast where he gets angry at dragon age and mass effect all the time.

Now if only we could get your focus off dumb puppies onto cute kitties we will be set. If you persist on doing all this puppie related content I hope Alex steps up and brings the kitty loving to balance it out. We need to have balance dam it!

Anyway, looking forward to seeing you and Ryan holding hands and lovingly looking into each others eyes on live streams again. Hopefully you and Vinny can bust out some PC games and get back to the Old PC game segment that has been gone for a long time now since dave has been so busy.

I can see the new feature video: "Dogs and Puppies throughout the video game ages". I will fully support this move.

@alexandersheen: At the time it was supposed to be a one time stunt, but it may turn into an annualized thing (hello meta commentary). I don't know, I'll have to think about it, see if it makes sense to do it. People seemed to enjoy it back then so...

Man this is the saddest/happiest I've been all year! ...It's been a pretty uneventful year for me so far, but still!

Congrats, @rorie :-). I'm looking forward to your input on the site!

Also, I'll just reiterate a desire for more That Ain't No Game. The third series should be WUTANG Clan, where you join up with Ryan and perhaps others for a more varied discussion on the films. :-D

Oh wow, the prodigal son returns. Welcome home!

Rorie's inevitable Dark Souls 2 coverage (not only a QL but hopefully also on UPF) will be a wonderful incentive to resubscribe when my subscription expires later this year. :D

You are literally the only person I would've accepted as Daves replacement, so consider me pleased by this news! Congratulations on the job, Rorie! Good to see you're finally in the position I'm sure you have secretly wanted for a very long time!

Really glad you are coming back, I couldn't think of a better person to fill in the job. Man today is a day with a lot of mixed emotions, I'm really sad Dave is going, but I'm also happy as fuck that you're back!

Welcome home and show us those puppies! (*ahem*)
