The End

I get super emotional whenever someone leaves the GB family.

All the best, Pat. You're hair is dumb but I like you.

Have fun workin' at the Official Weezer Fansite.

Oh man, I'm totally gutted right now. We'll miss you, Scoops. Don't be stranger!

As bummed as I am, I'm excited for wherever we'll see you at next, Patrick! This was a great read, even if it did put a little mist in my eyes. :')

Shit, son. Gonna miss you duder, cant wait to see what's next!

Press F to pay respects.

Come back for as many UPFs as possible, you hear?!

And take that gatdam hotdog suit with you!

Good luck Patrick, in all your future endeavors.

Not sure why, but some combination of the "new office" tweets, and seeing you on the couch for the recaps again, had me feeling like this was coming. Thanks for the hard work, and good times -- I'll definitely miss you, Scoops.

Wishing you all the best.

Good luck Patrick. You will be missed.

I really enjoyed everything you brought to GB. It's sad to see you go but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you wherever you turn up. <>

I can't wait to see what you do next, I hope this is also a beginning of something great!

95% of the time you were a great addition to the site, and very professional. 5% of the time you were a hypocritical and shameless asshole for no apparent reason, and it's those moments that I remember most, unfortunately. I wish you the best of luck, and to turn the 95% to 100%!

We'll miss you Patrick.

Shit.

Shit...you're killing me man! Half the reason I wanted to work with GB/CBSi was to work with you! Ahhh can't blame a guy for wanting to move on with life. I hope whatever you've got lined up is as big if not bigger for you. You're one of the best the business has seen.

Fuck this.........

I'll miss you man, spookin is one of the best things I never knew I wanted until it happened. You've come a long way and I'm glad you stayed in the beginning when people were being terrible, you showed them what you were worth.

Much, MUCH love, duder.

Damn Pat that was some heavy stuff. Best of luck dude.

Goodbye Patrick. I'm sure this isn't the last we'll be hearing from you, but it's sad to see you leave this site.

:(

I may have made an early comment or two about you talking over people in the podcast but I've been a fan since you got here. Seriously bummed out, gonna miss you Trick. Hope the future goes well for you.

DAMMIT PATRICK!

You will be missed DOOD..

Woah, good luck wherever you go; hope to see you with the gang in the future!

Goodbye, thanks for everything!

later duder, i did get choked up over the dark middle chapter, life is hard.
good luck, have fun with whatever you decide to do.

Thanks for all the great content on GB the past few years. I'll miss the podcasts, Spookin' videos, and discovering a lot of cool games with you Patrick. Best of luck in whatever you do next. You will be missed in the Giant Bomb community. It won't be the same without you man.

Thanks for all of your contributions to the site! Your features and presence will be missed big time. I wish you the best of luck for your future endeavors, scoops!

You're right, Patrick, there are things that you said or did that I disagreed with, but I can't say it didn't help open my eyes to something new. And I've always enjoyed your interactions with the other guys. But you know what they say: "Once a Giant-Bomber, always a Giant-Bomber." :) Good luck to you, sir.

Never been the biggest fan of your work but the sheer amount of content you've put out alone is undeniable. You kept the site going with interesting features in that dark time between Ryan's passing and Dan's hiring. It takes a big guy to admit to his own "growing pains." And the community definitely had to mature alongside you. But that's all water under the bridge now. In some way, it makes me appreciate you more that we've somehow shared this indirect producer-consumer relationship and mutually grown from it. I'm sure this was a tough decision to make. Good luck in your future endeavors, you will be missed. <>

Always enjoyed all of your work Patrick. Site has lost an incredible asset. Thank you for all of your work! SCOOOOPS!

Thanks for the perspective you brought to the site, Patrick! I loved the work you did on Worth Reading and Worth Playing, but most importantly all the creative interviews and think pieces. You were Giant Bomb's secret afro'd weapon.

I guess the most helpful thing I can say is good luck, and thanks for the inspiration!

:(.

Thanks for all the work you've done on the site. You'll truly be missed! Best of luck with wherever you're headed.

Your trip to Iceland with Drew was the very first video I watched from Giant Bomb because a friend of mine shared it on another gaming website. That ended up being the day I became a fan of Giant Bomb and it's been a blast following your work ever since. I'm really sad to see you go, but I'm looking forward to whatever you have cooked up in the future. Good luck, Patrick! :D

Good luck with all that you do.

Also nice Lost reference.

I wish you the best with your future endeavors. You're a great talent and I'm sure you will find success wherever you land. Reading your articles and watching your shows here at GB have always brought me joy. Keep us posted and still hang out in chat and the forums when you aren't too busy. Good luck, buddy!

Godspeed, Patrick. Thanks for showing the world that game journalism can and should be taken seriously. I'm looking forward to your future endeavours!

Best of luck going forward, Patrick. You've brought so much insightful and interesting content to the site and it shall be missed. That and your writeup's have always been the most heartfelt ones on the site, it really does seem you got to focus to do your own thing and it shows. Big love and keep on keepin' on!

Thanks for all the memories Patrick! And thanks for opening up my eyes on lesser known genres and game makers. Best of luck in whatever the heck you're getting into!

PS did you just slyly throw a "Brad is leaving Giant Bomb" reference here?

PPS fuck Dave Lang

I won't lie, this one got me a little choked up. Take care man, best of luck!

Patrick your voice will be missed here. You gave a lot of video game nerds some real issues to consider and form opinions on that we otherwise may have ignored. I'll miss you on the site and chances are I'll be keeping up with you wherever life takes you next. Later duder.

Patty O'Lanterns. Have fun working with Max Temkin.

Damn son!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye Patrick and good luck!
