You will be sorely missed, Dave. Have a good one. :)

Im glad for you Dave, just be sure to show up now and again. And couldent ask for a more awesome new member of the bombsquad than Rorie

Dude! It's a real shame to see you go. But hopefully we'll still see you around the site plenty, having Rorie here is great too. Hope all goes well with your family and best of luck for the future! We'll all miss you man! Keep it real!!!! :D

Best of luck in the future. Hope to see you make appearances as much as possible.

Fare thee well sir, and thanks for everything. Now that the transition to the new site is complete, I guess you're free to go off into the future.

And the return of Matt Rorie makes me happy in a way that defies rationality. Rorie seems like the nicest guy in the world, so it's heart-warming to see him find his way back to the family.

Wow. Have fun being a Dad and good luck. I enjoyed what you put into the site, and I'm glad that we'll still see more of you.

Thanks for the wonderful designs and GB moments, Dave! We'll miss you man, GLHB. :)

I'll miss you, Dave! :(

You better hold up that pledge of being the Gary Whitta of Giant Bomb.

Enjoy the time off my good man!

I always enjoyed when you were in a video, one of the funniest guys on the site, and appreciate the work you did behind the scenes. Good luck.

Thank you so much for all your hard work. This website has been my constant companion for the last five years. The website was a joy when I was happy and a fantastic escape when times were hard. I truly appreciate how you gave me the chance to be a part of such a wonderful community and for providing such great entertainment over these last 5 years. I wish you and your family the best and I know that wherever you end up great things will happen. Thank You

P.S.

Please keep doing Random PC Game features if you can.

Dave, what are you going to do next after the most critical years of parenthood?

I hope to see you around the site, Mr. Snider, and soon!

May the wind always be at your back.

sadface... gonna miss ya dave. best of luck in the future

Dave, after watching hours of video content with you in it I feel like I know you, and you're one cool duder.

You were always upbeat, helpful to the community, and your warmth really made the site feel like home.

You will be missed.

Now go and raise an awesome dudette!

I almost cried reading a bit of this. Dave, i was always excited to see you show up in videos. You should let us know what you do next, you can bet we'll all be following! Love yah man! As for Rorie? It's hardly a fair trade, but at least he's a familiar face that we all know we can trust. Keep on being awesome!

I wish you all the best, Dave!

Congrats on the new baby Dave!! Thanks for all the memories and best of luck in all your future endeavors!!

Dave, even though I know you are gonna be around, I'm gonna miss you.

You should totally livestream some random/obscure pc games!

WHAT? Geez, I don't know how to handle all this. Thanks for everything Dave!

Sad to see you go, good luck in the future duder. I hope this isn't the last time we see you though, you should go in every once in a while and make Vinny play an old ass pc game with you every once in a while lol.

this is a very sad day for the interwebs and for giant bomb. have fun with veronica and your family! you deserve it. best of luck dave...we'll miss you

You'll be missed Dave, you've always seemed like a super rad guy, and I'm sure you'll raise a great kid. Here's to the future.

Super excited to have Rorie back with the giantbomb folks, but gosh. Good luck to you and your family Dave! We will miss you, Duder!

Best of luck and Thank-you for the awesome site.

thank you for your years of service Dave, and good luck!

FUCK!

you better stay in the giantbomb flight crew / random pc game. man those were my most favorite features. :'(

Why can`t we have both of you guys? Best of luck Dave, hope you have fun playing more obscure games and coming back to tell us about them

Who will we look to now for chili recipes!?

Dave, I will miss you so much! It's good to hear you will pop in every once in awhile. I wish the best in taking care of your family and thank you for all the great work you have done on the site. Proof of your great work is that through all the site changes and upgrades I never lost the special picture below which I captured and uploaded to the site years ago. Ah, the days when getting over 2000 viewers was a big enough deal to get you to do this. I LOVE YOU DAVE.

@snide I am so happy for you, Dave, but also crushed. Thank you for everything. Seriously. Don't be a stranger. Good luck and good health to you and your family.

Hey Dave, I'll miss you here on the site, but I'm glad we'll still be seeing some of you, and of course I'm happy for you to be able to spend time with your family. Your personality always brought something special to the site, and Random PC Game remains the best GB feature ;)

We will miss you Dave!! Especially those of us who have a weird "thing" for PC games with D&D-based mechanics ;)

Best of luck, Dave, and congrats on the family. You're an awesome dude.

Also, HOLY FUCK, RORIE IS BACK!

@snide You sir, are a gentleman and scholar. Your presence at GB will be missed. Thanks for the hard work and contributions to the site!

Ch ch ch ch ch Chaaaanges....

Best of luck duder!

Farewell, Head-Duder. Don't be a stranger!

Duder, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar. Please know that all your hard work never went unappreciated. Best of luck in all your future endeavors; and whenever I think of Blade Runner or voxels, I'll think of you.

It's weird feeling close to someone you've never actually met, but that's how I feel about all the Bombcrew. You've been an awesome and integral part of these sites for the past few years. I know everyone is sad to see you go, Dave, but good luck with being a dad! A lot of my real life friends are getting to that point in their lives, and it seems like a tough gig from the glimpses that I get.

Crazy that Rorie is coming back, too. Seems like none of the crew can stay away for too long :)

Aww man... who the hell is going to cover weird obscure European PC games now??? hell I would have never played M&B if it wasn't for Dave, and that turned out to be one of my favorite games ever, seriously...

Anyway I wish you best of luck, take care of your Kid, it's nice to see you have your priorities straight, and I really, really, REALLY hope to see you crashing some (by some I mean a whole fucking lot) bomcasts/quicklooks/random pc games/fligthclub(please guys bring these back).

Later Duder, Hardcore Dave will live forever in our hearts ;p

Its been great Dave and im sure we will still see yea on stuff from time to time as you said. Thanks for all the great stuff you did on the site, enjoy your time off and best of wishes in the future.

Gonna miss you dave, flight club/ random pc game was one of the best features GB has ever done. Hope we get to finish bladerunner together someday.

Awww I'm going to miss the PC Retro quicklooks. Perhaps my favorite videos on the site. Best of luck in all future endeavors!

It's great to see Rorie back in the fold. He was such an important part of what made Whiskey Media such a phenomenon.

That said, you don't know what you got until it's gone. Dave Snider has been a revolutionary and iconic figure of the internet for some time now. The absence of his accessibility, his candor, and his vision regarding how things were, how things are, and how things should be, is not going to go unnoticed. Also, he made pretty rad PC game videos with Vinny.

Dave Snider will always be the most hardcore duder in existence. Good luck Dave - enjoy teaching your daughter random pc games (but never let her find out you're an android).

This really sucks. You're as integral to Giant Bomb as Jeff is, Dave. To me, this is as sad as hearing Vinny leaving or something.

Too many feelings!! I...I don't even...

Best to you, Dave! Hello again, Rorie! Video games!
