:(

Good luck to you, Dave.

Dave =(

This bums me out dude. You better come back every so often for Flight Club and Random PC Game.

Hope the future leads you to bigger and better things, Dave.

best wishes for everything in your future, @snide

(rewatching stalker, mount & blade, and flight club videos now)

Good luck Dave. You were an integral part of bringing this site into existence. You can be proud of making something that makes a lot of people around the world happy.

Good luck on your new adventures of fatherhood Dave.

I am... genuinely sad right now. We'll miss you, Dave. We all will.

Oh no! Gonna miss you Dave!

I want to thank you Dave for helping build this beautiful website. I wish you luck for whatever you do in the future.

DUDER!

You will be missed. Please stop by soon and thanks for all your hard work on the site!

So much sadness, yet so much happiness, in one blog. Thank you for the years Dave, and good luck with the increased family. Hopefully you won't be a stranger in the office in the future.

I wish you the best of luck. Sad to see you go. You're so much fun to listen to Dave, and I'm going to miss that insight into design! Thanks for the memories!

Dream on Dave.....Dream on

Nooooooooooo not Dave!! Sad news, you will be missed. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Oh my god! I'm shocked. Glad to see Rorie's on board, but I will miss you, Dave!

i think im gonna cry

That's a bummer... Thank you for the awesome ride though duder! I hope this is only a step towards bigger and better things for you and your family.

God Speed.

Also, there better be at least one more flight club quicklook with the Oculus Rift.

@ltsquigsVodka gimlets? You sicken me. It's top-shelf gin or nothing.

I remember how sad I felt when Jeff got fire from Gamespot. I thought there would never be a site nearly as great as what Gamespot used to be.

Then I got Giant Bomb.

Thanks Dave.

Looking forward to your future appearances on GB Dave. I'm sure there will be many.

Great news about Matt coming back, but I'm actually really bummed to see you go Dave. Thank you so, so much for your work over the years, the site will never be the same without you. Do you plan on making appearances from time to time? Can we count on you showing up for the Big Live Live Show?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well then, We'll miss you Dave. Happy trails...

Take care of that baby and have a blast. I'm totally still going to twitter bomb you from time to time for old times sake. :D

Good luck Sir.

Goddammit Dave, you can't leave us! I'm still waiting for you to follow through on this!

Come back soon Dave, good luck and thanks for all the internet fish.

Sad but wonderful news from you. Giant Bomb is amazing but being with your daughter will easily eclipse it. Best of luck, friend, and thank you for everything you've done here.

Also, hell yes Rorie! Way to turn bittersweet into mainly sweet!

Rorie actually murdered Dave and took his position. He also murdered everyone at the office and replaced them with robots so the secret doesn't get out.

Good luck, Dave. You will be missed.

I think in 10 years, Dave should show Veronica the following video and try to explain what the hell's going on.

Wolfenstein? Grown men with plastic guitars? Achievements? Dancing Daddy? Booze at work? What a weird period.

Thank you so much for everything you've done for Giant Bomb and Whiskey Media over the years. I've spent a significant portion of the last four years on this site, and it wouldn't have been the same without you.

Good luck in your future ventures, and I hope to see you again soon on the site.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

I'm really sad that Brad's Dave's leaving, but I totally understand why he's doing it. I can only hope he stil drops from time to time to visit his old pals :(

Stay hardcore, Dave.

I'm completely shocked. Dave, you've been such a huge part of making this website incredible. Thanks so much for everything, man. I hope those visits you mentioned are frequent. Veronica is adorable, and I wish you and your family the best of luck with everything. Thanks, duder.

Oh wow. Man, best of luck Dave, with your kid and whatever else comes next. Thanks for all the great content.

But man, Rorie! Truly, the bitterestsweetest of bombs to drop.

This is kind of surreal. First I hear the news about Rorie, and then about you.

No need to wish you luck, Dave. I have confidence that you will do well in whatever comes your way.

Looking forward to hearing from you on the site again!

@snide:

I'm happy that you are in the position in your life financially and personally where you can take time off to be with your family and daughter. You'll be missed but I'm more happy for you then sad that your leaving. That's a really rare place to be in a person's life and you've earned it.

Thank you for everything. omg my heart is breaking..... I dont know how to feel

I will miss you Dave, come by often!

I'm sad to hear you're leaving, but I understand. I'm glad to hear you'll still be coming in for Quick Looks and such, we haven't had much from you lately. You've been great Dave, and I wish you the greatest of luck for your family and your future, wherever you go from here. Hope to see you on the site soon!

What is....WHAT?! Well, I guess it's time to bust out the sappy stuff:

I can say, that it will not be the same without you Dave. You've really gone through a lot of things in these past 7 years, and it shows, and we (I) love you for it in the most respectful, community-driven, not-duder-on-duder way possible. You've shown me one of my favorite text editors ever (Sublime Text) and, in general, have been a lot of fun to have on the site. I hope you can still stop on by when the Flight Club decides to bust out another insane sim, and I hope you can still show the guys why Wizardry 8 is the future of first-person-dungeon-crawl-RPGs.

All the best.

Dave... I'm gonna miss the fuck out of you. Seriously. You had such a laconic style, but you know what - thank you for doing the best thing with your exit and giving us RORIE!!! As a PC man, I love both you and Rorie's PC love. Best of luck with the family Dave, and Rorie - welcome back we LOVE YOU!!

I'm sad because Dave Snider but happy because Matt Rorie.

I'm so confused!

I am very sad to see you go, best of wishes and please at lest do one more radio Dave

You're a super chill guy Dave, I hope to see you on some quick looks and such. And best of luck raising the youngin.

Awesome to hear Rorie's back in the fold, however!

Dave, I wish you nothing but the best for you and your new family. We will all miss your awesomeness. Giant Bomb would not be what it is today if not for you, and it will not be the same with you. I hope we will get to see you again around here, especially in future installments of Random PC Game and the GB Flight Club. Until then, take care, duder.

:(

Best wishes to you Dave. Get on the Bombcast and talk some PC games!

noooo.

i love dave!

and dont really enjoy watching/listening to matt rorie

I'll miss you Dave. The random pc game and flight club bits were always amazing.

Bit late reading this but still felt I'd add to the outpouring of good will and fond wishes for you that everyone in the community that you helped foster are expressing @snide

This site has become the one place on the internet I constantly return to and it's because of it's strong backbone of amazing personalities and wealth of community interaction and you have been an incredibly important part in my enjoyment of the site.

Joining in with everyone else here to wish you the best in your life going forward and to drive home how much you'll be missed. This seems like the ideal time to use the qlcrew site to queue up every dave video on the site and drink a toast.

You're like, financially secure right? I'd imagine. Best of luck, man, you've given me (and everyone else here) a great website and even greater memories. Thank you and godspeed, indeed.

I legitimately can't listen to the song in conjunction with this announcement because I might tear up.

I'm super stoked about the Rorie news, but it's kind of a Toss up you're both two of the best duders out there.

Leaving to be with the spawn is a solid reason though, So good on you, just be sure to pop back in and do Dadcasts with Will and the gang whenever you can.
