Advance warning to Giant Bomb friends

It's been hinted at for a few days now (and even suggested by Cypheron!) but after this current run, which i expect to last until mid August, im taking a backseat. Which means after Tomb Raider Legend (which ends Sat anyway), Tomb Raider Anniversary and Crash 3 thats it from this Let's Player for a while. And not Banjo-Conker style gap...longer than that.
As many of you know, this isn't what made me a name on YouTube. For 18 months the channel was purely a Charlie Brookers Screenwipe channel (with the great mans blessing) and it became a meeting place for the cult show. The show returns this autumn which means i must get serious again and doing what gave me the vast majority of subscribers in the first place - providing new content from this awesome show. If i didn't i would be turning my back on those subscribers who have had nothing from me in months.
So, getting new shows out as well as the xmas rush of games as well as uni means my free time is limited so i can't make any commitments. There may be the odd video here of there from me (i dont want to promise it) but certainly not getting into big Let's Plays. Maybe a small vid of me playing Nuts and Bolts or something..i dunno.
So thats basically what this blog post is about. Makes more sense to do it here than on youtube in some 2 min vid. Im also starting to feel a bit burned out by it all to be honest. Its my fault as i went from 1 vid a day with Banjo to doing the stupid crap i ended up doing with Conker. I just got a buzz doing them, and i still do. But its the right time for a break.
So yeah, dont be shocked when this autumn the channel goes back to its Screenwipe roots. For those who subscribed for the Let's Plays, thank you very much, it means a lot. It's why i do them. But go and watch Screenwipe - its bloody brilliant!!
I'll go more into this with the youtube community nearer the time but i thought you should get a heads up....why am i talking like this is my last day. You still get 2 weeks of me swearing and playing through 3 great games. Legend should be done by Saturday, Crash probably by the following Tues/Wed...maybe a little longer. Leaving Anniversary to close the show. Or will it...
I might have one final 10 min Let's Play of one last game :)
