@tothenines: Shit, now I feel like an asshole. Dave was awesome, he just seemed to slip out without anyone saying anything so he doesn't come up in my memory as someone who "is gone". Miss that guy, always was super positive.

A Farewell to Drew Scanlon Thread
Drew,
You have always been the duder I most aligned with! I truly enjoyed the endless attention to detail in your simulation gameplay and in your professionalism as a video producer. You are one of the most genuine and sincere people I have ever found and everyone could learn to from the patience and empathy you show towards others. You will be truly missed in this community. Can't wait to see what is your next endeavor. Best of luck with everything and fly safe!
Good luck Drew and thanks for our countless hours of hard work just to make our day better! I will miss you a whole lot!!
Drew, I wish you all the best in what you have lined up next. You brought Fornula 1 into my life and that's a gift that just gets richer with each passing season I follow. I'm sure you will be around from time to time, but you will be missed none the less. Have fun traveling the globe, good luck, and boogity boogity boogity lets go racing!!!!!! Nnnrrrrroooommm
I've found out where Drew is going! He will be blasting off into space as part of an initiative to colonise a new planet!

Auf Wiedersehen, Herr Scanlon :(
Your sentence made me think of Auf wiedersehen, monty and from that I remembered this tune.
Thank you drew for everything you have done to turn Giantbomb into the beautiful beast it is today. I have been a member since the 7/21/2008. It has been an amazing time watching the site and staff grow and mature with time. The site will not be the same without you there but we will soldier on. I will keep following you on twitter to see what awesome adventures you will embark on and I will keep listening to you and Danny talk about speedy race cars. *Neeeeoooooom*
Please don't be a stranger to the bombcast for too long.
Goodnight and Good Luck.
Drew for president! Of Mars! That's what this pilots license thing is about right?
Seriously though, thanks for being like the coolest MFer on the planet. You're the literal personification of the guy that little me wanted to grow up and become.

- 1 March 2017: Drew Don't Love Me Anymore
- 2 March 2017: Here Without Drew
- 3 March 2017: Crawling
Best of luck, Drew!
Drew is the secret funniest guy on the site, the number of times he said things and made references that got no reaction (I am sure for extra effect at times) was amazing, he has always been one of my favorites and it is a real shame to see him go.
Flight club for life, good luck Drew wherever the wind takes you, its always sunny above the clouds.
Man, Drew. I still remember when you became a duder, and I honestly wasn't sure if I liked this new guy or not. But you grew on me, and quickly became one of my favorites. I'll miss your face around the place, your perfect joke delivery and love for simulators, your tales of traveling the world, following along as you've been learning to fly and the Extra Life streams with Alexis. I'll miss you, Solid Scanlon!
All the best in your new endeavors you beautiful, beautiful man.
Drew, thank you for all of your hard work and wonderful content over the years. Its presence in my life has meant more than you know. You will be sorely missed. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Sadly didn't have much time for Giant Bomb lately, but this news still hits home hard.
Drew has always been someone with a very interesting perspective on games and life in general and I really enjoyed most content he was in, especially ALT+F1.
I wish you all the best, Drew. Hope you'll be back around for the occasional UPF and that this isn't the end of ALT+F1.
