I've been livestreaming this game for close to 5 years. From the start you guys supported my efforts to entertain, inform, and grow the MWO community.
While I still have some livestreaming left in me my days of doing it day in and day out have come to an end.

For those who haven't ever come to my show, I've raised a lot of money for charity thanks in part to the support PGI gave me in those early days. I reached out and was able to interview Jordan Weisman 3 years in a row, and Michael Stackpole for 2. Russ even stopped in for a very long game session on the second charity event to play MWO with us and answer questions from the viewers.

My show helped pull me out of a very dark time so today was a very emotional day for me to shut down full time streaming. It has been a hell of a ride.

I've been critical of your efforts when I felt needed, and defended your decisions when I felt it was right. I've always tried to take a look at this game and the work you do with fairness and honesty. With that said I've seen the love you have for the MechWarrior series and I can't think of anyone I would rather have developing this game. You believed in MechWarrior when no one else wanted anything to do with it. If this was all about making a profit I'm pretty sure you would have moved onto another project instead of finding a way to make this one. I wish more people would realize that.

Russ, Paul, Brian, Tina, Foxy, and everyone else at PGI, thank you for the game, and thank you for the support you gave me.

The reason I'm calling it quits to full time streaming is because next week I start my time as a college freshman (at 42 years old) at the University of North Alabama for Entertainment Industry. I can honestly say that I wouldn't have the mental and emotional strength to do this if it wasn't for the twitch show.
My show, your game, and the MWO community helped to change my life.

Imp. This isn't the end. You, I, We, know this. at 42... to college. I wish you luck and success on your journey through there.

You know we'll still be here. we always are. And when you come back I'm sure they'll be loads of fun to be had. But for now, farewell!
