Today will be my last day as Chief Editor at GBAtemp.net :(

Today will be my last day as Chief Editor at GBAtemp.net :(

I've been a member of the forum since day 1, and part of GBAtemp from before it even became a website.
I started out as a mod/release poster and worked my way up to admin, then became Chief Editor.

As Chief Editor I dealt with over 150,000 press inquiries, aquired over 1000 game review codes, and built a team of amazing mag staff who I hope will continue to publish great content for the site.

I am sad to step down, but I'll be 40 years old next year and perspective and priorities change with age. I'm doing really well in my career IRL, and my children are at the ages where they need me more than ever.


For these reasons I've made the choice to move to Former Staff.


I wish everyone here all the best, and I hope to watch the site continue to grow. When we started this forum I had no idea it would become so popular, and still be going strong nearly 20 years later!


Thanks for everything and keep on rocking..

Peace out G-town!





P.S Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't do or be something. Always challenge if you believe you are right, but most importantly, follow your dreams - if you put the work in, you'll go far!

Best wishes for you and your family. Never put your family in second place for anything, you will never regret.

Hope you have a great time with your children, enjoy them now that you can, because childhood doesn't last long and we are finite.

Best regards!

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done. From editing all of the staff’s reviews, to creating such a reliable team of writers, and for giving me a chance to be a contributor once upon a time, as well.

I can’t imagine this website without you, so I hope we all still get to see you around the site!! Best of luck with your future endeavors—knowing how you managed the staff here, you’ll do amazing at anything!

This is shocking news to me, but I'm glad that the reason you're leaving (technically ;)) is because life is going great for you!

I want to thank you for taking me on as magstaff not once--but twice. You've helped make this website what it is and I've always respected you for all the work you put in.

I truly wish you the best for all of your future endeavors. I have no idea how this site is going to run without you. But we'll manage, somehow. Love ya, m8.

And once more, another of the great ones takes their leave.

You've been incredible, mate. Thanks for having had such an enormous hand in shaping this site into what it's become. Glad to hear things are going well, and I hope that continues to hold true for years and years to come.

Wishing you all the best, dude. Cheers!!

    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
