GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Apr 4, 2008

This is always funny for me, because I'm never able to keep this. But this time around I've been thinking, and my life lately has been about separating from many people so the story goes on. I'm going to be leaving high school soon, in June, and I will lose most of my friends forever. I think that instead of leaving both worlds at once, I should leave this one first. Many of you are good friends, many of you hate me, many of you just don't care about me, and that's just fine. I just want you all to know that this has nothing to do with any of you. This is me, my life, and how I want to be in the furture.

Me and AsakuraHao2004 have been having interesting conversations the last 1 or 2 days. Mainly about how life would be without GameSpot...how certain things would be easier, how there would be less pressure when it comes to games, and how there would be so much more time for other things. Basically we both together came to the conclusion that it is time to leave. Now I've almost left GS before, and I've always came back...but this one is no joke, you may believe me, you may not. Curse at me or yell or whatever if you want to, cuz all that's in front of you is a screen, and just think of me as another user.

Alright so maybe some of you would like to keep in contact, my email is finalfan789@hotmail.com

For those of you that know me on MSN, STEAM, etc., you will no longer be able to reach me through there. I'm not logging into MSN under finalfan789 anymore and my STEAM has been changed around as well.

So yea, I can imagine many of you being confused right now, well don't be. I'm gone, don't worry. In a week or two, you'll forget me and continue posting and having a good time as usual. In fact you may see me here again one day...well...not in this account if I do return. Yup, I think if i returned to GS I would like things to be simple. Not so many blogs, not so many unions, not so much pressure to know so much about games and having to own the best of the best. No, if I returned to GameSpot, I would like to keep things as simple as possible. I think that being finalfan789 finally got to me...

It's time to move on. That's the simplest reason that I can come up with.

Im deleting my videos, except for the honorable mentions videos. Those are here to stay forever. I'm leaving all unions. And last but not least I say goodbye for the last time so...

Adios Fanaticos

Hasta Luego

Why you won't log in FinalFan789@Hotmail.com again?! Why??? Why you want to leave behind what you are?! I'm very sad now man... In a week or 2? what the hell... I will never forget you man, I don't know what to say more... I'm very confused! you want to leave this side of yours forever and the worse part is that i'll never contact you again..... I'm speachless... All these thing you've archived ... everything you'll leave behind? even your msn.... I don't know... man ... I just wanted to things be better for you in the future and you could be on msn... and about popularity .. just say that you need a break and you dont need to be the best of the best.... you'll leave us just like that?

You shouldn't think this of pressure this should be a pass time. And if you are feeling that it is time to leave. I wish you all the best luck in whatever you do in life. Enjoy it. Good bye friend

Adios amigo.It was a pleasure knowing you

I will miss you.......
Posted Apr 4, 2008 3:29 pm PT
Instead of giving you one more thing to worry about, I'd rather allow you to do your own thing. Enjoy your life outside of Gamespot.

Assuming you meant you'll be chaninging your MSN name rather than not logging in on that account, then I'm sure we'll talk on msn, if not on rare occasions, the option is still there.

~Farewell for now Finalfan.

It's been a privilege being your friend on GameSpot.

I'm not going to ask you to stay, because I understand that it's time to move on. You have a life to live, and if you find this site suppressing your freedom, then do what you have to do.

I'll just say that I've really enjoyed your blogs, reviews, videos, and friendship. You were one of my most memorable friends.

I'll see you around. Maybe in the real world? Maybe...

Good luck, and enjoy your life

Well, if you really want to leave that's fine. We'll talk on MSN
Posted Apr 4, 2008 4:30 pm PT
Oh ya....Isn't it interesting that AsakuraHao2004 and Finalfan's blogs are posted at the exact same time?
Posted Apr 4, 2008 4:34 pm PT
I just got done commening on AsakuraHao2004's blog, I'll say the same thing to you:

I have said this to other people before, life is so much more important than online communties, but still, I'll miss having you around here! Take care man, I hope you have a great life, God bless! Goodbye.

Bye, I'll add your MSN later on
Posted Apr 4, 2008 5:16 pm PT
It sucks that the both of you are going to be gone But we'll all go on, and I look forward to talking to you sometime later on too. It was good to have you around man
Posted Apr 4, 2008 5:18 pm PT
au revoir
Posted Apr 4, 2008 5:32 pm PT
I suppose I should've already said my goodbye to you as I left GS already, although I didn't get the chance to, so I'll say it now we're both gone: See ya around!
Posted Apr 4, 2008 6:00 pm PT
GO bye friend. Say god-bye to queen_valentine too.
Posted Apr 4, 2008 6:22 pm PT
Pretty much as I already said to Asakura, that's kinda shocking but then I don't know you for long. It was nice meeting you though, you sound like a really nice guy. Granted that the site is addictive and pretty time consuming, but I guess that if you are not having fun anymore that's a good indicator that you are taking the right decision. And well yeah, College would require some attention and much dedication as well.

I hope you don't lose track with those people you care about here. They are the best thing about the site, no doubt.

Wish you all the very best in your life. Hugs
Posted Apr 4, 2008 7:12 pm PT
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i always hate losing a friend, but who doesn't? we're all gonna miss you i wish you the best in life and i hope you're happy with your decision
Posted Apr 4, 2008 9:02 pm PT
I'll give you a week before you come back and if not,good luck with life buddy.
Posted Apr 4, 2008 9:23 pm PT
Later.
Posted Apr 4, 2008 9:55 pm PT
Let it be done. Laters in life....IF WE MEET! BUAHAHBAHAHAAAA

....

Posted Apr 4, 2008 10:04 pm PT
Being a friend, I know what is good for you and what you truly wish. I know that life is more important than GS. Though I will miss you,I won't stop you. This is for your good and I hope you come out as a successful person.

Farewell,my friend.
