Just in case:
In the short year you have been Editor-in-Chief, you have been monumental in the transformation of this site into the intellectual and civilized paradise it has become as a gaming medium.
I as a person, gamer, and ultimately escapist, must give my supreme utmost appreciation, and thanks to you for this. Through the innovative views, opinions, and insights given through your articles and podcasts, you have given a clarity to me that has helped me find a spectacular appreciation (and a new-found drive for a career) in the future of games and the gaming industry as a whole. Trust me when I say that. Through the Escapist, gaming has become one of, if not the, biggest aspect of my life and I am fully comitted in the support and growth of the industry. It has given me shelter as a lover of games where that love is rarely found, and has shown me new and exciting areas and fields that I would never have known before. I personally thank you for delivering this, not only to me, but to the hundreds of others on this site.
Know that I will support your future career in gaming journalism and I wish nothing but the best of luck to you.
I'll see you in Sovngarde.
