Farewell, Escapist

[Fenra]

Farewell Susan, thank you for all the insight on games I'd never heard of and wonderful articles, plus a very unique surname that I still to this day cant pronounce right!

May you find happiness in wherever the road leads you now

oh and one last thought

I'm not entirely sure who I am if I'm not "Susan from The Escapist,"

Why thats simple, you are Susan Arendt, and from looking at the replies here, she is a pretty cool and well loved lady

 

[tseroff]

It's pretty amazing to see everyone standing up to see you off. I've enjoyed reading your pieces for years and you've always been a great voice. It's always difficult to see someone awesome go, but I'm sure this isn't the last we'll hear of the great Susan Arendt.

May your path be ever bright and your pack always light. May you stride with the wind at your back into the great unknown.

This is tseroff, formerly treeboy027, signing off.

I was always happy to see new content from you Susan so I really hate to see you go! It's so sad! Especially since I hadn't gotten a chance to make it to an Escapist Expo yet and meet you in person!

But I understand the need to move on and such so I wish you all the best of luck! Really! I mean it!........Okay maybe there is a little teeny part of me that wishes you'll change your mind...but I know you won't and I really do hope you go on to great and amazing things.

See you Space Cowgirl...

Farewell, adios, good bye... none of these words are enough to convey the shared love of games and the community that you shared with us. Thanks for all of your time and effort. You shall be missed.

You always had great insights, you were consistently interesting, and you always gave your opinions in that trademark straight-shooter fashion. You were 0% bullcrap, 100% sense, and a community needs someone like that. It was always refreshing to hear/read your input, whether it be in the Podcat, in your reviews, or in your other bits-and-pieces here and there. We genuinely mean it when we say you will be missed.

I look forward to seeing what things you move onto in the future, though. Have fun.

 

[LongAndShort]

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you're going but good luck with whatever you're doing next! You were and likely will remain a joy to read and listen to, and the Escapist has lost a great editor. Still, as I said, good luck!

 

[Mikeyfell]

Sad to see you go.

Well, I suppose the silver lining is that now that there's no reason to watch the Podcat anymore you've given me an extra hour and a half of free time...
Hardly a consolation, but good luck in your future endeavors.

 

[latenightapplepie]

Oh no! This is very sad news. You will be missed, Susan. Good luck with all your future endeavours!

 

[Schtoobs]

Cool chick. I don't envy whoever has to fill your shoes. You did a great job as editor and I always enjoyed reading/listening to the work you produced, which was always of a very high standard.

All the best for the future Susan.

*flips table*

I could have done without this news.

I can only hope that this is to accept a step up for you, Mrs. Arendt. You deserve the best, and frankly was the best part of the podcats. As you can see, you will be sorely missed around here. Even from the people that may not share the same love of games, you always at least took time to understand our side, and present your own in a great, fun manner.

 

[Guffe]

Good luck with whatever you will do in the future!
And you're always welcome to jump in and comment in a thread or two

 

[Adventurer2626]

Goodbye Susan! Good luck with whatever you end up doing! Thanks for being Susan. *exuberant waving*

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Big sadface

...okay, now I've stopped blubbering, best of luck with whatever you plan to move on to Susan. You've been an awesome member of staff in all your years here, and an ace editor-in-chief. Under you I've seen amazing articles, some brilliant new features added and thanks to you I've even found some smaller (slightly weird) games that otherwise I might have missed.

So, thank you, Susan, and best of luck.

 

[Fenris97]

Cheers, Susan. Have a good life onwards, and a great career! It's been awesome to hear you in the Podcats, and you will be greatly missed.

Hi there, Susan.

It's been quite a while since I've responded on these forums, but I think this is a damn good reason to pick that up again. You've been great, these past few years. As a game journalist and editor, but also as a person. The thing that made you good was the fact that you were always a person with her own identity, and who just happened to be a game journalist. Instead of a game journalist with some distinctive personality traits. I hope (and am confident that) you will always be able to enjoy your work in the way you deserve. All the best!

 

[Alexnader]

NOOOO!

Oh please stay for the podcat, please! Throughout my time listening to it you have been by and large a constant force for insight, energy and hilarity. Good luck with your future endeavors.

Hold on a minute, Susan is leaving the Escapist...and Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who...
OMG! SUSAN IS THE NEW DOCTOR!

 

[F'Angus]

Good luck Susan. Maybe we'll see you bak here someday.

 

[Protocol95]

I don't have much of a presence here but like the others here i'm saddened to hear you're leaving. Best of luck to you, whatever happens.

Goodbye Susan, I hope you're reading this thread and seeing the almost universal love the site has for you. Your reviews have long been my favorites- not just on the site but in general. You brought us some wonderful new shows and features as well as presiding over the first of many excellent expos. You introduced me to Bastion and showed me one of the best gaming experiences of my life.

But most of all you were the most honest and genuinely funny staff member, be it on the forums or Podcat. Your insight and wit will be greatly missed by all. Good luck in your future endeavors
