Hold on a minute, Susan is leaving the Escapist...and Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who...
OMG! SUSAN IS THE NEW DOCTOR!
I can neither confirm nor deny this information.
I'd definitely watch that.

OT: Best of luck to you in whatever you do, Ms. Arendt. We'll all miss you

Susan we will miss you sorely. You were the most interactive EiC the Escapist has ever had (or any other online publication for that matter). You always explained your choices and made sure we knew what to expect from the site and you, and you made some wonderful changes during your time here. I wish you fortune in whatever comes next for you!

I think those of us drawn to the site for the PodCat will be most upset by this news... I'm gutted.

Seems interesting that Susan can't say where she is off to... I'm guessing a 'non-disclosure' agreement was in place.

I hope to find out where she has gone though ;)

I'm surprised I only noticed this now. With Susan gone, I might go check out Destructoid more often for gaming news. I have noticed a decline in news quality, and I don't recall any news contributors that I particularly like.

Thanks for all you hard work for us, I know for a fact that you helped site contributors improve their work to a significant degree.

You are one of the Big Bosses of Escapist. I hope this is not a Goodbye, but rather a See You Next Time.

Was she the one who hired Yahtzee? Because that is the only choice which ever attracted hits to this place.

You worked very hard to make this website work. You left it better than you found it, which is a testament to your abilities. Good luck with whatever you are leaving to do.

Well, damn. :( That's...really sad. I always looked forward to your videos, because you had a way of convincing me to try games I might not have, which I ended up totally loving, or making me love all things Corgi. Well, I'm going to stiffen my lip, but on a brave facade, and wish you all the best, Susan. May you be as liked and respected in your next endeavor as you were by the community here. What? No, I'm totally not about to cry. I have allergies, I swear.

I once watched half an escapist podcast video. In it, Susan Arendt said that she finds it pitiful when someone posts an "I'm leaving" thread. Her response: "OK, bye."

Maybe someone else will be able to get a word in edge ways on one of those videos now. Might try watching one again, next week...

Yeah, because those two situations are completely identical. Your analogy is perfection!

Aww. Sorry to hear that you are leaving. The podcat won't be as fun without you, but good luck on your future endeavors!

Don't be a stranger Susan~ you're an inspiration to me and many other people (particularly women) on here.
We'll be sad to see you go, but hopefully you move on to bigger and better things. If I see "Susan Arendt for next President" posters, I won't be surprised. XD

Day 19.

This place looks a desert more and more as time goes by. People aimlessly wander around. We have lost so much in so little time. I don't know what we should do...

Step out for a moment and the world changes... Ok, maybe it was longer, but I was wondering why there was less Susan around and now I find that one of my favorite contributors of the escapist is gone (kinda). It makes me sad and I wish her all the best.
