All good things must come to an end and apparently that also applies to whatever it is that I do here.
As you may have gleaned from the headline, this is my last post here at Destructoid. I've been offered a job with Wired, and aside from collecting their large checks, I'll be writing on a daily basis for their Game|Life blog. It took a lot of soul-searching and counting zeros to come to this decision, but since my goals in life all revolve around swimming in Scrooge-McDuckian vaults of gold coins, you can see how this route was almost predetermined.
Since my eyes are quickly welling up with tears and my dog needs to go outside to pee, I'll keep this short: I love you all and if it wasn't for my shallow preoccupation with things like not starving and being able to buy speedboats, I'd never leave you.
That said, if you need me I'll be over here in my speedboat with these two gorgeous twins and this dinosaur who I had cloned from a chunk of amber. Like Scooby Doo before me, we plan on solving crimes in our free time, so if any of you had plans to dress up as crocodiles and scare people away from your uncle's remote resort, THINK AGAIN!

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

You've become one of my favorite editors here at destructoid and you will be missed. Now I'll have to start reading that game life blog you mentioned.
Hey, being that I'm a big fan of the magazine, what are the chances we will see you in the monthly editions of wired?
Congrats and good luck.

Best wishes for your new endeavor!
Take care!
Also, don't lose sight of your goals, and don't be afraid to keep setting that bar even higher with even loftier goals*.
*lasers for your dinosaur
You are dying, right? I just kind of skimmed the article. Anyway, that totally sucks, and I'll always remember you as The Little Engine Who Did.
Good luck, Nexypoo. You'll be missed.
all the best Nex
Good luck, Nex. We'll miss you!
also way to brag about that whole money thing. I'm sure everyone on the staff here appreciates the "fuck you"
Also, don't be like Summa.
Whatever. Good luck and may you have many thousands of opportunities to make generous laughs on all of your future ventures.
We'll miss ya man, unlike Summa. Good luck at Wired.
And no matter how much you deny it, the Smashing Pumpkins still suck now.
Congrats on the skillup, and don't forget your non-compete doesn't mean you can't keep your account and call blehmen a cunt.
i'm just saying...
that is all.
