Really sad that Anthony and ARREN have to leave. Well, good luck to you both.
...oh shit, I just realized: no more Rev Rants then? Dammit, I really like watching Anthony ramble in front of a camera.
Well, Brad is hosting and Joseph Leray is going to a permanent cast member and that's awesome.

My heart, it hath snapped in twain at this news! I will miss you, Mr. Burch.
@T3h_Kaiser- Kill the dissident! KILL HIM!

Oh damn, Anthony is leaving? I guess I'll have to give this one a listen. I'm kind of upset now, I really felt like I learned something from hearing and reading what you have to say. I considered you among one of the few journalist who helped me understand games better. Good luck to whatever you do, I guess.
@ Anthony - You said you're still doing HAWP, but is there any chance we'll get to read or hear your thoughts on games anywhere? It's probably hard to tell now I'm sure, but I hope that this isn't going to be a watch-Anthony-slip-off-the-face-of-the-earth thing.
Anthony: Will you be calling us cunts before you go?
Also, I stared listening to Podtoid holy crap 100 episodes ago, roughly, and you were my first host, and it seems just wrong for you to leave. I guess it's basically like the doctor, only not
Aaron: Looks like, according to the comments so far, that you aren't as loved as Anthony. I'll miss you though. Or at the very least, I'll miss the Nick impressions that happen every someone says your name

Anthony please stay in contact with everyone on Twitter/Facebook.
and if you find time shining Randy's shoes you should make another blog ;D

We're gonna miss you guys. But thanks for answering my question! Even though I was thinking more along the lines of games from previous console generations; really old games.
Anthony :(
You were my favorite editor. I'm going to be so sad. I promise to buy every game you make at Gearbox.
Also, is Ashley Davis still going to be here?

Who the fuck is Aaron Linde?
:)
I kid, I actually will miss both Aaron and Anthony a lot. Their banter along with Jim's britsh-ness made for a great rapport. I still remember ye olde days when Tiff was on and they'd drive her mad. Good times indeed.
And I always did want to see "Rev and Linde on the Road" actually made into a reality show. That would be reality TV worth watching.

Questions:
Rev Anthony- Are you going to do Rev Rants on your own time perhaps? That or will you try to give us some game feedback in Hawpcasts like you have before, because I'm assuming that is still going on as HAWP goes on. If you aren't going to do Rev Rants outside Destructoid, do a couple before you go!
Regardless, I'll miss your "I don't give a shit but I'm going to still maintain professionalism nonetheless" act that works so well.
I'll dearly miss ARREN as well, he was always one of the more moderate voices and I really loved his inputs on almost all of the points, and I can't help but agree 100% with the terrifying enemy aspect of games, its great and needs to be in more. Hopefully you'll guest star sometimes.
Brad will be an amazing host. Episode 133 and 128 showed me that. He has an incredible energy and is a very funny yet on-topic guy. If his hosting is as good as his editing/writing, I'll keep on loving the show. He does miss them from time to time though, so I hope he gets his schedule settled.
Leray will be very nice as well, as he's one of my favorite guests, and is also one of my favorite writers as well.
@Anthal Can't help but agree, Samit is great in podtoid, and as a writer/guy, but cannot be allowed to host.
Good job this week though.

I'll miss Anthony's work on Destructoid, but HAWP will still persist, and enjoying Anthony's work at Gearbox is a very appealing idea. He's still going to be around in a way we all can appreciate. I look forward to picking up games with Anthony Burch listed in the credits.
Sad to hear, but congrats on the new job Anthony! I look forward to see what kind of work you will do with them.
Aaaaaaaawwwwwww... You're my favorite part of this website! Tell me you'll be blogging or doing critiques because I really enjoy reading them. Good luck!
Aaron, you're a badass motherfucker. Stay classy.
Brad, I'm sure you'll be a great host.

super congrats, anthony! I took the liberty of updating your GiantBomb profile...I hope the mods overlook your first credited game :D
I'm really quite bummed about this. Linde, Anthony, Jim and Tiff got me through my weeks. Tiff for Topher was an even trade, and I love Leray, but my weeks just won't be the same anymore. Where else can I hear Linde yell and make noises about things I agree with?! Who's going to talk about arthouse games now? I'm sure the new show will be just fine, but I'm definitely going to miss everything about the old one.
Also, please don't put music in the show anymore. It seems to always have music when Anthony isn't hosting.

Good luck Anthony, you were probably my favourite editor. I'll miss both you and Aaron on Podtoid. Good luck at Gearbox.
Oh, and is the HAWPcast still happening?
Oh, and is the HAWPcast still happening?
Well, good luck at Gearbox, you pretentious windbag. I'm glad to see you do more than just talk about games. I'm sure you'll have a positive impact on the company and games in general.
As for Aaron... Fuck. You and Jim are the funniest people on the podcast, and you're going to leave a huge void in the show for me personally. And no, that's not a thinly veiled fat joke. I'm a bit upset about this. I found myself agreeing with you more than anyone else on this thing.
And no offense to Topher, Samit, or Nicholson, but if Jim ever leaves, I probably won't listen to Podtoid anymore, as much as I hate to say it. You're all great guys, but none of you are particularly passionate about the games I play. I have no interest in a mostly PC RPG/FPS/sports/shmup/racing/fighting game centric podcast. I don't know what Joseph Leray is into, but as is, you guys don't seem too into what I am. And that's a shame, really. I love the current setup.
Anyway, good luck with the new Podtoid.

... This news makes me really sad now. I'll miss you both. Linde because he shares a first name with me and because he's awesome.
And Anthony because I loved hearing his impressions on games. I got into Podtoid last year so it just seems too soon. At least Jim will still be here and Topher's Journalism Show will provide some laughs.
Best of luck you two!

Good luck Anthony and Aaron. Sounds like some great opportunities. What will you be doing at Gearbox Anthony? Programming or something like that?
Changes indeed. The show had been sorely lacking in Chet lately, and now the show's gonna be injected with protein powder, adrenaline, and Joseph Leray directly into the bloodstream every week? Good luck and God speed, Samit.
Well, good luck to Anthony and Aaron with your future endeavors. You two have been on the show for how long now? Geez.
Btw Anthony, make sure Gearbox makes a proper ending for the probable Borderlands 2, please.

Anthony, I was just entering destructoid this last week looking for your articles... and then this. :(
Dude, all the way below, in South America, you'll be missed. Looking forward to your awesome designs in Gearbox!!!!!

Anthony in plano tejas?...really?
Gearbox is seriously 7 minutes away from my house...let the stalking begin!!

Damn. Well, it sounds like you got pretty cool jobs, so congratulations, although I will miss you guys.
The heck? Even though Tiff left roughly a couple of years ago, that didn't hit me that hard. Now Anthony and Aaron as well?! Goddamnit. If Samit is allowed to host every week, I'm going to die of depression.
I'm going to miss the Samit bashing, HERPDERPDERP, lion-growling sound effects, collaborative Aaron and Topher fascination of shmups, a different RPG point of view(considering Topher doesn't talk much, who knows when Adam is allowed to talk, and Brad and Samit especially don't talk about it), and many, many more funny moments.
Thank you gentlemen. Please do return once in a while to record for Podtoid. I just can't possibly imagine Samit reviewing a JRPG.

"I'm going to miss the Samit bashing"
WOW, I didn't realize that the average Podtoid listener actually enjoyed listening to good people get ridiculed.
As a good friend of Samit, this really disheartens me.

I kind of expected Rev to leave cause I know he was getting to a point where he was already separating himself. But Linde? This is the worst possible news. Aaron always seems to be the best person to allow comic timing among the whole group. He sets people up in subtle ways to provide their own entertaining comments and I think that will really be missed. You can replace him with other funny/informative people, but Linda will be a talent whose absence leaves a void. A very large void.
