The Podcastle episode 23: Goodbye, England's Rose photo

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the end of an era. Yes, today marks the sad and tragic farewell of a podcasting institution. It's been a wild and crazy ride, but it was inevitable. All good things come to an end, so we humbly present to you the FINAL episode of The Podcastle ...

... to be recorded completely in England. 

No, you dolts! Contrary to the ten thousand questions and threats on the subject, my moving to America will NOT see The Podcastle suddenly stop being recorded. No, the show will only stand to grow as you not only get your latest happenings from the homeland, but a Brit's-eye-view of the American gaming scene. That's something that is mildly interesting!

All that said, it is still a sad episode, because I will no longer be able to smack Wardrox in the back of the head or sneak into Atheistium's room at night to do terrible, terrible things. Our relationship is going long distance, and that is a time for reflection. Or shouting and swearing ... always hard to tell the difference.

As usual, you can download or stream the show from our official Podcastle page or subscribe on iTunes. Whatever you feel like, son.

Jim, you look somewhat like Tom Warrior from Celtic Frost in that picture.

I consider this abandonment. We don't want wardrox getting too big for his boots. We need you to keep him down.

Atheistium saying that the PS3 has a hardware failure rate as high as the X-Box 360s is the funniest thing I've heard all day. I mean... whaaa? Did her unicorn secretary bring that breaking news in from the Faerieland AP feed? Jesus H. Christ, that's pulling a response outta your ass if I've ever heard one.

I hope you mushroom printed her forehead for that one.

Krystal rocks I miss that about the south, I don't miss the humidity however. Which brings me to something I wish I'd thought of before you recorded. Do you realize that in six months or a year or after your move you'll have the most interesting accent ever.Sea Monkey's for the win

If you ever tire of the ignorant yokels infesting Mississippi, come visit me in Memphis, where we can observe an entirely different brand of ignorant wankers. Also, I might buy drinks.

Here's hoping you'll have a NARP for us poor fucks trapped in the Bible Belt.

How dare you scold me for not following the minute details of your life, Mr. Sterling. If you didn't include the info in the post, you can't expect people to know it!

Racists against commenters, harumph.

Just listened to the podcast - all I can say is MUAHAHAHAHA! Don't you go changin' on my account Atheistium! Anyway, cut me some slack - at least I didn't make a face-jizzing comment, tempting though it was....

Anyhoo, great podcast guys, glad to hear the 'castle will continue!

I think the UK is a little less British now that you have gone... But hey, maybe you can teach those Americans to spell correctly.
