For over half a year now I've been entertaining the idea of retiring from the scene as I've been getting busier and busier as the days go on. It is not necessarily that I'm working more, its more of the fact that I'm going out and doing a lot more and enjoying life before all of my friends spread out and go to college all over the place. With this I've found myself playing games less and less and found myself not being on the computer as much and sort of losing track of the scene. Since I had the job writing for the CGS I've been just doing my own thing not really caring about what has been going on as I haven't been on for the amount of time I used to be able to.
Since I've stopped writing for the CGS I have hardly paid attention to what has been going on but just dabbing around eSports sites to just see if anything interesting was going on. I think at this point I've decided that its time to take a break from competitive gaming as I haven't been interested in being in a team for over 6 months now, but just playing some stuff for fun. Also I'll be taking a break from eSports Journalism for a bit until I have more time or when I start competing again. For those who know who I am from my past work and those who have actually followed my work from site to site, I thank you. I know there will be a lot of people who give the *careface* at this post and for that matter I don't really care. For all those who have helped me along the way, thank you too for all your help and guidance. Thanks to those who gave me a chance to get started in the scene as a journalist and staff member whether it be a webmaster position, writer, editor-in-chief, head of staff, whatever it may have been.
I'll be around checking in in sites from time to time so if you want, just leave a message and I'll respond when I see it! Who knows, I may be back someday soon so take care! ;)
