Summary

This week we have a very special (and very sad) episode, in which we say our final goodbyes to hosts Nathan Grayson and Ashley Parrish. To kick off this goodbye-themed episode, we start with a short discussion on games we haven't finished specifically because we can't bear to say goodbye. Then, we get into a conversation about the all-time best video game goodbyes. And finally, we wrap by Nathan, Ash, and Fahey reflecting on their time at Kotaku—from the weirdest and best reader emails, to the ways they've each changed during their time at Kotaku.

Fear not listeners, we'll be back soon with a revised version of the podcast in just a couple of weeks. And Fahey's still here! But for now, we wish Nathan and Ash all the best on their new adventures!

Yeah, so to dispense with the vagueness,

0:53.8

this is a special episode because... to dispense with the vagueness.

1:01.5

This is a special episode because the podcast is going to go away for a little bit after this one.

1:08.3

The short version is that I am leaving Kotaku and Ash is also leaving Kotaku.

1:14.0

And while I have no doubt that Fahey would host an incredible one-man show,

1:20.3

it's not really a popular podcasting format, I don't think.

1:24.9

If I were a glass, it would be popular.

1:26.4

That's true.

1:28.6

But then you have like a whole production team behind you.

1:30.7

Like it's a different thing that I'm not sure.

1:34.2

GeoMedia has equipped us well to handle.

1:35.2

I'll just do that.

1:35.8

Okay.

1:38.0

You can do all of the various aspects of it, not just like being on the show,
