It’s with a heavy heart and great sadness that I announce my resignation from Kinda Funny, effective immediately.

This morning, the guys and I had a constructive conversation, and feel that, with our separate visions for the future and for the direction of the company, it’s time to go our separate ways. I want to be clear that this was my decision. Just as we collaborated as friends, so too do we part. I hope you continue to support them. I simply want to reconnect with what’s most important to me. Politics, history, philosophy. Reading books. Talking about things I feel are most impactful and essential for a person like me.
I want to thank everyone for their support of me -- and us -- over these years. When I started writing about games professionally in 2002 as a freshman in college, never, ever, did I think I’d reach the heights I did. I owe a great deal to an audience that generously sustained me, supported me, and followed me, and I also owe a lot to those who gave me opportunities to begin with. I will always remember and be grateful for this entire experience.

Opportunities are already popping up for me, bringing me in a new, different, and exciting direction, a direction that I feel makes perfect sense for me. Obviously, you haven’t seen or heard the last of me. Far from it. I hope that when I return with what’s next, you will support me there, just as you’ve supported me over these many years.
Your Friend, -Colin

Crazy. Profoundly saddened that it had to come to this. He had a lot of interesting things to say to me, just not what he's been saying lately...

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Really didn't see that coming. It will be a really different dynamic without him. I'm sure the team will be fine but they will definitely lose a dimension.

He kind of always rubbed me the wrong way, but I respected him for the most part. Sad that he's splitting, and seemed like this was going to happen based off all the drama llama on Twitter lately. Damn shame, but not a surprise.

Too bad. Although I've been a little disillusioned with their content lately, I am sad that it turned out this way. His interviews with Jason Schreier and Adam Boyes were great watching, and I'll remember the days on Podcast Beyond fondly.
