Congratulations !!!

Bad news for me, your podcast was my favourite gaming activity during office hours

I listen also to Gaming Steve's podcasts which are good but not that fun. So, anyone knows other good/fun gaming podcast around?

For PC gaming:

Computer Gaming World
PCGamer

For general gaming:

1up has their 1up Yours show.
Gamespot has the Hotspot.

Each of them are decent, but none have the personality that GWJ Radio had. I know PCGamer is going to be adding in ads soon, and CGW already does some (from their own network, but I'm sure that will expand soon).

Good luck Fletcher! Just draw one of our names out of a hat and send all your recording equipment on over. We'll (sniff) carry on without you.

Congrats Fletch...this is kind of a happy/sad moment.

I really look forward to this radio program every week. Hands down then best, funniest and most informative radio show.

Hope it comes back soon.

I haven't had time to finish the GWJ radio show but are you going to be at E3? And are you going to have to leave GWJ altogether? Oh ya and Congrats, the show has been awesome. It will definately be a shame to see it go.

Fletcher, you can still post in the forums right? Very happy to hear you can get paid doing what you love, even if it ends GWJ Radio. You need to exert your editorial power (once you are situated) to have them pull Certis in as a contractor to do Escapist Radio, brought to you by GWJ.

Congratulations! The Escapist rocks.

Now I'm eagerly awaiting Certis's Oblivion GWJ-fantasy level. If it can even come close to approximating the awesomeness of Elysium's 'The Movies' movie I will be might impressed.

Haven't listened to the show yet, but from my reaction to the comments, you would think that I'd just been sentenced to death by snoo snoo.

When I consider that this is Fletcher's last front-page contribution to GWJ, well, let's just say that my reaction is less than forcefully masculine. You have given us all so very much, Fletch; it is all we can do in return to issue congratulations, and to hope that you grasp the profundity of our appreciation for what you've done.

Sigh, all good things come to an end... eventually. Just look at it, first it was Black Isle, then 'Infinite Lives' by Sway and now Fletcher/GWJ Radio.

None the less, I'd like to say again Congrats and good luck, Fletch.

Best of luck to you Fletcher, you'll be missed on the Podcast, that's for sure. I'll echo what's been said already: the 'Gamers with Jobs' radio show is / was probalby one of the best podcasts around, and I doubt anything will come as close to just how funny and enjoyable it was. Listening to both you and Certis every week was like getting together with a couple of friends and catching up.

Congrats many time over, and I wish the best of luck to you!

I'm guessing The Escapist may be seeing a significant increase in readership after this. Grats Fletch!

Your work will be sorely missed around here, but I wish you all the best.

Also, I can almost guarantee you that the Escapist will be getting a notable boost in readership in the coming weeks. Now, about that Escapist Radio idea...
