"Time passes, people move.... Like a rivers flow, it never ends..." - Sheik It is with a heavy heart that I'm announcing the end of this podcast. It's been almost  4 years in the making but it's time to say goodbye. You can hear more of my thoughts on the matter in the episode linked below but I can't say it enough: thank you. Thank you to everyone who has ever downloaded, subscribed, or tuned into this show over these last 4 years. It's been an incredible experience and I'm grateful for every second of it. This show has meant the world to me and I owe it to you, the listeners. I hope you've enjoyed 8 Bits & Joysticks. Maybe after some time away it will return. It's too early to tell. In the meantime, listen to the final episode for more details and thank you one last time. -Andrew     Produced and Directed by Andrew Padula

DISCLAIMER: Please excuse the poor quality for this episode. I've explained it on the site, our Facebook page, and Twitter account but basically the computer we edit on crashed during the editing process and corrupted the original file. This audio is pulled from the archived Twitch broadcast so it's not great sounding. We apologize for this but we figured this was better than nothing. Thanks for putting up with this and we'll definitely practice better file management in the future! It's our 50th podcast episode!
