Taking A Break (For A Bit)

Hi, Paul here... with, erm, an announcement.

More observant listeners will have probably noticed that my presence on the show and blog has been somewhat low-profile over the last few months. This is due to a number of reasons, most of which have nothing to do with Digital Cowboys, but are clearly impacting my ability to make a useful contribution to the show.

As such, and after much discussion with Alex and Tony, I have decided to take a break from Digital Cowboys for a few months. I am delighted with the increase we have seen in the popularity of the show and blog (which is getting more and more hits every day) thanks to Alex and Tony's phenomenal efforts, but sadly I am not really able to match them at the moment. Not having much time to play video games beyond singing a few songs every other evening is not really the best position to be in for someone who is co-hosting a video game podcast! I'm also conscious of the increased emphasis being placed on written articles on the blog and... well, to be perfectly honest, I'm not really much of a writer either. :(

I will be back – probably sometime after my holiday to Australia in May – and will definitely be joining my fellow Cowboys for the journey to PAX in Seattle in early September. In the meantime, I will still be contributing to the show by helping to maintain the blog (something I have been doing since the beginning), so think of this as a temporary farewell rather than a long goodbye.

Ciao for now,

Paul Shotton.
