Good luck to all your newfound time. I enjoyed the site for the few weeks I knew about it. Best of luck.

Bummer, but I understand. Hopefully someone else pops up to do the same thing. I just found the site recently and its been great. Thanks for all the hard work.

I just want to say thanks for all the hard work you put in, and that for the last 6 months, this is pretty much the only game site I visited.

Good luck with your future projects. I don't know about you, but my exams just ended (I hate bio-chem so much) and now I'm going to enjoy the sun (and by that I mean stare at girls wearing very little clothing and perhaps even...talk to a few!!!!)

I used to be subscribed to around 150 game news feeds, and would check them obsessively. I eventually stopped, because I got sick of reading through hundreds of news posts a day. It's too bad this site won't be posting game news anymore, as it seems I'll have to revert back to the ridiculous amount of feeds.

Have you thought about using del.icio.us? Just tagging game news stories you find interesting, and having it post them here?

This was honestly the first site I would check when I got home from school. I'll miss it, that's for sure.

I agree with the others, this was pretty much the first and only site I'd go to for gaming news and the like. Thanks for your hard work here and at P-Boi, Bill. Take care.

This is my favorite website that doesn't have lolcats.

This was my only news source, all other game blogs blow. I'm going to miss it.

Awwww fuck. Well, thanks for the great site for such a long time Bill. I guess I'll revert to not getting any game news at all. Yours was the only one I ever bothered with.

Damn, dude. This was one of my most frequently visited and favourite sites. I'm going to miss it for sure. I appreciate all the work you've put into it and enjoyed getting my daily dose of your trademark sarcasm. Don't know how I'll waste small increments of time at school next year. Happy trails, Bill.

Thanks for all the hard work. I'll miss the news.

:(

Echo what Joe said. You basically saved me the hard work of wading through the uninteresting stories on numerous RSS feeds to tell me what I wanted to know. The trouble with feeds is that article headlines are so often too vague to know whether its worth reading or not.

That said, I realise it must have been a great waste of effort on your part for no return. Good luck with whatever you do with the place. I'll certainly keep watching.

But god damn, back to the ugly, bloatware, ad-infested news sites to get my "scoops". And no force on earth would get me subscribing to Kotaku.

Thanks for the year and a half of reliable gaming news, Bill. A lot more people appreciated this place than you probably knew, so if nothing else you can rest assured your updates had an audience even if they weren't always the most vocal.

Yeah, we can get news at those other sites, but I liked getting it here.

Okay, so you said you're dropping the news. So does tha mean other content will be here in its place?

Aww... awwwwwwww. This was my one and only stop for gaming news. I would check the site throughout the day waiting for the update, and when I got done fishing though it, I was always wanting more. Then came the wonderful twice-a-day updates. Now no updates. RSS feeds can eat it, because they don't add the personal comments.

Oh well. Do what you gotta do, Bill. Yer still the best.

I've been coming to ErrorMacro for news exclusively for months now. It's been great to get all the news at once, and I think you did an awesome job doing it. Best of luck in wherever you go from here, and thank you for the time you put into it!

Thanks for what you did Bill.

Damn, that's a shame.
This was the only site I had the time to read and still get all the news.

Thanks for donating your time, and best of luck for the future.

Well, that was awesome while it lasted. I can't seriously see checking 20 sites a day for the news you give, so I guess it's back to the forums till a user run Error Macro pops up.

This is a shame. I always wondered how in the world you kept all of this up, so it's completely understandable. I can barely handle a post a day on the sites I work on.

I'm not big on Kotaku OR Joystiq, so I guess I'll wander around for a while.

Looking forward to whatever becomes of Error Macro.

Thanks everybody. This is more of a response than I expected.

The site itself isn't going anywhere. I'm just going to stop trying to be a news site and instead focus on my writing. Articles, scans, and dare I say the occassional blog-esque random rambling.

I don't know if that's as appealing as game news, but that's what you're getting.

I never made a comment before, but I really liked checking this site for news and stuff. Your banners were always funny and classy at the same time. Your experiment was pretty successful, if you ask me.

Well, that was awesome while it lasted. I can't seriously see checking 20 sites a day for the news you give, so I guess it's back to the forums till a user run Error Macro pops up.

Thank you so much for the time we've had at least!
I've been using this site exclusively for gaming news, i just can't navigate through the mess that is other sites.
I adored the funny remarks on each link as well.

Unless there's a way to make you reconsider, i'd really like to read that guide to others sites you mentioned sometime.

Bill, thanks a lot for all the hard work. It was nice while it lasted, but I guess I'll go back to skimming tons of RSS feeds. I don't know how long I can go without getting pissed at Kotaku and Joystiq, though... oh well. I would love to see you write some more editorial-like things and wish you luck with whatever you decide to do next-- I'll still be here to see it.

I don't mean this to sound harsh, but the saturday scans were always the least interesting part of this site for me. There was only so much "gee look at old magazines" I could really take before I got bored and started skipping them.

That said, I'd love a few more personal articles/ramblings. Opinion pieces are much more interesting to read, and I always appreciate them.

This was one of the 3 websites that I checked every morning before work and every night before I went to bed.

Thank you so much for your hard work. I mirror the statment made by others by saying this was one of, or The best video game news sources. You will be very, very missed.

How will I ever be able to get through my days at work now? Oh for shame....... I am chained to a cubicle, and will now be without error macro guy. Sometimes the fanboy bs was annoying, but for the most part this one probably the site that kept me from completely dying spiritually as a result of having an office job.

Your RSS feed brightened up my homepage for far too short of a time. It's the only one I've actually read 100% of the news from, too. Great job, and good luck in the future.

You provided a great service, and this was the only site I'd check for video game news. I look forward to the new incarnation of errormacro.

Thank you for your hard work in keeping us informed.

This is sad news. Your site was easily the most convenient as far as covering all bases and never failing to point out a great article or site that I probably never would've found out otherwise, and your commentary was always welcome.

I can see your reasons for choosing not to continue it, though, and I look forward to the new content.

Wow, bummer. I subscribe to a few other RSS feeds, but yours always had an interesting story or two (or three or four) that the others missed. It let me keep up on gaming news without wading through all the same stories at 10 different sites. Sorry to see it go!

Thanks for all your work. I understand not continuing it, but I dare say I'll miss the news site. It was a good run for the few months I knew about it; your site has been complete, concise, and enjoyable such that it became my primary source of gaming info (other than GameTrailers.com, which I only use for trailers because the rest of their content sucks).
Best of luck in the future :)

Sorry to see your website go. It is da bomb shits. Kept me alive at work, too.

Thanks for all the great work and good luck in the future.

Damn shame. You were what I considered the finest source of videogame news - period.

You found the good stuff, boiled out all the crap,ad presented it to us free of charge. I salute you sir.

Good luck man! You meant the world to us - and shall always be fondly remembered.

I've never commented before but I've been visiting Error Macro since the begening. It's become my primary and prefered news source on the next.

Hate to see you go, but thanks for creating the best news site I ever did see. I've always apriciated your hard work and witty comments on the state of videogames today.

Thank you so much for this great site. I look forward to what you will make of Error Macro.

It's a shame to see you go. Error Macro had quickly become one of my favorite sites.

Thank you for providing the service as long as you did. I even enjoyed your commentary.

I don't know what I am going to do at work now... I hope I don't start actually working...

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

This site was EXACTLY what I was looking for, just news with some humourous dry commentary!

I hope you reconsider, if not, thanks for hard work you put in!

Damn, a cold hard shame. Loved the site, and look forward to seeing any other writings you might do, I loved what you did at the now barely updating Pro Boi site.

But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and I understand if you want to move on with your life.

BTW, if each one of us who cared went to one site and found most of the interesting info on it and posted it here, we'd probably create a bigger and possibly better Error Macro. Or a long and convuluted unending forum post.

Just look at your own title graphic!!

"You can't cut back on error macro! You will regret this!!!"

Darn...well as one of the two people that did rely on this site for my gaming news I'm a little upset.

It is your blog, and I respect that fact wholeheartedly...but still...it is depressing.

Best of luck to you, and I look forward to new posts that you will make (as I love your style of commentary).

this was the only site i read for gaming news. fuck man, where am i going to go now

no! with erromacro gone I will have to kill myself now!

In all seriousness this was my go to place for updates on gaming Ermac, and I made it a point to check every day. If you make a blog or opt to go some other path I will definitely read your writing. Thank you for your efforts, for what its worth.

I will miss what you did, man. Just straight summaries with the occasional sarcasm attached. No not-funny writers, no useless cake stories, just what I want, and from everywhere.

worst birthday present ever!

thanks for running the site, i cheacked this twice daily (often 7 or 8 times hehe) and the news you provided was always relevent and funny,

will miss it muchly, good luck in the future

chris

This was my favorite news site, over voodoo extreme, kotaku, 1up and bluesnews combined. Your comments were always spot on.

It will be missed.

Thank you for all that you have done. I have been reading the site multiple times daily for almost a year. I thoroughly enjoyed the times you put your two cents in on stories. Good luck in the future.

Thank you! and good luck!!

Thanks a lot, Bill. It was a great year and a half. Like many others I checked the site several times a day and always loved your two sentence commentaries. I'll miss having a single source for gaming news, but can't wait to see what you do with the site in the future.

Good luck.

This was the only gaming site I checked every day, not to mention I loved everything you did on P-Boi. I know I'm like the 60th poster to say this, but thanks for the hard work.

i literally checked this site every day.

Aww man. Thanks for making the internet a better place to be. Your efforts will be missed.

Man, today is full of bad news.

Let me echo the others; this was one of the only sites I obsessively checked for the last few months, and I greatly appreciated your efforts. I hate wading through the garbage of Kotaku, or dealing with the annoying flash and other crap at the other sites.

Have you considered some ways of supporting the time you invest into the site? I'd buy an Error Macro T-shirt. ;)

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but I doubt I'll stick around for scans/writings/etc. Good luck with your pursuits.

Just like everyone else - this site IS one of the only non-obnoxious news sites and I really liked it. It's a shame you're stopping, but I can understand why you are.

Damn, man. I really liked Error Macro's game news, even if I commented inconsistently. You suck for ending it, but at least you might be able to write some cool stuff like back in your P-Boi days.

NOOOOOOOOO. Goddamnit.

You can't cut back on error macro! You will regret this!

(it's on your own site even)

I think I must check myself into the clinic, this was the only site I checked. I loved your spin on it, and yes gathering it can be a bitch i've done it. But its also satisyfing to know you have readers, this isn't like a blog no one knows about it seems to be a well traveled place and I guess its ashame this shall be my final visit then.

Yeah, this was my favorite site for games news just because it was all listed in a nice way and I didn't have to sift through all the crap. Thanks for everything you've done! I'll still check this site daily for...something.

I sure wish there was a replacement. Error Macro was the best game news site.

Perfect for those of us who can't stand the idiots at Joystiq or the idiots at Kotaku who keep trying to be more like the idiots at Joystiq.

Maybe you should train a replacement. An apprentice.

A sad day indeed.

I'm sorry to hear that. I always relayed on your site for gaming news, now I will have to go through neogaf or some shit like that.

Anyways, thanks for your posts all this time, you did a really good work and I really appreciate it.

I'll still be subscribed to this blog, I'm sure you'll have something interesting to say ;)

I'm sorry to hear it.. I really liked the news posts - the convenience and detail they offered was second to none.

Still, it's your decision.. good luck in the future.

But hey, looking at it optimistically, if this means more of "Mario's Bastard Children" then...

..I guess it won't hurt as bad :)

I'll really miss the news post. Saved me alot of time when browsing for news.

Guess it's RSS from now on, then.

Aw. Well, I certainly enjoyed it while it lasted. Kudos!

I certainly enjoyed coming here for almost-no-nonsense game reporting without a megaton of ads and cookie forward and what not. I will miss this.

Aww. =( This was the only site I read for gaming news any more. I loved how it was all succinct, comprehensive, straight-forward, and with no crap. For the last six months I've come here once a day (twice a day recently) to get updated quickly about all of the gaming news in one place. It was easy to tell what I would be interested reading about with your succinct summaries.

I can imagine it'd be a terrible thorn in your side to update it twice a day though, with it always hanging over your head as something frustrating that you "have" to do, so I don't blame you. Especially without many comments and not knowing how many people are reading the updates. Thank you so much for all the updates you did do and for working so hard on the site, I really appreciate it!

It was greatly appreciated and it will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the last few months!

Nothing quite like this site for finding that unusual editorial actually worth reading. More blog commentary sounds like fun, but I wonder what I will do now to accurately keep up with gaming news. Digg is fun but hardly accurate or impartial. ^__^ I will be subsrcibing to those newsfeeds you reccomend in your heed.
