Being a reviewer and post junkie here got me jobs in the USA and Japan that wouldn't have had me on the premises otherwise, gave credibility that no blog ever has or will, and provided a simple but soul-saving focus on the darkest days.

I hope sincerely that if nothing else, the site is preserved for reference, a kind of bragging rights goto for those of us who consider Pixelsurgeon to be the reason newsfeeds are successful anywhere.

Posted by Jon Burgerman (20 Nov 2007 19:20) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=66 Goodbye Pixelsurgeon, big thanks for all the fun and links over the years, you'll be sorely missed.

And where will shameless self promotion posts now go..? Ones like these > > >

Posted by Kevin Airgid (20 Nov 2007 18:43) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=41 We will all miss PS. I have for one learned a lot from the links posted here, and the reviews of music I would never have found. But we understand... best to go out on top then fade away!

Thanx to everyone!

Posted by Tom Muller (20 Nov 2007 11:14) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=59 I'll join in with the collective backslapping and say a big thanks to jason, reena and Rich for making Pixelsurgeon happen in the first place. 'Twas an awesome place to hang out, met some good people through it, and had fun posting sporadically.

From now on we'll meet in dark, damp alleys and greet each other with a secret handshake.
Posted by Alex Amelines (20 Nov 2007 10:58) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=104 So long and thanks for all the fish!

It was a good run and I'm happy I got to be part of it. I think this is a wise and painless way to end it. I think PS has had its fair share of cowbell...
Posted by Sam Gilbey (20 Nov 2007 09:51) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=50 Yep we had some good times didn't we? We're sorry to see it go, but as Jason explained, it's definitely time. Well, unless someone can figure out how to make the days twice as long, and us part-cyborg anyway.

We'll take that as a no. Thanks for all your support over the years, both readers, contributors and pr folk alike.

Cheers!

Posted by Jason Arber (19 Nov 2007 11:05) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=8 After seven amazing years, Pixelsurgeon is shutting its doors and closing down.

Pixelsurgeon is an enormous time drain and thanks to an expanding family and helping to create new moving image company Wyld Stallyons, I simply cannot devote sufficient time to it. So rather than let it die a slow lingering death, I'm taking it to the canal in a bag of rocks.

This has been a tough decision, and one I've struggled with over the last couple of months. I'm sure many of you will be as heartbroken as we are.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our contributors past and present for their amazing work, and to you, our audience for stopping by to read our news, reviews and interviews.

Keep on truckin'!

Posted by preshaa (9 Nov 2007 11:03) http://www.pixelsurgeon.com/about/contributors/contributor.php?id=40 How Creativity Is Being Strangled By The Law
In Larry Lessig's elegant presentation of "three stories and an argument." The Net's most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the "ASCAP cartel" to build a case for creative freedom.

Everyone who makes, buys or pirates digital media must watch this eloquent speech about the cyclical nature of bad law and bad culture.
