It was an emotional moment when I read that. It's in my contract with Machinima Inc that I can republish any of my writing that has been lost from M.Com, so I may have to dig out some of my other favourite articles at some point... But thanks for all the compliments, everyone. Although I fear Johnnie's knowledge of my underwear drawer. Aww, thanks, everyone!

Hugh's journalistic experience (and expertise) far outweighs my own. And if we're a dynamic duo, I'm definately Robin. Hugh is the one with the not-quite-so-stupidly-coloured underpants who gets to look cool again later in life by taking the piss out of himself on Family Guy. Thanks for posting this again, Phil. I can vividly remember when Hugh wrote this. He sent the first draft to my monitor in the cramped Strange Company office to proof-read, and even in that early draft it was obvious that the post would serve as a milestone for a crucial moment in machinima's history. Reading it back now, it's humiliating to see how many of his predictions were right on the money (especially since I seem to recall arguing voraciously with him over some of them!). @FLeeF - Heck, no.

Being the noob that I am, I never knew Hugh wrote articles; thought Johnnie was the pen man of the dynamic duo, but Hugh spills a pretty mean ink stick as well. That truly was an eloquent M.Com blogger's swan song. Thanks for the reprint, Phil!

Confusing to say the least. Thanks for re-publishing this essay. It's a tribute to Hugh (who's one of our best filmmakers and "thinkers" on machinima) and to you, too, Phil, since you are the one who is thinking about his last essay and then putting it up here. The fact that the past (machinima's past) matters to you is so important. And, yes, Hugh's comments are prophetic and idiosyncratic and personal and cool and, well, that's Hugh; accepting change and moving on.
