Tales of Tyria #65: So Long and Thanks for all the Omnomberries

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce the end of Tales of Tyria.  I know a lot of people really enjoyed the show, and we are in no way ending due to 'low ratings.'  I go into more detail in the actual show, but the main reason is that I no longer have the passion for GW2 that I used to have.  I'm burnt out, and I want to do other things, but as long as I'm committed to producing ToT at a high quality level, I'm prevented from doing the things I want to do.  This results in a less happy Bridger and a poorer quality show.  So rather than let it drag on, I am going to end the show on a high note.  Join us as we talk about the new patch and reminisce about all the good times we had in Guild Wars 2.  Also note that we've got some new shows in the works, and we very well might return to GW2 in a less dedicated capacity.  Check the show for more details on that.
