I cannot confirm that James is in fact a brony. I cannot confirm that MyGaming reviewers are paid in Crocs. Furthermore, I cannot confirm that the forum is owned, administrated, and monitored by a group of Internet-savvy cats. I guess some mysteries are better left unsolved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59338\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/James-choking-Jeremy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59338\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59338\" alt=\"No photoshopping whatsoever\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/James-choking-Jeremy.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-59338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No photoshopping whatsoever<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In all seriousness though, it\u2019s been really awesome being part of MyGaming over the last year and a half, seeing the site grow and evolve, and the community expand and diversify.<\/p>\n<p>My <del>slavery<\/del>\u00a0term comes to a close at the end of October, so I&#8217;ll be around for a few more weeks, holding James as he cries into his hands from all the mean <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/33343-Thread-Killer-Mk-VII\/page699\" target=\"_blank\">photoshops of him<\/a><\/strong> in the forum.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you guys and girls for all your comments, feedback, and participation throughout my time here, and continued support of the site and the local gaming community as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Sayonara, bitches.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
