aww. It will be ok. No I don't think Glitch is returning, but perhaps something wonderful, and inspired by the Glitch spirit will be.
Who knows.
The Giants can rest/ er... unrest assured that someone ... somewhere has been Glitchified for life and will use some of the lessons learned to create something frigging AWESOME.
My whole family will miss the wonderful and quirky imaginings of the Giants, but my 5-year old offered this consolation after I told him that Glitch wouldn't be back:
/pensively
"Hmmm, well then when I become an adult, I'll make Glitch again so we won't miss it any more. And maybe people will be readier [sic] then to understand and play the game so it won't go away again."
...the seeds of inspiration sown.
Thank you Stoot and company for an amazing experience!!!

I'm still clicking my bookmark to glitch.com 5-10 times/day. It's a habit, and I will probably continue to do so until it shuts down completely. *sadface*
I actually thought it would be easier once it had closed, as it wasn't as if I played every day. While the game was still open every time I went in it felt sad and somewhat pointless. Now, too late, I realise the point was that I needed to play while I still had the chance. Unfortunately I was in denial....
Now that it's closed it's so much worse - I can't deny it any more.
For the past two nights, I've dreamed that the Giants were talking to me. I kept trying to follow them to where they were taking me -- a realm where Glitch is real, and it would never have to go away. I keep having to fight terrible things and people to get there, but I am seemingly never able to arrive.
The weather in Pittsburgh has been gloomy lately. These dreams are only succeeding in making the mornings grayer and colder.
