If you're following Doug Tabacco through Twitter, you will have probably noticed these recent tweets:
Last day at Telltale and I'm running late. Woo!

Man, goodbye lunch was epic... about half the company flooded the Depot. Nice day for the patio, too.

opendns.com - it's goodbye video games for now :)
Since nothing has been formally announced here, I thought I'd make this thread where we can wish Doug a farewell and good luck with his next job. Here's to Mr. Tabacco, we'll miss you!

    What?! People are actually allowed to leave Telltale?! Does not compute... :)

    Please don't leave, you share my love for Muppets! I hope your new job is as amazing as I assume it is.

    I propose we henceforth retire the use of any and all Sam the Eagle icons on the Telltale forums! It only seems appropriate.

    Joking of course, (well, mostly ;)), but I'll certainly miss seeing you around here too, Tabacco. Godspeed, good sir!

    His account was not deleted:). In fact, he's still in the Telltale team social group. Your only allowed there if you work for telltale. He doesnt have the Telltale Symbol next to him though.

    You were always kind of the third PR-guy along with the webmastering part. Man did you do an awesome job. I'm glad you're around at adventuregamers.com more now, tho. Best in luck with the new project, though I doubt you'll need any luck - there's hardly ever been a hitch in anything you've been responsible of.

    Man, Telltale has some big shoes to fill here. I'm glad Jake is still around. :)
