Dear Canada,

We've been together for twenty-seven years, but now it's time for me to move on. I'll miss a lot about you: your coffee, sort of free but wildly misunderstood healthcare system, and even the snow. I'll miss walking into a room and knowing in my heart that at least 84% of the people inside know exactly how to make a poutine, what a double-double consists of, and understands the philosophy behind the line-change icing rule. Good luck with your upcoming election and I'll see you again soon.

Love, Xav

• Garnett Lee: I’ll be back to transcribing interviews over the weekend but when time allows I hope to finish up Portal 2 single-player and get in some Mortal Kombat.

• Alice O'Connor: [Did someone say 'Royal Wedding'?]

• Xav de Matos: 3DS on the plane. Landing in LA. Get settled. Go to work. Never talk or think about moving ever again.

• Jeff Mattas: Now that I’m done with Portal 2’s single-player, it’s on to co-op! If I have extra time, it’ll be spent trying to finish Crysis 2 and Motorstorm: Apocalypse.

• Steve Watts: I just wrapped up Portal 2's single-player, so now it's time to try out some of the developer commentary. I also might be getting an iPhone, which I will celebrate with apps. As one does.

• Ozzie Mejia: Thinking with portals all weekend.
