Somebody let Patrick back in, so we finally have a full crew on the mics to discuss breaking up with systems and how those break ups take shape. While we discuss systems we might be leaving behind for the moment, remember that we could "You had me at hello" any of these systems back into our gaming lives for a romantic reconciliation.
