He has betrayed Nintendo for Apple. Since Bozon already left, we can finally do a complete block on IGN and all of its content.

THIS IS THE NEW BEGINNING.

NO MORE ICARUS.

Did Mattacagamahaa;lktjahsasssasmassa have an affair with an Apple employee this time?

3rd Parties might come back to Nintendo.

Yay.

I think Bozon's at EGM/EGMi, and I've always thought he was not a troll unlike Matt.

Well IGN Nintendo has gone downhill in the past year. They need to get a new Nintendo staff.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #6 on:** April 24, 2010, 02:31:22 AM »

Really, they should get Billy F'n Berghammer to step in. He can troll Nintendo almost as well as Cassamassina did.

I'd like to point out to IGN that if they're willing to pay me for it, I'll troll whoever they want. I'm for sale.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2010, 01:53:57 PM »

He will forever live on in the hearts of us all.

I was glad when Bozon left, he was just a mockingbird with no personality and nothing to add, other than constant lame fart jokes only he thought were funny. Matt was great during the N64 era, as I followed N64.com. But it was obvious the past few years that he did not want to cover Nintendo anymore, so I'm glad he's found a new job. And as and owner of the iPhone, I couldn't be happier that he will be leading a team to clean up the mess that is the iPhone Game App Store. Its no easy task, but I'm curious to see what the store looks like over the next 24 months.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Seriously, I was wondering what happened to him.

Guess I'm the minority here....wait that's not a joke...

..anyway, I like the the crew they have now, the Craigwaaaaay's are cool and Spikin' the mic's! thing is hilarious....to me. Oh and the "KIDS" thing doesn't bother me, I know who they mean.

Ya, the Voice Chat podcast is much better now. Bozon and Matt just hated to be there and it dragged the show. Craig n the new guys have a LOT more enthusiasm.

I personally think that anyone bothered by the kids comment is exactly who they are referring to when they use the term 'KIDS'.

I've always liked Craig, and I think the new crew is pretty funny, too. If you go back and listen to the NVC podcasts in 2008 and 2009, it always sounded like Matt and Bozon were just bored; I think Scott even mentioned it on one episode of the podcast. I wish Matt and Bozon well in their new jobs, but it did sound like it was time for them to move on.

The new crews' informal retrospective on the N64, (episode 64, of course) was great.

(use extreeeeemely monotone voices)[Bozon] What it is, welcome to Episode 64... [Matt]...that sounds familiar.... anyway, I was playn' my 360 right......

People still visit IGN?

People actually watch videos with gaming journalists in them?

I haven't bothered with them since they did that voicecast or whatever that they did several months back.

Stratos · « **Reply #19 on:** April 28, 2010, 02:25:17 PM »

What do you mean by voice cast? What turned you off specifically?

...Well... you know how Fox News is Horse $#!+ most of the time.... but sometimes you still have to check the propaganda machine to remind you why you form your own opinions and trust those who don't have a gaming money hat...

Sorry I meant whatever they called their podcast.
As far as specifics I ask that you read page 30 of The Pathetic State of the Gaming Media topic.It is on Page 2 in General Gaming. To elaborate more they basically troll for hits, have no journalistic integrity, they remind me of the lowest of the low forum members on the internet(not anyone here).

Though I should apparently hate IGN bc they're popular I follow the site bc I like a lot of their staff. They're also down to Earth unlike some other media outlets who give off a vibe of elitism, like Joystiq, Edge, the old 1up, and even Giant Bomb at times.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #23 on:** April 28, 2010, 05:34:12 PM »

Joystiq: "take us serious, we am serious journalistz"
Edge: "Videogames are art, Edge is art, my toenails are art, you lower beings"
old 1up: "Videogames need to be more like hardcorez hollywood blockbusters, then We can be paparazzi and party hard."
Giant Bomb: "Junk food! Extreme video gamez! We are cool!"

Exactly.

I actually find the podcast for NWR and Gamescoop from IGN to have a similar vibe. The hosts all get along great, crack lots of jokes, and just want to have fun with games. I hate Fox as much as the next guy, but IGN is a diamond in the rough. Especially with Greg Miller.

I should elaborate on Giant Bomb, I enjoy their show too, most of the elitism comes from Ryan Davis. I also like Invisible Walls at times, b/c they're grumpy like me. Infendo also used to be good. 2 years ago. Then the show died.
