hella bullets that's true
This is going to be a Jeff Gerstmann-esque scandal for IGN.
EDIT: maybe not.

I hope he's successful wherever he decides to go. Personally I'd be bailing out of IGN, too, if I worked there.
I think he would do better in designing games with his brother at WayForward than he would in the press. He knows his shit when it comes to game design if his input to podcasts is anything to go by.

He should go to Giant Bomb with the rest of the bears.
They could attract a whole new demographic. :lol

Best to Bozon, he was the best of what was left at IGN (not saying much). With Dunham leaving, and Matty Cass possibly following(?), IGN has really gone down the crapper in the last year or 2. Unfortunately, IGN readers are now stuck with tools like Greg Miller and Ryan Clements, who think they actually make great points with their "editiorials" and "perspectives".
Matt and Bozon were the only saving grace of IGN Wii really. I had a feeling this was going to happen once we saw what happened with Matt leaving his role. Kinda sad but I haven't really gone to that site in over a year anyway due to not using my Wii for just about the same length in time.

So you'd be happier if Nintendo just made exact replicas of their N64 games instead of trying new things with their franchises, then?squicken said:

Ugh, Matt is one of the worst writers journalists I've read in such an esteemed position at a popular. Bozon (and some others at IGN) are much better IMO. As somebody who started this gen with a Wii due to its low price, I was always quite annoyed by Matt's constant presence when I visited IGN.

So you just wanted to drop in, question the validity of other people's opinions, and then decline to hear any refutations or defend your own. Good one "I guess".squicken said:

Yeah, because TP was so drastically different from OoT.
Anyway, not surprised that Bozon is leaving IGN.
I would too, personally, especially from the Nintendo section.
I honestly don't see how he can stand having Hatesfild just barge in all the time, spewing his anti-Nintendo rhetoric.

IGN is like wrestling now. The Wii team is in the middle of a huge heel turn.
Personally, I think all the self-importance is hilarious.

I remember speaking with Mark a few years back on the phone. Just randomly called him at his IGN office one day to discuss a few things. He seems like a good guy. Hopefully he moves to a good site, now.

C'mon. I'm sure the mods would oblige considering the circumstances. How about Doritos_Lover, or Bozon-notIGN?Bozon-IGN said:
Well damn.
I basically stopped going to IGN after I joined GAF, but I still went there because I enjoyed the podcast a lot when it was matt and mark and craig. Once they stopped being on the podcast, I stopped visiting the site completely.
I hope he ends up somewhere good, I always thought he seemed like a nice guy.
And, meh, I always thought he was funny.

didn't they essentially remake their biggest N64 game with Twilight Princess, surpass their highest rated N64 game with Galaxy, and make a sequel to their most fan-requested N64 game with Sin & Punishment?squicken said:
Oh wait
I forgot you didn't want to argue about it right after you made an assertion which apparently no one can call you out on.

Oh my God this thread is gold.
First off, enough about the "token fluffy" as if there needs to be just one. We're all the fat ones. Gamers are born fat, naked and alone, and that's how they die.
But yeah, I'm moving to another place, so I'll ping the mods once that kicks off.
Ya know what... I always dug you guys. GAF Scoop: I'm starting my own business.

Years of playing Nintendo games have given Bozon an intense attraction to small children.

IGN is unrecognizable to me now. Does anyone from the old days still write for the site?

Bozon didn't hate on Nintendo nearly as much as Gerstmann.
