Quite interesting, does this mean he will have a complete job at IGN, maybe even as a reviewer? Or just part of the podcast show from now on?

Here's the official link

Especially considering the locking of the topic about all the people besides Heath who died today due to the fact that those people weren't famous enough.

TC, you are delusional. He is not joining IGN. There is a blog which I found through Kotaku, on 1up.

http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=8587828&publicUserId=4561231

"So what happens now? What happens with Jeff, Alex, and Provo? Well, Alex is apparently going to take it easy for a while, but still do some writing for some sites (he's also posted some great stuff on his personal blog). Provo's written more game reviews than just about anyone else in the industry, so I'd expect he'll have no problem doing the same elsewhere, should he choose to. As for Jeff, word on the street is that he's teaming with GameSpot founder Vince Broady (who recently left Yahoo) to build a new game site to "take on GameSpot." Now that would be interesting, would it?"

CANT WAIT! GOING TO BE LIKE OLD TIMES AFTER THAT IM DEF NOT EVEN GOING TO LOOK AT GAMESPOT, and most likely Alex will go there as well, and some others from Gamespot I'm guessing....

The idea of Jeff leaving GS to go to IGN is the very definition of "Out of the frying pan, into the fire." I can't think of two gaming sites less respected by gamers.

Duxup, I know your admin and all, but would you leave Gamespot for the new one that Jeff and other founder of Gamespot are going to make? I'm sure you love free perks of being admin, but just a question.

I'm not an Admin, I don't work for Gamespot (no pay or employment), I have nothing to do with advertising or editorial or any such content at ALL. I've never even met in person anyone associated with Gamespot. I'm just another user given some extra tools to enforce the ToS.

Admins and mods are the same thing. BUT! Yes I said but, as MOD you get free premium account, which is nice.

Admins and mods are different. An admin is in charge of a forum, has full administrative rights.. gives powers to mods etc.

Mods are those that inforce the rules, can lock, delete topics etc.

Mods are just users as I describe. The admins are employed by GS and frankly do a lot more than we do.

Anyway if Jeff fired up a site with Vince as there is the rumor suggests I would be sure to check it out.

Can we freaking move on?

Those are my thoughts... though in a more... family friendly tone.

You know, before listening to that podcast, I probably would be telling you how much IGN sucks right now. But after listening to the podcast, I have a new respect for IGN.

BTW, you can find Jeff's experience at the IGN building here

Nice find. I've been reading IGN for a while now, ever since Kasavin left and I really like the coverage and the people that work there. Lots of personalities.
