Topic: The last time I'll do this

James, when you're President of NoE, would you give me a job? Maybe head video game tester, with a six-figure (American $$$) salary? At any rate, best wishes and Godspeed!

Well, nothing stops him from posting as a regular user, right?

Sonic reference? I ask because you both have the word "Sonic" in you username.

Yeah yeah we'll miss James. Let's drink wine and liquor to celebrate...er....mourn the occasion!

Before you go, I shall inflict vital memories of Nintendo in you FOREVER, to ensure you don't work for Sega.

Gonna miss seeing articles "by James Newton." Have fun at NOE, though, and drop by if you can sometime in the forums.

It's the main theme of Sonic Adventure, "Open Your Heart".

@SuperSonic95 Yes!

Thought I should say that finishing James' last article (Favorite NL Moments) and reading the comments made my eyes water.

Since we're doing Nintendolife remixes...

Hanging on the edge of Nintendolife. From the articles of yesterday. (Meh, can't think of anything for the other half of the chorus.).

WHO DO WE ASK NOW?? (I nominate @ThomasBW84)

@TinyOddy Same here. It really is very nice to see the members sending him off with their best wishes and such.

I'll miss you and your witty writing style, James. I first came to this site looking for a good review and one of yours was the first thing I read. It was because of you that I kept coming back to this site.

James has left the building (I think).

EDIT: Finished part 1 of the final episode. I'm going to listen to part 2 on my Kindle outside on my back patio while perfection BIT.TRIP RUNNER levels in SAGA, just in case anyone was wondering.

EDIT 2: I was able to get every bar of gold in Odyssey while listening. Nice. And the last Ask James was amazing, even if there weren't any spontaneous tears.

Goodbye James, now we need to update this:

SEGA turncoat James once pledged he’d never own a Nintendo console: now he edits an all-Nintendo site. While his 7-year old self weeps, the grown-up James plays Animal Crossing like it’s going out of fashion.

See ya James! Have a good one!

THIS is why the Hotseat should be revived.

Except that the Hotseat thread rapidly became a stupid mess of idiocy.

Nope. That thread has come and gone.

Did James happen to add anybody here on 3DS? Just wondering.

Good luck James! Cookies and cupcakes for all!
