To be honest, the first I heard of you was in today's VentureBeat story about you and GameBeat. It intrigued me enough to check out this blog (great final post) and attempt to view your new website (not yet up apparently).

Congratulations on taking that next step, from what I've read, that step was your first of many more successes to come.

Take care,

Chris Hopf

N'Gai I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do next. I'm glad that your editor then sent you on the fateful tour of the video games industry. If not, how would I have been able to enjoy your intelligent and insightful commentary about my favorite past time. Again good luck and I'm hope you're happy with whatever you do!

I suspect you're right, there's a lot of potential to help devs and pubs find the right path in a changing (and increasingly so!) market. Regardless, I'll miss your voice in the mix, N'Gai! But best of luck in the new gig.

I'm looking forward to checking out your new site, although it doesn't seem to be up yet. Best of luck with this new direction and I think you've done a great job with your current gig.

Welcome to the development side of the fence! Of course, I'm desperately going to miss your voice keeping us in line. I suspect you will quickly kick some ass. I think you should show that Shawn Elliott what a real journalist turned developer can do! ;P You've been a powerful force for games journalism and we'll all miss that, but best of luck!

Congrats, N'gai! Though you are the key reason I subscribe to Newsweek, I can't help but wish you all the best as you follow your passion. I know you'll be successful and will bring the same insight and personality to the vendor side that you have provided from the editorial community.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I know that ngaicroal.com is not live yet, but I'll get the word out when it's ready for primetime. Some additional responses.

@ChrisHopf: Now that you've heard of me, I can leave my post satisfied! Seriously, though, VentureBeat is a great site that reaches an influential audience, and I appreciate you dropping by to comment.

@PotatoHead: I'm glad that my editor let me go on that tour as well. I've covered a lot of stuff at Newsweek, but the videogame beat was in many ways a personal favorite.

@chrisgrant: You'll still get to hear my voice at those NYC eatups you mentioned on Twitter. Can't wait.

@perrinbar: Shawn Elliott is a tough act to follow, first as a journalist and surely as a developer. Fingers crossed.

It will be a good day when gamers are forced to pick a dictionary up in order to understand the eloquence in one of your games :-P

Good luck, few game journalists ever achieve the kind of respect you have!

N'Gai, I may not have always agreed with your words, but they always made me think. Good luck down the road.
