I have Joveth to thank for the blog's swinging success in recent years. Because of him, some of my posts have been featured over at Capcom Unity, front page. Further, Joveth is also responsible for past giveaways such as Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 download codes. Oh, and the mastermind behind last year's wicked April Fool's joke.
Joveth is THE Mega Man guy at Capcom US. He's an avid fan of the series and it truly shows. His genuine passion for the Blue Bomber has led to all kinds of opportunities -- in fact, we may have him to thank for the likes of Mega Man Legends 3.
So here's to you, friend. Thank you so very very much for all your support over these last few years. It's been an excellent journey, and I wish you all the best for whatever life has in store for you. Keep in touch!

ReplyDeleteThis cannot be!
ReplyDeleteTo Texas, huh? Looks like I can finally get those megaman secrets out of him..
ReplyDeleteJOVETH IF YOU'RE READING THIS I AM COMING AFTER YOU. I WILL SCOUR DALLAS, AUSTIN, SAN AN, WACO, FORT WORTH, AND ALL THE PLACES YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE AT. WHEREVER A LOCAL BAND IS PLAYING BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'RE COOL ENOUGH TO HOLD INSTRUMENTS, WHEREVER A KEGGER IS HELD OR A JOINT IS LIT, I'LL EXPECT YOU TO BE THERE. And I will find you.
You have been warned...
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU...
ReplyDeleteThe Moblin's Mega Man 9 and 10 secrets? Are they even real?
ReplyDeleteSad news indeed. Each time something like this happens, in my mind it's a blow to the Mega Man franchise as a whole. I hope we can get things back on track soon. :/
ReplyDeleteOh god damn it. Capcom's falling apart. :(
ReplyDeleteAw, he will be missed. Joveth was the one person we could always count on to be on our side within Capcom.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you wherever your travels take you, Joveth!
So I guess this: http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2011/03/31/lets_celebrate_ten_years_of_battle_network:_send_us_your_questions
ReplyDeleteWill never be answered....
Bah, that's too bad. Why would anyone leave an awesome job like that at Capcom? I'd love to be in his role.
ReplyDeleteI met Joveth twice, at PAX in 2009 and 2010. He's a great guy, and he remembered me the second year. Great with people (as you'd expect from a community leader). As I saw more of him though, it seemed like he was getting a little jaded, probably from annoying fans - which you can't blame cause there are so many idiots. Still.. I've never seen Seth irritated like that, for example.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I really wish he wasn't leaving, but oh well. Hope he does well. And that we get someone even better to take his place at Unity.

ReplyDeleteYou make it seem like these guys leaving is a bad thing. There's only so far any person can stick with one company - especially if you're a key player in it. Fuck my dad wouldn't be where he was if he stuck around at his very first job, and now he's raking in the moolah. Change is the best thing that could happen to Gonzo, to everyone who left capcom.
Also, Protodude, Was that MM10 and MM9 secret thing ever solved?
ilikemudkips:
ReplyDeleteBoth secrets continue to remain shrouded in mystery.
Ho ho, Texas, eh?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the greatest state, jgonzo!
...STEER CLEAR OF EAST AND WEST TEXAS!!!
Although with a video game background, he's probably in Austin.
Protodude, Think you can ask jgonzo what the secrets were? Since he's leaving, He wont have a chance to say what they are, right? And its been at the back of my mind forever, along with quite a few others.
ReplyDelete@ Protodude
ReplyDeleteNot for long.
If it's true that he's going to Austin, I live very, very close by. I also have connections. Keeping it weird in Austin, ya know? ;)
Always for the money, right?
ReplyDeleteDoes he look badass in that hat or what?
ReplyDeleteI've lived here for years... What's in Texas?

ReplyDeleteIn Austin? Hippies, Hipsters, 6th Street, badass food, SxSW, outdoor yoga, amazing night life, music everywhere, the list goes on.
