Damn, good luck to ya Nick. You'll be sorely missed, even if we have to see your ugly mug at every show (basically when most of us get to see you anyways).
NICK ZOMG! WHAT THE HECK?! It's cool that you got a new gig and all, and doing what's best for your family, but there's no way it can be as cool as your time spent at Dtoid.
Ah well - Good luck bud, and thanks a TON for the farewell blog - you have no idea how much it means to long-timers like us, after people like Brad basically packed up and left in the middle of the night without so much as a goodbye.
In Dale we trust <3

I am very sad about this, but obviously incredibly happy that you've landed what looks set to be your absolutely perfect job.
Thank you for everything. Like it or not, you're a big part of the reason I am the writer that I am.
You shall be missed. <3

Totally bummed when I heard about this, but like Jim said, I think you've found the perfect job. You were and are still a big reason I do the stuff I do and I'll miss working in the same field. Have fun, brother!
Very excited for you and your new job... but very sad to see you leave :(
You've been great to me during my short time here, and I wish you and your family all the best!

Congratulations, Nick! It was great getting to speak with you at Destuctoid's meet-ups at GDC and PAX this past year. Good luck with your new job! That sounds fantastic!
Congratulations on the new job! Sad to see you leave Dtoid though, you were probably my favorite writer on the site. Good luck!
"as this month comes to a close, I will be putting my time with Destructoid behind me."
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
"On October 3, I'll step into the offices of Harmonix in Cambridge, MA where I've accepted a publicist position."
Oh, wow, that's actually very coo--
"I'll be passing my Editor-in-Chief hat to Dale North"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (no offense)
Ever since all these new punks(no offense ;D) started coming out of the woodwork, I've use you as an anchor--as a 'familiar face'--if you will and as someone who's genuinely a warm, welcome face(aside from Jonathan Holmes of course)!
So if you leave, you take a part of me with you!
:( bye :,(

Man...it sure is dusty in here *sniffles*

COOOOMMMEEEE BAAAACKKK! Don't leave us alone with Jim Sterling!!!!!!

Lemme get this straight. Nick gets a job with Harmonix. Burch gets a job with Gearbox. All that's left is for sterling to get a job with the Dynasty Warriors team and this Destructoid thing will officially be a gold mine for games industry job growth.
Good luck and god speed, sir.
Good luck and god speed, sir.
Congrats, Nick! It's sad to hear that you're leaving but on the plus side, you'll probably live no more than 10 minutes away from me :) Good Luck, man!
Awww....I'm so happy that you landed a job with Harmonix, but super sad to see you leave. You are an amazing EIC and a large part of why I got involved with this site in the first place. I <3 you lots!
God speed! You were the best boss ever, and always had a great way of dealing with issues and providing feedback where I needed it. Best of luck in Boston, I hear it's a wicked town.
But...but I haven’t made out with you yet!
Seriously, all my favourite game writers keep getting hired by game companies, I’m always happy for you of course, but it’s always a bit sad to see you go.
Good luck, man.

Wow, congrats man! Best of luck at Harmonix! Tell them more Meat Loaf and David Bowie tracks on Rock Band!
Goodbye Mr. Nick. We'll all miss you deeply but luckily it sounds as if you'll move onto a place that will be an absolute blast.
Good bye and Good luck sir.
Good bye and Good luck sir.
So, since you are joining the HMX crew, are you joining a pre-existing HMX band or are you starting a new group? If the latter, might I suggest the name The Chesterton Ghoulies.
Seriously, thank you for everything.
Seriously, thank you for everything.
Gonna miss you, dude. Considering you've been with the site since before I even joined up back in 2007, it's gonna be weird not seeing your writing on here anymore. Anyway, I'm sure we'll still run into each other at PAX events and whatnot. Congrats on the Harmonix gig!
You were always my favourite but it's good to hear you've landed the perfect job.
All the best Mr Brutal Chester. You will be missed <3
