from Alex's twitter:
 
"So for those keeping score, yes, today is my last day at Harmonix. No, this is not a layoff thing, so bloggers holster your guns." 
 
and also
 
"It is super surreal and deeply sad to leave this wonderful place, but things await me elsewhere that I am supremely excited about." 
 
So, even tho it wont happen because the guys have said many times they want to keep a small operation, how awesome would it be if he would to "return home"? :D

The stuff Alex has helped work on at Harmonix has been awesome and it's good to hear that he has a promising future ahead of him.

Having him back on the real Hotspot would be awesome.

While it would be cool, I like his occasional appearances on the Bombcast where he can talk about what he's been up to in the gaming industry.

He should work for GB 
/thread 

That stinks for him, I  hope he finds work fast.

" He should work for GB /thread  "

I can't wait to see what's next. I'd personally love to see him come back into the spotlight of gaming journalism, be it Giant Bomb related or otherwise. Hell, it's be cool to see him join the Area 5 guys and help out with Co-Op.

"He should work for GB /thread  "

Well, best of luck to him in his future endeavors, then. Wonder what those plans of his are.

Im pretty sure the GB offices is well open for him.

I seriously doubt he's moving back to the press side unfortunately.  Good luck to him wherever he goes.

I loved Alex at Gamespot but can you imagine him bringing his music snobbery here?  Oh i shudder to think.
 
What did he do there anyway?  Seemed weird and felt he didn't actually have a part in making the game.  Just going around marketing it at the most and moderating stuff at the least.

Good luck to the man. It'll be interesting to see what he comes up with in the future.

Looking forward to his next projects. 
 
Best of luck to him.

I'm calling it: Alex is joining Rich and Ben at 38 Studios to make Copernicus, which will soon be revealed to be the epic Time Trotters MMO we've all been waiting for.

Best of luck to Mr. Navarro. I hope he ends up here, but if he doesn't I'll be fine.

Alex on the bombcast would make my head explode with joy.

Alex to Giant Bomb. 
 
make it happen.

" I'm calling it: Alex is joining Rich and Ben at 38 Studios to make Copernicus, which will soon be revealed to be the epic Time Trotters MMO we've all been waiting for. "

For whatever Alex does, I wish him the best of luck.

I would literally kill someone to get Mr Navarro back with Jeff & the gang. Alex or Rich Gallup rejoining would make me eternally happy.

I never followed GameSpot back in the day, so I haven't seen much about Mr. Navarro, but I certainly hope things turn out well for him wherever he goes.  
 
And not that I have any say in the matter (nor should I), but I like GB the way it is today. Any further additions seem unnecessary. 

Best of luck, Mr. Big Rigs guy.

" He should work for GB /thread  "

Of course we would like him to join GB, but the dude obviously has something else setup already. Maybe an actual development job?

Awesome guy. my friend used to work with him.  
 
Good luck to whatever he does next. Would be nice to see him as a guest on the bombcast again. been a few years now.

I don't think he'd fit in Giant Bomb. He's too zany :/
 
Hope he gets somewhere really awesome. Sounds like he did. I'm guessin he's doing PR somewhere else, or a similar thing in the music industry, pfffff I dunno.

Crap, that's a bummer. Hopefully he finds some work

Good luck to Alex!
 
I'm curious to see what his next project is.

Well, it's sounding like he already got something else lined up, and this was totally his choice to jet.  Maybe he's going to be the new drummer for Metallica, and they can finally be rid of that asshat Lars!!! 
 
Alex, make my dreams come true, bro!

Goddamn it people! You made me believe it was Alex Rigopolus that was leaving Harmonix!

Well I hope home means here.

I doubt he would go to GB but it would be sweet if he did.

Alex! (AKA: El Vampiro Junior!)
 
I just saw this thread and somehow missed it on my twitter window. Aleeeeeex! Go do great things!

I WANT MORE VITRIOLIC DIATRIBE BY ALEX NAVARRO! MAKE IT HAPPEN GB MAKE IT HAPPEN. 
 
His reviews were awesome. 
 
dealing with Robocop is still awesome, 

Hmm, Alex wasn't at Harmonix for very long, was he?  I wonder what's he's going to do next.

It would be very awesome if he went on to work for GB.

it would be epic if he did join the bomb get a new  guy on the bombcast
