John Drake, the Diet Coke powered hype man for Harmonix, announced today that he is gone from Harmonix.

Wow.

WHAT?????

hope he ends up somewhere great then. :(

Woah. Where's he gonna end up? Hope the best for him.

Truly heartbreaking.

((not really I wish all the best to him on whatever he wants to tackle next))

lets start the drake at giant bomb rumours now.

As hard as leaving something you love sounds, his traveling sounded exhausting.
Hope you land on your feet duder! :)

Huh. I'm sure he'll end up somewhere rad, that guy seems way to talented not to.

Really shocked by this. I hope he finds an awesome gig.

Super sad to hear that, hopefully we'll still see plenty of him. That job did sound like it was going to kill him eventually.

So is this a "Fuck Harmonix" situation or a "Drake gotta be Drake" situation?

I can't imagine John Tiberius Drake anywhere else though..

"Local man arrested for stealing Diet Cokes from company vending machine"

I hope he gets hired by activision to pimp a new Guitar Hero.

Good luck to the dude. If I'm being selfish I really hope he hops over to the games coverage side of the industry. For me he was easily one of the most insightful and perceptive people on the whole during his appearances on GB's E3 streams.

His Tumblr post clearly states that he is looking for a job.

But seriously, what happened? Well, all the best to him and hopefully this just means we'll see more of him.

This year's Disney Infinity E3 Giant Bomb interview got him fired.

Let's go ahead and keep all discussion of this to this thread here. Thanks.
