Adam Boyes enters the Lang Zone

Cool, good to know Lang is getting to focus more on the actual making of shit.

What is going on?! This is awesome.

Next thing we know Johnny V becomes a producer at IG.

what the what

Awwwweeesssoooome! This could be a great mix of people that turns out amazing games.

That's great news, it's funny that they're back together again. I wonder if Johnny V got approached with the same deal.

"She will work Boyes, scaling the operation as he delivers new opportunities and growth."

“I couldn’t think of a single person in the world to take us to the next level.”

Wow, this can only end in greatness!

So Johnny's gonna be VP?

I feel that this outcome was pretty obvious. Once he left Sony, I had a feeling Iron Galaxy was the destination. Then Jeff tried to get Lang to break the news on the podcast. Glad to see Iron Galaxy doing well enough that they can hire a real suit.

Lang can focus on monetizing teens

Wow that's great - Congrats to Adam!! Of course, the triad will only be complete if Johnny V joins the ranks.

Personally, I'm still holding out for a Johnny V USA roadtrip adventure.

"As my first act as company CEO I'm officially announcing the hiring of a one John Vignocchi who will be in charge of what I'm calling codename: Midway."

Still all the best and I'm glad its working out well for both Dave and Adan.

No fucking way.

Edit: this photo:

Finally, Dave Lang can head the Sega Saturn development branch like he's always wanted.

Seriously, congrats to Adam, and I'm excited that he's on board with one of my favorite studios!

Oh come on...

Guys I'm scared.

Well now i have to redirect my arkham knight complaint mail ... :-(

Wait what.

This will hopefully lead to good things...

In other news, Iron Galaxy will now be officially re-branding as Midway.

Finally. Windjammers 2 will be a PS4 exclusive and I guess Vita as well since they port those. Also, what happened to the Winnebago tour? :(

Honestly never saw this coming. Seems awesome! Congrats to Adam!

Awesome news. Now we just need to get Johnny V on board.

♫ The Boyes is back in town. ?

Guess who just got back today
That wild-eyed Boyes that had been away
Hadn't changed, hadn't much to say
But, man, I still think that cat's crazy

The Boyes is back in town
(I said) The Boyes is back in town
The Boyes is back in town
The Boyes is back in town

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
That autocorrect wasn't your fault, forget her

The Boyes is back in town
(I said) The Boyes is back in town
The Boyes is back in town
The Boyes is back in town

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town

You spread the word around

Friday night, they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Tuman’s Tap & Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if Lang wants to fight, you better let him

That jukebox in the corner blastin' out Johnny's favourite song
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that The Boyes is here again

The Boyes is back in town
(I said) The Boyes is back in town
The Boyes is back in town
The Boyes is back in town

Spread the word around!

In the event Boyes reads this: Hey I played Paragon with you a ways back and we got our asses kicked by bots.

You're pretty rad. Good luck with everything!

That's what I'm screaming. COMPLETE THE CIRCLE

We can expect more nacho cheese fountain over at iron galaxy then

The real question is: what does this mean for the final segment at E3 2017?

The fiction demanded it.

Guys, you're missing the other part of this news: Chelsea Blasko moved OUT of a Producer role. Seems like there's a Johnny V-shaped hole in the company currently...

Finally the full force of Dave Lang's expertise can be put to advancing strategies to monetize teens.

@conmulligan: There's a severe lack of bling going on in this picture.

This is the only way this could've ended.

This sounds like a sitcom in the making.

YOU FOOLS! THIS IS HOW THE DESTROYER ENTERS OUR REALM!

@xenolon: BOP

You know, I can totally see Johnny V inadvertently summoning the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

In case anyone was curious about Lang's new title since CEO and CPO are both now being used, he posted this on Twitter earlier.

@starvinggamer: I would have thought he would be the CEO of Pound Town.

Fuck yes. Please be on the Bombcast soon to announce hiring Johnny.

So Windjammers confirmed?

So when does CBS buy Iron Galaxy so we finally merge everyone who's ever been on a GB livestream into an Akira-like abomination

Perfect.

Ho-lee-sheet. I rushed over here as soon as I heard. Best time to be playing games, my friends.

Oh my god! This is just like that one time [person] left [company] to go work for [another company] that had ties to [company's rival]!!

I look forward to seeing Adam onstage at the MS press conference next year to announce KI2, and the first guest character, other Battletoad.

@kanerobot: Or a hot new port!!!

TFW you realize its Meme Monday

Where JV at!?

Johnny V needs to get on board. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

Glad that he found work.
