It's very hard for him to be the glue in something when he's not onsite. Giant Bomb is so dependent on its interpersonal stuff like Quick Looks, Unprofessional Fridays, Mailbags, Podcasts. He can't be the lynchpin of the site when he's not involved in any of that stuff.He is the glue that holds everything together and prevents the site from going adrift. The website would probably just be another game journalism website without him. He has ALWAYS made the right decisions when it comes to the site.
So now the website might as well just be a youtube channel then right?

I'm sorry he's leaving, but the site will go on. I also don't think he's a particularly skilled writer. At least not as good as Brad or Jeff.
And that would be different if it weren't for Jeff. We don't need a thousand sites dedicated to gaming news.Just another game journalism site? Patrick is the only one that reports on news.
I was talking about Jeff in response to the person that was saying they couldn't stand Jeff.

A little bit, yeah. You've been missing out.Is it sad I have no idea who he is?
Listing to the final Scoops and the Wolf I think Patrick made a great point in how one of his goals was to introduce new faces on the site (like Cara) through the show. I really hope somebody else steps up to do that now outside of their trade show content, luckily Alex sounded pretty inspired to do so.

I liked that he was willing to specifically go out and try stuff out of his comfort zone, especially since Brad and Jeff seemed to be doing the exact opposite this year.
I wonder where he's going now, as I can't see him having the same freedom he had at GB anywhere else.
He's the single biggest reason I don't follow the site.
Where is that looping video of Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Patrick and Drew? That one is hilarious.

he's the best interviewer on the site and is the one closest to what a real journalist actually is. he reminds me of ganespot's ricardo torres.
no bad exagerrated unfunny jokes, no wwe crap.
all the others always go, "it's terrible." patrick always makes sure he gets his point across in an articulate manner as to how and why how he hates the game.
now we're left with talks of beer and other stupid, more unfunny stuff. i guess people dig that kind of bad humour.
Hope they go for a more diverse replacement, if they actually do replace him.
As soon as I heard he was leaving that's what I thought aboutOh shit here we go again. Fill that quota, GB

What do you do for work now?
So now the website might as well just be a youtube channel then right?
Maybe now they can start taking themselves less seriously.
I guess someone could have hired him to work remotely for another site, but if he's still just going to be working remotely, why even bother leaving?
Err.. Are you saying Giant Bomb, the site known for stupid shit, where the most recent video with Patrick was him trying to make a sequel to the movie Evil Bong 3-D, is taking itself too serious?
I find this reaction rather crass. There are gaps in perspectives at Giant Bomb and a more diverse replacement would be a good thing for the crew.Oh shit here we go again. Fill that quota, GB
