That's what he's done up until this point. But he'll be on the Beastcast as a regular, in QLs etc. I trust Vinny/Jeff on this one.

Hope it's not a Klepek situation and there're three GB locations again.

In the podcast he says he just needs to finish his dissertation and that he is doing it on weekends. He's probably moving to New York.
The open position made it clear that it was a New York based job.
I'm guessing he's either already moved or in the process of moving. He'll definitely be working out of the New York office.

Based on the Beastcast as well as his writing it seems like he's a great pick.
It's gonna work out fine, Dan gets along with everyone.
Didn't Dave play Dwarf Fortress? I could have sworn I saw a premium video of him playing it.

That's the amazing Austin Walker. He's great because, no matter the debate, he can view it from both sides at once.

Dan probably goes quiet and checks his phone until the topic goes away from all this "fancy smartsy stuff" and comes back to the new lineup of Taco Bell, bad 90s movies or whether eating bugs is gross.
Oh, I know it'll be fine. I'm more just perplexed what sort of conversation that'll end up being.

He's done some Gamespot reviews right? I remember reading his Project Cars (well listening to Danny read it in a video) review a couple weeks ago.
There were 1 or 2 episodes of Dave trying to learn Dwarf Fortress but it never went beyond that. Was a shame because I liked that feature.

Read some of his stuff. Sounds like a good dude. I hope he takes down his patreon now that he's no longer freelance.

A POC and an academic? Very cool. The Canadian part spoils it a bit tho :/

Do you guys think him not being white will be enough to satisfy Giant Bomb's critics, or is it the fact that he's a man that is the problem in their eyes ?
He might have trouble seeing 3D though.

You're right, he's done a few:

Wow, great news!
It's not like a terribly shocking score for the game though, though of course some people will enjoy it more.
It's nice to have another writer on board again, Alex can relax a little now.

It was going to come uninvited anyway, and I tried to get people to stop talking about that subject once because it was unpleasant and I got warned by a mod to not do that. :/
