He was great on the beastcast, can't wait to see more of him.
I'm pretty sure he and Dan are like an antimatter-type situation. They can't ever be allowed to touch or the universe explodes.

Weird I didn't realize I was on 4chan
I too get angry and post when someone's tastes differ from my own! OUTRAGE!
Never heard of Austin before this so I'm looking forward to seeing him in some content. Gonna have to listen to the Beastcast here soon. Stoked they finally announced the new hire.

Aw shit, someone call the opinion police.
listening to the beastcast now, austin walker seems like a perfect add. his thoughts on nintendo and the controller experimentation was a perfect response to the nintendo 'criticism' from jeff bakalar. i italicize because that guy had some disregard/ignorance for the company's positives and what they do right.
as you respond in the most neogaf way

He justifies almost everything pretty well. No everybody has the same taste on games.

Titanfall is one of the few things right about it.
Anyway, his Code Name: STEAM is only the second worse one I've read lol.

I kind of like the idea of GB East being the interesting intellectual side and GB Prime being the interesting trashy side.

Austin almost has a PhD, and Dan can almost spell it.

I think it's a great list. Consider your opinion canceled out and officially crossed off of the Universal Ledger of Human Thought.
You will receive a confirmation email shortly.

I agree. Besides titanfall those games all look like a really crappy top 10 list.

Cool. I dislike his line of reasoning in the Code Name S.T.E.A.M. review on Gamespot (and I think he missed the context of how it has two historical modes, one we view through Milton and the other via battle maps), but he's a talented writer otherwise.
The best part of this video is at 1:03 when Alexis rolls his eyes at Rorie's reaction. The guy making these videos is a genius.
Titanfall is the only game on that list I've ever heard a negative opinion about.
Before I even clicked on the thread I figured there'd be people taking shots at Patrick. I'll never understand why people can't like one thing without dumping on another.
Anyway, new hire and new podcast. Gbeast is really becoming "a thing". Not familiar with Austin but I had also never heard of Dan+Jason so I'm sure hes a great fit.

Probably not in a good while. But they're planning on keeping The Beastcast as a four person podcast with Vinny, Alex and Austin as regulars, and a rotating fourth chair with Jeff Bakalar as the most recurring guest.
wow this video is one of the best edits i've ever seen. holy shit. this kind of changed my life.
laughed so much i teared up.

Listening to the BeastCast, he sounds like a guy that would be a great researcher and informative. I feel like he is in graduate mode in terms of how he talks/acts. Just wait till he gets hit by the grind of production.

Fuck hahah
Sorry man but it's time for Austin G:16.
Which streets are those? The harsh streets of Kansas?
That's great too. Like Weekend Confirmed then.
I've been reading through Austin Walker's previous work, and I think I might be in love with this man. I'm now super excited for the Beastcast, and for the going ons at GB East in general. Vinny + Alex have been able to carry much on their own, but the addition of Austin should round out the crew beautifully.
Dan sealed the Bombcast's place in my weekly rotation, and I expect Austin to do the same for the Beastcast. As a bonus, that also means more Vinny in my life, so I'm generally pretty pumped with the direction GB has been going in over recent times.
Also, thanks to Walker, I've picked up Fantasy Life and am now installing Dwarf Fortress. Let the honeymoon phase begin.

Awesome. I still have to listen to the first episode of the BEASTcast, but I did a quick Google search for this man who, I admit, did not know about. He looks like a perfect fit for GBEAST: young, smart, able to provide a new perspective, and pursuing a PhD. He's like the Xavier Woods of video gaming.
