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

I miss Alexis so much man lol.

 

[so1337]

I'm all for this new hire but not if it means Brad is getting fired.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I knew fuck all about him before today, but he's clearly a good writer, and i'm sure he'll be a great fit out there in New York. (downloading beastcast now)

 

[ScaryShark]

Welcome, Austin!

 

[BennyBlanco]

I hope they hire based bakalar too.

 

[Visualante2]

Oh. So that's what the beast cast is.

Neat. Glad to see the site grow a little.

 

[D4Danger]

He seemed cool on the beastcast. Look forward to hearing some more.

keep Jeff "Don't call it a comeback" Bakalar and that's a solid podcast

 

[buffelo]

Cool. Now they just need to steal Danny and Mary from Gamespot.

 

[Kahjah]

Super excited about Austin coming to GBEast, I may come back now that he's here. I do wonder how the community will react if he does a piece on inequality or race. That will be an interesting day both here and in the GB forums.

 

[Htown]

Dan's a published author, you jerks! Austin might have book smarts, but don't count out Dan's street smarts!

I think Dan's more about Street Sharks than street smarts.

 

[Mechazawa]

E3's gonna be funky this year. New hire thrown in the deep end as soon as he's hired along with Dan/Jason's first GB E3.

 

[Cookie Dough]

He made a pretty good first impression on the Beastcast. Sounds like they made a good choice.

Should be a fun one.


And Its not like they hired a bunch of kesslers. Dan, Jason and new kid have been around the block.

 

[Tagyhag]

Well at least they won't be running from conference to conference so it should be less hectic.

Infinite Kesslers.

 

[Dragon Puncher]

He might still be sent out to the show floor during some of the conferences. They have 8 people now, even with Drew/Jason in the control room that seems like a lot of people to have commenting over a conference.

 

[Infinite Justice]

He's already made a penchant of using the word "like" in every sentence so he fits right in already

Seriously though welcome to the fold and hope you have a nice time.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Sounds like a reason to check out giant bomb

Really enjoyed Austin on the Beastcast. One of the best guests in a while. Welcome to GB mister Walker.

 

[Poyunch]

I miss Alexis so much man lol.

Oh my god. I didn't know this happened. Why? ;A;

 

[Kusagari]

The four man group in this latest episode was pretty much perfect.

Hope other Jeff can keep coming on.

 

[Myggen]

Oh my god. I didn't know this happened. Why? ;A;

He's working as a designer over at Twitch now.

Yeah. if one or two of them are interested in going to the conferences and doing all that stuff they're probably free to do it. Still, I think they were 6 people(?) commenting over the Ubisoft conference last E3 when Drake was on, and that worked out alright.

Spoiler

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

 

[h#shdem0n]

I feel cool/validated for actually following him on Twitter before.

Really good move on GB's part. Dude is talented as fuck.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

I really need to finish Beastcast now. Looks like a great addition though and it feels better knowing that GB is solidifying in the east.

 

[Chris Murphy]

Edit: Actually never mind. I don't want to bring up bridges that have been re-built.

Not heard of Austin but I'm sure GB guys made a good hire... they have a knack for it.

No doubt it would still be great, but I can see it being pretty hard for Austin as the new guy to join in a lot on the commentary, when you have 6 other guys that are pretty great at doing that stuff already. I kinda hope they send him + Drew/Jason with a camera out to do some interviews or find some of the more obscure games.

 

[Ominym]

Had no idea who he was until the Beastcast. Seems like a cool dude, looking forward to his contribution to the team.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

His Twitter name is a wrestling reference.

Excellent.

 

[Anjin M]

Austin seems like a good dude. I can't wait to see what he brings to the site.

I think Dan's more about Street Sharks than street smarts.

Does Air Force Gator have Street Sharks? And if not, why not?

He's the new hire, he'll be there with the rest of them. It's kind of trial by fire, sure, but I think the 2014 GOTY podcasts showed that they don't want to do weird group fracturing stuff if they can avoid it.

Is this some back handed racist shit? WTF!

 

[robotrock]

No, that's Guy Austin Walker

 

[Suplexer]

Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I'm super excited for the new guy to start joining in on content. Here's hoping he's funny, and not just smart.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Well... at least he has good taste, judging from his GotY stuff last year. Dwarf Fortress is the most legit pick any of the GB crew have ever made for GotY. Hopefully he can stand up to Brad's tyranny and get the good stuff winning awards, retroactively even.

I look forward to a new era of goodness.

 

[GoonerTRON]

No, that's Guy Austin Walker

Why is this funny?

 

[robotrock]

Hillarious..........................................

I don't know what to tell you

 

[Dizzy-4U]

He'll side with Brad for House of Wolves dlc of the year.

 

[Anjin M]

When I look up Guy Austin Walker on google images, Dan's photo is the sixth result. I don't know what's going on.

 

[GoonerTRON]

I don't know what to tell you

Black man in mugshot has same name as new black hire for Giant Bomb?

This is truly the highest form of comedy, congratulations!

 

[LurkerPrime]

No, that's Guy Austin Walker

This is now Guy Austin Walker.

He's on the latest Giant Beastcast, and he's also been in a bunch of videos on the Steamfriends Youtube channel.

Thanks, I was just going to edit that I looked him up. I like that he has eclectic taste.

I guess reading the thread to understand the joke is too much to ask for, huh.

Jeez.

 

[GoonerTRON]

Not getting worked up, more just rolling my eyes.

 

[solokazama]

[TalonJH]

I like him even more now. He Favorited my congrats tweet.
