She could just start Giant Bomb UK to talk about footy and crumpets and stuff! Also,Joel Freeland.
If Cara wants to teach me about crumpets, I'm ready to learn.

Better yet, some sort of anime only podcast dedicated to his watching experience, sponsored by Crunchyroll!

I foresee wig bowling in Cara Ellison's future.
Edit: Is it legal for cyborgs to wear wigs?

That's Zoe Quinn.
Jeff: Giant Bomb is an internationally registered private company. We don't need Congress. Gentlemen, I need Cara under our employ by six hours.
CBSi Suit: On whose authority?!
Jeff: ON MY AUTHORITY!

While I think Cara would be a great fit I don't really feel comfortable putting so much pressure on Jeff and co. on things that might be out of their control.
If it's not Cara there might be a pretty big shitstorm just due to how hyped up this is now.

WHY ARE YOU RUINING MY DREAMS!
I doubt it. Most people can probably appreciate the reality of immigration law.
If it's a white dude though? Shitstorm commence. I don't envy Jeff's position right now - especially considering 90%+ of the applicants probably fit into that demo.

I'm telling you guys, they should trade with Kotaku and get Evan Narissce. GB desperately needs a comic book guy.

This made me laugh more than it should.
Truth is there will be a shitstorm no matter who gets hired. Only thing left to find out is from which side the shitstorm will be coming.
You are not alone in that. Quality joke.
intoxication probably makes it better tbh

I was completely sober when I tried to watch it and I made it about 10 minutes. Take that however you want.
No, if they hire a woman or minority, the manbabies will cry that GB caved to political correctness. And if Jeff hires a white guy, the same thing will happen as last time: some people will say, "man, that's too bad - they missed an opportunity to improve the site by including more diversity" and the manbabies will cry that GB just hired the most deserving candidate and political correctness sucks and you're jerks for not seeing that. So I can safely predict exactly which direction the shitstorm will be coming from.
Jeff can share his disdain for Yoshi and Geoff can relate with his hatred of Pikachu.
You are a silly person.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible for Cara to be officially hired at GB. Maybe a premium freelancer at best.
We'll, consider yourself uninvited from my Mario Party Party Party 3 when it rolls around.
I am going to go all Dan here for a second:
Can someone explain visas to me?
I am assuming if she wanted to visit, it would be really easy and you don't need a visa?
Why is it difficult to get a visa? Isn't "i have a job here" a pretty good reason for our government to say come on in?
I get we can't just open the floodgates. But i don't understand why getting a visa for someone from the UK would be that difficult.

HR has the final say on hiring, for sure. Jeff seemed to indicate that much with one of his most recent Tumblr posts about the process.
There are different visas depending on what you want to do, and some are easier to get than others.
A tourist visa is usually quite easy to get, since countries are keen to promote tourism. In fact, as a resident of the UK, Cara could apply to get a visa waiver for 90 days, if all she wanted to do was visit the US.
But to work there long term, you need a work visa. Those are much harder to get.

Actually, what's Veronica Belmont up to these days? Why not hire her?

Mhm. Not to mention usually your company has to do the paperwork of getting you that VISA. And then it's tough. Usually they question the company asking why they want this specific person, what this person brings that no other legal resident can, there was a handy flowchart I saw once.
Here we go:

Gamespot UK sideloads her.
That sounds dirtier than it's mean to be. Eh, she'd appreciate it.

Just got back to school and played some mount your friends with a bunch of people over a few drinks. What a blast that game is. The only problem I found was that if people want to, you can literally make it impossible to get up the tower by reaching the horizontal limit and forming a wall there. You can't swing around people because the boundary stops you. It's kind of a bummer, but the problem is kind of fixed by switching spawns to random instead of alternating.
Definitely going to pick up a wireless xbox receiver so I can buy gang beasts and hook up a ton of controllers. Hopefully it's as big a hit as Mount was.
Anyone know of any other "pass the controller" style local multiplayer games? I asked people about Jackbox but they didn't seem super into the idea.
Edit: should specify pc games.

Thanks, that chart was super helpful.
Seems to me shes in that lower greenish yellowish section?..CBSI hopefully has the funds to pay for a visa, but even then they are super limited.
Yeah, that seems super unlikely. What a hellish process
OR, Jeff and Cara get married? (Sorry Jeff's GF)
Not sure it would be a great fit.
Anyway she's in San Francisco and her husband works in SF too.
ALL OF THEM
Though I recommend the one where they go on the school trip.
edit- Looks like episode 50.
So I'm watching a guy play Elite Dangerous on Twitch right now and he's using a voice command software that handle all the ship's navigation systems and answers back with R2-D2 noises. The robot also handles his radio (aka MP3 playlist). He went as far as adding a radio tuning sound effect that plays everytime he asks it to change the "station" to a new song. He has a shit ton of commands and answers setup from the tool. It really feels like he has a full fledged EDI/R2-D2 style AI copilot.
This is the coolest shit I have ever seen.

She is great on camera, but she's not a video games person (not in the same sense as the current slate of people and that Patrick was) and way more of a tech geek. Plus she already has a job
As much as I would love for Cara to join the GBEast office, I'm personally excited for a nobody that we don't even know.
I cant decide if i should buy this game. Like it looks AMAZING. But is there a good variety of things to do? Or do you just go around trading space junk?

Any good timestamp with him actually using that stuff?
No doubt. Based on how the goodbye Patrick thread went, I suspect it may be even worst this time around. That new hire has to be ready for an extreme degree of scrutiny and bunch of twitter/blog/forum discussion about how they dont deserve the job before they've even had a chance to prove themselves.
