Semi-regular it seems. Austin is the third chair and from what Vinny said in the mic check they want a rotating fourth chair with Jeff B as the most recurring guest.

Ah, so just the usual then.

How does this prevent him from being a regular if there's a fourth chair ?

I don't know if it's possible for them but if it is they should totally just go for a 5 person podcast.

Most likely has a lot of CNet stuff going on that could get in the way from time to time. Or they could just want a different fourth chair from time to time to not occupy too much of his time.

So.... What games does the new kid like?
His writing seems good but haven't a clue on his tastes.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Pretty sure it's not a joke.
Although he still has his Patreon thingy pinned on Twitter.

I got notifications on my phone that all the GB people started following him. It's for real. The wait is over!

see but then you missed the part where he says he's on the team in the very first tweet you linked

No, you don't get it. Right now, they are three on the Beastcast: Vinny, Alex and Austin. If Vinny wants a fourth guest every now and then, no one needs to go. It's why it's called a fourth chair, instead of a third.

Titanfall was his 3rd? Sweet.

E3 this year is gonna be real interesting. Super happy they got Austin aboard before then

Guess I missunderstood. You mean Austin won't be on it all the time? I was thinking you meant Jeff B.
Jimmyfenix

did anyone take up Patryn on his bet that they would not announce the new hire until after E3?
TheMrPliskin
Member
Yeah, all the extra streams as well as all the new guys means that it should be a great E3 for Giantbomb content.

Titanfall was a god damn blast, it just really needed a campaign to diversify the applications of the moveset. Imagine the setpieces you could have with jetpacks and wallrunning. Having all of that cool shit be in service of winning multiplayer matches and nothing else is a huge disappointment.

Yeah they mentioned on the new Beastcast he'll be there. E3 coverage could be the best ever this year with the variety of voices and talent they have.
I think he just took it down. And he linked to what he said was his final Patreon piece, so he'll likely be closing it soon.

The giantbomb forums haven't even got a thread about the new hire yet.
I made no such bet.
I just was really emphatic that it wouldn't happen.
Then again I also said that the Witcher 3 was going to get like no coverage, so what the fuck do I know?
Seriously: If I say something in this thread, expect the exact opposite. I'm at like .000 this year.
