Looks like it

or GB is going for a long con LOL

So, will we have to soon refer to him as Dr. Walker? Seriously though, that's pretty awesome for him.

I liked Technobabylon until that giant, poorly drawn anime face came up.

Closed the game and uninstalled it right then and there.

Man, that art is pretty bad

It's... kind of the point?

Yeah, that's some cool shit isn't it?

Assuming he passes dissertation of course.

 

[Anjin M]

Finally caught up and have a chance to jump back into the thread. Let's break out the bullet points.

• Austin is a great choice for the news job. He seems like the anti-Dan. I can't wait to see them all together at E3.
• I'm so glad this new hire junk is over. All that joking around got real tiresome, didn't it?
• Thanks, EmCee and Myggen, for the new thread title. Nice choice!
• Beastcast continues to be great. I'm glad that it differentiates sufficiently from the Bombcast. It's almost like the return of Bombin' The AM.

Doctor Tracksuit will hunt him down if he finds out about this.

Absolutely.

With Brad leaving, we really have bigger concerns right now.

 

[LegoArmo]

I like Austin on the Beast Cast. first I've heard of him, I think.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Someone ask Austin how he feels about Chie

Austin's well-learned and not stupid.
So he prefers Naoto.

 

[kingocfs]

I really like Jeff on the Beastcast, and Austin seems like a nice guy too. Pretty exciting.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

He obviously likes Risette.

Dr. Tracksuit and Dr. Walker tag-team!

Absolutely.

With Brad leaving, we really have bigger concerns right now.

Brad has been dragging it out for so long. It's almost like he doesn't want to go.

I like Austin on the Beast Cast. first I've heard of him, I think.

Yeah, he seems like a good dude. I haven't read nearly as much of his stuff as I probably should have. I think all I've really looked at was his Top Ten list and the Project CARS review. They were both really good, at least.

Yo, Austin. You have a GAF account? Get in here and say hi!

 

[The Dear Leader]

Austin seems like a cool dude, any word on when his first video appearence will be?

Confirmation Confirmed by the Department of Redundancy Department.

 

[ScottSullivan]

Dan's trap story on the bombcast almost sounds fake lol. Like something out of a cartoon

 

[Anjin M]

I'm hoping sooner rather than later. I imagine that the Beast team would want to do something with him next week.

dat Gilford Godfried impression, holy crap

I was listening to the cast at work and had to stifle a laugh at that. I love it when Alex really goes at something like that. It's a good reminder that there is more to his personality than that cynical front he puts up.

These are such exciting days for Giant Bomb. Ever since Dan and Jason joined, things have been getting better and better.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Alright, I got the 15th off for E3. Can't wait for this year's GB Talks Over Press Conferences.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I really wanted that girl that flirts with Drew to join them. For some reason her name escapes me.

Alexis is a guy.

So good

E3?

Cool, I was kind of hoping for a super secret surprise UPF showing, hopefully we get a GBeast live something next week. Really excited that they have a third person, can't wait for them to start pumping out more stuff!

[Megasoum]

So do we know his Gaf account yet? Or if he even has one?

 

[neshcom]

I know!

This blew my 13 year old mind. Austin's Race in Animal Crossing story really called this to mind and then of course just as I'm reading through that and listening to the beastcast he makes mention of it.

Thanks for the find. Dude's got a way with storytelling.

 

[shadyspace]

To be clear, Austin did not write that essay.

Oh, my bad. I hadn't gotten to that point in the Beastcast and misread the original post.

How long before we're allowed to ask for a new Endurance Run?

edit://
I'm going to refer to Austin as New Patrick from now on.

Who will be the new hire at Kotaku, after all the editors at Gawker are collectively fired next week?

[Data West]

Alex Navarro drastically overestimates local mom and pop game store trade in values

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Playing splatoon. First match was fun as fuck, but I got a connection error right when the match ended when the tape was over the screen so... Nothing for me =/

 

[bigwinnerx]

Austin said he's from Jersey but born in PA and has referenced Randall Cunningham. I know sportsball isn't big with GB, but, if that means the possibility of Philly sports fan, we can cry in our misery together.

[Data West]

Is it weird that Alex mentioning Animal Crossing makes me more interested in Splatoon?

 

[jgminto]

I like that Austin's sudden announcement was more confusing than the elaborate troll Dan attempted with his.
