I think SEGA's best selling game last year was Rome II: Total War.
What a weird fucking company they are now.

You mean the same company that put out Space Channel 5?
Haha, yeah, that was awesome

Wait, I just found out that space channel 5 is on steam.
That I apparently own already.
This is like the most I've ever felt that my Steam life is spiraling out of control.

I am so confused by the greenscreen set up in the Rock Band QL.

You'd think that michael jackson would be into watching underage people dance.
I know, I'm not used to seeing Sega putting out weird Japanese games.

Austin can handle a solo stream. theres a video on the site with step by step details on how to turn the steam on.
im okay with that. the text was unreadable so i really didn't enjoy it that much
Dan looks like a tiny drummer dude. Holy shit, amazing.

and Danielle Riendeau just moved to NYC, a major loss for the main Idle Thumbs podcast. She would fit right in like a power glove
You're unreadable.

Tricky cutting a wrestling promo on Dan after conquering Dan's stage.
This has to be an angle that gets resolved at the next PAX wrestling thing.

Hopefully, GBeast can get content out of that.
Danielle's got the Idle Weekends podcast coming up, so she's already claimed a podcast home.
They can totally make this a panel. Dan creates an uploadable level within a certain time and Patrick has to beat it.

yeah but that's because she doesn't do a work podcast for polygon. what if she started at GBEast though? She's done a ton of video content on her own, has a great sense of humor, and can box.
clearly this is some Cara level of wishful hiring but man she would fit so well with those guys.
The Rock Band QL was very entertaining. Turns out Drew can actually sing pretty damn well (though obviously he doesn't have the vocal resources of Mr. Shoemaker - but then who does?) - is there anything that man CANNOT do? And Jason was having a lot of fun as well in his typical manner. 
As for the game, I dunno.. When it was announced, my plan was to get an Xbox One (I'm a PS4 owner) just to be able to carry all my old DLC and on-disc exports forward. But as launch has drawn closer and closer, I've just felt myself going lukewarm on the prospect of simply more Rock Band. Also, from checking into the RB4 GAF thread around launch, it seems that this launch is a bit of a mess with DLC export problems and instrument issues and bugs and just a general lack of features. I really hope RB4 does well and that Harmonix survives because they are a great studio (all the best to MadCatz as well..), but.. I just dunno, man.

she'd be a really great hire for BEAST at some point. she's doing video stuff for Polygon and she is great at podcasts, she's as qualified for giant bomb as you could get.
her and max scoville are my bets for future giant bomb hires. count on it.
max scoville? that would be awful. and i don't see danielle in the beastcast, i would hate that, she was terrible on idle thumbs

you're like opposite universe me!
i mean i can talk about metal gear instead
I think speculating is ridiculous. Barring somebody else leaving, I honestly don't see GB hiring anybody new until 2017.

I look forward to the announcement that she is joining a VR company.

she saved that podcast. Everyone else was busy with work (nick with Telltale, Shawn/Jake/Chris with Firewatch) and no one was playing a fucking thing. the conversation would digress into design and mechanic choices that they would argue about from games they hadn't even touched, so not only were they getting too meta for their own good but it would often be uninformed, too.
She salvaged that thing with her energy and, well, the fact that she actually played games. I fear for them now, because right before she joined i had almost given up on the podcast
hey, you never know. It was near the end of last year that the Patrick leaving news hit and that felt completely random and out of nowhere. plus, i'd rather we do this than talk about what will be #1 in GOTY again for the umpteenth time this month
That's honestly less played out than this discussion.
It's going to be hard to still call it a video gaming podcast without her

Haven't GB always posted when they're actively hiring? I seriously doubt they're out looking to add another member to GBEast so soon after Austin...
And publishers. Jeff said pretty recently on Tumblr that they're not hiring. Tina is probably gonna work for a publisher like everyone else.

i hear community management is a growing field!
I'm actually applying for those jobs atm.
Spoiler: They're not going to hire her. They're not going to hire anybody.
It's not the Whiskey Media days. They're part of a large corporation. When there's an opening, it will be obvious, and it will be posted online.

Please just stop with the "who's the next hire" thing. It's kind of sad.

Especially when we all know that Max Caravella is the next GBEast hire.
