Haha that's pretty good.

 

[AuthenticM]

Austin will be missed.

 

[Zaph]

Just remembered that I never watched the Until Dawn playthrough. Well.

It's such a bummer because they were FINALLY starting to hit a stride in terms of content coverage, and a steady flow of video content across the week from both offices.

In a way, there's always going to be some type of disruption going on at Giant Bomb. I think it's just the price you pay when the thing you enjoy is based on the efforts of a very small group of people who don't have complete control of their situation.

But I suppose it beats wondering all the time if this is the month GB can't pay its hosting bill and folds.

 

[Scizzy]

Content that Austin must have return cameos for:

Project BEAST
Destiny raid streams
Life Is Strange follow-ups
All Beastcasts
Everything (sob)

He'll return as much as Dave and Patrick did

so like maybe once every three years

 

[Hugstable]

Having just started following Giant Bomb content just a few months ago, I will definitely miss Austin. Wish him the best success in his next job.

Last nights post Weed3 stream was the greatest thing. So much hilarious moments and emotions in 1 stream

[Lonestar]

Well, it was a good year, but only a year.

Hopefully the next person is better, if you can find such a person. Austin was a good "straight-man" to Vinny's "creative sauce" and Alex's "je ne sais quoi" and hopefully, so will the next person.

 

[Jeffrey]

long streams is a lot to ask for, but him popping back occasionally in other stuff isn't too out of the question, especially if he's not relocating.

 

[MadLaughter]

Between school, work, commute, his podcast and a bunch of other things I don't even know about, he seems infinitely busy. His time will probably only lessen as he gets more responsibilities at a new job. He's mentioned to people on twitter fairly often that he's got almost zero time as it is.

I'm sure he'll do what he can and what makes sense, but I'm keeping my expectations preeetty low. He's gotta do what he's gotta do.

 

[KingKong]

Really shocked that Austin would leave before Vinny completes his VinnyVania quest

 

[Brinbe]

Season finale ending on a downer, dang.

 

[Hagi]

Really shocked that Austin would leave before Vinny completes his VinnyVania quest

Shit I never even thought of that. Never going to see him, Vinny and Alex go through Symphony of the Night. Ending on one of the worst games is sad.

 

[avengers23]

The dark middle chapter in the Giant Bomb trilogy.

 

[Jeffrey]

So i'm guessing the whole 'freelancing' articles piece of GB is dead with Austin gone?


seemed like a full time job vetting people and articles.

 

[Salty Catfish]

The dark middle chapter in the Giant Bomb trilogy.

Not dark, just tan.

 

[MadLaughter]

FUCK. Didn't even think of that.

Powerbombcast, "VINNY!", Dan's food gag, his RP sessions with Vinny, the Fiasco game during Christmas Beastcast, Contradiction, that poster, Gunpla, Meme Mondays, Build Club...

 

[Felix Lighter]

Really shocked that Austin would leave before Vinny completes his VinnyVania quest

Remember that time when he turned on the beacon light when they only defeated a mini-boss? Now you know why he's "accepting a better opportunity". Vinny runs a tight ship.

 

[petethepanda]

It's simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking to see how much JV wants to make sure his whole team lands on their feet. He really seems like a great dude.

 

[SirClinksAlot]

Damn, I didn't watch the show last night so I was really bummed when I got on twitter this morning and saw the news. He, Vinny, and Alex had such great chemistry together. Can't believe he's leaving. But, Im sure he's moving on to something great so good for him!

 

[jaina]

Happy for Austin, bummed for everyone else.
Zaph is right that there'll always be disruptions. But as Jeff said, he wants people to come better out of it than they went in, which has been working. And that applies to us viewers as well, I feel a lot better with the memories (e.g. of content with Austin).

Because Austin is still part of the GB family, I assume gunpla stays on-topic?
Great E3 and I haven't even watched most of the evening interviews yet.

 

[Baloonatic]

Really gonna miss Austin in video stuff. Hope he comes in for that Gundam quicklook, they imported that new game I think?

 

[hamchan]

Now whenever Vinny does something dumb I'll always expect the Austin "VINNY!" that will never come.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Great OP.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Feels good to be back in community

But Austin

 

[DrFunk]

Man it's sad to see Austin go. Hoping the best for him.

 

[strafer]

So will they do a UPF today?

 

[Zaph]

 

[MG310]

It will never top Jenga but Johnny V's wedding reception exit was the 2nd best green room content.

 

[TharpDaddy]

So will they do a UPF today?

No way. Will their studio equipment even arrive today?

 

[Weetrick]

So will they do a UPF today?

They all deserve a vacation.

 

[Scizzy]

I have faith he'll be back every couple months. It's his job to feed Alex's cats when he's out of town, after all.

 

[MassiveNights]

Boy am I glad the Giant Bomb thread is off the main page again.

 

[LucidMomentum]

I'm gonna do it guys.

I'm finally gonna do it.

Been a free GB consumer for about a year, but after this E3 it's been so magical I just want the premium experience.

Dropping down for a year next paycheck.

Where do I start?

Myggen won't be able to quote his post from last thread, but here you go.
I suggest the LEGO Island UPF.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Hmm, this makes me think it's more something completely new than getting a gig somewhere else.

 

[Scizzy]

One of the great tragedies of Austin's departure is that he was on the verge of making "Welcome to Dedsec Motherfucker!" a classic catchphrase.

 

[MassiveNights]

Hmm, this makes me think it's more something completely new than getting a gig somewhere else.

That Glixel start up seems like the most obvious destination right now.

I imagine he is getting a pretty senior gig there.

 

[TraBuch]

What word is Glixel combining pixel with?

 

[bigwinnerx]

Gwent

One of the best series on the site and perhaps the best series of GBeast content.

Contradiction

First two videos are free and the last two are premium.

 

[SeanR1221]

Austin will be missed but it's exciting for him if he's moving on to something to further his career.

I just did this last weekend after being free for a year. Get your t shirt, and hop in on the premium suggestions 🙌🏻

glum

as in "i'm glum as fuck that austin's leaving"

I am so ready.

 

[Salarians]

It's probably for the best that Stormare wasn't present for cumslut.

 

[Zaph]

That feeling when you realise Dan and Austin will probably never watch another press conference together

 

[Scizzy]

Just realized the bait and switch they pulled with the Giant Thronescast. They recorded the first episode KNOWING Austin wouldn't be around for the second or the third or the fiftieth. Bastards.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Good thing they killed it this year.
