I'm just putting this out there, Danny got married and now Dan is leaving?

Or maybe Gal Gun scared Dan so he can no longer enjoy working with Jeff.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

i am your god now

 

[Odrion]

he'd be a bad fit in GBEast and he's not the person you want to hire to fill in the void Austin Walker left

also doing that would still leave GBWest in a really really really poor state

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

GBeast certainly needs some revitalization, but I don't want it to be Dan. Dan's too intrinsic to the West site at this point, don't sap it of the last enthusiastic voice.

 

[Data West]

they probably should have never split giantbomb so vinny could live in new york in the first place :3

 

[Death Metalist]

I always save UPFs for Saturday but managed to see what the fuss is about on here after looking at twitter. That was incredible. Truly the Hideo Kojima of UPFs. Can't wait to watch it all tomorrow. Also, stop being blanks, y'all.

 

[broncobuster]

Don't know how well Dan meshes with GBeast. On the flip side it's an opportunity to freshen up GBwest.

Unfortunately, Dan's perfect partner in crime left a month ago.

GBeast aka The hair club for men.

 

[santeesioux]

I wonder what the dynamic of Demo Derby would be like without Dan? Would Brad or Jason be a good fit?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

GBeast aka The hair club for men.

Lol ice cold

 

[Fantastapotamus]

What if Vinny moves back to SF and he and Jeff immediately start an ER for that game you always wanted to see them playing and GBeast hires that person you always wanted to see at GB though?

GBEast needs a straight man. Brad and to some extent Drew do a good job of playing off of Jeff and Dan's over the top personalities and antics. I'm not sure GBeast has that person. On podcasts it feels like they are all turned to 11.

 

[Largo]

In retrospect, I liked that Dan grabbed a handful of Pogs to take with him, but didn't like that I saw Jason filming him as he left, because Jason doesn't teleport that we know of.

The excitement for anything wrestling related in the disc would most likely not be the same.

Hmmm you are right, maybe this isn't the worst thing...

 

[ThreePiMatt]

The idea of a Vinny/Austin Dragonball Xenoverse 2 video has been violently torn from my mind, a Vinny/Dan QL has potential to be something special.

 

[Rainmaker]

I love that Dan's computer was just on a bunch of pictures of Mantaur

But yeah, GB will be losing too much if Dan leaves GB West unless the new news person is immediately awesome like Austin was. Hopefully it's just the RV trip. I don't want to see Dan leave for good.

I'm really hoping this RV thing happens and Dan stays with GBwest. I love the content he puts out. And really there's no escape from Mario Party Party.

 

[Scizzy]

I really want to believe that Dan takes his Money in the Bank briefcase with him to and from work everyday like a real business person.

 

[Tubobutts]

What if Vinny moves back to SF and he and Jeff immediately start an ER for that game you always wanted to see them playing and GBeast hires that person you always wanted to see at GB though?

Vinny goes back west, Dan goes East, Austin is rehired but this time on the West coast. GBWest is amazing and GBEast is an Alex and Dan wrestling nightmare.

 

[hamchan]

In retrospect, I liked that Dan grabbed a handful of Pogs to take with him, but didn't like that I saw Jason filming him as he left, because Jason doesn't teleport that we know of.

Jason was so excited that after UPF he waited outside the CBSi building to mock Dan one final time by filming him leaving.

 

[FHIZ]

Unfortunately, Dan's perfect partner in crime left a month ago.

Dan being the replacement for Austin is the biggest heel move of the century.

Yeah, totally happening.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Imagine the wackiest Vinny Alex Jeff B shtick and Dan sitting there like "What the hell is happening?"

Do not want.

 

[daxy]

Vinny goes back west, Dan goes East, Austin is rehired but this time on the West coast. GBWest is amazing and GBEast is an Alex and Dan wrestling nightmare.

Oh and GB West hires a robot to do all the video stuff so both Jason and Drew always have screen time.

 

[Scizzy]

Imagine the wackiest Vinny Alex Jeff B shtick and Dan sitting there like "What the hell is happening?"

Do not want.

Yeah, this would be my fear.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Maybe Sony hires Dan now that Adam left and after Drake can leave the psychiatric ward he joins GB North, a new GB office?

 

[Tagyhag]

I have no clue what's going on, that's what I get for being at work.

But if Dan really is leaving, it'll be a shame, he brought a lot of energy into GBWest.

If he goes to GBEast, it'll be neat, but he won't fill the hole that Austin left. It'd be like trying to fill a triangle hole with a circle.

And if he does, no more Mario Parties except for when they do PAX. :[

 

[NightOnyx]

Yeah, I like East feeling different then West. Austin brought a unique view and taste of games that meshed well with Alex and Vinny. I am a big Dan fan, but his type of content works better with West. Speaking of which, I think Dan deserves a lot of praise for how much content he has created for West, and how many different series he's done. So I definitely dont want him switching coast, but I'd totally be down for a RV trip though.

 

[Data West]

GB needs an interim-Dan. Of the Irish variety.

Imagine the wackiest Vinny Alex Jeff B shtick and Dan sitting there like "What the hell is happening?"

Do not want.

I'm ok with Dan echoing my sentiments.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

No idea what you guys are talking about, Dan and Austin are basically the same person.

Paul Ryckert is replacing Dan at GBWest, you heard it here first


But seriously oh god what does this mean for Mario Party Party

 

[Rainmaker]

The RV RV.

I... would be ok with this.

I don't think West needs freshen up, but that's just my opinion. All the on going series are fantastic, most of which involve Dan. East obviously needs someone else, but I dont think moving Dan over is the best solution.

 

[Curufinwe]

But Drew and Dan never got to play Metal Gear Rising!

Probably for the best. Drew would have been stuck for hours on the first boss, while Dan gave him bad advice about what to do in between fretting over whether he should help at all.

Up, Up and away!

 

[Myggen]

Has anything been confirmed either way? Wasn't able to watch UPF. On the subreddit the mods are teasing that Dan's AMA next Tuesday is related to this.

Agreed, especially because then someone would still have to go to GBWest.

Nope.

No confirmations of anything. Run GFB hint at the end of today's UPF video. The AMA is on /r/GiantBomb?

No more Demo Derby with Dan.

I hate it when they leave us hanging like this lol.

At least with Austin it was like a quick band-aid!

 

[Myggen]

Yes.

We'll see I guess. Exciting/scary times.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yes.

Cool, hopefully I'll be able to get a question answered.

 

[CB3]

Im sure this "storyline" is well-intentioned but Austin leaving is probably still too raw for this to be as exciting as it might normally be otherwise.

 

[Salty Catfish]

We'll see you next week!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

We'll see you next week!

that's because of Jeff being on the IGN podcast that just dropped, not teasing stuff
