Dan on the live Bombcast is amazing. Please let them not acknowledge UPF, please.

Saw Dan tweeted someone telling them he had to take himself off his next advertised wrestling show.

 

[kingocfs]

wait what

 

[ThreePiMatt]

The fact that he's doing an AMA does concern me that he's leaving altogether and not going Beast. He mentioned writing a biography, and I wonder if he's leaving to dedicate himself to that.

I hate uncertainty.

I really think he's moving East.

 

[santeesioux]

I bought an Xbox One S today. So I am basically Dan.

I've been trying to come up with any kind of flimsy excuse to buy one of those because they're so cool looking, but I know outside of playing the Halo games it would just sit there and collect dust since I have a PC.

 

[Fried Food]

I think Dan might actually be leaving SF. I keep coming back to the fact that his Mom was there last UPF

 

[justjim89]

Dan leaving the site completely would be the worst possible thing for Giant Bomb. I'm scared that's an actual possibility now. That aside, a move to GBEast seems a very likely scenario.

Fuck, I hate this uncertainty.

And NY just shits on high on SF and he's lucky in that he's with a woman who is from NJ and there's an office for the organization you love working for out there. If I was in his shoes I wouldn't even have to think about it.

Dan had his mom come all the way from Kansas to help him move?

 

[GustyGardens]

He's definitely not leaving the company. I'm on the team that believes he's going to the east coast.

But what if I think Dan leaving SF for NY isn't much better?

 

[Ashby]

Maybe she wanted to see San Francisco before she would lose a good excuse to visit.

 

[santeesioux]

Losing both Austin AND Dan in this short amount of time would almost kill the site. The new hires would have to be home runs.

 

[Scizzy]

As long as the site has Jeff or Brad in SF and Vinny in NY, it will be great. It has been great for years and it will be for the foreseeable future. Losing Austin sucked and losing Dan would suck (I don't think he's leaving, regardless), but the site will be fine.

 

[justjim89]

I find myself kinda agreeing with you. I'd love to see more Dan and Vinny or Dan driving Alex insane or Dan and Bakalar on the BEastcast, but he gels so well with the West Coast crew. Plus there's Hitdan, Demo Derby, whatever they do next with Dan and Drew. Maybe it's the manchild afraid of change in me, but I'd rather see him stay in SF than go to NY.

But hey, it's his life and he's gotta do him.

There was a good long stretch of time before Dan's hiring that I could tell you nothing interesting about.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I mean, you're partly wrong because then East will be unstoppable. Dan/Vinny is the true godlike combo.

But I sort of agree because some of the best shit West has done has been entirely because of Dan.

 

[Meguro]

Y'all need to calm down.
We'll know soon enough.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Looking at the PSN releases, it looks like Gal Gun has a demo on PS4 (and possibly Vita).

Also, the PS+ games are up. Can't wait to try Rebel Galaxy and Tricky Towers.

Oh dude this is wicked calm compared to that period of time when the new hire speculation (pre-Austin) was going.

 

[Twin Tails]

Dan is leaving because he can't talk about wrestling on the bombcast.

 

[CrazyDude]

Alex and Dan would be a good dynamic as well.

 

[Data West]

Better for East, worse for West.


Dan's the only person besides Jason that I think Jeff plays off well. Not to mention how much content Dan drives. Where as of Jeff, Drew, Brad, and Jason. Jeff and Jason(with streams) are the only people I can think of that drive content at all. And they're very sparse with it.

 

[Lunar FC]

I need stabilty in my life and gb never gives me that.

 

[Meguro]

Dan leaving SF would be a huge hit to West but maybe it'd actually force the other guys to drive some features of their own again.
For premium stuff they've heavily leaned on Dan, some might even say too much.

Dan was the exact thing the West Coast crew needed for a bunch of reasons, and I don't want to worry about what it'll be like if you all of a sudden remove him from that picture.

But yeah, at the end of the day, it's up to him what he does with his life, and we can only complain about it.

Spoiler

And by that, I mean speculate and very likely look stupid by the end of this week.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Brad would join Demo Derby

I'd be ok with that.

 

[neshcom]

I'm all for whatever works out best in life for Dan, but I really like his dynamic in SF. However the current duder lineup turns out, I'd like to see more new blood in both offices.

 

[Scizzy]

The months before Dan was hired had Breaking Brad: Demon Souls!

My statement stands.

Happy to finally check out Rebel Galaxy.

Spoiler

Also had the Japanese GalGun demo for many months but never played it

Im just saying this is a work for something. Dan and Johnny V on a roadtrip on Dan's vacation time or something. Dan trying to survive watching V drinking caffeine, V trying to survive Dan.

 

[BearPawB]

Anyone assuming this is anything other than the RV thing is out of their mind

He's not moving east.
He's not leaving GB.

He's going to make a live streaming series with Johnny V where they go around in an RV visiting development studios.

Why else would he be doing an AMA?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

The karmic justice perpetuated as a result of the "Brad is leaving" meme continues.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Why else would he be doing an AMA?

Because he's cancelling Giant Bomb!

I don't think Johnny V has even left Disney yet. They are still shutting down.

He is moving east.

 

[Hasney]

To protect the business, brother.

 

[TraBuch]

I don't get the Jeff reference in the topic title of the Suicide Squad review thread.

 

[BearPawB]

Also: why would he show up to the bombcast today?

 

[Data West]

he's a popular internet figure with a fan following

 

[BearPawB]

It's timed super specifically, and was planned further in advance than dan plans anything in his life

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

It's just a reference to the film's Rotten Tomatoes score. Kinda dumb.

 

[MassiveNights]

Also: why would he show up to the bombcast today?

To explain what's happening/Jeff is on holiday

 

[Hasney]

Also: why would he show up to the bombcast today?

Because the comissioner added the stipulation.

 

[BearPawB]

To explain what's happening

So if he's leaving, they do the whole bit with him walking out? Only for him to come back? Why not just save the bit for the bombcast.

Because Dan loves wrestling and Jeff likes live internet, it's a fun thing for subscribers

Because Dan loves wrestling and Jeff likes live internet

Bombcast is live internet

Jeff isn't there today
