He could be a reality show cake critic. He's got the chops.

 

[stump sock]

Can Rorie please confirm:

I'll vouch

 

[Data West]

I take as quick of showers as possible because I hate being in there


I must be uber popular

 

[Myggen]

 

[avengers23]

Maybe they draft Bakalar for the short term? Jeff sounded like he and the Beast crew were going to reconceptualize what they'll do to figure out what kind of manpower they need.

 

[Weetrick]

Dan is literally a shove away from loving anime already.

Don't think he will be playing crusader king 2 anytime soon though.

I would love to see Dan discover that he actually loves anime. I feel like he would go all in if it happened.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Can Rorie please confirm:

What if I have quick showers but then spend 30 minutes in the fetal position with a towel draped over me?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

can't believe that after dan ate a pickle and shattered into 10^27 crystalline shards they were able to resurrect him by placing the dust in a vat of nacho cheese

What about taking really long, but ice-cold showers?

 

[Myggen]

What science can do today!

 

[Guess Who]

it's like sleeping beauty but instead of kissing, jeff had to dip an oreo in dan's nacho cheese

there's probably a sex metaphor in there somewhere

I can barely wait until this thread devolves into the whole "new GB hire phase"

Anyway does anyone know where Adam Boyes got that PlayStation shirt he was wearing on the GB night show?

 

[Myggen]

I know that Glitches is looking forward to it at least.

 

[broncobuster]

Can Rorie please confirm:

How long is too long?

Typically it's 15 to 20 minute showers for me.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Farm Simulator is always tempting me.

How long is too long?

Typically it's 15 to 20 minute showers for me.

Are you ok? Do you need someone to talk to?

 

[Lunar FC]

If you need somebody to talk too I'm right here man

 

[Hot Coldman]

Austin leaving hurt me so much, the only thing I can do to feel better is bully Popplio some more.

Fucking ugly dog face rat. ;_;

 

[Glitchesarecool]

can't fuckin wait!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Soo... when did Noray get banned?

 

[broncobuster]

Dammit. All these years I thought it was about hygiene. Maybe I should finally try that jacuzzi tub my apartment came with to cope with this Austin news.

 

[jgminto]

Glad to see Austin is leaving for something worthwhile that'll challenge him. He's a super smart dude and I was hoping he wouldn't end up as another writer for a Kotaku or Polygon.

That, and Vice gaming isn't blocked at work like Giant Bomb, Polygon and Kotaku are!!!

 

[Bowlie]

Soo... when did Noray get banned?

At least weeks ago, Sleepy. He showed up in Synchtube during the E3 streams.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Oh ok. I knew he hadn't been around, but didn't realize why until today.

 

[Strax]

Wasn't the last hiring process that but with it being announced on the Beastcast? That was as low key as you can get a process like that.

I mean more like maybe they've been interviewing people behind the scenes since the moment Austin told them he was leaving and a new hire will maybe come in at the end of july.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Catching up now. Ha, Dan was out of his league on that couch.

 

[Myggen]

I mean more like maybe they've been interviewing people behind the scenes since the moment Austin told them he was leaving and a new hire will maybe come in at the end of july.

Jeff made it seem like they hadn't started the process yet, no way of knowing when this happened and how close to all the E3 nonsense. It'll happen when it happens.

 

[Data West]

I was not expecting Country Rap for the new Farming Simulator trailer

 

[Zaph]

I mean more like maybe they've been interviewing people behind the scenes since the moment Austin told them he was leaving and a new hire will maybe come in at the end of july.

That's optimistic. Hopefully Jeff kept a few resumes from the shortlist last round and one of those work out - would be really nice for gbe to hit the ground running once Austin leaves.

 

[Tubobutts]

Congrats to Austin, but I'm not really a fan of other Vice stuff I've seen. Maybe he can change my mind.

 

[BUNTING1243]

It'd be cool if they could get a producer and writer this round of hiring, but I doubt they have the budget for two people. I feel like four people (one of which is another producer) would really be the sweet spot for BEAST.

Fucking ugly dog face rat. ;_;

Yeah, I saw that. You're a cruel individual. What did he do to you?!

 

[stump sock]

Fuck popplio.

 

[demidar]

Congrats to Austin, but I'm not really a fan of other Vice stuff I've seen. Maybe he can change my mind.

At least now Vice will have at least one respectable outlet.

 

[hamchan]

Austin was too good at this freelancing article stuff, of course someone would hire him to run a whole gaming site.

 

[Tubobutts]

And we didn't get enough Austin/Drew stuff.

 

[No_Style]

And we didn't get enough Austin/Drew stuff.

Now who will teach Drew about board games?

 

[Kyari]

Have they dropped any hints as to who might replace Austin?

Stop. Austin doesn't want this.

 

[bearythebear]

As bittersweet as it is, this Vice stuff makes a lot of sense for Austin. It's clear that he deeply cares about giving good writers a financially stable outlet to do good writing. And there is now an opportunity for someone new/different to get a boost from working at Giant Bomb.

 

[Lunar FC]

Have they dropped any hints as to who might replace Austin?

Yes. They have left a tiny breadcrumb trail throughout all of their E3 coverage. It is now our task to put the pieces together.

 

[broncobuster]

Hmm, is there another guy named Austin who wants a Gundam game for PSP?

 

[Tubobutts]

Dave came back for the first Gbwest unplugged so surely that means Austin will come back and be the DM for GBEast unplugged right?

Right?

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Peter Stormare joining GBeast. You heard it here first.

 

[Ketch]

Yes. They have left a tiny breadcrumb trail throughout all of their E3 coverage. It is now our task to put the pieces together.

Look closesly at the segment with Jeff Green in it.

Spoiler

the new hire is jeff green

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Super Best Friends are now Giant Bomb Montreal!

 

[EdReedFan20]

I wonder if Austin's guest editor/writer thing will keep going.

 

[No_Style]

Going through stream music withdrawal so I'm just putting on Day 3's archive just to listen to the royalty free instrumentals

 

[Rhaknar]

The fact that Rorie is "just" a community guy and not a editor kills me a little bit every day, dude is awesome
