Finally getting a chance to watch the Day 3 aftershow. The first segment was not nearly as awkward as I expected based on the way people were talking about it.

Great thread title considering... It really sucks we are losin austin on giant bomb but i know whatever he helps create at vice will be amazing. On the other hand, i have complete faith in jeff to hire someone who might not be an austin doppelganger l, but will be insightful and entertaining in their own way
Exactly how I feel. Vinny and Jeff will figure this shit out.
In the meantime I hope for another Game Tapes soon. Last one was amazing. Might need to rewatch that one.

Let the new hire speculation begin.
Hopefully the new kid stays around longer then the hiring process this time.
The vice gig seems super up Austin's alley though. Happy for him. Will follow him and see what he does.

In an alternate universe this is the process by which GiantBomb gets sold off to VICE in the future and how Austin becomes everyone's boss.

I would be inclined to agree if the dude didn't just buy a house in Chicago and Jeff said he want's someone else in New York. The one man Chicago show didn't really work out the first time so I don't see them trying it again.
And Jeff Green lives on the opposite side of the country, so one can dream.

Uh it's hatchet, thank you
Didn't Jeff Green commute from San Fransico to Seattle at some point? That's pretty much the same as San Fransico to New York.
Ok, but do you like Warhammer and other tabletop games?
We made you kvk1!

Good point, that further cements my theory.

So What kotaku writers live in NYC?
I bet most of them where polishing their CVs already.

He would if it meant we would have JeffJeffJeffcasts.
Or they hire Johnny V and have JV and JV casts with Jeff, Vinny, and Johnny.
You mean a JeffJeffJeffJeffcast?

That would be if Jeff, Jeff, and Jeff had a podcast that was only about Jeffs.
Well Jeff Green is Jewish and if you don't count Bakalar since he works for CNet, the closest thing to a Jewish member they've had has been people calling Kessler and Patrick antisemitic slurs despite neither of them being Jewish and one time someone on the forums asked if Jeff was a Jew cause he was "good with money"
Exactly... The best kind of podcast
Shes already Editor in Chief on zam.com. I could see a world where this happened if Austin was leaving a few months ago though.
Thats the problem with a lot of the favorites for GB hires, they're already in cushy positions.
Wtf is Zam.com?
I learned about three new sites today... Zam, Vice and Glixel... Never heard of neither of them before... The fuck is happening. Nobody told them that youtube is killing all the websites?

If you've never heard of vice, that one's on you
I've heard of Vice of course... Come on... First I hear about Vice Gaming tho
No one predicted Austin before he was hired, I even got the title of the OT changed because of my denial. So it`s more than likely that it won`t be any of the 10 names that people in this thread bring up all the time.
But seriously, this thread is gonna be fucking unbearable if people are gonna have the same discussion about the same 10 names for however many months it takes until there`s a new hire.

She's only the reviews editor. Giant Bomb seems like the kind of place you'd leave somewhere for. But who knows.

Maybe Brad will finally leave after all. To go to New York.
Why the fuck is every sites quoting the Phil Spencer interview saying "Microsoft PC Games are coming to Steam!"... No they aren't... He never said that...
All he said is that Microsoft is still releasing games to Steam (for example Ori and Age of Empire) but he never said anything about big first party Xbox One games ever coming to Steam...
Microsoft has way too much riding on the shitty UWP program to drop it this quickly.

Considering the way West seems to far apart when they are down a man, I really hope this isn't the case.
More than likely Jeff was referring to discussing what kind of hire they need, but sure, he was probably referring to one of them moving to NY, lol.
I think you can safely say that it isn`t.

What if they all move to New York and then hire a new person to start GBWest?
Griffin starting a GBWest office, have to start them young. Getting that baby demographic.
They can send Vinny's kids out west too and finally start Giant Bomb Babies.
I think Rorie will stay in the west in the Nanny role.
I mean... Max is probably 5ft tall by now anyway?
I'm sure she's happy at Zam but I'd love it if she joined GB.
