Patrick has a podcast talking to her about the very subject coming up on the site too.

Watched the Jojo Quick Look and yeah, that thing seems to be a pretty great kind of stupid. Will totally check the series out.

Considering the leak is anything but real, no. Unless they want to take it and just make fun of people thinking it is real.

I considered that magnet thing at one point after reading about it, but it seems like after the coolness of the new sensation wears off it's more of an annoyance than anything useful. Maybe it could work if you had it in all fingers.
I watched the second video where she talks about programming it to give out a Deux Ex code and thought "Man that's super weird and cool!"
Then I watched the first video where she explains how she did and how it feels and I nearly passed out.
Jeff said this on his Tumblr: "Weve got a lead on one of the jobs that seems potentially promising, hopefully well get those positions filled soon."
But yeah, I would be shocked if they didn't at least have a solid lead on that position. With what that position demands of having to be on-camera etc., it would be almost impossible to take someone totally fresh and know if he/she would work out. The Associate Producer position is probably more open (unless Hamst3r wants the job!).
I'm 3 episodes in and it's bizarre all right. The pacing is nuts although I think the show sprints through years and years of material to remove the filler and get to the main stuff. Also Robert EO Speedwagon is the greatest name I have ever heard.

It takes an extremely powerful magnet to affect modern magnetic media.

I like Brad's idea of E.O. standing for Edward Olmos.
Well if she's doing work with floppies that could be a problem. Nothing else would care.
My initial reaction. Good for her though I guess
I just realized I have no idea where one would go to watch anime. You guys have some go-to sites?
Oh hey, free, this is great. Thanks! I'll give it a watch later.

When he's right he's right, and he seems to be (half) right about this.
Yeah... I find it really disturbing but its her body so ::shrug::
The associate producer credit also makes clear that it will have an on-camera facet. I found it interesting how it and not the associate editor position had a line about how applicants must be comfortable being a public figure.
when ever Zoe Quinn comes up my first thought is of Johnny V asking why Max had a "Zoh Quinn" name tag on during the GDC livestream... although I guess I shouldn't be surprised he would say it that way since he did pronounce "Jose" as "Horsey" one time...
on a related note I need to stop listening to so many old GB podcasts at work I think...

Funimation's own site also has entire series for free as well.

I think they both mentioned that applicants must be comfortable on camera.

Cool. I haven't watched Anime since Dragon Ball Z and the JoJo's QL kinda intrigued me, so I'm gonna watch that later I think.
You're right, but that wasn't quite what I was getting at. I could have been clearer, but I found the specific wording of "public figure" kind of interesting.

I think it's mentioned so that people don't think the production gig is just sitting in a backroom.
I think they just mentioned it because it is something unusual for that position.
Ah, I see what you mean.
I'm really being unclear.
I totally know why they say it, and they should say it.
I'm just assuming that Vinny and Jeff had some say in the wording of the opening for the producer and editor, respectively. It kind of gives you a look into the thoughts they have for the job (and possibly by extension for their own jobs), and the fact that one lists becoming a public figure and the other doesn't is something I find interesting.
Clearly it's just me, however.

Being a public figure comes with the job when you're an editor, the same is not true for being a producer.

I mean, you can say that ian and alexis are on screen personalities, but it's obviously not their main stint.
Same can be said for drew until ryan's death.

I see what you're saying, but it's down to expectations, not necessarily different takes on how Vinny and Jeff see their jobs/lives.
If you're getting into editorial, it's a given that you're putting your work, and yourself, out there. Exposure is desired. Conversely, there will be lots applications for the producer job from people who have no idea what Giant Bomb is and will be surprised when they have to explain to family/friends why photoshopped GIF's of their head on Godzilla start appearing in google searches for their name.

I am still wondering why Vinny hasn't come to my house to hand over the acceptance letter yet. Hmm.

She asked for this.
Call me back when she's hacking ATMs untracably, has superhuman strength, and has 200/20+infrared/UV vision and then it's cool.
Yeah, but my thinking is that they'd be more willing to ease someone into that position (like they did with Ian), while the Associate Editor will probably be required to do well on camera from day 1. I dunno...

Isn't there like an old version of it? Is this a retelling or something? Is that one worth a watch?

There was an OVA (short film) of the second half of Stardust Crusaders, the third part of the manga (same part which introduced Stands, and the same part which the old Capcom JoJo's is based on). it's got some great animation but it's super condensed.
The ongoing anime is doing Stardust Crusaders at the moment, I'd honestly say watch that, and then go back and watch the OVA. It's what I'll be doing, anyway.
(Oh, there was a film for Part 1: Phantom Blood, but it never got released on DVD. The guy in charge of JoJo's hates it.)
Ian wasn't a producer. He was an engineer who volunteered to help out. Working the tricaster was never his actual job.

Man, one of the Bombcast Mixlrs has the Johnny V and Adam Boyes episode on and it's still an amazing episode.
This gets my vote.
