Christ, cool your jets son. There will probably be more Vinny-centric content, not less. He can now basically do what he wants.

X 32? Jeff just wants to record some new Midnight Brown 7 inches.
On a note not serious at all, do you think the split of Giant Bomb will be more like Avengers and West Coast Avengers...or Titans East and Titans West. This of course means Klepek is the only member of the Great Lakes Avengers
Patrick would be a Great Lakes Avenger.

Guys. Get this. What if, and I'm just saying "what if" these new guys Jeff is bringing in are sooooo good that we all forget that Vinny even existed?

I hope Vinny can call in for the podcast frequently. When Patrick calls in it's honestly the clearest sounding call-in I've heard on any podcast and wish he would call in for the entire episode. It sounds like he's actually in the room with them.

fuckin' called it, man

You realize what a lot of people consider GB's finest hour was in that initial tiny basement, right?

Nah, they are going to go straight up east coast renegade.

I think you need to cool down, it is just a videogame site duder.

What ever happened to that couch?
It did make it to the CBS office I think. Is it still there somewhere?
it was in the 2013 goty videos
Whatever, Vinny sat on that couch for more than 99 hours for the endurance runs. Maybe if I can sit on it, he can be my butt dad.

The podcast can be largely unaffected if they envest in a ISDN line setup for the main crew. That and whatever choice of live video feed so they can still jell visually should be adequate.I go to the website for the quicklooks and to download the podcast. The quicklooks will be quicklooks...rarely do I watch the whole thing. For me the most important thing is the podcast. And there are a number of ways they can still be on top with that.

I bet that cough was originally white.
Ya know... if GB NY is going to be returning to good ol' whiskey media basement fun then they should probably ship that couch across the country so it can carry on its legacy.
That couch has seen too much to be in a corporate office. It needs to be underground, in a basement with neon signs on the walls.
New gear for GBSF. Old gear for GBNY. The Big Knob is going bi-coastal.

Sad he is moving because he won't be with Jeff, Brad and Drew but happy he will be close to family since he has kid. Having a kid is like an escort mission that never ends but it's always easier with backup.
Trying to see the silver lining but feel like the person who is a catalyst of so many great moments that I enjoyed will be on the otherside of the country with no access to decent Mexican food.

BTW, does anyone have the links to the charity streams?
Since the Operation Supply Drop-streams might not be going up on the site I started watching them on Twitch but they kept buffering. Decided to download them using twitchtools.com which resulted in like 70 files or so. Muxed them together to 2 seperate mkv files (one for Rorie and one for Alexis/Danny).
Thought you guys might also like them so I uploaded them here https://mega.co.nz/#!zdxVBIbB!3WJ5FAzLcLG-9WYBRhYLEUY3zlRaiDd0tzhfC7XZj8s and here https://mega.co.nz/#!idgxlQJI!39glcwCfJ4qmdui-75KHo7rrw6eTqFKKSVe_qhZGgRQ
Haven't watched them fully yet but gotta say Rorie picked some excellent games! And Danny playing Skate made me sad we're not getting another one of those.

Sweet. Thank you for that.

Ya know, why doesn't rorie just release stuff like this as features? He's a pretty entertaining writer. Minus the puppy pictures. Or leave them in. Whatever.

It should be "Giant Bomb East". They all fail.

Surprised we haven't seen more Vinny / Small businessman + Wall Street / Gordon Gekko photoshops yet.
Or maybes its just me who thinks about the 80's Wall Street movie whenever someone mentions New York.

I think Vinny 'leaving to create Giant Bomb east' is just a convenient cover story, and we have overlooked what is really happening. The hints have been dropped for a while.
The state of New York has been a pretty common topic over the years, but recently Vinny learned how far down his hometown has fallen into darkness from the bombcast email. This was the perfect opportunity for him to abuse his power at VinCo creating things like mag lev carts and other powered automation technologies and return home in secret as none other than IronVin, a VinCo powered super soldier constructed with the sole purpose of cleaning up New York and returning it to its former glory so that Max and the rest of the world have a chance to see it as his father did.

Looks like Yankee pinstripes in "Giant", taxi cab colors in "Bomb" and the "O" as the big apple. Super awesome!
I don't get the Brad Nicholson hate, he was amazing on old podtoid.
He was, but he was a disaster at GB. His "FEEL MY BICEPS, RYAN!" persona just didn't click with the others. I think Jeff has gone on record saying that he learned a lot about integrating people into the crew after Nicholson, and that it was as much his fault that it didn't work out.
Anyways, "I heard the community loves me". Lol.

What's the "feel my bicepts, Ryan" joke ? I don't recall ever seeing Nicholson at the Giant Bomb office. Wasn't he a freelancer working from home ?

He was on the podcast once.
He was on at least one Bombcast.
Anyways, didn't mean to start this dance again. I think he's a good guy, and the community overreacted (shock!) to him being a bit bro-ish. That's all.
