[Risible]

I still find it hard to watch / listen to old stuff. It's great because it's entertaining as ever, but it's sort of a sinking feeling knowing it will never be like that again. Not that it won't be good, just it won't be like that.

Video Things for life.

Yep. For a guy I never met I'm surprised how much it bums me out when I see Ryan in an old QL or video . Duder is sorely missed.

 

[scoobs]

He's from one of the Carolina's I believe, he has always done it. So he's forgiven.

I'll forgive him, but I still cringe every time I hear it.

 

[Megasoum]

Ugh... I hope Zoe is not one of the new editor...

A female would be a nice addition to the staff I think. I dunno who this Zoe person is but I can't imagine shes THAT bad

Oh yeah, I don't have any issues with a female joining the staff... It's just Zoe specifically that I'm not a fan of.

She's not bad. Just not what Giant Bomb West needs at all.

 

[JayEH]

I'm watching last week's UPF and Vinny just got on camera. He looks like he's really holding back the tears.

She's not bad. Just not what Giant Bomb West needs at all.

Isn't she a dev? Why are people thinking she's joining GB?

Depression Quest developer, apparently a cyborg. Seemed to lack a certain sense of presence during PAX East 2014 panel.

Good editor should be a preferred quality before female editor.

 

[Valtýr]

She announced she applied for the position on Twitter.

 

[Megasoum]

She announced she applied for the position on Twitter.

And she said tonight that she his moving to San Francisco.

 

[JayEH]

She announced she applied for the position on Twitter.

Oh. Did it seem like she was serious or just joking around? (I know it's hard to judge that from a tweet.)

 

[Valtýr]

Seemed serious.

 

[JayEH]

Seemed serious.

Ok. I don't know much about her but I saw her on the morning show for a bit. I thought that episode was boring since it was a two way conversation with Patrick and her, Alex left there to fend for himself lol.

But from what I remember...I don't know if she would fit in with everyone else but like I said I've had limited exposure.

 

[Khezu]

Two weeks ago I would have been cool with Zoe, but now? I don't know.

With Vinny in NY, they need someone with high energy that can act as a foil to Brad and kinda Jeff.

I don't think Zoe is that.

 

[ST2K]

I think they need someone with writing experience in the industry. And preferably someone who is either articulate or funny, for the Bombcast's sake.

 

[Rhaknar]

Been relistening to old bombcasts lately and in a late 2010 one Brad just mentioned a trip to South Korea for a Starcraft 2 tournament and how there was tons of video...

How the fuck have I never seen these videos?

I don't think Zoe is that.

She would be a great "straight man" foil to a Ryan or Vinny. She seems such an earnest, genuine and open person that I can't imagine her as silly. God knows GB needs some silly right now. If they can find someone like you said, high energy and quick witted I think she would be a wonderful, less grumpy, voice of reason.

Maybe she applied because she was moving to SF anyway? Relax, Jeff knows what he is doing.

Greg's got this. I'm not worried.

So many people talking about knowing what's best for Giant Bomb. I didn't realize Jeff had so many alt account on GAF.

It's crazy right? Why would people voice their opinion about a possible new GB hire, in the GB thread?

 

[jgminto]

Zoe Quinn is rad, so I'd totally be down with that.

...Brad?

 

[LiK]

Is there going to be a Mario Kart quick look?

fuck, i wonder if they did a MK8 QL with Vinny already? Need those Mario Italian jokes!

 

[Volotaire]

Is there going to be a Mario Kart quick look?

Nintendo usually has a lot of restrictions regarding video content until release day. I guess this is holding the quicklook up.

 

[Infinite Justice]

if she does seem interested good luck and i hope she can handle the community since some dumbass is gonna say some dumb shit.

You've probably already found them, but here are the links anyway.

There's a little bit of Jeff in all of us.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Zoe Quinn is rad, so I'd totally be down with that.

Agreed on both counts.

It would be neat to have a dev actually cross into the media. It's always the other way around. People have talked about embedding a journalist at a studio, but imagine flipping that script. I would totally be down with that.

 

[BUNTING1243]

I think Zoe Quinn is great, but I'm not sure how well she would fit in with GB's video stuff. Also they really need someone high-energy now that Vinny is gone and I'm not sure if she's that. She'd be a great hire down the road.

What about Alex, Drew and Rorie?

 

[BlastProcessing]

Good point, I should clarify. When I said dev I really meant a programmer, designer, or artist. I don't want to denigrate the work those guys did at their respective studios.

You clearly wish.

Yeah, I rather like her, but I think she'd be a poor addition at this particular point in time.

 

[Ken]

hire max

No YOU clearly wish.

 

[Bsigg12]

I really hope it's Vinny playing in the Watch Dogs quick look.

 

[def sim]

I really hope it's Vinny playing in the Watch Dogs quick look.

Jeff apparently reviewed it so it's most likely him.

 

[Bsigg12]

I figured that would be the case, I just wanted one more Vinny led Dogs romp.

 

[Aaron]

Problem is any dev whose work I like I'd rather they kept making games than devote their time to talking about them. When they're guests on podcasts and shows it's great, but would be a waste if it became their permanent gig.

Goddamn Jeff teasing.

Quick Look attached to the review page. I like it.

I hear you. Hopefully we get one last Jeff/Vinny combo at the very least.

 

[Brashnir]

It might just be the video, but the framerate in thw Watch Dogs QL looks terrible, especially for a cross-gen game.

edit - apparently it was something on my end. I refreshed the page and it looks playable now. Still not great though.

 

[SlowRevolution]

holy shit there are a lot of really ugly things on the screen in this game. the white outlines of the people during combat are especially bad.

 

[skynidas]

dang, i predicted that shit

☺☺☺☺☺☺

Ashly Burch as the new GiantBomb editor. How cool would that be.
So cool.

I'm fine with whatever person they hire if they bring weird games to UPF.
