All jokes aside, isn't Jack Tretton going to be on Spike's E3 coverage? Potential to get him on one of the GB night shows...?

It will never happen but GOD DAMN that would be amazing.

I don't see a high end guy like Tretton joining the drunken stupor that is giant bomb e3

 

[Google]

It's Danny. It has always been Danny.

I was thinking this - but it all seems a little too...obvious. I mean, he already works at the company, he's on a lot of the GB stuff - what sort of hiring process would they need? It would be an internal transfer that would take a quick coffee to sort out.

But seriously, as a Brit living abroad and loving the GB guys - Danny has become a favourite of mine very recently.

They could make a whole night of high-end guy guests! Jack Tretton, Michael Pachter, Zodiac Motherfucker...

Ed Boon?

They've had both Pachter and Geoff Keighley on in the past. Maybe they could make the connect?

I'm glad someone is standing for proper beverage temperature.

I don't watch F1 but the Alt-F1 podcast is still great. And I hope Danny can get a soccer/footie podcast off the ground under the GB banner.

You know what it is, he's got a very different vibe that I think reminds me of home. Comparing that to the very diverse mix of east, central and west coast tendancies on the podcast it's a super nice change that I enjoy.

Have you ever worked for a large corporation?

He's been able to get me to read/watch content on Gamespot which I'm fairly certain hasn't happened since the 90s.

Have you ever worked for a large corporation?

Yeah - multiple times. I've been transferred internationally with a billion dollar company - it was super fucking easy including all the additional monetary bonus' I got for moving.

Fantastic.

 

[Curufinwe]

If Carrie Gouskos is not Senior Editor, then I will change my avatar to something from The Big Bang Theory for two full months.

There... now I am fully invested in this nonsense!

 

[Neverfade]

Figured it out:

 

[Chance Hale]

At least we can be confident that no matter who got hired, they will be terrible at games.

 

[SteveWinwood]

It took me a month, talking to 6 people, and 25 emails to get reimbursed for a car rental once.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I'm leaving it to Giantbomb East in making the Endurance Run a thing again. If Vinny doesn't make it happen then no-one will.

I'm hoping for a Sleeping Dogs endurance run

 

[Curufinwe]

Vinny's already played it, though.

 

[Alfredo]

Vinny's already played it, though.

It'll be an Endurance Run for Alex's patience for Vinny's insane antics.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

On a completely unrelated note, all of the JoJo talk a while back got me to watch and read JoJo's and holy shit the video game part in Part 3 turns into a Vinny/Jeff sports quick look at one point and I just died

Jojo.

Is.

Great.

There's a lot to love there.

 

[Mechanized]

Er, is it normal for there to be a 24 countdown to Unpro Fridays?

 

[Manbig]

Er, is it normal for there to be a 24 countdown to Unpro Fridays?

Why would 24 countdown to Unprofessional Fridays? It airs on Fox, not CBS.

Looking forward to the Pajama Sam and Spy Fox quick looks as well.

They know people are eager to see Vinny

Spoiler

not on the couch.

 

[komplanen]

I don't think I'm ready for a UPF without Vinny.

 

[jimmypop]

Jeff Green is the right man for the job.

Jeff Green is the only man for the job.

 

[Megasoum]

Jeff Green is the only man for the job.

I would prefer Danny over Jeff but both would be amazing choices that unfortunatly won't happen.

 

[Myggen]

Jeff said on the pizza stream that the new editor would begin work in about a month. So unless they announce the new editor way before he/she starts work, we've potentially got a month of speculation ahead of us. Huzzah!

Would be awesome if they just kept running with the speculation rather than just say who it is. Would get to the point where literally every single person who shows up for their E3 night shows is being speculated to be joining the site.

I fucking loved those Putt-Putt games. Them and Fatty Bear.

 

[Blastoise]

Has Vinny already left for NY?

 

[Rhaknar]

Can someone please explain this beef Rorie has with soda machines?

 

[Talon]

It took me a month, talking to 6 people, and 25 emails to get reimbursed for a car rental once.

...what? What kind of roughshod, shed operation are you working for?

 

[Curufinwe]

Has Vinny already left for NY?

Probably.

 

[komplanen]

Can someone please explain this beef Rorie has with soda machines?

The soda machine on their floor was set to warm temperature to conserve energy (warm soda is shit) and the one in 2nd floor was not. Second floor is where people responsible for this are located, I assume.

 

[Patryn]

They should just introduce every E3 guest as their new senior editor just to screw with people.

Has Vinny already left for NY?

Yes.

Warm soda out of a machine? What is this insanity?

 

[bigwinnerx]

Vinny should be doing Mixlr on his trip. Just crying and screaming and whining and maybe you'll hear his kid and wife, too.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Since Vinny bought a house in NY, did he buy a racing wheel?

 

[Bacon]

Warm soda out of a machine? What is this insanity?

Well in all honesty it's 46 degrees which isn't ideal but also isn't exactly "warm," it just isn't as cold as it used to be. Rorie has mentioned his aggravation over it on 3 or 4 livestreams in a row, he just won't let it go and it is a beautiful thing to witness.

 

[Pelydr]

Second floor is where the money people are. So of course THEY get the cold soda.

Oh, and Carrie really would be the perfect hire! She is hilarious, has a relationship with the crew already and also has editor experience. It almost makes too much sense.
