Dan Ryckert would be sweet. I love him on the Power Bombcast.

Dan Ryckert would be the perfect addition to Giant Bomb. But I would miss his Replays with Tim Turi if he were to leave Game Informer.
Then they'd just need to hire Tim Turi as well for the celebratory Cyberia Hard Mode Endurance Run.

I hope the new hire is someone nobody has ever heard of, if only to confuse and scare everybody.

The new Giant Bomb editor is clearly Pope Francis.
Obviously he's talking about the Giant Bomb Offices.

One would assume she was on a decent whack at EA. Definitely more than one would be paid without tenure at a media outlet. Would she take a cut?

Actually it's Eric Pope, the real Pope is in on the secret.

Oh man. Turi and Ryckert could be the official ER guys. Cranking them out non-fucking-stop.
I want this to happen.

I can't think of a better fit than Ryckert.

Ugh, not another white guy.

They'd need Reiner too, though, really, and if this whole thing wasn't already an absurd idea, the thought of him leaving GI...
Mythic just got shutdown. Its just speculation that the people there may have known it was coming, hence them looking for other jobs. Again, just speculation from us weirdos.

I'd just like it if one day everyone comes to the office and finds the two vending machines mysteriously swapped.

Carrie lives across the country and is married. Ain't happening.
My fanfic says otherwise.
It's not the weekend yet.

It is kinda amazing that Giant Bomb has generated a community that cares so much about another person working at the site, but on the other hand holy shit this speculation stuff went way overboard ages ago and has only gotten worse and oh god I want to light myself on fire now.
blame it on Jeff for opening his stupid mouth last stream. He knows exactly what he did. Scumbag.
Hopefully, because holy shit east coast game dev seems to be getting absolutely butchered.so any word on if Carrie was moved to another studio?

So i wasn't around when Patrick was hired, what was that like? I understand people didn't like him at first?
People still don't like him.
This transition is going to be rough. Unless it is Danny. He is literally the only person that would make for a smooth transition.
Drake would come close. But still be rocky.
But the bitching that is coming. Oh man, the bitching will be insufferable.

Death threats, people making fun of his father dying, wanting him to leave...
You know, the usual stuff.

Project Beasts is the new hire.

I don't think that shit started until he started posting "SJW" articles. Those first couple of months it was more tempered.
I know it isn't happening, just saying he is the only one that would fit in fairly seamlessly without major annoying outbursts.

Why didn't people like him at the time? He seems pretty inoffensive to me.
Jesus. What the hell, internet?
It's funny because the entire GB team basically agree with him on that stuff, but people just seem to ignore that.
People hate change. Adding a new personality to a site/podcast like Giant Bomb is a big change.

You should check the giant thread that's been going on all night with that footage.
There's a thread already.

Danny is there so much he doesn't even need to be an official member IMO
I think the majority of the users liked/like him... there was a huge thread for him when his father passed away, and I remember Ryan noting that response as showing that Patrick had been accepted by the community on the Bombcast when Patrick came back for the first time after his time off.
I think the big difference between Patrick and the rest of the crew is more the tone/delivery of what he is saying, that's where the SJW crap comes in. People not liking the way some games journalists say things, sometimes it feels like they are trying to be the internet's parents or something, "here is what I think and if you disagree it just proves you're not as evolved as a human being as I am" instead of just saying "here is what I think"
that may all be wrong, I personally dont have an issue with Patrick. I dont always agree with him, but I was a fan of his from G4 so when they hired him I was excited, and I still think its been a positive addition having him around.
Official would be better but I enjoy all the content that he produces with Giant Bomb.
Drake was great on the Vinnyvania thing too.

Why would it be a good idea to hire somebody and give him the money you've been saving up for years to somebody who is already within the company and contributing to your business?
