They don't have a Wii U in the office.

Super interesting that worms ends up being the blind spot of Jeff and Brad's video game knowledge. I thought everyone knew worms super well.

Majine · May 30, 2014

A good way to have a bad time with Worms is to play every mode but the one that matters, Local multiplayer.

TylerD · May 30, 2014

My source tells me there is a good chance the new hire is an opened year old bag of Funyuns. Is still better than Brad at video games.

It lacks his anime knowhow, though. It's the only reason Brad is contracted to work with GB these days after having quit a few years back.

My source tells me there's a decent chance the new hire is a box of 775 unopened Twinkies.

As usual Nintendo has a different embargo for review and longform video of a game. Nintendo's old school like that. They mentioned on the Bombcast(?) that the embargo for video goes up on release day. So expect the QL the day of release.

That's today.

Oh shit, I forgot. Then the embargo is no more! Alex mentioned that they'll do the QL next week, so probably monday/tuesday? I think he has their only version of the game

SlowRevolution · May 30, 2014

just realized how weird UPF is going to be today, unless they get someone to come in.

I'm sure Danny'll be there.

Brakke · May 30, 2014

Woke up to 8-4 E3 HYPE TRAIN. ALL ABOARD.

Someone make a thread! I'm on mobile! What is that train song? I need it!

Of course Quad City DJs. Of course.

Probably. Guessing they may also try to wrangle Alexis to show up.

What I'm wondering is what the lineup for the Bombcast is next week. I'd really like to see them try to get Danny for the time being.... and then pull a Patrick where he just becomes a regular out of inertia.

Danny, Rorie, That Other Gamespot Guy That Played Red Faction Armageddon, Brad, and Jeff.

That more than enough for a show. Drew will likely be stuck in a room with Big Knob all show though :/

We're the new hire. All of us. Introducing Your Bomb, a next generation cross media platform for sharing your experiences with the games you love, at home or on the go. To tell us more about this exciting new project,

OMG if it is Dan Ryckert I will crap myself with excitement.

Dan is GREAT.

He just tweeted that it was his last day at GI. and is "moving out west for his next gig"

Fuck yeah, that also means that Wrestling podcast will happen more frequently.

Here's the quote from http://www.gameinformer.com/blogs/editors/b/gidan_blog/archive/2014/05/30/saying-goodbye-to-game-informer.aspx

If you're a fan of watching my dumb ass on videos, I assure you that there will be a damn near intolerable amount of that happening in the near future.

Never heard of this guy. What's his YouTube channel?

People should also star digging up dirt on these potential hires so we can get disappointed before they start and have time to get over it.

GuyKazama · May 30, 2014

It has to be Dan, which is the best possible pick. Maybe they were just waiting for him to announce leaving GI before making it official.

Whats the pay?

Wario64 · May 30, 2014

So Dan Ryckert is joiniing Giant Bomb? Right?

Consequence · May 30, 2014

Ryckert is such a goddamn good snag. Well done, Jeff.

Alex just retweeted Dan leaving Game Informer. Now this would be an amazing hire.

Now Dan tweeted he is moving to San Francisco...

V_Ben · May 30, 2014

Ohhhhhhhh shit. Oh shit. That's going to be amazing. Another wrestling fan!

Lijik · May 30, 2014

Dan is actually going to gamebomb.ru as their foreign correspondent

Mr.Towel · May 30, 2014

Dan said he's moving to San Fran on his twitter. So, basically confirmed? Maybe?

Quentyn · May 30, 2014

He just tweeted that he is moving to San Francisco. This is great, best possible choice.

GitarooMan · May 30, 2014

Ryckert would be an amazing add. Just perfect.

HappenstanceUK · May 30, 2014

Dan Rykert has to have moved to the front of the predictions now right? Moving West for his new job and still in the games industry.

Wario64 · May 30, 2014

@DanRyckert
I'm moving to San Francisco, so I'd love any leads on semi-affordable apartments in that horrible cesspool of a city.

Fantastapotamus · May 30, 2014

How they managed to Quicklook Worms without playing multiplayer is beyond me.

WAIT. Dan Ryckert? This is too good to be true. This can't be true

Fox318 · May 30, 2014

Pauly Shore is still out there Jeff.

daydream · May 30, 2014

Ryckert, eh? I'll take you guys' word for it that he'd be a good pick.

LiK · May 30, 2014

It's fucking Dan

He works at game informer, and is basically the guy that does all the crazy stupid stuff.

he has a great series where he gets his dad in to come play games:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvUl9mc7gn4&list=PLB48C10BB584A0D4C&index=3

Dan has been involved in many of game informers "super replays" which are basically endurance runs (of usually awful games)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3xtCUdF3X0&list=PLjoffsOTwLrPZFiigHU9irQMftn7sm89i

Give me a bit to search for more specific stuff. But he is a really funny guy, that often pushes peoples buttons in the best ways

patjburns89 · May 30, 2014

I thought Dan was too tough of a get. Holy damn.

Tucah · May 30, 2014

Dan Ryckert would be a perfect pick.

Fantastapotamus · May 30, 2014

This can't be a coincidence right? It just can't be.

Lingitiz · May 30, 2014

Yeah it's pretty much Dan. He's a perfect fit.

Patryn · May 30, 2014

Yeah, I'd say he's looking like the favorite right now. He'd fit as a Senior Editor.

OdysseusVA · May 30, 2014

I wanted Danny, not Dan.

Keyser Soze · May 30, 2014

Ryckert or Couscous are two top tier choices.

I am going to have some eggs and mull this over.

LegoArmo · May 30, 2014

It's everyone!

Chabbs0 · May 30, 2014

It's looking very likely to be Dan Ryckert!

Haha, or Polygon!

TheExhaustedWalrus · May 30, 2014

This is great, I love Dan. He's a great fit.
