I wonder what the chances of them having actual C64 hardware hooked up is?

I'm guessing it's gonna be an emulator.

Man, what an awesome stream it would be if they had games on tapes. Those 10-30min loading times were the best times of my childhood.

 

[FallingEdge]

Yes.

This is what I mean.

In a way, aren't we all the new employee? Except Funky Student.

 

[Brick]

Who is Carrie Gouskos? I've seen her name come up a few times in this thread, but I can't remember her doing anything with the BG crew. Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy, though...

 

[xxracerxx]

Will today's UPF be the premiere of the new member?

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Guys, finally a reason to own an Ouya:

Broken Age Ouya

Hey backers, we’ve got some good news today for those of you wanting to put some big screen Broken Age action in your eyeballs. Act 1 is now available on Ouya! Not only that, but our friends at Ouya have graciously provided free codes for all our backers!

Who is Carrie Gouskos? I've seen her name come up a few times in this thread, but I can't remember her doing anything with the BG crew. Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy, though...

She's been on a few event live shows (GDC) but she worked with everyone back at Gamespot. She's good people.

Ireland - and it is 9:10pm here. Twitter is always an hour out for me on PC. Fine on phone.

 

[Brick]

To be honest, I expected much more Leigh Alexander troll suggestions in this thread...

I believe this is who they're referring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiPw2v02nE4

Sadly, she would only accept an illegal amount of money as her salary.

 

[Keyser Soze]

To be honest, I expected much more Leigh Alexander troll suggestions in this thread...

I heard she asked for an extraordinarily large sign on fee to join.Giant Bomb.

She's in England now. Long shot.

Not far enough away.

 

[Tan]

Ryckert gotta join them on a UPF wearing that Giantbomb helmet and masking his voice.

 

[strafer]

Why is this such a big deal for you guys? It's just another human being getting work.

It's not the rebirth of jesus

 

[Consequence]

There's no way they're hiring Jesus, he'd be even worse than Brad at games.

My god

Jeff is the new Giant Bomb editor!

Have you not READ Air Force Gator?

 

[Fox318]

Giantbomb is giving birth to Jesus?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

I believe Korn has just released the following statement:

Gaming is like a religion, and Giant Bomb is the shit.

 

[AColdDay]

Jeff's probably watching this thread with sick glee. "So many marks, so little time..."

At this point, I'm expecting nothing less than Adam Orth giving the fingerpoke of doom to Jeff.

 

[Patryn]

First Pick: Dan Ryckert
Second Pick: Carrie Gouskos

Thirded.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Midnight WrassleGAF is running wild! WOO! WOO! WOO!

Thread has gone nuts!

In other news, put me down for Ryckert & Varanini! So either way we get the Wrestling Senior Editor we all need!

 

[Zabant]

Clearly Giancarlo is the new Senior Editor

i know you're joking but Giancarlo has been the new guy for the past 5+ years.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Why do you believe I would care about Jesus' rebirth. That guy has died and risen so many times it become worse than the Tony Hawk series.

 

[Curufinwe]

Why is this such a big deal for you guys? It's just another human being getting work.

We pay money to watch and listen to these guys for hundred of hours per year.

 

[Ominym]

I really hope whoever they hire wears the Giant Bomb mask thing around all the time so this madness will never end.

 

[IaN_GAF]

It would be kind of great if the stream goes live and it's Jeff, Dan Ryckert, Carrie Gouskos, Zoë Quinn, Adam Sessler and Danny O'Dwyer all playing Commodere, not acknowledging the whole new hire situation at any point during the broadcast.

 

[Fox318]

Fight to the death, winner gets the job.

 

[Tan]

Pretty sure this commodore stream is just gonna be 2 hours of Jeff teasing the new editor and screwing with people. With guests like Jared Rosen, Zoe Quinn, Dan Ryckert, Giancarlo, ...

edit: Damnit Ian!

 

[brianmcdoogle]
