The IGN guys, the Giant Bomb guys, Dan, and Jason tell everybody on Twitter to go watch a livestream on IGN.

Cut to Dan, Jason, Andy McNamara, and Greg Miller sitting on a couch. Dan and Jason have an announcement to make. They beat the shit out of Andy, tear off their Game Informer shirts to reveal IGN logos. Greg, Dan, and Jason excitedly celebrate their newly formed alliance. BUT WAIT - WHO'S THAT WEARING A LUCHADEER MASK? Luchadeer punches Greg Miller in the face knocking him unconscious. The mask is yanked off to reveal JEFF GERSTMANN! The crowd goes wild. Dan and Jason rip off the IGN shirts, to reveal GIANT BOMB SHIRTS! Brad and Drew run onto the set as the applause grows louder. Fade to black.

I'll laugh so hard if they set up an elaborate reveal like this considering that mod dropped the spaghetti.

We need someone to drive a White Hummer and never be revealed to make this complete.

and you blew it.

i am legit shook right now

Now that they've got the new hires, I'm sure they will. Jeff surely wants another weekly-ish Premium series at least.

Anyways, re-watching the Bioforge videos now. That's hands down some of the best content the site has ever produced. So good.

I've been wanting to watch that, too? Where can I find it? Was it an Unprofessional Friday or an actual Bioforge centric video?

Thanks, in advance!
 
It's funny to imagine that mod only guessed the hires like the rest of us, then scrambled to tweet like he was in the know all along as soon as he saw Jeff mention their names on twitter, without actually reading the tweet properly :)
 
they should hire me to do PR for the site. I'm trained in it. I can run a twitter account and not spill beans.
 
I don't think a mod would be in the know on who's getting hired.

Looks like he just posted that after Jeff's tweet, but he didn't pay attention to the subtext in said tweet.

Dan Ryckert
Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, the Butt Tumbler joins the Giant Bomb West Coast wrestling federation. Previously just a meer smark, no wrestler is more infamous for their out-of-the-ring antics than this wily contender; you may get the pin, but he'll have his revenge in the end, whether it's through dating sites, midnight launches or writing and self-publishing a book detailing your every flaw. That's assuming he can be pinned, though - his silly exterior masks old-school technique honed from years of watching terrible PPVs. Watch out for his punishing aerial technique, the Air Force Gator - it's got a real bite.

If they really do get rid of that mod that would be a pretty shitty thing to do

Of course they won't, it's not a big deal. He's the mod that does the most community stuff for the site and runs that account, he does a shitload for the GB community without pay. Of course they won't "fire" him.
 
Is Rickert the kinda guy who would bring a weird game to UPF that's all I need to know.

Is Österreicher the kinda guy who would apply weird effects to the stream that's all I need to know.
 
My only "worry" with Dan is that he loves being the bad guy. I can see him try to make fun of Rorie or Brad to get a reaction. He did that a lot at GI and sometimes just took it way too far.
 
What was the Time-To-ER for Patrick? Only a few months right?

We need to fake-hate Dan so that he gets desperate and does an Endurance Run with Jeff ASAP.

Ryckert was part of a Super Replay (basically an Endurance Run) of Tail of the Sun. That should tell you everything.

I doubt at this point they'll never do another ER. It just doesn't seem something they like. They might do Persona 5 though because of the riots that would ensue if they didn't.

I'd be willing to put down money that they'll never do a Persona 5 ER.

I think they'd be more likely to do any other game in existence before they'd do Persona 5.

Brad already lives by perceived slights. Maybe he'll just ignore someone that directly antagonises him.

Or maybe he'll finally retaliate. Giant Bomb Season 2 : Brad Fights Back.
