Doubt anyone else will do that job.

I could easily see someone (for some reason I feel like it'd most likely be Alex?) being placed in charge of it for the time being even if it doesn't expand till the position is filled again. It's a really cool new thing that they wouldn't want to scrap immediately.

 

[MadLaughter]

i wonder if putting that together is what made him an attractive candidate for his new gig and it continues with him in a new form there

I think so. It seems like he has a real passion for helping to give others a voice, a platform.

But there were plenty other things that made him an attractive candidate. I imagine the guest contributor work he arranged is more a signal of what his grander goals are.

What is going on in that Adam/John/Dave segment.

The guest contributor stuff started with Patrick (but wasn't able to get it all signed off before he left) and the torch was passed to Austin. It's likely the new hire will pick it back up.

 

[faridmon]

Fuck Austin is leaving already. WHY?

First Patrick and Now Austin. Can't we have an intellectually fluent member for the long term. I am so gonna miss him on the Beastcast. His chemistry with Vinny is the best.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Maaaaaaan, this segment with Jeff talking to Johnny V about his situation pre-GB is good.

Seemed that that was all Austin was doing at one point when he was cranking it out, now that it is a 2 man operation for the foreseeable future, Alex will be busy doing what giant bomb does.

I dunno, I'd think they'd be busy trying to find a new hire and do 3 people's jobs worth of video content again.

Or do cross-coast QLs. That could work.

 

[Maiorum]

This is terrible news to wake up to.

 

[Myggen]

My internet went down during last night's show and I'm just now finding out that Austin's leaving? Nooooooooooo

Good luck Austin!

I don't know if I love or hate this segment.

upf today?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

We didn't get nearly enough Austin/Jeff stuff. Those two are so smart

I wanted them to rap battle each other

Why does this thread have so many pages

The eternal WEED3 Mystery...

 

[fstop]

Now that I see that this Glixel thing is run by Jon Davison, the guy who brought Jeff back to CBSi, my fanfic is that Austin, the promising kid with a high risk/reward ratio, leaves the village to establish a new camp in the wilderness. Austin discovers a lush garden where green paper of value flows like water with virtually no middlemen. After some successful harvests, Jeff and crew move to a pasture that doesn't make you wait a fiscal quarter to buy a flippin' desk.

 

[Twin Tails]

Hope he keeps on doing PowerBombcast with the dudes.

 

[GODDAMN-ONI]

Bang.

truly perfect


I'm trying to not be emotional about it.
but man this really really sucks.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Austin is leaving?
The Life is Strange play through is why I became a fan.

 

[theSlacker]

Time to catch up on what I missed.

Also now kinda glad now that I haven't been able to watch much GB stuff over the past year since I didn't get to get attached to someone that's leaving so soon.

[A Fish Aficionado]

Um, can by hired? I swear I can be good. And science! premed, stuff.

 

[close to the edge]

Whaaaaa, Austin is leaving? That's a bummer. I'll be sure to follow whatever he does next. Maybe he'll be the next rotating chair on the Beastcast (probably not, but you can hope).

 

[avengers23]

Damn it, Austin's leaving?!

 

[Volotaire]

Bittersweet ending. Thanks for the ride Austin!

 

[strafer]

Im super bummed about this

 

[Wunder]

 

[avengers23]

I guess that's the danger of a personality-driven site: you get attached to someone, and it stings even more when the person moves on to a better opportunity.

 

[No_Style]

That's surprising and disappointing. Hopefully he'll have plenty of time finish his dissertation. Good luck, Austin.

Ain't that the truth.

If they still have him on the beastcast it would help a lot.

Just have him skype or something. I need my beastcast with Austin.

Austin said he will still be in NY so it's definitely feasible for him to come in instead of skyping.

 

[Jabronium]

That sucks. Austin's hire got me to finally bite on a premium sub. Wish nothing but the best for him wherever he goes, but I'll sorely miss his insight and commentary.

And his laugh. No matter how bad of a mood I might be in, when I hear that laugh I have to chuckle.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Austin said he will still be in NY so it's definitely feasible for him to come in instead of skyping.

Maybe every now and then but surely not always.

 

[Volotaire]

Maybe every now and then but surely not always.

Of course.

 

[avengers23]

Who's going to man the Vinny lamp when he beats a boss in VinnyVania?

Who's going to lead Build Club and Meme Mondays?

Who's going to push Jeff and Dan?

Who's going to start that music podcast with Jeff and Alex?

 

[Jabronium]

Did he give any indication when he could talk about where he's going? Haven't watched the archive yet.

 

[kiguel182]

Austin said he will still be in NY so it's definitely feasible for him to come in instead of skyping.

If his new job lets him I hope they keep doing that. He will still be missed but at least that weekly tradition would be maintained.

 

[avengers23]

Maybe he's joining the NYU Game Center?

 

[theSlacker]

Anyone got the guest list/segment list for last night?

 

[kingocfs]

Quick, Patrick, sell your house!

 

[mnz]

Quick, Patrick, sell your house!

Just get like half of a garage for the same price in NY!

 

[Incandenza]

Austin is a real treasure and I'm bummed he's leaving but I'll follow that dude wherever he ends up (if it's still public-facing). It's been a great year with him around.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I really, really hope GB East isn't going to have to wait 6 months or whatever to fill Austin's space. Feels like they've dropped in the shit.

 

[repeater]

Vinny has a house, right? I'm sure the Klepeks would be free to stay on the couch for as long as they like. Dinner at Vinny's would make for a great Premium series too.

Yeah I wonder who has to manage the freelance program too, woof.

 

[neoemonk]

Saw Austin was leaving on Twitter and was hoping it was just a dumb joke. Damn it.

Max would force Pixel to become a member of Paw Patrol.

That would be awesome.

I love Dave Langs sudden bursts in laugh.
