Woah! Ben Pack! I've been listening to Podburglers recently which he is on and this is a neat surprise!

 

[RepairmanJack]

We got new hires!

 

[daveo42]

Ben and Abby.

Not sure who Abby is, but seems like solid pics. I like the Texas pronunciation of "Mass Effect 2" better.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Yall ready for the return of Daily Dota?

 

[Lunar FC]

GBWest continues with the inbreeding, hiring already known white dude friends of the site.

GBeast hires new blood. And a girl.


GBeast continues winning.

My thoughts as well.

Hopefully she becomes a regular on video/pods.

Dude I'm sure Vinny and Jeff both had input on both hires. It's not like they're two separate companies.

Shoot all video of Ben with his head out of the shot.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Well people wanted an unknown... Abby Russell has 650 followers on twitter. I'm excited about new blood on both coasts. How the hell is Beast going to fit another person in that room...

Oh geez, I forgot that Dan and Austin weren't there at the same time while reading the article...

They're going to have to evict the Dangler to make room for a ceiling chair.

 

[strafer]

That's awesome !

 

[Master_Funk]

Hopefully Abby is a permanent beast cast member.

 

[Incandenza]

Peeping her twitter and it looks like Abby is a recent college grad? Yay for young hires!

 

[Backfoggen]

I hope Ben brings some cool weird games to UPF. Ben, if you read this, bring some cool weird games to UPF.

 

[Stairouais]

Her favorite game is obviously Mass Effect 2 but she has a weird thing where she pronounces "Mass" as “Kat” and "Effect 2" as “amari Damacy.” Probably a Texas thing.

I like her already.

 

[styl3s]

Ben has over 5000 hours logged in Dota 2, but swears that ”at least half of that has to be idle time."

We need to initiate a DOTA talk ban on the podcast ASAP.

She also really likes Red Dead Redemption.
She has a cat named Tater Tot
She also has a cat named Dirt Bike

I already like Abby.

 

[robotrock]

[oti]

What else does Ben like? Other than.... MOBA "yuck". I need to know.

 

[Gobias]

West's new video producer better be like 4'11" to average things out

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Excited for both hires, happy they are finally here

 

[Hindl]

Hooray

West's new video producer better be like 4'11" to average things out

GBWest to hire Wee Man

 

[MontyBrown]

Abby looks like she could be cool.

Ben was alright as an intern but not excited.

They should hire Jason's kid

im sure this will go over well

 

[StoveOven]

Congrats to both new hires. I look forward to seeing them in stuff.

 

[Consequence]

Is Ben's MMR higher than Brad's? That could be what finally leads to Brad's long rumoured departure.

Spoiler

it is 100% higher than mine, whatever it is

 

[SocksAndShoes]

She has a cat named Tater Tot

Sold.

I don't know Ben but I'm going to say he's better at Dota than Brad.

You just gave half this thread a stroke.

 

[Zornack]

I knew Patrick would be back.

 

[oti]

They should've hired at least one European though, obviously. Preferably for East. They could've schooled Dan on what the difference between Europe and the EU is. Week in week out. Quality #content right there.

what a nightmare

 

[Incandenza]

BUT WHAT ARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON WRESTLING

 

[kiguel182]

New hires! Can't wait to see them in content.

Vinny's text was lovely and funny.

Ben is another Dota fan. As someone how would love to get into Dota but has no time and is trying to play League instead I'm assuming I'll be reinstalling Dota soon...

 

[Volotaire]

Yay, new hires. Exciting times ahead.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I hope her cat Dirt Bike isn't named after the baby from Disney's Doug.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Sold.

Yeah, pretty much. lol

 

[daveo42]

Do I lose hope now or later when DOTA takes over the bombcast?

did you accidentally describe yourself

 

[NumberThree]

Abby has cats so she's cool

Gonna have to wait until I see some Ben content to judge him

 

[SexyFish]

 

[Xater]

Btw Abby has the best pinned tweet.

Edit: just a little too late.

 

[Phatmac]

The most important question is if any of the new hires like anime. Do they?

 

[| Praxis |]

Congratulations to the two new members, looking forward to seeing and hearing them in future content.

BURN IT ALL DOWN... Wait no. That's insensitive.

NEIN!

[wild_fire987]

Well Abby's pinned tweet tells me all I need to know about her, and I like it!
