It's not showing up under PocketCast for me. I need it!
The idea was always to have a rotating fourth chair, with Bakalar filling in as the "regular guest". That plan probably hasn't changed, but now they actually have a guest lined up for the next episode. Seems like Vinny generally wants to avoid five people on the podcast.
Yeah, PocketCast has problems with the GB feed(s) at the moment. The RSS feed has been updated, but it doesn't show up on PocketCast. I just listened to it from the site as a backup.
There's a thread about it on the GB forums
sandboxie that shit
or virtualbox an old windows image, exit don't save state, reload original state every time
I mean I guess you could do that if you were paranoid
The Internet still knows you were there tho
Me neither.
Yeah, just makes me sad. I love how when Vinny mentioned the guest for next week and Jeff was like "Wait, what?" Oh well, he will be back(alar)
you and me, vinny. you and me.
Add the premium beastcast feed if you're a premium member. Normal beastcast feed doesn't work here, premium does. This is what you need to type into the app. PocketCasts is struggling with the GB feeds at the moment and it's affecting people differently.
Thanks for the hot tip, for anybody else struggling there was a mistake for the Beastcast link, the actual link is "https://YourGBUsername:GBPassword@www.giantbomb.com/podcast-xml/beastcast-premium/"

It's the Giant Beastcast with Alex "Cyber Diaper" Navarro, Austin "Human Ruffles" Walker, and Vinny "BELLATOR" Caravella!

Not really warming up to Austin, really dunno why though

I like him! He's a good fit with Dan and Jason as a new wave of genuinely excited people joining Giant Bomb. We're almost at a perfect balance of excitement and optimism, and hilarious cynicism and criticism.
Not after 10 eps?

You are not the only one. One word to describe Austin, "superfluous".
I'm starting to forward through every time he opens his mouth.

I didn't even realise The Craddle was out, I had the development team liked on facebook way back in 2012?
really? I don't get that from him at all.

one choice quote for me was him defending himself for not hating pewdiepie that went sorta like "and people were writing me about how pewdipie was not inline with my aesthetic tastes.."
He has some good stuff to say, it's just how he goes more often than not that I wish he'd dial down a notch

Not a big fan of Austin myself, just something about him I don't really like.
I see what you did there
Seriously though, Austin is PhD student - everything he does is gonna be a bit superfluous. He's awesome imo
He's an academic after all.
I think he's a perfect fit in the overall Giant Bomb staff. He's exactly who they needed after Patrick left and balances out Dan too. I think he's a step above Patrick in writing skills and critical thinking too.

That I agree with. Didn't knew he was a PhD student, that probably explains it and my weariness towards him. Sick of grad and phd people

I found Patrick more of a personality, especially when with the rest of the guys.
I know it's early to be judging him but at the moment I can only really go on my initial impressions of Austin and I find him a bit dull, don't really care for the constant reminders that he's an academic and while there is certainly a place for his articles, I'm not particularly interested in reading them.

If there are any words to describe him, it smarmy sure as hell isn't the one that comes to mind.
