Austin's probably leaving because so many people can't stand him. Same reason as Patrick. Hopefully next time they'll hire someone that isn't so noisy and pushy about their bullshit opinions on a website for video game news. That's the reason why people liked Giant Bomb in the first place.

When did he do that? All he did was pander to the exact audience GB has and the majority of video games has as the loudest majority currently. He didn't go against any grain, he never put himself out in front of "a lot of people who would be upset at him" any more than shitposting on a tumblr does.

I hate every single one of you motherfuckers. You latched on to his social justice activism and never considered the fact that he's the best goddamn thing to happen to Giant Beast. do you realize that when Austin Walker joined, Vinny got an improv partner that he hasn't had since the days of Jeff or Ryan?

You didn't pay attention to that shit because you were all sitting in a corner crying because he mentioned women's rights or race or whatever for five minutes out of an hour long quick look.

Did you realize that Jeff finally had someone to talk about hip-hop with after Ryan died? Do you didn't, you bitches. You fucking cheered when Jeff lost the last person who he could identify with about obscure rap music.

Did you realize that Alex Navarro finally had one real, true friend in all this? Austin watched Alex's cat when Alex was jetsetting around Asia for a few weeks. Alex and Austin formed a bond of friendship.

And you pieces of shit--you bastards cheer at the end of one of the best things to happen to giant bomb. Disagree with him about politics all you want--I certainly did. But Ausitn Walker was a good man, and you fucking swine didn't appreciate him.

He made it sound like he's still gonna be on the Beastcast at least for the next episode or two so I wouldn't worry too much unless you're only in this for the quick looks.

Considering Bakalar technically isn't an employee I could totally see him staying on the cast so long as his new job will let him.

I've missed the past 2 live shows due to seeing pic related. How has is been? Also is OP trolling or not? My dream choice to join would be Jeff Green.

Did I miss Lang & Johnny V?

I could be wrong, but a large portion of people who seem to be happy he's leaving don't seem to care for GB anyway. So, congrats, I guess? A site you don't like won't have a dude you dislike anymore.

>You fucking cheered when Jeff lost the last person who he could identify with about obscure rap music.
I don't listen to the podcast much anymore, but every time I've heard Austin talk about rap it's the most surface level shit.

Nothing at the level of the old bay area scene that you'd only know if you grew up around here or places like KC like Jeff and Ryan would.

So here's a question: which member of giant bomb/beast is the least stupid? I'm betting my money on Vinny and Jeff. Drew's a cool guy, and has a look of intelligence, but seems like the most ditzy of the group

Why do these people want diversity so badly? It makes zero sense to me. I don't mind it, but it shouldn't be a fucking priority. Give someone who fits the job the best, the fucking job.

You missed a bunch of awkward indie devs, but the annual drunken rambling of Dave Lang and Johnny V was top notch as usual. And yes Austin did announce that he is moving on to some mystery project next week.

He's Austin Winsrome. A member of the giant bomb who make videos about the know how on rhythm games, and new cameras. He is leaving because during their last show, everyone was commenting racial slanders towards him for several hours and he had to leave the stream. With him leaving there will no longer be any black people in the giant bomb therefore giant bomb is finished.

She's been gone from Kotaku for a hell of a long time now and the day she left she hinted at something 'big' next so I doubt it unless Austin has been planning this for months and months now.

If anything he's joining up with whatever unannounced thing she's a part of, if she's still a part of anything at all.

Seriously, they're fucked. If they hire another black man, the sjws will string them up for hiring another man. If they hire a woman they'll be upset that she's white. If they hire a black woman, they'll be upset that IT'S 2016 AND THERE'S LITERALLY NOT A SINGLE TRANSGENDERED PERSON ON THE BOMBCAST I LITERALLY CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW

oh please he just got fucking triggered about how Cartman's superhero getup is The Coon despite the fact that Cartman's whole shtick is being the most racist, most sexist character in all of South Park. He tried going on a tirade and get the rest of the guys to join his side but unfortunately they're all smarter than him to fall for that shit.

Seems like Austin's probably going to this:

I had no personal beef with Austin. He was--for all intents and purposes--a "better" Patrick. Sure he had underlying feminist and BLM beliefs but they were often push aside for discussions about Mecha, anime, roleplaying and hip-hop. Seemed like a guy who was just a touch diluted by academia but otherwise fun.

I'll miss him...wonder if this leaves the door open for a new editor at GBE.
