Austin just announced he's leaving Giant Bomb next week.
Now to just get rid of Alex and to bring Vinny back to San Francisco.
literally who
Wonderful news. Austin was cancerous and only great things will come of this.

YES HOLY SHIT YES I can watch GBeast QUICK LOOKS AGAIN HAHA YEAAAAH

GOD BLESS YOU SOUTH PARK
It was literally announced within the last five minutes of their last livestream from E3, the official announcement will go up later today.
>>341708135
>Now to just get rid of Alex and to bring Vinny back to San Francisco.
You might as well revive Ryan while you're at it if you're talking things that won't happen.
>>341708135
fucking finally
>>341708359
Check his Twitter
>>341708251
why don't you like him?
I know a lot of you are happy he's gone because of his political leanings, but I'm really going to miss him for his personality. He was funny and had a great chemistry with the GBeast crowd.
Wonder how long it will take tumblr to fall back on the "Giant Bomb is problematic because they don't hire colored people or women" thing again
He wanted to be unemployed like most black guys.
>>341708135
>hating Alex
>>341708659
>liking no fun allowed
I'd like the entire Beast crew to leave GB.
>>341708716
I'd like everyone to leave GB except for Jeff, Brad, and Vinny.
>>341708461
I don't see anything on there, unless I missed it, I suck at reading twitter shit.
this sounds too good to be true.
>>341708716
>hating on Vinny
>ever
it's like you hate fun times or something
>>341708795
While we're at it let's resurrect Ryan already.
Why does giant bomb even bother with an editorial member when they immediately leave to some web2.0 website
this was on the same day that @taswell was closed
>>341708313
but Alex is still there
literally who the fuck are these people

One of the many tweets
>>341708795
Fuck you, Drew and Jason are great.
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.
>>341708391
>you will never get excited for tuesday to listen to 2 hours of Jeff Vinny Ryan and Brad podcasts EVER again
Who /suicidewatch/ here?
>>341708135
Please be real.
>>341708864
As anEnglish majorI would love to do that shit for them and would happily never leave. Maybe I'm just dumb though.
aww man I kinda started to like the schtick the gbeast crew had with their podcasts.
oh well hopefully the new dude is ok
>Mary Kish joins giant bomb
please lord let me fap
Feels like it's been only a few months.
>>341709174
Theres 0% chance of this being the reason
>>341709101
ah ok, other sites are also reporting that he's basically leaving. this is good fucking news, I bet he's going to fucking kotaku or polygon or one of those cancerous journo sites.
now, if only alex would fuck off and cut himself to death, but then again, just one nu male and vinny is a lot more tolerable than 2 nu males and 1 vinny

looks like actually having fun playing videogames is better than being a reactionary hipster SJW faggot
Who is Gita Jackson anyways?
>>341709174
Nope. No chance in hell Jeff would bow to people whining like that.
>>341708313
Oh I didn't realize Alex was leaving too.
And to think I *just* dumped the beastcast a few days ago because of him.
>>341709329
Yes.

Austin is actually relatively well liked on their site. I mean all of the crew is basically, but there has been disdain thrown at Patrick and Alex by the community before, more so than the others.
What other video game sites are in NYC??
>>341709615
na shes too much of an attention whore and im sure she will think that shes too good to be there
>>341709734
A shit ton of numale publications are there.
Say what you will about the guy, at least he put his face and voice out there even though he knew a lot of people would be upset at him. It's real easy to always talk big and tough when you're a faceless anon on 4chan.
>>341709734
He might be working with a dev or something.
>>341709174
Patrick only left cause he willingly left. And now Austin is probably continuing his education or something.
>>341709734
Don't think it'll be a game site.

This makes me very afraid, because whoever replaces him is probably going to be much worse.
Imagine a cross between Patrick and Alex
Imagine it
>>341709774
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.
>>341709791

Anyone who's hired by GB is automatically well liked on their site because the mods purge anyone who doesn't like him.

That's a damn shame.
I'm glad that he's moving onto brighter prospects, but he was a great member of the team.
Godspeed.

I don't think we'll ever truly understand the depths of Dan's madness.

>>341710040
No....

>>341710040
Is there just a perpetual SJW slot in the GB crew? First Patrick, then Austin, now you're suggesting this bitch.
Well they'll need someone with Jeff tier bants so Vinny can finally get his P5 endurance run.
>>341708135
They should just hire Jeff Bakalar instead.
>>341709972
Giant Bomb's official community is made up of sycophants. Jeff could film himself half ass-ing a bunch of generic fighting games and people would applaud.
>>341710032
>ugh another white male?
1) you tried
2) here's your (you)
>>341710206
All of mankind is on the FBI Watch List.
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.
>>341709927
I don't know if Jeff would want to move out east, he's got what sounds like a stable consulting job and he's practically at retirement age already. On the other hand, his kid's already out there.
>>341710259
Jeff is gonna hire someone so much worse. It's 100% for sure gonna be a SJW bright colored hair women esp after that tranny thing happened when they hired Dan
Does Jeff keep Alex and Matt around out of pity?
>>341710387
I think he was mimicking the responses the community would give rather than "baiting ;) epik got dem" posting.
>>341710341
Oh god this does mean we'll never get an Austin/Vinny P5 ER! He was probably the only person besides Vinny would could appreciate it even a little bit.
Truly this is the second or third saddest of days.
>>341710325I liked Patrick. Also liked his focus on horror near the end. Only time I thought he was a complete douche was when he called Nolan North an asshole to his face.
Damn, he must have really been triggered by that south park showcase
>>341710420
B-but they might talk about something political that triggers me! That's not worth improving the entire video game-centric dynamic!
>>341709774
What a brave guy for being liberal in the most liberal city ever.
That's like saying nigger on /v/ expecting a pat in the back

They're obviously going to hire Jeff Bakalar. Who the fuck wants to work for CNET?
>>341710040
Danielle's running ZAM.com now, like I think she's in a senior editor position. I don't know that anyone cares about zam of all websites, but it might be considered a step down going to GB. I bet her girlfriend's looking for work though, /v/ would love that.

>>341710478
Alex is probably loyalty.
Matt in an engineer. He's there to run the site not to appear on video. He's a duder of last resort.
>>341710420
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.
>post yfw the replacement is rich gallup
>>341710593
I don't think he announced it on Twitter at all. It was on the stream, and people have been reacting to it.
>>341710635
I actually think this guy's alright, him and Griffin have a fun dynamic.

Well he has to hire either a woman, nigger or tranny otherwise they get targeted by SJWs.
Which will it be?
>>341710478
It's because of Alex that Jeff has any of the connections he does, as they were friends since they were teenagers and Alex ended up getting a job at Harmonix which happened to be alongside some pretty big names (now). He's important as a friend and as a resource.
>mfw Alex leaves too and Vinny moves back west

No? He's basically a community manager. He makes sure people get t-shirts and don't say mean words in the chat.

I don't know what's lawful or evil about eating too a burrito for lunch and falling asleep in the afternoon. I guess it's evil from his employer's perspective.
>>341710727
He better not. He told me he'll give me a job at his company if I learn Unity.
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.
>>341710836
If it's a full blown tranny i'm 100% legit down with the site.
>>341710420
>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 andJeff. Drew's a cool guy, and has a look of intelligence, but seems like the most ditzy of the group
>>341709197
I miss greaser Brad, he truly looked like a neo-nazi extra from Sons of Anarchy
>>341710856
Vinny wont ever move back. He bought a house and is kinda rooted there.
>>341710634
>I bet her girlfriend's looking for work though, /v/ would love that.
Typing up daily summaries of the gaming reddit front page is a little harder to do when the content you're making is primarily video.

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.
>>341710902
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.
>>341710940
are you the guy who made a rant about how austin brought diversity to giantbomb?
anyway hes replaceable, hes nothing special so deal with it
>>341708135
Who is this guy
Why is he leaving whatever Giant Bomb is
Where is he going to go
How is this going to affect whatever Giant Bomb is
>>341710746
Oh. okay. I hope it's all real. As a site built around personality, being "college'd half black" is fucking retarded.
>>341710478
Matt is almost certainly out of pity.
Alex and Jeff seem like they have a really deep ride-or-die sort of friendship
>>341711065
I could look like drew if I didn't have raccoon eyes
how would you feel if they hire her?
>>341710965
fucking what
drew used to make his own manuals for flight simulators
he's just not great at articulating himself
meanwhile dan is probably 20 IQ points lower than the average of all of Giant Bomb
>>341711167
It's real, he said it on their stream.
>>341710965
Jeff no question about it. He's a true business man and the founder/boss of the company, but more importantly he knows how to talk the talk with higher ups and suits.
>>341710963
Whatever happens the fallout will be entertaining.
>>341711096
because all their friends come from kotaku and gawker who complains about white people and wants diversity
thats pretty much it
>>341711021
I didn't consider this.
>>341711074
>>341711126
Shiiiieeet. Guess I'll have to go look at the archive for comments during their appearance.
>>341710965
Jeff got street smarts
Drew has the most knowledge of history.
Brad was originally the "tech sci guy" but now that just means he occasionally watches documentaries on netflix.
>>341711269
Who's she? She looks tappable.
>>341711283
please have a time stamp. My birthday was yesterday but this would fucking trump it
>>341711351

she is so rape-able
>>341708135
>mfw at first I thought this was some asshole bullshitting, but then I check and it ends up being true

man that johnny v talk was an emotional ride
>>341710965
Drew is smart. He's just awkward and still sorta camera-shy.
>>341711165
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.
>>341711312
he bought a house i think so i doubt it.
>>341711271
>meanwhile dan is probably 20 IQ points lower than the average of all of Giant Bomb
Erm, actually, if you'd watched metal gear scanlon you'd know from several of Dan's stories that his elementary school teachers identified him as being literally a super genius, furthermore,

Not who you're responding to but him spasing out over South Park during the ubi conference pretty much exemplifies why people hate him.
Personally dislike him because he talks too much, and over other people.
>>341711529
hopefully
>>341711494
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
>>341711463
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:
http://www.glixel.com/
So there's like like 90% chance he'll be back at Giantbomb in 2 years.
>>341711715
what seriously?
When on the stream did they call Austin a nigger?
It wasn't in the burner part
>>341711661

>>341711021
u guys all bitched about austin but at least he can talk on a podcast without that horrible nasally voice that comes from getting too many swirlies in high school. if patrick ends up on the beastcast im never listening again
>>341711746
they can just hire a transnigger, problem solved
>>341711715
You forgot:
>Everyone having jokes about advertising all their channels and subs and such.
Its humor brahski.
>>341708135
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.
>>341711746
I feel bad for Bakalr when he inevitably gets the job.
>>341711673
this
him giving Yakuza 5 and Dragon's Dogma real quick looks doesn't make up for how much of an ass he made himself out to be this E3
he was getting a little too comfortable
>>341711715
Maybe enough people cancelled their subs or something since he came on the site. I know I did, and told them why as I was doing so.
>>341711534

Maybe now they'll finally hire a woman.

>>341711819
oh god
oh god
>>341711819
Oh right I forgot about this thing.
Are there any big names attached to it? I remember reading a few headlines about it when it was first announced but I don't remember if it's just a bunch of literal whos or not.

Wait, what happened when Dan joined GB?
>>341711853
>>341711930
The alternative is Jeff being stuck with wet blanket Brad and Vinny being alone.
>>341711819
Man this era of touchy-feely websites fucking sucks.
Alex is awesome.
Can we bring Ryan Davis back to life somehow to make everything better again? I used to love the Giant Bomb, but now I find myself ignoring a majority of their videos. Even the more popular games I'm wanting to check out.
>>341711746
>>341711868
It'll just be another Dan situation, they'll get through it in a weeks time.

>>341711673
>Personally dislike him because he talks too much
Me too. I rarely agree with Austin, but at least unlike Patrick he's reasonable about his opinions and tries to qualify them. I can also appreciate him being quite possibly the only person on the crew that's still invested in the wackier/"anime" side of Japanese gaming.
But he really does rant too much. Listening to the beastcast, you get the sense that the topics he brings the table were brought there specifically so he could get on a soapbox about them.
It really grates on you after a while.
>>341711819
http://archive.is/sUeVx#selection-783.0-783.292

I can't wait for the shitstorm when they hire a white guy.

The big issue was some tranny went insane on twitter and when the community gave the tranny shit for acing like an asshole. Jeff came out and told the fan based to leave the tranny alone and how we are all shitlords
GiantBomb has been slowly decaying ever since ryan died. It wont ever be good again no matter who they hire.

>>341712215
I honestly would've gotten rid of Alex before Austin. Alex is a black hole of humor and fun. I get that he's depressed or whatever and I feel bad for him, but they need to hire somebody ASAP because the Beastcast is going to be miserable until they find a third person
>>341711819
Good, a contain website to shove all the worst journalists into before it sinks in a year or two.
>>341712134
>>341712127
It sounds autistic as fuck but no joke for like a week or so after the news broke about him passing away I kept thinking it might be an elaborate joke.
Like he'd gotten married a few days before he passed and he was on honeymoon so maybe they thought it would be funny to go all out with this, only to have him show up the next podcast with zero explanation.
They're going to hire the most non binary, pink Skrillex haired woman possible. Mark my words. At least Austin talked about cool shit like Gundam. What's coming after him will have you begging for that fat fuck.

It was only 1 show short of last years, because Square decided to do theirs days early.

>>341712408
It was such a tragedy to me because he brought something out of Jeff and they played to each other well.
>>341709806
I agree. People here are too concerned with da ess jay dubya boogeyman. If nothing else, Austin was one of the more entertaining members of the crew and had great chemistry with Vinny.
Plus, he likes KOTOR 2, so he's A-OK with me.
>>341712447
>>341712539

>>341712654
Supposedly it was sleep apnea which is fucked cause I'm pretty sure he was getting tested/treated for it only a little while before.
>>341712353
they shoulda picked up Bossman when he was free, him and Drew would be perfect
>>341712447
Lol she's just mad because she got drunk on camera and got banned forever from GB
>>341712629
either way, I don't want to watch/listen to gbeast. Alex's voice sounds like he's never gotten over the fact that we wasn't part of the cool kids in highschool AND that he smokes weed, s0 he's s0 engliightened duuude
>>341711661

>>341712752

>>341712743
I enjoy it when Danny joins in on the weird European sports games, but not much else
someone post smug Alex images.
>>341712743
He was alright while he was in the UK - I vaguely remember some semi decent banter between Jeff and Danny on one of his trips over. Once he moved over to the US permanetly he become a try hard progressive.
>>341712629
Not only attempted, but kept the pace as well. I'd rather trade Alex or Dan for a wildcard.
>>341712934
Listen to the Danswers podcast and you'll get to find out how much of a wet blanket Danny really is.
>>341712772
I definately recall pictures of telemetry for a sleep study not too long before his death. I believe he made some lame Bane jokes about the CPAP nasal cannula. Sad--not surprising considering his size and smoking--but sad none-the-less. I came to appreciate him after his death once I realized he kept the Bombcast in check from SJW tirades and prolonged wrestling talk.
>>341712479
>>341712743
>>341712934
Danny was never that great. Everyone just liked him because, "oh he's got an irish accent? he must be witty and funny then!"
Only somewhat decent on Danswers, otherwise into le trash.

Dan and who?
how do you guys keep up with all these e-celebs?

why can't paper mario just be good again. N64 game is still a quintessential game for the system
>>341712714
Twitter addicts are strange. They often act like they're using a private chat service and then sperg out when someone outside of their friend circle replies to them.
>>341713139
Dan and Jason.
>>341713184
I don't have any real friends, so I have to relate to some group of people online.
Not an ironic response, I'm being serious.
>>341713184
By not barging into random threads to tell others how cool we are for not participating.
>>341713139
Jason---he's a video producer along with Drew and Vinny. He occasionally appears on QLs of fighting games or anime titles. Based on his one apperance in Danswers--he's had a rough life of child abuse and teenage pregnancy. Seems alright but offers nothing to the conversation when he's on the podcasts and is shut down by Jeff instantly.
>>341713290
did someone say how cool they are for not following them?
Isn't this the niggerfaggot that got triggered at Witcher 3 not having any black people in it?

>>341713089
I won't go so far as to I like Dan, but I find him entertaining.
The thing is, yeah he's a shitter and a retard, but that's also his established gimmick at GB. Nobody ever takes him seriously.
He's kind of interesting person, in that he's a complete madman and not only does he know it, but everyone around him knows it too.
>>341713389
At this point, only Jason.
>>341713425
you wouldn't be able to tell with all the weebshit threads going around
i guess we can all agree that this is our only replacement and highly qualified to be part of the giantbomb team. i hope they consider this woman to make giantbomb great again
>>341713389
Alex probably smokes something
>>341711941
They should hire Johnny
>>341713450
we were talking about the Gamespot host/occasional editor Danny O'Dwyer not Dan at GB.
>>341713389
I had a cigarette with Rorie at one of the Pax Prime things at that bar in Seattle.
That was actually pretty fun. I got shithouse drunk for free, and got to meet those guys.
>>341713549
he owns a bong so yeah
>>341713297
ehhh, I find Jason to be pretty dry and/or adding to the conversation when he's asked.
dry is good btw
do you think there will be a lot of drama when the new hire comes?

>That feel when Dan is literally me
>>341713759
Yep. It was on that scoops and wolf thing or whatever it's called.
>>341713184
If you keep up with the podcasts--including the premium podcasts for subscribers--you'll get more than enough information on all of their habits, history and sexual proclivities.
I burn through 5-8 podcasts a day on night shift, so I have---willingly or otherwise--become a walking encyclopedia for GB, CWC and handful of other internet personalities.
>>341713594
The absolute ONLY WAY to avoid it within their community would be if they hire one of the popular circlejerk community members. Otherwise the community will shriek and scream if they hire anything but a tranny no matter if it's a flaming homosexual black man or anything else it simply won't be enough for a big chunk of them.
As for the other side of things, like /v/, unless they hire someone for their actual talent or charisma (the latter more important, as this is an entertainment site, not an editorial one) that would go very well with Vinny and Alex, then there will definitely be drama over it too because they'll be hiring based on dumb bullshit.
Austin was alright. He did get a bit too ranty at times but he was alright. I feel like he's leaving right when he was hitting a sweet spot.
>>341712629
Fucking this. Alex tries his hardest to ruin every video he appears in. Jeff is negative and cynical most of the time too, but somehow he can do it without sounding like the whiniest person I've ever heard.
>>341713297
I like Jason, he's the only person other than Austin who gives "anime" games a chance. And his wife seems to be pretty based.
Besides, he seems to have a long history with Dan, and has managed to maintain his sanity in spite of that. That makes him a good guy in my book.
how long was he there?
>>341713542
being involved in giantbomb would be a big step down in her career
>>341710964
>but every time I've heard Austin talk about rap it's the most surface level shit.
Holy fuck that reminds of the GoTY podcasts. "This game's soundtrack is like Timbaland scoring a John Carpenter movie!" - music proceeds to evoke neither of those concepts.
>>341713605
A good time? The NHL quick look is one of the best
>>341713849
Vinny gives anime games a chance but only a few.
>>341713848
hopefully not :^)
>>341713594
It's inevitable. If they hire a white guy, people will complain that its just another white guy. If they hire a black guy people will complain that there's no women. Every subset will get upset that they aren't being represented and there's only one position to fill.
>>341713785

>>341713785
>I mainly play vidya on consoles
Not accurate, Dan literally said on the stream today that he mostly plays on his PC at this point
>>341713850
Austin? Around a year or so. I believe he was on the first Beastcast and they just hit fifty and change on a weekly broadcast.
>>341713850
They said it's just under a year when announcing him leaving.
wonder how long he gave jeff to find a replacement. Jeff hasn't said about finding another person so maybe it just came up with the past week. it took months to secure funding for their previous hire so we may be left with vinny and suicide boy for some time :(
>>341713828
>The absolute ONLY WAY to avoid it within their community would be if they hire one of the popular circlejerk community members.
Oh man, if the community and the mods were suck-ups enough, grabbing a hire directly from them will set them into overdrive.
>>341713901
Alex actually scored a joke off this with his recital of Ludacris' Move Bitch in rhythm to a Galax-z track.

>>341713828

>>341708135
Who else would watch Giantbomb if it was just Vinny and that dude who likes Simulators, with occassional stuff by Jeff.
That's what I'd enjoy.
I hate brad. I hate patrick. I don't even know who Alex and Austin are. I left GiantBomb when patrick was in every video. Then when fatty died there was wayyy too much brad for my liking. Fuck the whole site desu famalam.

I'll honestly miss him. He meshed well with the rest of the team.

And maybe he actually was fired, and then obviously they didn't tell the audience that.

IIRC he also gave Under Night and Dengeki Bunko fair appraisals while everyone except Jeff just kinda scoffed at him.
He was also the only one interested in Bamco's E3 booth this year for something other than Tekken 7.
>>341714509
It's literally just being a retard and not understanding you should put a hyphen there instead because it's grammatically correct, wherein -- isn't at all. You're an idiot, you aren't special - learn how English works and you'll be better off for it.
Mildly off-topic, now that the doc died, is there another place to get links to stuff?
This really bugs me, honestly. Austin has been the main component to what I felt was a more enthusiastic Giant Bomb, an energy that has been really reassuring when I have felt the crew start to grow more cynical. I'm going to miss him, the Beastcast won't be the same. I hope they bring someone on with same fresh eyes and understanding-yet-critical take on games and the industry at large.
>>341714517
Dengeki Bunko is a fucking terrible game so Jeff scoffing at him over it makes sense. It was beyond barebones and has barely any roster - all of which play the same aside the animations matching their source counterparts. 90% of the cast was locked off as "support" and the gameplay consisted of clunky unresponsive bullshit that wasn't fun.

I haven't even played the thing, I was just surprised he was willing to give those games lip service when GB has generally ignored Japanese games outside of big stuff like Nintendo and Metal Gear for a long time now.

What about Persona?
I'm really gonna miss that synergy in the beastcast's. The Austin / Alex / Jeff / Vinny combo worked so well and their improv bits were great.
>>341714225
>never heard a single bad word spoken about him
That's because the mods delete criticism of all kinds.
Since I stayed away from his Twitter I never really disliked Austin. The Beastcast had some really annoying SJW segments at times that he was more than willing to jump into but so were Vinny and especially Alex.
If you could get past that shit Austin was the only one on that entire site that gave strategy and weeb games a chance and also he fit in nicely with the rest of the Beastcast for not being a bunch of console plebs.
>>341708135
good news, i stopped listening to the beastcast because of him and stopped watching beast content because he might be in it.
he's rude to the others, he challenges them on opinions he disagrees with but when they challenge him back he's like "that's cool, that's your opinion" completely condescending.
he's a SJW too and he brings it up too often.
they should hire that CNET guy, i can't remember his name because it's been a while since i heard him talk.
i liked that guy, he might have had some off opinions but he was never scared to be challenges or to back down.
Austin also lacks personality, i don't like Dan as person, he's a bad person but atleast he has the personality to show it, Austin is just kinda there and uses his smart-card whenever he needs to shut down a conversation.How sad is it that my main source of news has become 4chan?
>>341714795
When fill your life with imaginary fake friends, you'll understand.
>>341713987
They're basically the horseshoe version of r9k, socially maligned losers except instead of hating women they worship them and put all their value in being acknowledged by women

Lang Zone just seems like a massive phony thing. like do they pay John Vignochi to act stupid for 2 hours? thats what it feels like
And why is Adam Boyes there? just for fun. i find it very hard not to see a hidden agenda
>>341714802
Hes acting like its almost at the same level
>>341714959
>Austin was the only one on that entire site that gave strategy and weeb games a chance
Wasn't he the guy who said Yakuza 5 had worse combat than Batman?
>>341715118

austin is a fucking bitch
>>341713849
Jason getting way into trying to explain all the Ranma 1/2 characters on that ranking of fighters video was one of the best segments in recent history
>>341711814
Yoo, what day did this happen? I want to watch
>>341714932
Well yeah. Nintendo and MG were just examples, of course if you sit down and think about it there are a number of Japanese-made games that they discuss.
It's just anything they deem too "anime" I guess.
>>341715083
there's no agenda, you're just retarded
the three of them used to work together at midway
Reminder
>this look Alex and Austin gave eachother when the word 'coon' was said for the first time
gamergate was right
>>341714932
They didn't give a shit about P3 and that's when Persona did get popular in the west, P4 was very hyped up even by semi-normies.
>>341711271
I think Dan mentioned Drew tries real hard to think of ways to articulate himself better so that's why he's taking a bit longer.
>>341714567
well, you're retarded. Typing on 4chan isn't the same as a thesis. I use double hyphens as a pause to accentuate a thought instead of parenthesis. It works in simulating a conversation.
btw, was there no deal at all about austin? It just seemed all casual up til the last second.
>>341714959
You pretend his twitter is where he was an asshole, but he'd spend nearly an hour of every beastcast episode talking about his agenda bullshit. Hell, that most recent (or second to most recent) one he spent nearly 40 minutes going on about how the egyptian girl in overwatch having an indian costume was super offensive cultural appropriation.
last week i heard him complain about a pharah skin in overwatch because pharah isn't native american but her suit looks native american so obviously that's really racist
good riddance
>>341710040
She works for Zam.
>>341711814
>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.
To be fair, that South Park segment was fucking awful. The cringe was almost overwhelming.
>>341715083
It's because you don't have any friends
>>341710976
he still has that haircut, it's just hard to see from the frontangle they usually film at
>e-celebs
remind me again how this is releveant to video games?
fucking milenialls
>>341715083
Because they've been good friends since they originally got jobs in the industry at all, so they've maintained that friendship instead of letting it die just because they don't work together anymore. Do you know anybody that doesn't work with you? Then you should understand. They always come together for this too for years now.
>>341711976
Why, so she can sit there awkwardly and not feel comfortable enough to contribute to the conversation? It would never work out.
>>341715267
Vinny played and enjoyed P3.
>>341715394
he wasnt getting triggered because it wasnt funny
wouldn't niggers be accostumed to being made fun of all the time to the point of being desensitized? the idea that hearing 'coon' would trigger a nigger is lol worthy
>>341709806
>genuinely had good chemistry
no they didn't, the only two things they had in common was gundam and shittier anime.
That's it.
>>341715410
shhh women are gossiping
>>341715394
Yet the "cringe" didn't exist at the time of their complaints because it was literally the moment the game came up on stage at all that they mentioned The Coon and that's when Austin and Alex got very uppity very fast.
>>341715410
Dude are you like 40?
Cause otherwise you're a millennial.
>>341715410

I'm going to miss him on the BeastCast so much... :(

In his defense, that also had to do with the native american skin in question not being very well-researched.

I was so pissed when they had that atlus faggot on and they acted like persona 4 was the first game atlus made (besides Jeff mentioning Persona 1 once).
Like they didnt even mention SMT IV Final
>>341715553
>find something better to do than obsessing over losers, losers

The thing is, what they showed actually was offensive - which would have been fine, but there was no punchline.
>>341715489

Even accidentally offending a nigger will get you fired and shunned from society

If Trey's wife's son doesn't mind why in the fuck does the faggot SJW Alex
>>341708864
why do they bother with editorial at all?
most of it i don't read, especially the shilling that austin and his friends introduced.
and the rest is stuff that you could either read elsewhere, that doesn't matter, or that would be 3lines to describe
>>341715632
>was offensive
To who? How? All they showed was basic references to the show so you know "oh this is about The Coon and friends arc of the show, alright, I liked/did not like that arc now I know what to expect from the main focus of the game.".
austin didn't fucking quit.
fuck everyone who tricked me.
Austin is a tremendously smart guy with the right balance of humor and interests that has filled a big gap in the site: mainly a lot of Japanese games and dense strategy stuff as shown in his recent coverage for Stellaris and Total War: Warhammer. Most of all he has amazing chemistry with the rest of the team. He has looked at home on the podcasts and features since day one.
Damn, I'm sad to hear he's leaving. Big loss for the site.
His rapport with Vinny and Alex has been legendary, even in the short amount of time he's been with us. I just wish we had a little more time...
>>341715592
I think its the term for "Youre saying something I dont like because of somethibg bad"
Apart from that one stupid article about The Witcher 3 not having enough brown people in it can you guys please tell me one time when he was annoyingly overt with his "SJW" politics?
I don't follow him on Twitter and I've never really heard anything on the podcast that warrants the Patrick level of hate he seems to be getting.
>>341709505
they should hire someone fat that knows her stuff and doesn't give a shit about what other's sayaka female ryan
>>341715592
I was discussing the tranny characters in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear. No insults, no slants, literally just making the case that this doesn't seme to be particularly good or fitting writing and got banned for it.
I wish I was exaggerating.
>>341715724
hi austin
>>341715667
Because the Coon is literally a 7 year old joke and they have no excuse for getting offended by it now
Austin is incredibly intelligent and talented. He brought a ton to Giant Bomb in little more than a year on its staff, yet I can't help but think he'll soon prove that it was too small a pond for him. So while I'll miss his contributions dearly, I take comfort in the excitement he expressed for his next step.
May he rave on forevermore in the chat.
>>341715724
bye austin
PAY DEBT DUMB NIGGER
>>341715724
>tremendously smart
Show me where he ever gave that impression to you because I don't believe anyone could truly think that. He seemed averagely intelligent - another everyman, which is totally fine, it's what I am and what most people are. He never seemed more than that, especially given how much he relies on deflecting rather than facing any argument at all. A sign of someone who isn't that smart but can speak charismatically enough to make people think he is.
>>341715724
>Most of all he has amazing chemistry with the rest of the team.
The only person he has chemistry with is Alex and that's just so they can be horrible together and have a power advantage that means Vinny can never disagree with them.
>>341715807

>I can't help but think he'll soon prove that it was too small a pond for him
This will end up being the fate of every editorial news person who comes to Giant Bomb.
As long as the site focuses on video content, the writing portion will always be pushed off to the side, no matter how much the staff claims to be "working on it".
Not that this is a bad thing, of course. Video is what GB was founded on and it's what they do best. They don't even really need a "news guy".
>>341715592

Hello, children. Criticizing Scientology is incredibly racist.
>>341715745
If you truly listen to the beastcast then I don't get how you can ask this when almost every single one of the "episodes" has had at least a 30 minute stretch of him going on non-stop about some bullshit from his social justice agenda.
>>341715721
please give a timestamp or any proof. Unless Austin said something in a lower tone, I didn't catch anything like "i'm done with giant bomb" or whatever
>>341715636

>>341715862

Not in America. At least he's using it to "better" himself--even if his degree is in some bullshit like Video Game Social Theory

Don't forget he was somehow fine with Polygon titling their Watch Dogs review "Spook Town".

what the fuck are y'all even saying? coon is the same as whitey. do you niggas care when someone says that. fucking shit,
>>341710420
I thought it was modded pasta at first. It sure reads like one.
Austin was pretty funny and liked deep strategy and Japanese games so I'll miss him. People complain about him but he is way better than klepic was in every way
>>341715184
He did it because of his retarded bullshit can't objectify the women, but don't worry you didn't miss shit. The hostess clubs in 5 seem way more well made than before until you realize every character (aside Kiryu who has 1 more) has only 1 girl they can ever see and that the girls all repeat the same exact lines besides their few sub-story specific ones. Not only will the same one girl repeat the same shit often, but even other girls will repeat the same shit as the other ones, it's terribly lazy.
>>341716219

Holy shit, never knew.
It makes all the shit they get ten times funnier.
I wonder if everytime he had to look at the chat, people would just spam nigger and coon a lot. lmao. other than that how the fuck does a grown man get triggered by that shit
>>341716219
>funny
>liked deep strategy
>Japanese games
you're wrong on all of those.
>>341716280
quiet, child. the adults are having a serious conversation about video game journalist internet personalities.

That's Black Privilege for ya.
>>341716412
He looks totally fine and he's famous and has got a lot of money.
>>341716346
no, people don't want to be banned from the chat
also he's most likely not looking at the chat but rather at messages directed to them
>>341710530
Yes because brining in your retarded social justice agenda that has fuckall to do with games is just triggering.
Consider suicide.
>>341716326
>It makes all the shit they get ten times funnier.
this, he's getting lectured by guys like alex or austin or the kotaku writers who maybe went to school 7 years ago with one black dude, they're teaching someone about 'le racism is bad'
>>341716412
don't you mean how does a man with so much money end up with someone that mediocre
I didn't mind Austin. He was annoying sometimes but was mostly alright
The worst part is that I have a sneaking suspicion that they will hire someone 10x worse
>>341716450
>He looks totally fine
not when you come him to her
>he's famous and has got a lot of money.
of-fucking-course
>>341716280
I didn't say that. I'm just saying I can tolerate Austin easier because he can be funny and it actually seems like he genuinely likes playing video games unlike Patrick.
>>341716519
>The worst part is that I have a sneaking suspicion that they will hire someone 10x worse
This
>it's real
Aw man and i got so exited over calling him Coon and friends.
>>341716519
they can't possibly hire someone worse than Dan. But really, they only hired Austin because he's a Patrick clone, i predict that they'll just hire another Austin clone and so on.
>>341716219
This. He was never annoying in quick looks, and was loads better at them than Alex, and his SJW shit never really went beyond Twitter and an occasional comment on the Beastcast.
>>341716519
If it's a woman there's a massive chance it will be someone they constantly have to walk on eggshells around being careful of what they say and she'll suck all the fun out of the room. However there's also a slight chance of it being someone like Mary Kish which would save them.
>>341716621
they could go with a woman this time, austin's spot is basically the 'token minority' spot
>>341716540
Patrick has proven time and time again that he loves to play video games.
Austin has proven that he loves to make video games racist and sexist and not actually talk about the gameplay.
>>341716672

The fuck are you talking about? They didn't say shit about it other than commenting on how awkward the South Park presentation was.

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you okay?
>>341716776
That was Polygon I think.
>>341716672

Regardless of whether a woman hire will make the staff walk on eggshells, the community will be put on ULTRA lockdown. You'll not only get banned for the usual like saying that she sucks, but you'll also get banned if you say that she's hot.

>fuck off nigger, they were triggered by the word 'coon' not the way in which it was used, you fucking faggot
You're extrapolating a hell of a lot from their reactions. I don't recall them accusing Trey Parker of being racist at all. Alex just said to Austin that 'the Coon' is Cartman's superhero alter ego. That's it.
>>341716881
Now there's a real faggot. Kuchera's even worse than Patrick, always has been.
>>341716776
nope
ben kuchera is a bigger numale than patrick
at least patrick changed into an sjw (if you can respect a person who can change then he has that atleast)
ben is literal human trash, waste of oxygen and a gigantic hyprocrite
>>341716881
games "journos" have turned gross into a hated word for me
>>341717174
The words 'gross' and 'problematic' have pretty much become cues for me to ignore what someone is saying. If you can't formulate a coherent argument without using intellectually dishonest weasel words, I'm not interested.
>>341716913
You seem upset
>>341717015
u a str8 dude. Thanks.
I just watched but got bored and wasn't paying austism. Someone said last 5 min too.
ANYWAY this is some happy shit. Has a GB employee left as fast as he has?
>>341717303
best be joking negro, I'm loving this day, no more niggers at Giantbomb, I'm literally gonna have a barbecue because of this shit later
>>341717307
>Has a GB employee left as fast as he has?
They had those interns a while ago
>>341717418
i want in on that bbq
>>341717449
>while ago
hun, what year do you think it is?
>>341717449
Interns are literally by every definition not employees. They are literally, as in the ENTIRE POINT OF THE POSITION, someone who is NOT an employee but is able to get work experience so they can become employed in the future.
>>341716807
you can easily discern what was on their mind. no one said shit after the word 'coon' was dropped
>>341717449
as long as they're not anti-cis white guys/pro racial/rory then it should be ok.
>>341717440
I fully expect things to come full circle at some point if the current trend continues. White people being the bottom of modern society while being treated like they are the top can't continue forever.
>>341717532
It has been longer than I think hasn't it
>>341717418
You don't really have a lot to celebrate, do you?
