Thats the same Ben that interned them years ago right?

Im going to give Ben a couple chances before dropping out of GB. The podcast has been pretty rough the last couple months, and last GOTY show was the worst one yet.

An anon in another thread already went through the trouble of finding dirt on her.

She isn't QT, so I'm ready to hate her.

>That's all for now, but we're not quite done on this front. So you'll probably see some more news along these lines later on in the year.

Who else?

>>375630417
They hired Herman Munster

i love the beastcast

girl seems "quirky" and annoying, dude might be alright.

>>375630292
>two more whites

Problematic. At least one's a feminist.

They hired Kingtern Ben? Maybe these guys are alright. He was always cool when he was interning for them at the old office.

Don't know about the GBE hire though. Is she a radicalised liberal marxist like patrick & austin? Her twitter doesn't really give a good insight into her character.

>>375630643
>went through the trouble of finding dirt on her.

That is literally the first tweet you see when you visit her twitter. It's pinned.

/v/ btfo after saying the games press just hire their buddies.

Did they only hire a woman because of the backlash last time? Let's be honest here

>>375630862
It's a really bad joke and it's pinned.

I'm going to give them a chance. I like the idea of jaded female, like Jeff's chubby friend. She was great.

So Patrick Klepek became a woman and they rehired him?

>>375630937
and production, vinny said something about getting someone to help with that iirc

I don't care about East, because it's already shit with Alex and Dan, so the woman can't make it any worse, and even if she could, it'd be negligible.
Hope this Ben dude isn't terrible, though, West is in need of non-boring people to bounce off Jeff.

>>375630959

I'm going to reserve judgement until we get some pics of her feet.

I mean, it's an unfunny joke and also it grosses me out, but it's considerably worse if you looked at it and decided "Yeah, whenever anyone goes to my twitter, that's the first thing I want them to read"

I'll give her a chance, I suppose.

No SJW shit on her twitter. She probably is liberal but not having any of that on her twitter is a good sign that she doesn't talk about it nonstop. Only game she seems to talk about recently is BOTW.

To be fair she is hired for a technical position. She probably won't be on camera all the time.

Looked through their twitters.

The guy seems OK, doesn't give me the impression of being stand out good but also not complete cringe, don't even remember him from the Whiskey days. The womyn just screams "female """"""comedian"""""" to me. She has high cringe potential but comparing her to Klepek and Walker she's like maybe two tiers lower on the cringe metric judging by twitter alone.

Meh. No glaring red flags with the new hires. No reason to start saying the site has been saved either. Gotta wait and see.

>>375632424
>Is it even related to video games?
Yes. He's just seeing how people experience with video games around the world. I trust him to not SJW it up.

He's going to Ukraine first, which will feature a lot of STALKER and Metro, I imagine.

>>375631245
I don't really have a problem with people using Giant Bomb to go somewhere else, especially if it means they're running a site like Austin and don't have to go through the preview/review grind anymore, because that sounds like a terrible way to both work and play video games. As long as they contribute to the site while they're there (and while people here disagree I thought Austin was good, especially on the podcast where he clicked with Vinny).

Like, would you expect anyone to stay in a role like that long-term? Brad seems happy, but Brad's basically a houseplant, they give him water and sunlight and the occasional Bojangles biscuit and he's fine.

>>375632175
When Jeff embedded the bombcast into his own podcast it was magical.

Do you think Jeff would sacrifice his wife to have Ryan back?

>>375631918
Yes. Not sure how "going out of my house" would help me find girls playing videogames but I do that.

I also have been a mod on a gaming forum for multiple years. And guess what... girls never get as engrossed by any hobby whatsoever. Especially not video games. Many chicks I got to know played Sims, or Zelda, Animal Crossing.... or Harvest Moon. But it isn't comparable to people like us.
They never go hardcore, and usually stick to their very few games. And that is true for basically every other hobby out there as well.

>>375632808
I'd be very surprised if that were true. But if you tell the truth, good for you. In my old forum we also had a few girls that played (few) RPGs. Mostly FF. But those were girls from the 90s. And such girls are even more rare now than they were before, with the advent of mobile gaming on smartphones.

>>375633171
He's been on vacation, I think he probably hasn't had time to play yet. He's probably getting a thousand questions a day from people about it on his tumblr while he's still trying to think of what to name his MC.

I usually easily and happily ignore the GB community, but it's still bizarre to me how much they freaked out over him and Vinny half-assing it through Persona 4. Read the comments below some of the mid-run episodes, there are people practically pasting entire faqs every day and flipping out because they won't play optimally.

Maybe that's because he and his wife went and did whatever and not him alone. Jesus, you faggots get triggered over every single woman you read about.

How do you feel about your mother anon?

>>375633543
It really is Patrick wtf

In your opinion does this bode well or ill?

I think it makes her more likely to be cool, but I can also see her being the typical ugly feminist.

>>375633501
I rather hear "we" with an implied sense of wife/gf over "MY WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND I" every single time. It's a lot more selfless.

>>375633625
He should just not mention his wife. Jeff has mentioned hating those types of couples and people, and he became them.

He didn't even mention his gf for the longest time, then the next time we hear they are getting married, then he's a "we" guy.

>>375633673
Worth watching Vinny's stream of it or the one on the GB site?

Definitely seems more likely to have a down to earth personality because of that but she could be what you said. Might just be in a Drew role and not saying much.

Seems like the chick was hired partly to help vinny with video production. The fact that she posses a practical skill raises my opinion of her.

Now we know why she is into videogames

how come that for a job, which at this point is more about being entertaining and being in front of a camera than about videogames, 2 people are hired that have apparently never been in front of a camera?

Is she gonna replace Bakalar? That would be the worst. Have her replace Alex and Dan instead.

Wow they really hired Lena Dunham?

They both better be good, but the lions weight is on Ben. GBW is an apocalyptic waste right now.

The girls sense of humor seems appropriately cringey for her demographic (22 yo female interested in GB). I hope she's ready for literally thousands of /v/ image dumps over the next few years.

It's a really bad pinned tweet, and muh vagina is literally a meme here.

Also, women are stupid.

>>375634503
Oh well then she does seem more likely to be crap.

Abby seems pretty fun based on her Twitter. I think she'll pair well with Dan, depending on how much content she's actually in. She was hired on for a production role, after all.

I also don't think she's going to be around that long. She just graduated college and I get the sense that this is her first production "get your foot in the door" kind of gig, if that makes sense. The position she was hired for was (as far as I know) far more focused on the production aspect than on the editorial/content creation side and I could see her sticking around for like 12-18 months and then moving on to somewhere else. I could be totally off base, but that's just the vibe I get.

I remember Ben from the Whiskey Media days and it's cool to have him back.

>>375634227
What practical skill does Brad, Alex and Dan have?

"comedian"
pinned tweet is a vagina joke

I don't have an autistic list of direct quotes, but Rorie has asked so many stupid questions, made so many stupid comments, that's it's obvious the dude knows almost nothing about videogames outside of WoW. At least videogames made after the years he was locked in a basement at GameSpot writing FAQs and game guides.

Good riddance. Keep him locked away deleting mean forum posts.

You won't find much agreement on that here by all the autists who can't get over his """""schtick"""".

But I agree. He was the impetus behind demo derby (which lead to game tapes), mario party party, Metal Gear Scanlon (which did turn to shit eventually) and yakuza. Literally the biggest draws to the site over the past 2 years.

The guy deserves more credit.
