They said there'd be one a week, there's been 2 in over 5 weeks ¬¬

Did you send a question for the podcast about TW3's just after the PS4/XBO came out btw?

Haha,I see they're back to obsessing about what people say about them again.

It's not like they're the only site that gets it. Places like GameSpot have been getting shit for giving AC a 9 so no idea why they get so worked up about it. It's inevitable.

I'll be back on the Podcast tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a chance to say hello to the new team-member and then give them the mock shifty-eyes for getting the job instead of me.

Latest podcast was awesome. Really wish the line-up would permanently be Miller, Scammell, Burns and Jim though.

Wow, Jim tells a story involving his mate Danny on this week's podcast that is a bit..... out there.

Probably the most WTF podcast moment I've heard in a long time.

Forgot to mention, that was me again on the podcast this week. Plus, it seems Dave is a secret member as well as Burns, so hello you guys!

Yeah that and a very salty Jim made it a good episode this week.

He is absolutely hilarious. The whole lot of them are, honestly. Alice Bell has been a fantastic addition to the crew, as well.

I think this Podcast and their work in general really deserve a lot more love around here. They're pretty much Giant Bomb-tier for me in terms of quality.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised to see Miller saying he's leaving too. Although he seems pretty busy with his wrestling stuff recently.

Damn, wtf :(

Holy shit, really? Burns and Jim?

I think everyone at VG is great, but losing those guys will really change the tone of things. Really unfortunate...

I've only been following VG for a few years, but it seems like they always get these amazingly talented and funny people to come through, but just can't hold on to them at all. Matt Lees, Chris Bratt, etc.

From a podcast perspective, it feels like Miller's almost gone already... :(

Feeling bad for the new recruits who thought they were joining an awesome team and not making an entirely new one :/

Scammell's leaving too. Entire editorial team will have changed in less than a year.

Damn it, man...

Didn't Dave just recently start taking on more responsibilities as a lead editor or something?

Really sucks to see him go. I like Alice and the two new guys just fine, but it's really not going to be the same without any of the traditional personalities.

I wonder what's caused the the mass exodus this year. I know Jim and Burns have big plans, but what about Tom and Dave? Wonder if there is some drama with company that bought Videogamer a while back...

Oh well!

has to be with the founders leaving, The other Orry is also gone, so within 6 months they're lost everyone who made up the old team. Feels like only a matter of time.

Tom also put "Sadly sometimes in life you just have to do the thing you don't want to do" so somethings clearly gone on thats forced him into leaving.

I'm worried that CandyBanana has given an edict of having "Trendy young people" as the face of the channel. Alice, Colm and Sam are thankfully great, but part of the joy of VideoGamer was having non-standard personalities like Tom and Dave.

That's four staff members out and I don't think they were advertising for that many coming in. Who knows what's going on but it certainly seems like they're cutting back or streamlining the site.

He's one of the guys that's just joined up, right? Weird. James left, too?

So just Alice and Colm for now with some possible Miller appearances?

I like them all, but RIP old Videogamer :(

Tom announced he's the gaming editorial director for whatculture now. Good to see him getting work quickly.

For those on their patreon has the amount of content gone up or down since all the changes? I like the guys still there but it would be pretty hard to keep the same amount of content coming with so few people.

At the moment off the top of my head, the extra content is:

-Extended and early Podcast on Tuesdays
-Q&A Livestreams on Thursdays
-Extra podcast on Fridays (Around 45 minutes)

Sorry missed this. Hmm, doesn't seem like a lot.

Random question but are the trashy ads at the bottom of VG articles new or have they been there a while? I haven't been on the site that much lately so I could have missed it.

Good to see Tom working at the Gamer network now. Should provide plenty of Bratterz related content on twitter at least.

Unfortunately as it's been a skeleton crew of Alice & Colm, with Simon as a part-timer, content has probably been tough to get created and scheduled. Once the new folks come in, it should start getting busier again.

If the new people are in this month, I might get the chance to say hello as I'm in for my final podcast appearance soon.
