Is it him taking here?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCLPQzffdFo

Dude's into the FGC. Fucking finally.

 

[Lunzio]

This reminds me how awesome Replays are.

Would love for GB to return to some older games like this.

 

[chogidogs]

Is he island guy from Dan's dad videos? I'd be funny if they could still get those segments with the original crew.

 

[BUNTING1243]

It almost Österreichring which is an awesome F1 track.... Alt-F1 extra guest confirmed!



McNamara must be pissed lol

This obviously goes back to some weird late-90s online versus print vendetta

Yes. That's where the PSNation guys knew him from. PSNation and Interactive Distractions (Indis) were popular podcasts on a site known as VGEvo (now known as Retroids). I believe both are still there on Retroids, but PSNation has sort of become it's own thing (with it's own site) out of necessity. I believe they had to do so to become eligible to cover E3.

I'm excited. Maybe he'll convince Jeff and Brad to put some time into fighting games again and go to EVO.

I'm really looking forward to any new video content. Giant Bomb's E3 BTS was so great. More video content is awesome!

 

[Tucah]

So we're (probably, but almost definitely) getting two GI guys, huh.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Yeah. I think this hire more or less confirms Ryckert's hire.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Yeah. I think this hire more or less confirms Ryckert's hire.

This hire isn't really confirmed yet though, right?

Anyone have a timestamp for the podcast where they talk about this?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I hope he has the correct opinion of Mortal Kombat

It's at the end. Like the last minute (before the stand-up comedy bit). At this point, it's all but confirmed. Both guys are moving to SF and PSNation was clearly informed by Jason of his hire.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I hope he has the correct opinion of Mortal Kombat

I don't think so. Otherwise, we wouldn't be talking about him here.

Spoiler

He's hiding his true emotions

 

[EdReedFan20]

Which is?

Thanks man!

 

[EdReedFan20]

Thanks man!

No problem!

Jeff finally did The Raid, but instead of Japanese video games it was Game Informer editors.

He couldn't have picked better heads to poach. GiantBomb is getting powered up.

 

[Megasoum]

Where's the podcast? All I see on the site is the E3 stuff.

 

[EdReedFan20]

It's there. Just click Bombcast and it'll say 6/17/14 (even though that was Monday's date).

Sorry, was talking about the PSNation podcast.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Sorry, was talking about the PSNation podcast.

Oh, right. I got it through the iTunes feed. They haven't posted it yet on the proper site. Usually it seems it's the other way around.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Yeah, just listened to the podcast. Pretty much definitive at this point.

 

[AuthenticM]

I hope Dan becomes the Endurance Run guy.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Yeah, just listened to the podcast. Pretty much definitive at this point.

What, my word not good enough?

 

[SmithnCo]

Jason and Dan? Nice. Jason was cool in the Replays he was in.

Also DR3 DLC QL coming up.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I noticed on the schedule that Scoops and the Wolf will have it's normal Friday schedule. I wonder if this will be the intro of Vinny into the morning show. If so, I wonder what the new name of the show would be.

 

[wenis]

Vincent and the Vincentians in the morning.

 

[daydream]

Vincent and the Vincentians in the morning.

Vincentian Blinds in the Morning.

Yes, it's the much-awaited sequel to the cult classic.

 

[Beast Legacy]

Some questions about the Throwback Hoodie in the GB store. Are there no pockets on this one? I know the sample illustration doesn't seem to have them but just making sure. And for any of you that bought them, how's the overall quality?

 

[rakhir]

Oestreicher is a cool name

To this day I've never seen it written, so I've always assumed it's Jason O'Striker.

 

[Myggen]

I'm curious to see how they will announce it. I remember that Patrick was simply a news article on the site and took me completely by surprise.

Since they've waited with the announcement, I'm sure they'll do something in video form this time.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I might know him

There are pockets. It's high quality.

Bombing the A.M. with Scoops and the Wolf sponsored by Vinnco.

 

[Zaph]

He's a Fatal Fury fan. This'll do nicely.

 

[Myggen]

I can co-sign this, it's a really nice hoodie .

 

[TheMaidenInBlack]

There's a weird "end of an era" thing going on with GB right now. Although they've had a lot of changes in location etc over the years it's always been the same core guys, plus Patrick and then minus Ryan.

Now three of the editors are the other side of the country, we have two new hires coming in and the Bombcast/videos are going to be completely different.

Patrick was a great hire so I have faith these two new guys will fit in nicely, but it will be weird. I already deeply miss the Vinny/Jeff/Patrick/Brad/Ryan Bombcasts!

Yeah, things are definitely happening. Feels like the biggest change, since GB moved into the Whiskey Media offices.
I wonder if the Bomcast is going to be Jeff/Brad/Drew/Dan/Jason as a standard now?

Jeff said that the new editor (Dan) will be a permanent member of the podcast from day 1. We haven't really heard anything about the new producer, but from the little I've heard from Jason at GI he seems like he could be a good fit on the Bombcast (he's also a big fighting games guy, and is into RPGs and such so he would add something different in terms of games he likes).

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Dan is such a perfect fit with the gang, he's like a Jeff mixed with Vinny

 

[demidar]

Dan is such a perfect fit with the gang, he's like a Jeff mixed with Vinny

Are you saying he's the future son of Jeff and Vinny who time traveled here from the future?

 

[Renpatsu]

Anybody got suggestions for great GB content as a result of them shaking up the core group, be it early Patrick, interns, special guests etc? In lieu of the post-E3 recuperation period I've been itching to watch something.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Are you saying he's the future son of Jeff and Vinny who time traveled here from the future?

I need to update my fanfiction.

 

[CypherSignal]

Oestreicher is a cool name

Out of curiosity, how do you pronounce it? "Oh-striker"?

 

[ozhenson]

I think it's a Dutch or German name, pronounced Ay-striker.

 

[Kelas]

Wouldn't it be more of an ooh sound? Isn't oe just a representation of o with an umlaut?

 

[ArjanN]

Oestreicher is a cool name

It almost Österreichring which is an awesome F1 track.... Alt-F1 extra guest confirmed!

Oestreicher means someone from Austria by the way. "Austrian" basically.

While Österreichring is just Austria ring.

Wouldn't it be more of an ooh sound? Isn't oe just a representation of o with an umlaut?

Yeah, so more like ust-reicher.

 

[popo]

It is like when you go to the dog pound to adopt a puppy and they are all like - these two are brother and sister and we would sure hate to split them up, they will keep each other company. I sure hope they don't shit on the carpet.

This is a sad lesson for some people on how hiring often works in the real world. Big companies like CBS have to advertise positions publicaly but likely as not the job goes to someone the person interviewing has known for years and his mate.

 

[Torgo]

On Today's PlayStation Nation podcast, Glenn Percival, the host, let it out of the bag that their friend Jason Oestreicher (of Game Informer) was hired by Giant Bomb to do video stuff. Wasn't Dan Ryckert from Game Informer too?

His Twitter account: https://twitter.com/unastrike

I totally fucked-up when I said that. I honestly thought that was announced officially, and I feel terrible. I violated a trust and I apologize to the parties involved. It's all on me and I take full responsibility.

I am sorry :-(

 

[JayHayabusa]

For those interested, the mention of Jason joining Giant Bomb is 2 hours 2 min 10 seconds in.
