Austin news is really upsetting to wake up to. Going to miss him an awful lot. Very difficult person to replace as well.
When will the new community thread go up?

First Patrick, now Austin.
They should re-hire Patrick and have him start up the Giantbomb Chicago branch with Gita Jackson. That way he doesn't need to move, Giantbomb expands even more(since that's what Jeff wanted), and we get another new member along with him. It's all win-win except for Patrick haters.

Jeff made it sound like they will be getting a third body into New York.
Gita Jackson would be cool.

Whenever EmCee unlocks it.
Austin leaving. I'm sure he's doing it for his own good but he worked so well with GBE and GB in general. Not news I wanted to wake up to.
Also please stop trying to guess the new hire. I don't want to go through all that shit again.

EmCee told us to create a new community thread.

The problem is, would she be comfortable with moving to New York, possibly away from family or more? If not, it would be yet another Patrick situation.
They need to find someone who brought what Austin and Patrick brings, but who also is comfortable living in NY. This is why I think the Chicago branch idea works better as a solution.

Oh, then is Hot Coldman making the thread? Or Anjin?
And also they should like Warhammer.
You're the new hire.
Congrats glitches, when do you start?

Thanks to Austin, Vinny has put his foot into the shallow side of that Warhammer pool and is intrigued enough to give us decent coverage.

For sure, don't know her background at all though away from her voice on games.
Austin moved countries tbf, so it's not like people won't come.

Anjin said a couple of pages back that he will make the thread when he wakes up.

I hope whoever they get writes down "extraordinary endurance" as one of their strengths in their resume.

What a great Giant Bomb E3 by the way.
Jeff's heartfelt message at the end and this tweet reminded me we are part of something special.

Agreed. I'm not gonna speculate on who will replace Austin, way too early for that. But I trust them to find a great hire that will work with the guys in NYC.
If you can find it.
Jaded Jeff with another #Jaded post.

Losing Professa Killah, The Black Marx, Young Kafka, The Galactus of the Game, Karl Marx Zuckerberg, Kanye East is not best for business.

I wonder what the mods will change his tag to.
Also what's going to happen to that guest column program? I thought that was Austin's creation?

It will probably die out. I can't see anyone else wanting to do that work.

I don't get the impression that guest column was exactly setting the world on fire, either.

True, but it was still something nice and interesting to read.

It was giving a platform to people who could do with one, talking about games above "does the jump feel floaty?" analysis.
I can't imagine it was raking in the hits, but it was really cool and something only a subscription service like GB could justify.

Yeah I liked it too.

I'm sure whoever they get to fill Austin's position would be more than happy to take over the job of looking at pitches and going "yeah sounds cool".

I imagine he was laid off when Disney shut down their games department.
On a road trip.
He just realised we fucking made him and now he's backpedalling like crazy.
GB always takes their sweet time filling positions, but they've been spot on with all their hires so far. So hope they take as long as they need!
