Holy fuck history is being made on UPF right now [editline]30th July 2016[/editline] I am shocked, confused and amazed all at once.
Did... Is Dan gone?
[QUOTE=Skyward;50798302]Did... Is Dan gone?[/QUOTE] Nobody knows, but signs are showing that something BIG is coming in relation to all that. [editline]30th July 2016[/editline] [media]https://twitter.com/aarontrites/status/759123361238843392[/media]

Adam Boyes just took up being the CEO for Iron Galaxy, so whatever's happening ain't happening with him. Is the Ryckert/Vignocchi RV really happening? Is he going to NYC to be permanent Giant Beast (doubt it, because he's got his GF to worry about)? Does that mean he's leaving Giant Bomb to do whatever he's doing, or will this be under Giant Bomb's/CBS's ownership? Will Stone Cold reclaim the championship belt? This is legit the weirdest development on Giant Bomb I've ever seen and yet it's totally unsurprising Dan's behind it somehow.
Dan is an enigma, I expect anything and everything that man does to be either the biggest thing or smallest thing ever to happen.
Something happened during today's UPF? I downloaded it so I'm just getting to it.
God [sp]Dan got fucking BODIED[/sp] After continued watching [sp]it was a bit ergo the joke about holding RT to block ala MK9/X[/sp] That said, hope he goes on that road trip!

I'm guessing that this is where Dan is going and it will end with either him just coming back or ending up over in GB east.
i just dont want dan leaving GB at all, you cant replace someone like him :(

Ooh, when did this thread get resurrected? Anyway, hope this Dan thing is the road trip, cos johnny v and Dan in the road would be magical.

all i can think about is that time he periscoped, for 30 minutes, that BOOOOOOBAAAAAAAH
I'm going miss his interactions with Jeff, Drew and Brad if he moves to GBeast. He gets on well with Vinny tho so it might not be all bad.
The Rio Quick Look is proof that Dan at GBeast is not a bad thing
It might not be a [I]bad [/I]thing, but I'll really miss his chemistry with the west coast guys.
I wonder what will happen to Mario Party Party. Will we get a GBE Mario Party Party??? I think Brad and Dan can keep doing Hitman videos, since they have the tech to do cross-country videos now.
I'm just glad that the Beastcast will have its 4th seat filled, although this was unexpected. Does this mean SF is getting a new hire?
I'm kind of hoping this is temporary until they hire a new/couple of new people for the site. 6 months of Dan with Vinny sounds amazing, then going back to the west coast to reunite with the SF office once the new hires have settled in would be perfect. It's neat though, and how attached I get to personalities and how well they interact is why I watch Giant Bomb. I doubt with any other podcast/video group I would be this invested in a wrestling style announcement to move across a country.
Patrick Klepek announced he's leaving Kotaku. Maybe? I see him either going back to GB or joining Austin at Vice for his new gig.
[QUOTE=OpethRockr55;50819441]Patrick Klepek announced he's leaving Kotaku. Maybe?[/QUOTE] I read that he just recently bought a house in Chicago so I doubt it. [editline]2nd August 2016[/editline] Just remembered that Danswers won't be a thing anymore if he does move to NYC :(
[QUOTE=OpethRockr55;50819441]Patrick Klepek announced he's leaving Kotaku. Maybe? I see him either going back to GB or joining Austin at Vice for his new gig.[/QUOTE] It's been announced that he's going to that Vice games thing with Austin. Glad he's not going back to GB personally, I didn't think he was that great of a fit. As for Dan, I wonder what this means for the likes of Mario Party and Demo Derby. I imagine that might only do Mario Parties live an event like they did that one time just to keep the player roster the same. I hope they don't make Demo Derby a GBE thing now though, as what makes it great is Jeff's input of random knowledge/banter. [editline]3rd August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Swiket;50819453]Just remembered that Danswers won't be a thing anymore if he does move to NYC :([/QUOTE] Well, seeing how well the few cross coast QLs they've done recently went, they could easily just make Danswers through skype.
I hope they keep doing demo derby, it's one of the best features on the site for me atm. since I spent a lot of time messing with PS1 demo discs as a kid. Mario party party has just gotten worse with every game imo. It was great in the beginning but it has gotten boring now, so it's not a big deal for me if this is the end of that.

Confirmed: Dan will be staying in NYC and working with GBE for the next month, until PAX.
I'm glad they'll continue the Hitman stuff at gbeast. Addition of Vinny is also great.
