The horizon zero dawn review is up and uh.. 5 stars, wow. That was outta nowhere.
[QUOTE=usaokay;51848311]Jeff doesn't usually like Triple A games; let alone give it a perfect score.
Damn.[/QUOTE]
But he gave Titanfall 2 5 stars?
Yeah but it's a triple A game that Jeff gave a perfect score to. I don't know where you got the idea that Jeff doesn't usually like AAA games.
I didn't expect a Horizon review at all to be honest. I forgot it even existed.
Drew is leaving Giant Bomb. Just announced on the bombcast live right now :(

So many changes happening to the members of staff at Giant Bomb, but honestly they all go on to do cool things on their own too.
It'll be interesting to see whether Drew stays in games media or not (Unsure if he mentioned anything on bombcast, missed it live).
giant bomb west is gonna feel empty as fuck now. it's just jeff brad jason and rorie.
Just yesterday I was remembering how, after Austin departed (also sad), some reddit comment I dredged in the reaction predicted Drew would be next, citing his free spirited nature. The thought made me worried but I didn't believe it.
This is the dark timeline.
Aw fuck no, Drew was my favorite duder after Jeff. Though I am interested in what kind of solo projects he's going to be working on, I'd be down for seeing Drew do his own videos on simulator games and stuff like that.
Here's hoping he's still in the san francisco area so he can still pop in for the occasional podcast or upf.
actually ruined my day
GBW has literally nobody now, brad has gotten boring over the years (i can only watch someone talk about dota and destiny and be bad at games for so long), jeff worked best off of other people (namely vinny), and jason and rorie arent even worth mentioning
Drew was my favorite Giant Bomb by far. I want to be Drew when I grow up. I'll miss his awesome pilot stories and taste in simulationy video games that super lines up with mine.

On his tumblr, Jeff said they're hiring 3 new people. 2 for West and 1 for East

I'll miss drew being a dork on quick looks
I just realized that I'll be really sad if this means that we won't get Drew & Alexis extra life streams anymore.

My money is on them coming back for those and Drew coming for the Halo 6 quick look.

better not be another patrick/austin
Very nice ending to upf today. Gonna miss Drew a lot.
I shouldn't get genuinely upset over someone leaving a website especially when they can always show up again, but it is sad to see one of my biggest inspirations to go into video production leave a company that I highly respect. The ending of UPF made me let loose a few tears.
man drew was great, also I've been watching these grown men play video games for 8 years

Drew's next thing seems to be travel related, but still somehow related to gaming
that's a great logo
My sadness turned into excitement real quick. Can't wait to see what drew does next.
I wish I had a saturday badge so I could have seen them. But at least I got to yell at Jason today.
something i've been thinking about lately is how much more i enjoy the Beastcast over the Bombcast these days. the beastcast reminds me a lot of the first few years of the bombcast: riffing on shit, going on weird hilarious tangents, and just overall having fun with it. i can't remember the last time i really laughed at something on the bombcast. i miss stuff like this:
