man drew is such a rad dude
Oh my god, with this and O'Dwyer's Noclip I'm loving what people can do with Youtube+Patreon these days.
God damn, the Patreon thing is up to nearly $8,000/m already and climbing steadily. It'll hit $10,000+ by the end of the week easily.
Can't wait to see how this turns out!

nvm forget by the end of the week, it'll be at $10,000 by the end of the day.
Alright well it's at $11,000.
Will be fun to see if it hits that $15,000 goal by tonight.

[url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5zk59w/i_am_drew_scanlon_former_giant_bomb_video/]drew had an AMA[/url]
they're livestreaming mass effect andromeda (might have finished already) and it looks pretty mediocre. one thing brad mentioned is that all of the squad mates feel like they've just fallen into your lap and you don't really know them that well
Jeff said on tonight's UPF that they may be doing custom hockey jerseys. They'll be premium jerseys and you can get a custom name and number. His estimate was around $200, which doesn't seem too far off to be honest. I'd totally drop $200 on a Giant Bomb hockey jersey with "DAVIS" on the back.
I'd get one if I had the money and also if I ever had a reason to get one. Aren't hockey jerseys pretty uncomfortable?

I only ever see people get hockey jerseys to hang them up on a wall.

Oh shit it's intern Ben.
I think Ben's going to bring a whole new angle to the website,

[quote]Ben has over 5000 hours logged in Dota 2, but swears that “at least half of that has to be idle time.”[/quote]
brad 2.0?
on one hand i feel like jeff hired ben mainly because it's somebody who previously worked with gb and the community knows of, to avoid the backlash they got when they hired patrick and dan.
on the other hand it's intern ben.

I feel extremely confident that Jeff could not care less about those people
[QUOTE=RaxaHax;52173326]I feel extremely confident that Jeff could not care less about those people[/QUOTE]
considering he wrote an article responding to some claims, i'm pretty sure he does care.
also he answers pretty much everything on his tumblr.

Will Ben's Lens return?
I wonder how the East hire will do. Hopefully well!
AlsI my Beastcast 100th anniversary shirt came in. Thank god I up sized it by one to a 4X because otherwise it'd be too short :v: Nobody puts out 3XLTs sadly.

How tall are you?
[QUOTE=ryfry99;52184606]How tall are you?[/QUOTE]
6' 5" or 195cm. My torso is fairly long.
Ben seem's pretty great, he gels well with the guys at West which I imagine is due to knowing them from interning. Plus he's pretty good at games which is nice.
Looking forward to Abby's first week next week too, it'll be good to have another person on GBeast as a lot of their content has been getting kind of samey I think. Having said that, the coin and guitar hero stream was probably one of my favourite videos from the last year.
