Damn that sucks. It sounds like though he is leaving the video game industry all together? I wonder if that has to do with the fact that games journalism doesn't pay very well and that Giantbomb East is located in NYC which is ludicrously expensive.

After a terrible GOTY podcast and this, Giant Bomb is truly dead

Why was the GOTY podcast bad? The past two years I thought they were cringe worthy. That's why I've ignored them.

Err...you just answered your own question lol

But the new format is horrible and the lack of any fun categories just sucks the soul out of everything from it

Absolutely has to be working for WWE. He joked about Brad saying it was the most unsurprising career move he could make.

Not gonna lie, got a little emotional listening to him announce it on the Beastcast. Dude was a huge part of GB. Gonna miss him

When Dan goes to the movies he gets a popcorn tub out of the trash and gets it refilled instead of buying one. Also he's never seen The Godfather because it "looks boring"

Fuck, I just realized this means no more All Systems Goku or something similar for a different show

This fucking sucks! That was the most interesting thing they've done in a while

Dan really filled the hole that Ryan left on the team. I feel like Jeff doesn't have much longer either since hes started a family now. I don't think the site will be the same once hes left.

Dammmmmmn.

Dan's a crazy man with crazy opinions, but he brought a ton to the table. Most of my favorite series in Giant Bomb had Dan in 'em. Mario Party Party, Metal Gear Scanlon, Steal My Sunshine...

he was good on the west coast, giant bomb east has been pretty bad right from the start

the site's been on life support for a while now, but it's still sad to see what was probably the best personality-driven game site die out

Eh, Abby is alright on their normal podcasts. Jeff Bakalar and Vinny are always great. Lots of folks shit on Alex but I have no problem with him

I only started listening to both within the past year or two; I'm still not very good at telling which voice belongs to who (Abby aside).

I redownloaded the entirety of All Systems Goku for a flight. I'm definitely going to relisten to that >_> I wish they did more of that before Dan left

He really was my favorite personality on the show. He's leaving to produce podcasts for WWE. Pretty lame.

Well he fucking loves WWE and probably saw that Giant Bomb was doing a nosedive internally, so that's probably why he left >_>

I don't think Giant Bomb is in a nosedive honestly. Seems like they still have a rather active community and shit and their streams still get thousands of people on it.

I've been less interested in their content for sure though.

Why do you keep saying this? Is there an article or piece of news that says their subs are down? Right now they keep hiring new people and that shows me things are going well financially.

Occasionally when Jeff mentions how the site is doing he implies it's doing better than ever so idk.

That's just my opinion >_> I'm just salty that the GOTY podcast was so trash this year and that Dan is leaving. i have almost no interest in their content now.

I really wish they did some kind of sequel to All Systems Goku before Dan left. That legit was one of my favorite things ever.
