Him and Jan are my favorite probably because they're closer to my age. Sad to see him go.

Dan, Abby, now Ben. Several people have left IGN too over the last year or so. I think its becoming apparent that these companies need to start moving outside of NY and San Francisco as the cost of living is too high for what these "journalists" are getting paid for.

Anyways, sounds like Ben will be doing something outside of games. He was a great part of GB. Hopefully they get in some fresh new faces soon, they never hired for Dans position.

Well I was wrong. Apparently he left because he wants a more private life and is done giving takes. Idk, maybe there's more that happens behind the scenes at Giantbomb then we will ever know. Its not like they do written reviews anymore, maybe he just didn't want to be on camera any longer.

Damn. Definitely going to miss him on the podcast. Hopefully he does well in whatever he decides to do.

I only watch GB for the Quick Looks videos and Alex and Vinny are definitely the best they have. Every other person sounds so much more.... dull I guess, like they have no personality compared to Alex and Vinny. GB really shouldn't be putting out Quick Looks with anyone except those two guys.

Mass Alex is one of my fave features of theirs. They started KOTOR1 before Xmas and im hoping they continue with it. With them all working from home I wish they would do more crossovers with each other.

Giant Bomb does have its share of shitheads in its fanbase. Wonder if he just got tired of dealing with weirdos on the internet
