The Boss of Bosses Rises

COOLBEANS

Hint, hint, Giant Bomb hiring manager.

RORIE IS WRITING FOR RIVAL VIDEO GAME WEBSITE?!

What a traitor. -____-

RORIE RISES AGAIN!!!

YAY!!! Rorie has work again!

• Step 1: Hire @Rorie for various writings and shenanigans.
• Step 2: Hire / force back interns @Lemon and @MattBodega, and bring back the Fear Gauntlet.
• Step 3: ???
• Step 4: PROFIT

Surreal seeing my tweet in a forum post... anyway yeah. Stoked Rorie is getting more work, one of my favorite writers out there and just an all around great guy.

I've figured it out!

yeah, i seem to recall Alexis mentioning this during the Halo live stream. Nice to have him back in the biz.

Kinda, is he employed by them or is he freelancing?

Freelancing, for the moment. I really hope Matt lands a job, either at GamesRadar or anywhere else. He's a great guy.

MATT RORIE

It may be freelance, but at least he's working!

Hey CBSi? GET ON THE FUCKING BALL AND HIRE THIS MAN.

Rorie is ours. They can't have him.

Good for him, I wish GB got him instead.

I think Jeff or whoever would be in charge of such things is the real traitor for not hiring Rorie.

Awesome! I've missed the dulcet tones of Mr @Rorie and his lovely work. Well done, sir!

Does this mean he's stopped molesting small dogs on the street?

Oh man, Rorie writing a new game guide for Gamespot is both supremely awesome and kind of depressing.

Still, really happy that guy is at work again-- hopefully he finds a good job that allows him to write reviews and the sort.

there's no step 3.

Get Rorie on a TNT, pronto!

Wait, why isn't he working for Giant Bomb?

Well whatever I'm just happy he's found some work.

It's still a damn travesty that he isn't onboard with Giant Bomb already.

EDIT: but of course I'm really happy for him that things are looking up; he's been without a job for a while, now.

Wait, why isn't he working for Giant Bomb?

Oh and how ironic, the guy that betrayed him, left him high and dry and sent him to the bread line is the first to "congratulate" him.

If we can't have Rorie no one will!

@TheHBK:

What? What do you mean?

This, so much, this!

They don't have the budget to bring on more people yet, according to Jeff.

But he also mentioned at some point that they were "talking to a guy" or something like that when he was asked about expanding the crew.

Is Rorie Giant Bomb's huckleberry?

Well done, Rorie. I still have Screened-sized hole in my heart that needs filling.

@dudeglove said:

God I hope not.

Rorie deserves better!

I enjoy the Matt Rorie.

He also wrote the Guild Wars 2 guide for them a few months ago.

Now that Rorie is doing game reviews I think a certain website about video games should hire him.

Absolute genius.

I for one enjoyed Fear Gauntlet, especially Condemned, immensely.

Glad to see he is back in the game! Still, Rorie should totally come to Giantbomb. Hopefully someday....

Woo glad to hear Rorie's back in the game.

@Bulby33 said:

Because the economy.

There are a ton of great game writers out of work and it is much cheaper to contract them on a freelance basis than employ full time. Unless it is Polygon then nobody is hiring.

If GB is smart they will not be pressing for new staff, they should be lobbying for a freelance budget or interns. Much more likely to get that.

I doubt it's as simple as Jeff saying, "No, don't hire him." They aren't in direct control of everything GB does anymore.

RORIE OR RIOT

As so many here ... I wish they could just hire him. I never visited the-website-we-dont-mention-anymore, but I really liked Rorie.

I'm really disappointed with the lack of puppies in this review.

Oh and how ironic, the guy that betrayed him, left him high and dry and sent him to the bread line is the first to "congratulate" him.

That could not be more complete and utter bullshit.

Is it? I have no idea either way, I'm just curious because Rorie got fuuuuuuuucked.

Huh? Who are we talking about here? The bomb crew? If so, nuh uh!
