Why is Alex in San Fran?

Clearly I missed something.. I looked around the forums but couldnt find anything..

Anyone know?

He said on twitter he is there helping out for a week. That's all i know.

Because.

just cause?

I kind of hope he doesn't become permanent...he's cool, but better in small doses...

Everyone else hates Pikmin so much, they brought Alex from the other side of the country so they don't have to talk about it.

@alex: Thanks! it all makes sense now.

I like Alex, i was glad to hear him on the bombcast, hope he sticks around for a bit but wont be surprised if he doesn't. He is probably in town for a wedding or just a short break, hope Rorie and Alex do a movie podcast whilst they are together.

@the_ruiner: What in this world is truly permanent?

Because they wanted Alex to play the copy of Robocop they received from a fan

@alex

...Patrick Stewart?

@the_ruiner: Maybe you're just not extreme enough to handle a larger dose of Navarro.

He's on the lam. Turns out once you strangle your fourth hooker, people get uppity.

We learned that lesson the hard way :(

It's his job to go to work.

Cocaine muling? I mean, fuck, I don't know. I don't think anyone on these forums other than staff know. What the hell does it matter? Alex on Quick Looks, y'all!

@alex: Me im permanent.

He best be on Unprofessional Fridays. That's all.

I want him to stay. :-(

Was nice hearing him on the Bombcast. Screw New York. Come back to USSSSSSSSS.

@alex: well put.

My eternal misery.

Why the fuck not? I like Alex

I have enjoyed Alex this past week on the content. It is always good to get him on video and the podcast.

I subscribed because of Alex, which, ironically, was a couple of weeks before he left. I've never felt the same since.

REVENGE.

To get away from the humidity of New York for a while, I suppose.

Espionage.

Great time to take this one out, DOES it have to do something with this?

Maybe vacation or some other reasons, always fun to see Alex there on random GB things.

Thought that was Drew's area of expertise? Or is Alex like some sort of counter-Drew?

Only Drew is the counter-Drew.

He's sellin guns

@video_game_king: Good question.

Big Rigs

I hope he stays a while, nay, FOREVER!

I'd speculate that without Ryan, everyone on the tiny GB team is massively overworked. They've brought in Alex to help them produce content and take the pressure off a bit. Maybe they'll keep him there permanently, maybe they'll hire someone new in the end. Either way, I feel for those guys right now, I feel like everyone was at capacity anyway and now they must all be terribly overworked.

I was thinking at first that it was to reduce the workload of the already overworked editorial staff. However, he's said he's only going to be here for a week, and that just doesn't make sense, that's a lot of effort for four quick looks and a live show. I wonder if he came out to SF to help interview a new person.

Or he wanted to leave New York for a bit, and wanted to spend time with friends. That's probably more likely.

Alex is here to help out everyone at the office. Don't stay too long Alex, we need you back on the East Coast.

He's there for PAX East.

I'm was really happy to hear him on this weeks Bombcast, I have always really liked him.

As is your brutal honesty sir. Jeez!

Definitely not permanent, he has his own place and a lady on the other side of America.

Maybe they've got a big backlog of shitty games they need him to review for them?

Can't wait to listen to that premium wrestling podcast they recorded, I'm hype brother.

I wildly speculate that their beginning the process of hiring a new guy to bolster the staff, and Alex has come over to help draw up shortlists of guys they want or something like that.

Whatever it is, it's related to wrestling.

Karate tournament.

Maybe Alex was secretly there the whole time? Egg in your face, you wasted a thread.
