    He's a good friend of Will and Norm's and used to be the editor of a popular gaming magazine, he apparently lives a lot closer to the new office than the old one which is why he's around fairly often.

    @sagesebas: I don't know. It's one of the two. It's a little livestream thing, I just followed a link and didn't pay too much attention.  There's a bit where he mentions something to do with having another Apple fan in the office, then stops, corrects himself and says to wait and see. After months of rumor and aside comments like that, it's obvious.

    Brad has to leave and go back to North Carolina for prison time.  He has an outstanding warrant for meth possession, and assault with intent to inflict body harm.    Last Jeff talked about it, he said Brad was getting around 3 to 5 years.  Plus added time for fleeing the charges.  But that wont be sentenced till Brad gets back to NC.  
     
     
    Fucked up, but his parents came to Cali, and convinced him to clean up and get his life straight.  Jeff and Ryan may have helped.  Hope he can manage and get off the crystal.

    I hope not, Brad is the one I find myself agreeing with most when it comes to games, not to mention he brings some coolness to the site, would be missed if he left. 
     
    But Gary at GB? would be awesome too.

    Yeah dude, it's sad what goes on these days.  Brad seemed like such a nice guy, too.  Never would have seen him doing any of those things.

    I'm gonna take a guess and say that Gary is working on a new Whiskey Media website. Just like when Alex Navarro used to spend a lot of time at Whiskey and then Screened was revealed a few weeks later.

    We can joke but I don't know what he's leaving to do. I'd have to assume he's going back south and to go into another field of journalism but I have no idea what. All I can hope is that his time with Gamespot and GiantBomb have given him enough cache to work in the 'real' journo industry.

    1.  I would assume that Gary Whitta is probably pretty busy working on scripts, which more than likely make him a bigger chunk of money than being on Giant Bomb. 
    2.  Why the hell would Brad leave, especially after only two years and especially after they just launched the membership program? 
     
    That just doesn't make sense, and if anything, it sounds like it was a joke and nothing more.  Despite that, I've asked the man himself if he could offer a confirmation at all.  We'll see what happens?
