if you are going to co-opt screened staff to write reviews in the silly season. Least he deserves :)
Alex Navarro
Senior Editor at Giant Bomb from 2010 - 2021. Formerly GameSpot editor and PR specialist for Harmonix. He previously worked for Whiskey Media on their movie site Screened. Drum God. Ask him about Big Rigs.
Alex deserves a set of cartoon avatars ...
I thought he did have them... There's one on his Kirby review.
Edit: oh i see. MooseyMcMan you are CORRECT.
Did Matt Rorie ever review games? Seems like if Alex is providing some extra reviews then so could he.

I would like to see Will and/or Norm review some PC games though! And more Dave, always more Dave.
Didn't he have one for that one sports game, or something? Also, anybody know the HTML crap to get them working in blogs? Tried it, failed.
No doubt Matt could write a review or too but there is a way of writing a games review and I think the reason for using Alex is that he must have written so many in his previous jobs that I imagine that skill set comes back easily and you can really knock them out in an afternoon. Especially if they are not particularly long games he is covering. Like Ryan can review movies for TANG and WUTANG but I bet i takes him a lot longer than with a games review.
Was it not TurboToaster? She does the art for practically everything else on the site." Did Ben Coello (animator for Time Trotters) make the avatars? I have to assume that's who did a lot of that art, like the original Bombcast logo and the review score portraits. I've never heard the crew reference him but the style is too similar. "

I thought Dave did all of the Whiskey logos? Someone asked Will in a mailbag about the logos and he said Dave did them all. Turbo has only been doing Whiskey art for a year or so now, and those review cartoons are older than that, so she didn't do them. I don't see why she couldn't take over and do ones for the new guys though.
I agree totally that Alex should have them though, and anyone who reviews a game should. Its weird going to the review and not seeing one there.
Pretty sure Ben Coello did the original Bombcast art and review pics, that was long before my time. Dave as far as I know did all the logos ( save for Anime Vice I assume). I think they need me to allocate my work time for Quests as of right now, but if they asked I'd be happy to do them up. ^_^
