I always wear clothes, but if I can help it it's in the least amount without having to put clothes on to go anywhere else.

I did enjoy Burst Limit a lot, all things considered. Cautiously optimistic.

@octaslash: Well put, exactly my thoughts on the situation.

Again for me this discussion matters more for the future of the site than these two hires. I think Dan and Jason seem like great fits, and I'm excited to see what they will bring. I just hope that as the site grows it can start to include more diverse voices (both in a critical and entertainment perspective). It shouldn't all be on Patrick's shoulders, but he has openly made a commitment to bringing those voices in with some sort of a freelancer budget or something. My hope is they'd be able to bring on a more-diverse set of guests and contributors for different kinds of podcasts, or videos, or articles, or livestreams. They can drag Brad Muir out for quick looks every once in a while, maybe they could do that for other people (especially if they could get Anna Kipnis, she's super cool) I think Zoe Quinn is really super awesome! She's working on like three games at once, maybe it'd be possible to do some video around one of her projects-in-production or something. Idk. I know all that is way easier said than done, but I think it'd be awesome and the gb crew have kinda talked about stuff like that for a while. Idk if this is constructive or not, but it's my thoughts on the issue (other than the anger about the awful things being said at Leigh Alexander, Zoe, and others).

Was watching replay pretty intensely there for a while, mostly skipping episodes without phil kollar or dan. Really excited to see what both he and Jason will bring to the site!

I was pretty bummed about the no pools thing, but I'm still really excited about the game. Also, kudos for the Simplicity pun.

@arbitrarywater: You are definitely not wrong. If it is Dan, I think he'd be a great fit. Love the videos with his dad, and his dumb humor would fit in for sure. I fell off watching replay but I watched it consitently for a while.

I do agree that I would love to see some more diversity on the site. But who knows, there's also a video producer position (which as we know includes lots of screen time if it follows drew and vinny's examples). Also I hope Patrick does get funding to bring some guest writers/editors for videos and articles so people like zoe quinn, cara ellison, and others can get content here. In the end I'm just excited to see the expansion plans actually happening!

@kentonclay: Damn you! Now it's all sad.

I'm excited for the possibilities though. Change was a long time coming, and this seems like the smartest solution for Giant Bomb. Imagine Bombin' the AM with Scoops, the Wolf, and Vin-Dawg.

Ever since college I've been a long distance runner, but during college I got off of where I really wanted to be fitness-wise (both to stay in shape and because I genuinely enjoy it) so for the past month or so I've been working really hard to get back into shape. First 5k in a long time planned for June 14th! The goal eventually is to complete a half-marathon at some point this year. Also, working out is helping to prevent me from spending too much of my life in spelunky...

Is there a like fitocracy or whatever group for giantbomb duders?

Yeah it was the first episodes of the Persona 4 endurance run, which had been uploaded to youtube by a lets player I watched. Soon I was listening to the bomcast every week. I also think the "it's a website" video was the one that really sold me on the site in general and not just P4. It was so rediculous. It's a video game website... about video games!
