Say Hello to Austin Walker, Giant Bomb's New News Editor

Free coffee

Enjoying him on the Beastcast, looking forward to more...maybe even on the Powerbombcast?

Welcome aboard duder!

N'Gai Croal is that you? did you cut your dreads?

Say what you want, that mutha fucka is a gamer

Cool! Welcome Austin! Can't wait to read your stuff.

This guy seems really cool. And my opinion is obviously very important.

I like him already

What a sweet man. I still miss Patrick but what a fantastic replacement. Brings some really great stuff to my favorite website ever. Thanks guys!

I'm gone for a week, and I come back to a new member of Giant Bomb!

AND IT'S AUSTIN FUCKING WALKER! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Welcome to the site, duder. We prefer cake over pie.

Austin seems like a rad addition to the crew.

I really enjoyed listening to you on the first episodes of the Beastcast, Austin! You seem exactly like the guy GB needs right now. Welcome!

wow. austin walker might get me to pay for premium again

Man, Austin seems awesome. I've liked what he's written so far as well. Great addition to the crew.

You... I like you. Keep up the good work man! Stay critical!

Seems like an awesome duder!

I am very happy that I have heard him in the beastcast and read some of his other stuff on the site cause those things made think highly about him.

This video? its my opinion that he comes across as abit preachy and selfimportant BUT im gonna chalk that up to him being nervous more than anything else and reserve my judgement.

So Welcome to the site and Duder on!

I like this guy. I really like this guy!

Welp

Gonna miss you duder. Don't be a stranger.

Dang, 4 years since Austin joined Giant Bomb. I miss having him on the site but he's doing great things over at waypoi I mean vice games

I love Austin so much. His voice is still missed here at Giant Bomb. I really hope Giant Bomb keeps trying to expand its voice, even if a part of the fanbase reacts negatively. Their personality driven content make this site a great platform, and it would be great to expose more and more viewers to more complex content/ ideas — even if they are just a tiny bit more complex.

Austin was, and continues to be, great. I was so glad to see the duder join, having enjoyed his previous writing. The whole Beastcast reveal was fantastic. This website does a great job of finding fun people.

Remember when Austin got hired 4 years ago? That was 24 years ago.

Also oh shit "My First E3" foretold

Wow! Such humble beginnings for the worlds premier Jane Austen podcaster.

Love whenever he pops into the BeastCast.

It's bittersweet to see this show up in the feed. I can remember watching this video back then and getting excited that he went to school in Ontario, as I live close by.

For a sec, I was super excited and then realized.

Damn, 5 years went by in a flash.

Yea, wow that went by quick.

I salute you young Austin!

Can't believe its been 5 years. Still miss you Austin.

Such a great addition to the crew. Miss you Austin!

I miss you sweet prince

This was 5 years ago....

Earlier this year I went through old GBeast Playdates, for stuff like Contradiction, Life Is Strange, Until Dawn, etc.

He’s gone on to do good things, but I still miss Austin’s presence on here.

5 years later and i still miss you....you taught me how to love again Austin!

How time flies.

oh god this was 5 years ago where did all my time go.

@kalu678: six years ago now

Austins phone was BLOWING UP during this! Miss him at GB.

Can’t believe he was only around for 1 year. I love that Austin Walker.

Man...Austin was so good here at Giant Bomb. Excited that Waypoint+ might give us some new exciting Austin soon.

One of the best videos on the site.

Austin Walker: the man, the myth, the legend!

This kid seems smart, good daedra quest coverage too.

"The first step in my ploy to rule gaming coverage is complete..."
