I'm sure he's getting a big pay raise wherever he's going so good for him if so. I'll miss him and hope he keeps showing up from time to time. Kinda hard to imagine them finding someone who is as good a fit but Jeff and Vinny know what they're doing.

He's not going to move from Chicago and there's no way in hell CBS would pay him to do youtube from his spare bedroom.

This is a bummer, Austin owns and elevates any discussion he's involved in. Hopefully he stays on the Beastcast like Bakalar.

As much as I have enjoyed his contributions for the short time I've been able to, Austin seems way too smart to be writing about videogames for a living. I hope he does have a real gig lined up and it's not just a lateral move to MTVgamez.

I hope he does have a real gig lined up and it's not just a lateral move to MTVgamez. His filibuster for invisible inc was an awesome capstone to a first year on the job. he does that stuff all the time and shows how actually preparing and putting in effort makes a podcast more entertaining to listen to. But yea in hindsight that probably means he's over qualified for the job.

Austin should be a professor or in medical research or something. Meanwhile, Tricky ended up right where he belongs.

Austin was kind of an insufferable try hard at times but whoever they hire is almost certainly going to be worse so rip.

Someone will make a supercut of him saying "I'm just not that guy  " on the Giant Beastcast and you'll know exactly what i'm talking about. See also: him and Alex being giant babies about South Park during the Fractured but Whole trailer. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

and it actually sounds kinda cool if vice is hiring austin to get serious about video game stories. They did an interesting 8 minute documentary of the guy who made Hyper Light Drifter http://www.vice.com/video/pixel-by-pixel-alx-preston-hyper-light-drifter

I'm happy for the very good boy Austin even though I'll miss him playing off Alex and Vinny. They do well at finding the right people to hire so I'm hopeful.
