Acting like any of the dozens of faceless hacks writing for a cookiecutter "journalism" website have ANY semblance of a personality or unique voice enough to warrant a personal goodbye is full of lulz.

Austin? The guy who now runs a site where articles about Pokemon sex and dicks can be read? Yeah, Patrick would really bring the quality down.

Austin's worst is better than anything Patrick did.

I wouldn't mind a giant bomb guest spot if it meant Jeff burying him as hard as he did on the e3 live show

I looked through the authors for the last month of Vice Gaming articles. Our boy Austin "We need more diverse voices in games media" Walker has two white girls (one article each), one black girl (one article), one brown guy, and like eight white guys who mostly have multiple articles.

So your obvious next step is to hire Patrick Klepek.

he is a decent smart dude that frequently checked his own poo poo with the gb crew, but from the collaboration articles on the site and prob the vice stuff i haven't read its clear all the dudes friends are dumb rear end false intellectual types
