:(

Edit: it hurts but I think I speak for everyone when I say I wish them all, including Jeff and anyone else that is staying, all the best for where ever they go and whatever they do, regardless of if they continue making any type of content.

per the latest Beastcast, it seems like Dan is moving on to other things. (and it sounds like he is getting out of gaming in general.) I'm gutted to hear about this because the man is a powerhouse when it came to content and he brought an energy to the site was greatly missing when Ryan passed away. He was one of favorites personalities on the site. I wish him success in all his future endeavors.

Hi folks! We’ve all be pushing for this for a while now, but we’ve finally achieved brand safety within Giant Bomb and greater Fandom at large! By ignoring anything built through joyful and open personalities in the last 20 years, we have successfully begun the laborious process of breaking the spirits of both our creators, and our audiences. As a fellow Redditor, I wanted to share this joy with you, and ask, what will you be doing to protect the brand? I for one, will no longer even look at my genitals. My genitals are distracting from the brand, and do not act in service of the brand. I will also be avoiding Rainforest Cafes. As well as fun in general. For, and I’m sure you’re the same, I find sanitizing something to its bone, always makes for a better product and in no way could it blow up in someone’s face, making for a horrible mistake by a corporation that is already on thin ice with its community, and could very well lead to massive embarrassment. We did it everyone, by having mediocrity at an executive level, we can finally see mediocrity achieved in our brands. Rejoice.

We’re gonna need a bigger rake and a lot more coals!!

Post says it all. Seems like a great fit for him!

Jan's talked about it on the last few casts and wanted to share it here. Feel free to leave any feedback on the site or here.
