Plante is out as editor. Massive layoffs across the staff, including Nicole Carpenter, Petrana Radulovic, Michael McWhertor, maybe Charlie Hall...

Fucking hell. I wouldn't have even tried to start writing about games without that site. Goddamnit all.

Absolutely devastating news. Jenna Stoeber has been laid off from Polygon, amid rounds of layoffs at Vox Media.

Please follow up with her if you have any leads on new jobs she’d be great for.

[sheriffofmagic]

rewatching gng and it’s making me nostalgic for a bunch of things I’d forgotten about so here’s some of my faves:

chat spamming “this is good content tara”

brian calling pat “pat gill” all the time

frank advice

them constantly misfiring the different buttons

that time tony hawk responded to them??

anytime one of them (almost always brian) would wear something that blends onto the bg

gilling in the name of :’)

that time they restarted a stream three (3) times because they didnt know how twitch worked

brian just singing… all the time… for no reason

so many weird, extremely cursed noises

[sheriffofmagic]

additional things I’m reminded of in rewatching gng

pat having to physically allow chat to say piss every stream because twitch is a prude and we are the most cursed audience

gng @ e3 having the most chaotic, anxious energy I’ve ever seen in one place

pat being allergic to challenges even when they thought he wouldn’t be

brian going on long anecdotes about his past

pat and brian’s 14 sons

so much piss

no really idk how much piss you think you remember, its more than that

brian pretending to understand wwe

lads constantly forgetting to switch back to gameplay and commentating the whole time while we’re stuck only on their faces

pat pronouncing naruto wrong

seriously, the weird noises?? it’s A Lot like are they alright???

[chaoticwhiteboys]

Josh and his partner got engaged! Congrats, Josh!
