Dan has the best stories, he's the Kramer of videogame podcasting

Only two Jeffs? Those are Rookie numbers.
Clearly, some in the crew need to legally change their names to save the Jeffness of GiantBomb.

Honestly, Grubb Snax has been one of the things I look forward to each week, so keen to see more.

Honestly hoping for a return of Demo Disc Derby. It's a fascinating look back at the time of PS & PS2 games that I want to see more of.

User warned: Concern trolling around domestic abuse
I love a lot of that crew! The announcement feels strange in the shadow of Jeff's departure though. It's as if he was never there.

I also think it's really important to remember Grubb's problematic takes on Twitter recently, in which he belittled domestic abuse when talking about the Depp/Heard trial and implied that anyone who believes Depp was a victim actually just hates women.



I've defended Grubb a lot on Era in the past but this was a step too far. As far as I know, he hasn't apologized or commented further.

So excited that Dan is back, he is frankly one of the only people who could have made this news turn around in a good way for me. Will miss Jeff of course, but Dan is going to be great!

I don't want to sound dour about GB, but I definitely spent less and less time there last few years.

This line-up looks AWESOME.

God damn that is a murderer's row of gaming personalities.

Hope this doesn't kill the Fire Escape Cast.

As sad as it is to see Jeff leave this is a pretty hype crew, ngl. Let's see how it shakes out! 🍿

Having Dan back without Jeff or the others is very bittersweet. What could've been.
