Joe Blackburn

also great

they called out the one gambit map kel's grave which is it's extra funny because that was one thing that i think like joe blackburn called out in a director's cut like two years ago where he's like oh we're we're working on getting this back in the game and now it's like no fuck this match specifically it's totally fine i mean but they said

that those things are going to take away from other future projects and like if you're going to cut something out of this Yeah.

It's the gambit map.

So the ones on the ballot that are...

Joe Blackburn and Clint Weaver.

Yeah, Joe Blackburn and Clint Weaver will be...

And they are both scheduled

to join us next week on Thursday.

This podcast will return on Thursday, the 29th.

Uh, invitations have gone out to the candidates that are running for council that have no opposition.

Uh, so that was Mike Regner, uh, Clint Weaver and Joe Blackburn.

they clearly just didn't have like yeah i'm trying to think of

any leadership i've heard people like maybe joe blackburn might be the only like and people love people talk as well but yeah um uh it's it's pretty rare i've heard a lot of about about uh Porya and Josh as well like people have come out and said that they're really great to work with and stuff but previous like people above game director position it's pretty hard to think of examples of a ton of employees being like they were the greatest people to work for ever Yeah, I mean, I feel like

I mean, Luke Smith, I think is still like one of those is one of those Luke's Luke Smith is always going to be somebody who's a polarizing figure.

Yeah, we're really gonna like working with him.

Like, he was a passionate, smart guy.

So, like, I think he's more divisive.

Joe Blackburn was, I think, probably the closest thing in the Destiny realm of somebody who was just universally loved.

I think Tyson was universally respected for his time there.

... on hiatus for however long it takes for the new hires to reacquaint themselves or to learn about how the Tiger engine works in Destiny 2, and then try and bring back this, this content that we have been told by all accounts is, is pretty much gone.

I mean, I feel like it was kind of a constant thing that Joe Blackburn had to say of like, "Yeah, we're not...

There's not gonna be this opportunity that we're gonna bring all this data back, you know, prior to the final shape." I mean, it was one of the things that people kept harping on every time we had a developer interview, and it was, you know, in our case, whenever we had folks on, we just weren't going to talk about that.

And then whenever it was-

Yeah

...

Joe Blackburn in the hot, hot seat, he was always very apologetic and saying, "Look, stuff's gotta get cut." And now we're finding out that apparently stuff isn't getting cut, or at least some of the stuff isn't getting cut.

Obviously, it sounds like seasons are probably temporary by design and will not be coming back, so there's still gonna be parts of this game that we're never gonna see again.

My heart says point, my head says three, no loss.

everyone knows that I'm the pessimist Joe Blackburn is somewhere going 4-1 Leeds so that will balance out the universe somewhere we'll talk about the rest of the games as well so on the right hand side for those watching you can see Arsenal's run of form in the last couple of games on the left hand side you will see Leeds next run of five games which is not a straightforward run of games and it's unusual Gerry to be able to say this out loud but We're ahead of every single one of these teams in the table as it stands right now.

So we go away to Arsenal.

Then we host that lot from Manchester at home.
