We will all miss you terribly, but all the best to you.

Thank you very much for what you do.

VINNY!

Thanks, Austin.

Loved you Austin, you were the best

I LOVE YOU AND I'LL MISS YOU AUSTIN

Everyone should inspire to be more like Austin. Thanks for everything! <>

:( Good luck, Austin! Don't forget to stop around the Beastcast now and then.

Seriously. I never would've found Austin's stuff without GB, and I'm so glad that I got to check it out. Thanks, man--good luck, and I am super excited to do what you do next.

I really enjoyed everything Austin brought to Giant Bomb East in such a short amount of time and hope he does well wherever he ends up.

Bye, duder.<>

Seeya Austin, yous a cool guy.

So heartbroken. This news is honestly just... devastating to me. I was hoping he would be here for a long, long time. Austin you will be sorely, sorely missed.

Best of luck!

I'm gonna miss you on this site, Austin. Good luck.

Best hire since inception. You left so soon after joining, but you left your mark. I love you, duder.

Please visit very often. Have a good life!

Thank you Austin!

? I've not been able to see today's coverage, what am I missing?

legitimately inspiring dude who I love, keep doing great work

Love you Austin thanks for all the great work you have given us

I wish you the best of luck on your future.

Dude GBEAST won't be the same this is crazy! Your a real cool duder.

You rocked it Austin, good luck in your future endeavours - and you better appear on GB content in the future!

Thanks for everything Austin! I met you at this years PAX EAST and asked you what Gunpla I should get. I still haven't figured it out yet... Best of luck man!

Thank you for being so awesome. I hope the best for your future.

I'm legit crying, you were the best GB member of all time, I hope wherever you go we still get to see a lot of you, wherever it may be.

Love you fam, good luck in the future!

I'll miss your Gundam talk Austin!

your the best austin!

Thank you for bringing your voice here, it was beautiful and you'll be missed.

Good luck duder we'll miss you T_T

It took you less than a year to become my favorite dude at Giant Bomb and I will definitely be keeping tabs on whatever it is you're going off to do. Go do awesome shit, man!

Thank you Austin for all the great articles and video content you've brought to this website. Your fantastic sense of humor and insightful knowledge will be missed!

You're awesome. Best of luck in whatever you have planned.

Can someone explain? I haven't been keeping up! I assume he's leaving?

I'm not kidding when I say this, but Austin was my favorite addition to the staff this website ever had. I'm heartbroken to see him leave, but wherever he goes I'll be paying close attention. One of the smartest guys in this business and I wish him the best.

I'm really bummed to hear this! He was such a great addition to GBeast that it'll be weird to not have him around. Best of luck though Austin. Once a Giant Bomb Duder, always a GB Duder! <3

Well this site is dead, onto the next.

*Looks at the state of games journalism.*

Fuck.

So sincerely, when he first joined I said I wanted to be Austin when I grew up and I still want to and it really sucks that he's leaving to only write on his own blog that I'll bookmark but only check like every six months on bored weekends.

This was left field

Man, such a shame, you were so awesome! Good luck with your stuff!

thank you so much for what you've done Austin, I'm excited for you to bring your magic to cool new projects

Austin you're the best and I hope the future's gonna be as bright as you. Good luck! <>

Damn you Austin for leaving! But thanks for the gifs! And take care.

Austin -- your insight on the Beastcast, your jokes, your energy, your laugh (so contagious). Gonna miss everything you brought to the site. Thanks for everything -- looking forward to seeing what's next for you.

I've been exposed to a whole lot of things I would never have seen if not for you, you brought so much to this site and I cannot wait to see what's going to happen next. Best of luck dude, I love you.

Good luck mate, I wish you all the best. I really enjoyed your time on giant bomb!

Wait... is this like the Brad is leaving joke and I'm just not in on it or is Austin Walker really leaving Giantbomb?

Such a positive influence on Giantbomb. Dont be a stranger!

Thank you for everything Austin. Your insight and empathy has made me think a lot more about what I think about when I play games, and in life in general. Also, you're just a funny and great duder. Can't wait to find out what you're doing next, but you will be missed!

Good luck Austin. You're a great guy.
