gamebomb.ru has the last laugh

 

[Backfoggen]

Man, I wish I'll be wrong but this sounds pretty awful.

 

[Requeim]

Oh well, it's been good you guys. We had good 4 years. And the endurance runs will always be there

 

[Barrett2]

I wonder how much money Shelbie lost on it.

 

[Akia]

The only good thing that can come from this:

JOHN DAVISON BETTER BE ON THE BOMBCAST NOW

I can't believe Johnny English is Giant Bomb's new boss.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Boom. Tested.com

this is the worst twist since that blind guy revealed it was the bible

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Read between the lines, dude. Whiskey Media failed, and they're selling it for scrap.

He seems pretty honest to me so far. Maybe he's convinced that it's not the same company anymore?

I think people are "reading between the lines" too much at the moment.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Changing email, removing credit card, and I hope they didn't give it to CBS in this transfer. If I get one email from them, I will rain hellfire.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Tested starting to talk about Art, Science and Tech.
Tons of more content; sounds like Tested good the good end of this deal and GB got shafted.

OH SHIT AT THE REVEAL AT THE END OF THE TESTED VIDEO

The only good thing that can come from this:

JOHN DAVISON BETTER BE ON THE BOMBCAST NOW

I can't believe Johnny English is Giant Bomb's new boss.

I will unsubscribe if that happens. I want to hear about video-games not shitty CONSOLES WILL FAIL predictions.

 

[close to the edge]

As long as Jeff and Ryan are still running things, I'm not too concerned. You guys are just panicking.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Now, I'm not a dramatic guy, especially when it comes to the intertubes and video games (lol mass effect 3). But I feel like I'm being stabbed in the heart.

I feel the same. I never loved one site as much as GB.

 

[Vire]

Wasn't the entire point of GiantBomb, to splinter away from the corporate shackling of Gamespot? Remember that whole Kane and Lynch debacle?

FUCK THIS SHIT.

 

[Karkador]

Maybe the pancakes are poisoned and this is a mass suicide video?

 

[shadyspace]

All I can hope from all of this is at least Tested stays the same.

 

[Kandrick]

What the fuck is happening ? They can't really be happy about that. They are just trolling right ?

 

[sixghost]

He seems pretty honest to me so far. Maybe he's convinced that it's not the same company anymore?

I think people are "reading between the lines" too much at the moment.

I think they realize that the last 4 years was an extremely unique opportunity, and it wasn't sustainable. So it's time to get back to work.

 

[derFeef]

sooo sad, both tested and GB.
the break up... why... whhhyyyy

 

[Qwomo]

I'm going to wait for them to sell this to me before unsubscribing.

So far they are definitely not coming close to making me happy.

 

[Chuck]

So much fucking bullshit. This isn't Giant Bomb at all.

 

[Deadly Joker]

This is fucking depressing...

 

[Barrett2]

He seems pretty honest to me so far. Maybe he's convinced that it's not the same company anymore?

I think people are "reading between the lines" too much at the moment.

Yep. When you work in an amazing San Fransisco startup basement office with your best friends, you someday dream of being split up and sold to some huge corporate conglomerate.

[Backfoggen]

Why is every site related to this crapping up for me? Tested.com isn't loading, Giantbomb.com isn't loading. Even the justin.tv page isn't loading!

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

You guys are so melodramatic. It's a website. This thread is embarrassing.

 

[Gala]

This makes me even more sad than the Mass Effect 3 ending

 

[MiniBossBattle]

WHO GETS BATMANBATMANBATMAN.COM?????

 

[Deleted member 22576]

DAVE IS COMING WITH THEM

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

"It requires someone behind us with faith in out ability to do dumb things" liiiiike your subscribers?

 

[Jasper Avenue]

I'm alright with this.

 

[Brobzoid]

dave comin with. good shit.

 

[Prodigal]

Lol you guys are such babies, GB will be fine.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

Dave is coming. Crisis somewhat averted.

The Tested News

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3WLG8_dfX9M

http://www.tested.com/news/so-whats-happening-with-tested-video/3744/

That video was fantastic.

I don't care who owns what. As long as they keep pumping out good content: I'm happy. I hope this doesn't hurt their cross promotion stuff. I like seeing the GB guys visit Tested & vice versa.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I give it 18 months.

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

Man, this really depresses me. The giantbomb guys are going to be splitting up with Tested and Rorie. At least Dave is coming.

And they're really talking about Gamespot a lot...


The change for tested seems awesome though.

 

[SpudBud]

Giant Bomb and Tested were the dream team. The dream is dead.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Yep. When you work in an amazing San Fransisco startup basement office with your best friends, you someday dream of being split up and sold to some huge corporate conglomerate.

I didn't say this is the perfect outcome, but in a reality where they need cash, they seem pretty happy about going back to CBS.

I think you guys are projecting your own disappointment on them.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

You guys are so melodramatic. It's a website. This thread is embarrassing.

Clearly you weren't here for 1UP Apocalypse

Alex Navarro is going full time with Giant Bomb, I'm sure you guys love that right?!

 

[StopMakingSense]

Alex full time GB.

 

[Willkiller]

Dave stays. Phew.

 

[KarmaCow]

At least Tested is getting the support it really needed now. Hopefully they can still keep it casual with more people.

 

[Gowans]

Dave going too?

So which staff in all are heading over?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Well we're still getting funny stories.

 

[panda21]

whats happening to Dave????

 

[NubCakes09]

As long as they keep doing what they're doing, I'm a happy camper.

 

[Hoo-doo]

What about Vinny? Drew? Coonce? ;_;

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Dave going too?

So which staff in all are heading over?

Cool Baby and Luchadeer

 

[Messofanego]

I'm scared, too.

 

[parasight]

Luchadeer coming? Crisis averted.

 

[Drakeon]

What about Vinny? Drew? Coonce? ;_;

Why would vinny leave?
