At least this will keep the lights on.
But I'd be surprised if the core crew stays through 2014. I don't really see genuine excitement there, just bemused relief.
But it's what's happening, it keeps the podcast and quicklooks going for the next few years which is honestly more than it really seems like it would have lasted otherwise.

Where are you guys seeing this?
This should have it's own thread when the time comes.

He could actually be really pleased. Think about it, the execs that caused that whole mess are no longer with the company and the parent corp. decided to get him back. He could see it as a triumph.
Probably on accident.

almost certain the reasons will be lies to maintain the integrity of gamespot.

Yes. I feel better they are addressing this.
Something tells me they won't go into detail. I'd love to be proven wrong.
its the whiskey site with the most clicks.

Looking forward to the fireside chat. The truth will come out!
Not sure how I feel about the sale. I'll wait and see what happens.

Guessing Jeff's explanation will be something that has nothing to do with his new employer being bought and paid for and more some third party that does not work with them anymore.
It was a very public scandal and I am sure it was someone's idea to have Jeff make a video explaining why it's okay now.

Jeff isn't talking about the controversy, what are you guys talking about?
That's also by accident.
Putting selfish worries aside, I'm really happy for the Whiskey crew. They deserve this if it comes with a big payoff. They've gone against the grain and taken a big risk, and we've all loved them for it.
If CBS is smart they'll understand that they can't neuter the site. It has to be left alone or else they'll smother it out. My guess is that this just means more resources and money for Giant Bomb to use in their operations and that they'll get to continue to do their same wacky stuff.

Not like this, 
is brad really leaving?
is brad really leaving?who fucking cares?
Either it's going to be because of the review, which is disguisting
or it's going to be something boring, which is boring.

I don't understand, has he not discussed it before? Why is he now talking about it a few years later when he's once again working for the company that let him go to start with? If people didn't think he was being truthful before or revealing everything I would have to think there's even less chance of that now...

What do you mean? He just said he's going to talk to John Davison at 4PM about why he got fired from GameSpot.

I am super confident about this. If Jeff's excited, I'm excited. I want bigger, better, more Giant Bomb, so I am down.
