It could be a catch all Whiskey Media site, with separate categories for games, film, tech and comics. Make it a one stop destination.

It already exists, it's called Google Reader.
 
Yeah, I came to this thread because of odd lack of content on Giant Bomb and Tested this week. It has to be something big for them to seemingly stop working...
 
Yeah, totally not sure if I am excited or nervous for this announcement. Wouldn't be the first time something shitty has been spun as "No guys, honestly, this is good for us!"

I mean, I've not heard comments like that from GB or Whiskey in general before, just remembering hearing how "great" all those mergers were going to be for 1up and I can't tell you the last time I visited that site.
 
The increasing number of songs/singing outros for TNT... The box of dry ice... It's all pointing to one thing: Giant Bomb World Tour: Concert Edition.


That, or they've finally settled their differences with RVGW and going through with that merger.

The only thing that has me worried is that no one is the office and they're not telling us why. If it was something dumb and wasn't related to this news, they probably would have told us what's happening.

The bombcast going premium was the closest to that Whiskey has ever gotten. It was really weird to hear Jeff, Dave, and Ryan selling something so hard.

I'm gonna be pretty let down if it's bad news. Why hype up bad news? Hopefully it's something new and awesome.

Exactly. I think if they got acquired it would be great news as long as they have control of their content and direction. One of my worries is Whiskey Media bleeding money until they cease to exist. Just speculating, but there have been a lot of signs that they aren't turning a profit. As long as the future of Whiskey Media is secure I'm a happy man!
 
TMZ is reporting that:
@willsmith was sold to "Fresh Prince" Will Smith for $20 Million. Gary made it happen when he was on the set of A.E.

shamelessly stolen from the tested.com thread

I can't imagine how them being acquired would be good news. They are literally in the best possible situation right now when it comes to ownership. I forget the guys name, but I think it's the CNet guy who owns Whiskey, and he seems content to let them build up their readerbase without milking revenue out of the sites in shitty ways.
 
Announcement spoiled! Cards Against Humanity (that they did on a TNT) available again from Amazon:

Base: Link
First Expansion: Link

(No, this isn't it, just thought people wanna know)

:p

In principle I'd agree with you there - it was a case of selling something hard but...

Given the circumstances I was totally ok with it. They were upfront about the need for money to be coming into the site, and really only had a few things to use to try and sell you on that idea. The fact that they went so far as to put a number up to keep it "free" was huge of them, and I always thought pretty damn cool.

This though? I dunno. Could totally be something awesome and those guys totally deserve a win - but it's being handled really weird right now. Fingers crossed it *is* something good.
