Then again I have a feeling that all this means that if this hadn't happened, we wouldn't have had a GB in 2013. So maybe this will buy us an extra year of GB content that we wouldn't have had otherwise.
John Davison is a big part of why this doesn't bother me. I love what that guy does, and I trust him to run a website and keep shit honest.
Seconded. John addressed (on the On The Spot live stream for a brief period) the importance of keeping GiantBomb and GameSpot as completely different entities, stressing the difference in coverage and content, so I'm not worried here.
One interesting of note: John mentioned that both Comic Vine and Giant Bomb are moving to the new offices TODAY. Talk about not wasting time.

No, but tomorrow is pretty much the deadline for them to explain why before the users start asking a lot of questions. Tomorrow is TNT day plus Tested live streams their podcast. If neither of those events take place then something is definitely amiss.
I just hope it's not something insane like a merger with CNET. I'd rather have the sentient mold.
Great. They already had to cut down on the silly stuff around the office once they moved to the Whiskey office, now its gonna be cut down even more.One interesting of note: John mentioned that both Comic Vine and Giant Bomb are moving to the new offices TODAY. Talk about not wasting time.

Yes, horrendous. I really hope GB keeps its current video format.oh my god the video player and the layout of the site is AWFUL.
Bleh. They were only on for a few minutes.
This explains why there has been so little content on Giantbomb lately.
I want my money back.
So Dave is going with them then? Is that what people are assuming or was it explicitly stated? I feel kind of bad for Matt Rorie.
It's never been clear that Whiskey wasn't making money. In fact, why would CBS buy GB with no major changes or layoffs? Especially since CBS owns gamespot, one of the biggest gaming websites in the world?
This stream/show/whatever it is might be the worst thing ive ever seen about videogames. "HOW MANY WEAPONS? HOW MANY LEVELS? HOW MANY CHARACTERS?" bleh.
Just logged in. What's going on? Gamespot bought Giant Bomb?
This also means that the Happy Hour is officially dead.
Oh man.
GB is now owned by the same company that owns Metacritic.
I did my partJeff said that subscriptions were literally the only thing keeping them going during the stream.

Oh God fucking dammit!Thier parent company did... but Tested was bought by someone else.
It is like two friends moving to separate ends of the country
Also, something happened Screened. Poor Rorie.
If they're able to keep doing what they're doing I can accept this. I'm also a big fan of John Davison so that helps, I know that dude is on the level

Did I say today was going to be bonkers? Because I meant it's going to be bizonkers. Bananaspants. Totes bizarro. All the way cray-cray.
Alex getting the sixth chair.
A silver lining!
Rewatching the live stream from earlier. I'm already much more happy than I was before.
So Giant Bomb DOES NOT EQUAL GameSpot am I right?
There are two separate website owned by the same company, correct?
As long as GB stays GB and gets crazier, I'm excited!
