Brad's not leaving. He's integral.
He and Vinny are the necessary counter-balance to Jeff and Ryan's personalities.

The end of Screened? They were running on a skeleton crew as is.
But they are a private company.
The second shit hits the fan expect jobs to be cut at Giantbomb or Gamespot.
Then what is screened? the next animevice?
This is great if true.
So basically Screened is dead?
There's a 12 month old joke of people saying "Guys, I heard Brad is leaving..." on EVERY SINGLE live GiantBomb event. That's what I was alluding to not being funny at all.
People say it on the Live Chat all the time - it was even a "time out" offense for a while, but I guess they just gave up on punishing it.
Jeff said it on the Stream as a joke. Brad is coming along.

Huh, what if they included movie reviews and junk on Giant Bomb? If it's all Rorie all the time, I'm ok with that.

I'm fine with Alex, but I have to say Rorie is fucking annoying. Even though I remember his Dark Souls QL being really good, so maybe there's some hidden potential.
Well time to start downloading and archiving all GB premium content/ER/bombcast and select awesome quick looks for the inevitable collapse a year from now...I will miss you.

Dave and Drew are on board. The GB flight-club lives on.

I'm pretty sad about this honestly, I loved the tested giant bomb cross overs. Norm, Will and Rorie too added to the fun shit around the office so I will really miss that.
And me, Sam, another engineer.

God damn you! I closed the tab as soon as I saw the title but the damage was done and now it's in my head. I hate you.

How could you forget Sam?
Screened will post Youtube trailers and have some random dude blog for them.
This is fucking nuts. I'm so psyched.
Pssh, if Rorie is really joining Giant Bomb, that's great news IMO.
Dave is going back to Gamespot along with them.

We all know the real reason for the buyout... It's the wiki.
Slap a Gamespot logo on it and you're done.

It's a very emotional time for all of us :'(

So I missed the live news and their post about the news doesn't have a video and doesn't actually talk about the news. From what I've gathered, Tested is now a separate site and GB got bought out by Gamespot? What happens to my subscription since I'm paying for both? And WTF?
Sounds like Tested is making all premium videos free, while GB is going to be giving coupons to members that can be exchanged for Gamespot memberships.
Sorry, I didn't catch your name on the Stream..
So, for Giantbomb:
Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Vinny, Drew, Patrick, Alex (Navarro), Rorie (according to people on this thread),
For Anime Vice:
Tony and Sarah
Engineering (I'm guessing engineering will be shared between/with other sites?):
Dave, Jeff (other Jeff), Alexis, Sam
That's not a big chunk of people to dismiss in one year. Anybody that wouldn't be used already didn't come with, I'm sure.
With the popularity of Wikia that was probably CBS's main concern.
I wish it were the other way....
Alex is the worst writer at whiskey by a country mile

No, I believe that doing those features with crossover from TESTED and SCREENED people is finished. That's how I read the question and answer at least.
EDIT:
From the FormSpring:
Q:
This sucks because there won't be anymore of the traditional random GB content like Happy Hour, NES marathons, Random PC gaming, doing funny shit with the Tested crew. Today is a sad day.
asked by StaticPrism
A:
We will miss doing stuff with Tested, but their new thing is pretty amazing, right?
What? Don't toy with my heart like that.

4 hours and 15 minutes from now
What about Mike? I love Mike
The whole prevailing mood kinda reminds me of the very last 1UP Yours episode several years back, but I have faith in Jeff and Co.
Something people haven't considered yet is GameSpot being merged into GiantBomb. It sounds ridiculous but, after today, anything goes at this point.

I'm really glad that when my subscription came up a few days ago I didn't have time to renew it, because it would essentially get me shit now

Mike is the best. He's going with Tested/Screened.
Fuck, so late. Well...he better be on first.

Yeah Rorie is terrible.
Some people are scared of GS people being in content, but I'd be more worried about him and his verbal diarrhea.
