It's crazy how excited I am to hear about Jeff being fired. I know the story probably won't be as interesting as we imagine, but it's been so long!

For anyone who gives a fuck about this part, I don't expect the change to affect my ability to occasionally show up in Giant Bomb content like TNT to irritate their audience. The CBS offices are about the same drive from my house as the old WM ones were, the only difference I won't be able to just transition from the Tested podcast to the TNT couch as both were usually recorded on the same day in the same office. But I have friends at Gamespot as well as GB so I'm happy to make the trip and take part in any content they might want me for.

tl;dr SHOOT THAT GUY

Well TNT would be pretty fucked if they didn't have anyone to let them know to SHOOT THAT GUY.

Glad to hear you're still be popping in Gary :) Thanks for the update.

I'm glad your involvement with Tested isn't effected by this. The podcast wouldn't be the same if they had to find another 3rd.

If they start getting bossed around by execs, what's to stop them from leaving again? Seriously?

I'm ready for "Giant Bomb 2: This Time, It's Personal"

Yeah, then they can solicit MORE premium membership fees. Quite a racket these guys have going.

The Tested thing is still so incredibly unreal to me.

That is so cool for both of them, and I know that Will and Norm will fit right in with the group at Mythbusters.


I hope this will open up opportunities for Jamie or Adam to at least be on video stuff or podcast with them.

Great to hear. Giantbomb content wouldn't be the same without the occasional dose of Whitta.

Whoa, that's a really good idea. Quick, someone run it across Jeff!

Actually I'd be surprised if they didn't do something like that. Then again I suppose they may not have any time to.

Patrick said something on his forumspring that they were planning on doing videos about their new offices and such.


Now, first video I want to see (After the one today) is the throwdown between Jeff and Kevin VanOrd over Too Human

I think it's not really Adam and Jamie joining Tested.com, but more a case of Will and Norm getting picked up for a tech-related website that's based around the Mythbusters.

We'll see though.
 
#saverorie is being spammed in the chat now.

Poor guy. Hopefully he'll land somewhere. Nobody ever wants anyone to be hurt. Sometimes it just happens.
 
The new Tested podcast going up today will answer a lot of questions and give a lot more information about what you can expect going forward. It's all super-exciting stuff, I am really thrilled for Will and Norm, this is a huge leap forward for them.

Yeah, we'll see how this works out. It's still a bit hard to believe that this is a full crossover, but just seeing Adam and Jamie next to Will and Norm for two seconds made my day.
 
If Rorie didn't know what was going on then that's pretty funny in a really dark way. He's always struck me as kinda of an emo dude, I can just imagine him coming to work and the offices are locked and he has no idea why.

I don't like him very much, but he loves Dark Souls, and for that alone I hope he ends up somewhere... that isn't Giant Bomb.

I'm looking forward to it. What I want to know most is, how soon can we expect new content to start showing up on the site again.

I had a minor freakout when he pulled out and saw them..

I was like "HOLY SHIT NO WAY." when the video first started I noticed the boxes behind them and was like "That looks like something from mythbusters"
 
The whole thing with Rorie went from unfortunate collateral damage to making me feel really uneasy and uncomfortable. I don't like what I'm hearing one bit.

Not to mention not a single person has mentioned him. Not during the announcement livestream, not on twitter or formspring. Nothing.
 
I get back from work and read this story with what's going on. Wow is all I can say.
At least I can finally hear the truth about GerstmannGate.
