I swear to god I typed in "gamespot" and it went to giant bomb. I haven't even gone to that website in years and yet that's where I got taken, theres even the "gamespot" logo next to the icon which says "giant bomb". But when I go back and try it again it just brings me to gamespot.

This must part of Jeff gerstmann's plan to have his site swallow GS. This must be his revenge.

One thing I actually like a lot about giant bomb is their forums are grey like gamespot's. ( atleast that's how I remember them.). One of the only reasons I go to the gamespot forums is because they have the color perfect.

If this 404's a giant bomb thing, then apparently giant bomb's trying to mess with this site. Not sure why this site's getting a 404 error from giant bomb.

Just because it links to giant bomb doesn't mean their the ones causing it, I mean I seriously doubt that. Probably a gerstmann fanboy.

Gamespot.com tabs have the GiantBomb icon. Is there going to be some kind of merger? And has "GiantBomb.com" always been in the links at the bottom of the page? EDIT: Oh, both sites are owned by CBS, didn't realise this.

Too late for what? Me too. I get that ridiculous looking horse character every 10 times I click a link on this site. And I am being generous when I say every 10 times.

There was a tear in the timeline because of that comet that went past. In the future Gerstmann buys Gamespot and liquidates it into Giant Bomb.

Yeah, it freaked me the hell out. It's weird considering Giantbomb was formed from ex-gamespot members and now they're owned by CBS again the owners of gamespot.
