Giant Bomb is the colmination of Jeff Gerstman's ego attempting to express how much he thinks people give a crap about him.

clearly people do, or else the site wouldn't be so popular. I like him, and Ryan, as i think their funny and write well.
I was happier when Brad joined the them...I always liked his writing.Giantbomb's beta site launch isn't until Monday so don't expect to all have a fully working site for everyone to login to on Monday. A few weeks ago they announced in a podcast that if you sent an email and were lucky enough to get chosen you could become one of their beta site testers and be able to reserve your username. They have since announced, during their E3 coverage, that the beta site launch testing would occur the week after E3. Therefore if all goes to plan Monday should be the start of the Giantbomb beta site launch test and then depending on how that goes it shouldn't be long till the site is open to the public.
So to everyone saying "see you all around, i'm off to Giantbomb!" i wouldn't be too quick to say goodbye because you wont get in unless you've been chosen. Atleast thats my understanding of the situation.
Personally i will be still here on Gamespot and most likely on Giantbomb aswell as the two sites appeal to me.

no that's wrong, anyone can join. I'll personally be leaving GS to go there. It's become a pit ever since november and all of the good ones are gone; I feel like I'm next in line.
Is the GiantBomb site now loading for anyone else?I can't load it either. I imagine its getting quite a bit of traffic
Its just white, with one of those red X's for a picture that can't be displayed...
..Oh, and when the site is launched, I'll probably go for the odd video, or maybe a week-in-update video type thing, cause they can be funny....
I'll be staying to gamespot for most things, and the forum.IcyToasters

Oh, and did you know nobody can quote anything you say without removing your name, because GS censors your username, what with it having a cuss word in ithazbazzHe's known this for a while now. :P
I have a gut feeling that this site is going to fail hard.JC346
What, pray tell, leads you to that conclusion?
I'm definitely going to start posting on GB's forums, but I'm not sure how much it will impact my GS activity as of yet.
[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]I agree. Were it not for Gerstmann-gate, no one would care about Giant Bomb.

And a bunch of the users who I've seen saying they are leaving are like level 10... surely they weren't even around for that...
You are a fool to think that level=experience... I have been on 6 months more than you have and I am only level 11!

Big deal. A site from someone I didn't care about when they were here.LJS9502_basic
I was thinking the same thing. I won't be going there.
[QUOTE="mattyftm"][QUOTE="Samwel_X"]Are people actually leaving the gamespot forums for this new website?Lairdo91
I'm not leaving, but if giant bomb lives up to expectations (which I think it will) it will become my main games website. I'll still come here, but alot less.
Same for me pretty much.
Same here too.
Can't wait.
I won't be leaving Gamespot, I'll probably just have both Gamespot and GiantBomb's pages loaded up in different tabs, and switch between them. I like the whole Wikipedia type thing they're going to have, can't wait for that part.
The only reason I'll still be on here for, is the forum.
