I really don't care one bit about this to be honest. CBS is one of the main places that broadcasts the NCAA tournament so I like them.

CBS is not evil, just not big on seeing Giant Bomb as a sister site.

I see. I guess I'm just neutral towards Giant Bomb - I neither like nor dislike it. I have an account there and posted a few times back when the site was still new, but eventually just came back to lurking here.

Yeah, I've been there. Had a profile there since the beginning... and then it disappeared. I still don't know why.

How does it suck though? And really, how could it be worse than our forums....

I don't mind Giantbomb, it's obviously a less developed website than gamespot, however I'd say the quality is probably similar in the sense that the main employees for Giantbomb are ex-Gamespot. I used to be the top poster in Giantbomb, the day it was released lol.

Giant Bomb is okay. I used to post there some, but got bored of it. I'm not a big fan of the site, but I don't hate it either. With that said, I don't really mind that CBS bought it.

I'd probably be a lot more active on it if it didn't have so many coding problems. Though, that seems to be common with Whiskey Media sites.

New profile is up... maybe this one will last....

Are you from Giant Bomb and someone who still frequents the site? I've never seen you post here before until now. This is the only post I've seen you make, and it just so happens to be in a Giant Bomb-related thread.

One of my friends posted on this topic and I saw it in my channel feed. Since it was about Giantbomb's move, I wanted to know what everyone felt from both sides of the argument. I use both sites.

And it sounds like it used to be a great site that went downhill, not sure how true that is though. What site hasn't gone downhill these days? This site used to be better but has also met a similar fate.

I'm not a regular on that site, but from what I've seen, it doesn't seem to be any better or worse than before. But of course, it's hard for me to tell very good, since I haven't been a regular there.

Well, so far nothing really bad has happened here now that Giant Bomb and CBS have merged, unless they got future plans, everything is still neutral.

I feel like GiantBomb now has limits to how many time they can record video using the massive green room since it is shared. Hopefully they can record video in their offices.

Well gamespot now has that same problem as well since they both are gonna use it. I'm sure they will work something out though.

Yes. :P About the only thing big that's happened so far though, that I can think of, is OT being reverted to its older state, and OT After Hours getting formed, which probably has nothing to do with Giant Bomb.

I have an idea. They should merge to become GiantGameBomb.

Or, better yet, Become GiantHyperBomb. The jokes would never get old....
