It’s time for the third installment of How To Build A Bomb. This week, we briefly discuss a few things we’re working on for the full site and manage to set off our damn security system along the way.

nice!
Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!
Molto benne. Cheers for the update!
Looks great! Keep up the series!
“We are sad to inform you that the Giant Bomb website has been cancelled after the death of Jeff Gerstmann after being poisoned.” haha anyways, yeah sweet, can’t wait!
This video makes me glad that you fellows do not, in fact, have a real giant bomb. Some people possess the ability to make excellent websites about videogames that inform and entertain the public. Some people can handle ordinance safely. Few can do both. Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis are not among the few.
Well… At least now everyone knows that you’ve got an alarm!
Can’t wait to see what the site finally looks like when you guys are done. Great job!
Ha ha ha, good stuff. I think that a “perfect 5″ should be the two thumbs up, IMO. I thought that would look the best even before Jeff said it was a possibility.
Great video series.
Giant Bomb is going to be a winner.
Cool. I was waiting for the next episode.
haha, love the part when Jeff goes “hold up to lips?” - wtf that can’t be right!
keep it up boys, btw can anyone guess who the guy behind the camera was?
This site is going to be awesome. I wouldn’t mind doing a little writing for them. I don’t have any qualifications other than being a die-hard gamer and a good writer, though that just goes to show my humility. Haha.
I hope when the site launches that we still get to see the nonsense that go’s on. Its so fantastic !
oh by the way, those people walking by when Jeff went into the office a second time probably thought that you were breaking into the place or something.. Ha ha.
were the drinks left in the household?
lol who the new guy?
I think you guys should invest in some Team Fortress 2-Pyro-styled-gas-masks.
Anyway, another sweet video!
Shouldn’t you guys NOT let it air out while its going off for the two hour period? And who is the new dude?
Go Jeff,
I am totally rooting for you guys.
kill dem damn fleas !
BRITNEY WAAAAAOUUUUUUUTCHHHHHH!!
bahahaha, epic!
I can’t wait to ear more about the website! You guys are the most promising team on the games review community!
Heh, it was like a live grenade
Haha… way to go fellas.
That video was staged like 9/11
was that tim surette?
Was that Brad Shoemaker behind the camera?
Lol, you guys made a bug bomb way more dramatic then they actually are. I had to set off about 6 at once at a house my friends dad was owning. I guess that’s what it’s like to be rich, even bug bombs are an adventure!
Great episode– Jeff’s illustration of setting off the flea bomb was freakin’ hilarious! Looking forward to episode 4…
That was awesome. Can’t wait until the full site is up.
That was epic.
flea bomb lol
haha awesome , cant wait to see what the real site layout looks like
is that it? i mean can they be 30 minutes long at least??
Run from the fleas! They are the epitome of evil… besides spiders…
Looking forward to all the changes.
Excellent video. I’m loving these videos, i can’t wait for the next
Keep it the tremendous work giant bombers!:P
Great episode..i have my doubts on wether that flea bomb is going to work..My opinion: excuse to not working :). That means there isn’t going to have updates tomorrow/today/wtf?? This video was shoted yesterday so tecnically they didn’t went to work today..That’s confusing, but hey, that doesn’t matter…keep up the bombastic work. Looking forward to episode 4…
Ok, now who the hell was that other guy?!
BTW, that was amazing.
That was pretty funny! what the heck did you guys forget?
Love the series. Keep up the good work, and good luck with the fleas!
They forgot the fogger for the upstairs, I think.
what did you forget?
and who is the new guy?
Smooth guys, real smooth xD
I love the direction this site is going, roll on Summer time!
Sweet, a tick free environment, which makes me think, does anyone remember this…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUW0lj5CfuQ
lol, this is too much. how hte hell you guys get fleas in an office. looking foward to seeing more.
haha oh man, the comments that popped up while I was watching made this 3x more hilarious.
FORUMS, FORUMS, FORUMS!
This “animator” is Ben Coello, right?
But dude, you’re gonna get lung cancer. Or turn into a giant bug or something.
lol ounce again funny shit keep up the good work
Hey really funny episode, but I’ve been wondering who the damn camera man is and you haven’t even introduced us, well I NEVER!… oh and the comments on the timeline for the video at first were annoying but then I kinda liked them.
This was a pretty interesting episode. Glad you’re keeping us updated on how to build — or rather, how to attempt to build — a site.
Can’t wait for those damn forums
lol at the video comments
Friggin AWSOME!!! This site looks better and better which every podcast and vid you put out!!!
Who is that other dude, like did you scout the globe to look for a new talent and someone as insane as ya’ll¿? Wait what is more insane is that you found someone!!!
Im probably going to keep whining on the short lenght of the videos forever, but thats only because theyre so awesome! Judging by the looks of your faces it seemed like that can said “Do not inhale or lungs will explode”. Hilarious. It was like Cloverfield: Office edition. “Just RUN, RUN RUN RUN RUN”
Yeay! Kill those bugs!
Awesome, love the way you didn’t handle the bomb? I dunno, It was hilarious though.
Thanks Guys!
I love the fact there will be a Chuffed animation. go go british culture
The games people play. I like to play. I’m lost in it my lord.
Nice!
That was entertaining! Keep up the good work, guys.
I wonder whats upstairs? is that the “headquarters”??
Awesome! And lol @ the video comments.
Jeff should get danger pay for this episode lol.
It pretty much looked like a covert ops mission. I liked how they couldn’t disarm it.
Good work!
Ahh, could someone please shut up gridloq? Seriously, one post per video needs to be the maximum for that darned thing.
I know it’s already been asked, but who’s the new guy?
Cool, but the two viddlers that commented like 40 times drove me crazy.
im loving this site so far, i just wish there was more of it. cant wait until the full site.
Ohhh man that was SO classic!
Hillarious. BUt what did you forget? Seeing Ryan run was the best part.
You should ditch that thing where you can comment different parts of the video, or make a limit.. Gridloq is freaking annoying. Great video, good to see things coming along nicely.
That was epic, I never new setting up a video game site was that exciting. I was half expecting Jeff and Ryan to have to battle ninjas at some point in that video. Lucky Jeff didnt have to brake out the kung fu, because once you unleash the beast . . .
Wow, that was hilarious. This is now my new homepage, over my iGoogle, and that’s saying a lot. Can’t wait to watch every damn video you guys put up. Jeff, where’s the points reports?! Bring it back! I’d love to work with you guys.
Ben Coello?
Jeff seemed jittery for the first little bit but the last bit was freakin hilarious.
lol sweet video.
wtf was so importatant that you had to go back in ? sweet office btw
Dude great episode, And is Brad and alex going to work with you guys??
Caesius: But you can have Giant Bomb as a part of iGoogle, not the other way around.
Nice choice going with the Final Cut Pro, Jeff. I’ve been running the Studio suite for some years now and have pledged my allegiance to the Mac, G.
fo’ Life!
No More Flee’s FTW awesome video guys
awesome.
My guess is the guy behind the camera was Brad Shoemaker due to the deep voice when he spoke.
So THATs the guy behind the cameras!
Cool video guys, keep em coming. Cant wait for the animated thing
Guys, you gotta make it so people can’t leave pop-up messages inside the video. It is SOOO obnoxious!
If this is pretty exciting already,imagine the full site release!
Holy crap, I had no idea this place was in the process of beginning to exist until today. I am happy beyond words to see you guys doing your own site now.
shoemaker should join the krew.
What the hell is with the stupid comments at the bottom of the video.
Hahaha. Best episode yet.
LOL!!!!!
That was a cool episode, keep it coming.
What other game site offers sneak peaks into flea bombing office antics? None.
Return of the Time Trotters? One can only hope.
Hahaha! Some trouble with that alarm I see. Sounds good with the ideas coming up about everything that’s going to be included.
Wow
that was a great video…im loving the site so far! cant wait for it to be complete!!!
i love you guys, keep the good work, i hope you finnish the page and everything be good
Im also waiting for a register option to officially became one of the family!
inhaling toxic fumes never hurt anybody right? oh and when are we gonna see the upstairs I heard about.
Hehe, I enjoyed that. Good luck with the flea infestation guys. Next time flash bang those fleas to flush em out.
Thats pretty cool how you can comment in the videos.
Very nice. Keep these videos coming, two thumbs up!
Great video guys. Much laughter was had. I think I may have even guffawed! Also, does your alarm have the “Exit” button? The place I work has a system that you can type the code in or just hit exit to alarm it. I have found the one button tactic much easier.
Hehe, that was awesome! Make it even longer next time. I could watch this all day long.
Blow the bomb!!!
HarhArhaR you guys are cool.
For such a large space you might want use 2 bombs. Form my cat having fleas experiences 2 is the way to go.
Perhaps you should get the office some advantage. A little dab behind the neck and BAM fleas gone.
i think you need the REAL flea from RHCP to play bass while your bombing for your bomb website…erm…oh yea good luck jeff and ryan
It’s fun to see you guys build this business. I think it’s a wise move to get rid of the fleas.
Cant wait in till you start hosting you own videos so I don’t see a bunch of comments pop up during the clip.
LOL. this makes my day, seriously. Good luck with the fleas!
It’s totally the couch’s fault. You just know.
I’d like to meet more of the people involved with giantbomb in the next eps. Like, are the politicalbase.com folks involved, or is that just a wacky rumor?
WHAAAAA!? There’s an “upstairs?” I thought it was just the two of you building the website, but then, outta nowhere, that dude popped on screen. Who is he?
Oh yeah, fucking awesome video. I seriously can’t wait for the next one!
Great Vid. I wasn’t too sure you would come out alive… Lucky the alarm didn’t set off the Bomb… I can’t wait too see what you guys have cooking for the site. This will be my new GameSpot. Please keep up the LEGIT video game review.
I love this site already. You guys were Gamespot to me. I’ll follow you too the ends of the earth….
Loving the Mr. Show references you guys have had on the site
Well, first time checking out the site…. plan on keeping up with this site, I respect the fun-ness and professionality that is provided…. lol
I can’t seem to remember where I saw that guy from before! But anyways cant wait to see the finished bomb in all its glory!
Great episode guys!!! Keep up the good work!
cant wait guys, keep it up
Dude the colors….the colors are so vivid, it is like they are alive!
There are few things better and more badass than a StarWipe.
i cant wait to see what the artist comes up with!! good luck with the site layout.
Guys, first off, the guy behind the camera was the same guy who went back in with Jeff the second time. Second, Brad Shoemaker said he’s not part of Giant Bomb and that he is just freelancing right now. Actually, Brad is possibly moving to Hawaii for a year.
How is watching you guys set off a bug bomb in your office entertaining? At some point your ineptitude stops being funny, but right now its awesome.
OMG Best Vid ever! I nearly wet myself, and the comments feature for the actual video is GREAT!
Keep it coming guys, you are doing a great job!
Great video, I’m excited to see how your rating system turns out. But uh, did I hear you right? “Garbage pail kid” for a 5 star rating?
What?
Great Vid and really funny
Can’t wait to see the final site…
that was great …this is so facinating love the stuff keep it up!!
Hahaha, well, hope you covered up your drink casing.
it seems to amaze me how something so simple everyday things can be so entertaining to see jeff,ryan,camera dude great job you 3 dudes are very entertaining to watch,in my opinion you were born to entertain keep up the great work cant wait to see what other ideas you will implement into this bomb of a site respect as always,check out my blog if you have time and want to be informed a little bit more about upcoming games i update daily and put some thought into the content of the site its not as good as giantbomb but hopefully one day i can say im on the same level as this great site the blog is gamerforlife-gamerforlife.blogspot.com feedback is appreciated let me know what you like and dislike,great video as always very entertaining i got your back dudes ryan,jeff,camera dude any way i can help let me know peace
simply hilarious!!!
Damn, you had to take one for the dudes and go head first into the flea smoke. Nice one Jeff! and the new dude. And Ryan to!
Also have you got your lcd attached to the wall jeff? probably not but it looks like it.
Security systems can be a damn pain, I hope you are all ok. I sounds like everything is coming together for a epic website of gaming goodness, keep it real.
I really want to see what kind the finished site is!
Great episode! 
Bring us more! 
lol so dramatic! i love the studio you have, but isn’t it a bit risky to have door with glass, sure you have an alarm but if the have some leet tactix they just rush in there, steal everything and then they jump through that broken glass
ye and also like Tom said, LOVE the the episodes, you guys keep filming! don’t ever stop!
A suggestion… animation where you lift your arms as in “Whatever!” should be like Animated Gif… cause most of the images you describe sound more like static images (some would be better on animated).
Then again no one is paying me to do this job, so my opinion fall on deaf ears.
The feeling of game animation is brilliant though. In a time where emoticons and 3 letter wrods/sentences prevail… this is but the most logical step to be applied to a game review site. If its so logical, how come nobody else taught of it already? Hmmm :S
Hilarious. And interesting. >.<
That was hella sweet.
Who’s the dude with the camera/went in with Jeff?
And those little comments people place are annoying.
Really entertaining.
So, now you have a day without an office.
I suppose you guys can be found in the local gutter, wasted?
weres the psp section
That was fantastic!
nice
Dude…your desk is mess.
please tell me you saved the drinks….
great ,, but was it necessary? guess it wont help _o-
Such action, emotion and drama
You guys are doing a great job so far. Keep it up!
I love the video player. Video comments are pretty funny, too. Keep’em coming. I love watching you guys put this thing together.
Crazy Sh*t dudes. At least the flees have left Ryan’s ankles. I dont have flees in my house but after watching that I wish I did. Also I think Jeff should change his name to “Jeff Bauer” and every time he says something serious a deep rumbling score should be playing in the background.
Nice one, keep em’ cooming
Hey guys, I love the How To Build a Bomb video segment. Great episode as always, keep up the good work.
This is hilarious. Aren’t you supposed to warn direct lot neighbors when fumigating?
I hope you guys are really thorough about cleaning up after that bomb. There’s a bunch of things you should do to make sure that poison doesn’t stick around. I hope you cleaned up your desk, Jeff…
Look on the web for tips, if it’s not too late.
Heh, I wonder if they even read these comments.
What LCD Monitors did you guys purchase? Particularly interested in the one with the white frame. Looked like a HP to me.
on second thought maybe its not such a good idea for people to be able to put comments in the video. Leave the stupid remarks to the comment section plz
cyprusx: They add the tabs as they add coverage. They haven’t written about any psp games yet, so no tab. They talked about this in the podcast.
Hey dudes, tell me Brad Shoemaker is coming to work with you. Please say he is.
That was so funny, i cant wait to see more episodes.
The tags were very awesome too. Great feature.
if you want you can go to the menu and shut the video comments off if they’re bugging you. MENU, then the dialogue bubble in the upper left hand corner.
Funny video, but damn people’s comment tags interrupting the videos were annoying. Took me a while to figure out how to turn those off.
Burn the couch.
(but make sure to record it for Ep4)
I get more enjoyment here than I do spending hours on gamespot. I wish Jeff and all his staff the best of luck. Forget luck, THEY don’t need it. Their videos are pure Entertainment. Please keep up the videos along with your LEGIT Reviews. Simply outstanding start on the new site.
Ps: Gamespot reviews are now all sugar coated. Notice how they all talk positive about every single game they review or speak talk about while doing “OnTheSpot”
Cnet: You suck. Your reviews even on your own site
