Giant Bomb Cannot Be Stopped

The first day of E3 put a bit of a dent in our livestream coverage, but we'll be back soon enough.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

Hey guys. You might have heard that Giant Bomb's L.A. studio was apparently burgled during Monday, when the crew was out and about at the day's press conferences, resulting in the loss of some equipment. I'm mostly posting this so that I don't get a million confused tweets tomorrow morning asking about where the archive of the stream is, and etc. There was no show last night, but I'm told that the guys in L.A. are looking to get something together for Tuesday night. The important thing here is that everyone's OK, of course. Theft's no fun, but it's a matter for the police right now. We will of course let you know what happens along those lines when we can.

I'm up in San Francisco posting trailers with Marino, so I don't really have much info on what's going on down there. Rest assured that we'll continue to post as many things that pop up out of E3 as we can during the day on Tuesday, and hopefully everything will be back to normal-ish by the time the Day One livestream rolls around at 8:00 PM PST today. We'll keep you updated via our Twitter account if anything else pops up, as well as update this post.

In the meantime, there's a boatload of trailers to look through! Go do that for a while!

Terrible thing to happen, but at least everyone is safe. Who knows what would have happened if a person was in the room when it all went down.

One look at Vinny and the burglars would have hauled ass.

Just wanted to add my praises that y'all are all personally okay/safe. And add my hopes that the culprits are caught swiftly and subjected to some "Giant Bomb Justice" (which I believe comprises everyone involved with the site lining up and taking turns kicking the thieves in the crotch).

Anyway, do what you can, when you can; we'll all keep listening/watching/reading!

Shitty deal guys. Try not to stress too much. All you can do is your best with what you have, don't worry about the things that you can't control. Glad everyone is safe.

take it in stride gents. whatever grassroots thing you throw together for the rest of the will still be the best coverage. Hell, I love it grassroots.

GLHB, in fact, someone call batman and get him on the case.

*keep an eye on craigslist duders. most thieves are quite stupid and will post most of that stuff straight up on the interwebs.

That's really crap to hear, sorry its happened to your studio, I was burgled at home once and its sure not good. I hope all of you at GiantBomb don't let it put too much of a damper on your week at E3 and you'll all be up & running very soon I'm sure.

That's a huge bummer, and after a decidedly incredible day at E3 to talk about. Hope you guys are back in it for tonight. I won't be able to listen live, but will definitely be checking it out after the fact.

That's horrible. Thanks for letting your fans know. It is good to hear that everyone is okay. I know it's an inconvenience but material stuff can be replaced.

I was thinking the same thing. Didn't they mention the space even had staff/a person on hand 24/7?

This is why you keep getting the shitty crackhouse instead. It makes you guys blend in!

Oh and by the way ... it was probably the guys that you rented from that ended up selling you guys out.

As if having to cover e3 wasn't punishment enough. I really wanted 'day of' reactions to the news of the day. I well imagine there would have been some might fine reacting. Oh, well, I rather have the people safe....weren't they saying there was always a dude at that venue because ist was a professional shooting space...where what THAT guy?

How ironic that the theft happens the moment they find a semi-professional space to use.

Ya, I think it's funny that this would happen after that bit from the last bombcast. This really fucking sucks though. I can't imagine how pissed off these guys are and what kind of terrible precautions they are going to have to make in the future for other E3's and what not.

Man that fucking sucks! Hope they catch and punish the assholes responsible. I'm already a proud and paid up premium member of this site, but I'll gladly chip in a little more to cover the loss of the crap that was stolen! GO BOMBERS!!!
