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!

That's a shame. This E3 has been nothing but pure magic before then. Hope they figure out the best solution and glad everyone's okay.

To the thieves:

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you return the streaming gear now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will own you.

That's incredibly horrible. However, equipment can be replaced. The important thing is that everyone's OK.

So what your trying to tell me is this. A bombed out store front half remolded to a living space in a baaaad part of town, with dog shit couches, rickety ass skateboard steps complete with ensuite rape room and dudes walking in randomly is more secure.

Than a fully fuctional shoot space that its their buisness to put up companies with expensive gear and safe guard them.

The mind boggles....realy fucking sucky was excited for the the cast.

Just glad that the stuff taken was the tech & nobody on the GB crew was hurt. Hopefully they catch the people involved & force them to play the worst games ever as well as jail and whatever the other prisoners do to them. Guessing next year they just get the big as hell hotel suite for this or whatever Gamespot does with their army of crew/tech for E3.

This sucks, i hope the police can catch the guys and recover the equipment. But how can a thing like this happen? If the only people who knew where the studio is is the GiantBomb crew and the guys who rent the space, maybe some of the guys who work there, or the security guys told some friends "hey, we're going to have some expensive stuff here, so feel free to steal some stuff while we're smoking outside". Good luck guys.

I feel really bad for the duders tho I can't help but wonder at the irony. Last years site was a rat infested flea pit with the guys in constant fear of just anyone walking in and yet this year they're victims of crime.

Jesus. Calm the fuck down guys. It's not like the gear belonged to the guys themselves and they aren't surrounded by friends with cameras.

I just thought of something. What if from now on they just keep a constant private stream of the room, even when they're away? Not broadcasted to the public, so people don't know where the camera is. Then, Jeff or whoever can check in on their stuff, see it not sitting there, and take action. Or they can just get a volunteer moderator to sit with the stuff for the whole week with a crate of Red Bull and a sawed-off shotgun.

I hate jackasses like this who think stealing is cool. I hope who ever was involved is caught. I love coming here at e3 to see this sites after shows. This truly is the best place to be. Sad to know some asshole would ruin that.

Holy Shit! I didn't expect anything like this waking up this morning! Man, that really sucks guys. I'm really glad everyone is okay with the bomb crew. I'm sure they will bounce back. These guys are professionals and I trust them. I'm a dedicated fan and you've got the support and well wishes of all of us guys. Keep fighting the good fight!

All the best to you guys, and I hope you can at least get reimbursed for the losses. That is a hell of a shitty thing to happen.

I hear equipment thieves get ass-cancer a lot, so at least there is that.
