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!

Oh shit! That's a terrible way to end the day! Hope you guys are able to recover the items or that insurance covers it! All the best to you, duders.

I'm so bummed out for the Giant Bomb crew. Something entirely out of their control stopped them from doing cool stuff with Volition tonight, and I just wish there was something I could do to make that not suck.

Don't worry about us. We still like GB, and one missed show ain't gonna change that. Look forward to your stuff tomorrow. Best of Luck with finding it - with so much equipment, the thief can't have gone that far.

Love you guys. I know this may sound pretty dumb but I feel personally robbed of the great content and personalities from this evening. I'm sure nowhere near how bad you guys feel about it! Right after Sony smacked a bitch too!

I guess what I'm trying to say is...FUCK THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS.

Hopefully they stupidly try to sell the tricaster with the autograph on it and get nailed to the fucking wall.

Ugh, getting equipment stolen after being hyped to talk about the day's events.

Having to fill out police reports when you'd rather just sleep.

ugh.

This will just make the later episodes all the better!

Also sorry the security of the studio failed so hard

Remember that discussion on the bombcast about caper, heist, and hijacking the truck?

Sucks we didn't get their genuine gut reaction to all the news today. It won't be the same.

It was a heist that may have been part of a caper, depending on if some the thieves wore disguises or whether or not they moved in and out through an air duct.

See, this is what actual theft looks like. A huge pain in the ass to all concerned, including the thieves that now have to find the dirtiest of pawn shops, or start producing their own comedy livestream.


Props to Matthew Rorie for holding down the Giant Bomb brand today, good effort.

: (

I can't imagine how stressfull/shitty/weak this has to be for the GB crew. I really hope they can get back to their feet relatively easily / hassle free, the last thing these guys need is more stress/work during E3.

I don't even really care for live streams if its going to be too hard at this point, as long as we get the crew talking about E3 in some format at some point soonish, I'm happy.
