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!

As Glorious Leader Ryan Davis once said: NOTHING STOPS THE MONEY TRAIN.

Stay safe duders. Glad no one got hurt.

'people man, people are the worst' - I think I heard Jeff say this on his drive to E3 and as always Jeff is right.

Geez, Ryan should get some of his money back. Not cool if a professional shooting space is burgled on their first day!

Really upset for you guys about this, it sucks.

Especially when you put the time, money and effort into scoping out that place and making sure you "got it right" this time round.

While I never have chance to catch the E3 videos live myself, I know people really enjoy them and its really bad luck that the stuff is stolen in the year that E3 is at its most interesting in years. I hope they make a quick recovery.

it IS a little bit funny, how in the podcast they were talking about how this year's E3 can't possibly be worse than last year's.

Its just a matter of simple elimination. Only the Giant Bomb readers knew that the crew was at E3.

So its one of the Giant Bomb readers. I bet he is a butler.

I was sad to see no epic, five-hour podcast to accompany me on my drive this morning, and now I'm even sadder to hear why. We appreciate everything you do and here's hoping things turn around and make this E3 memorable for other reasons!

Wait, wasn't someone being paid to be on the premises and let the Giant Bomb crew in? What happened with that guy?

That's what I want to know. How can a professional venue fuck up what the dump they were in last year never even had a problem with? Regardless, I hope the bombers push hard for any compensation they're entitled to from this miserable establishment.

That sucks though, thoughts with the bomb crew. Hopefully they can use some CBSi power to get a show running.

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.

Man I am about to roam the streets of LA looking to break some knee-caps! Stealing from Giant Bomb offends me deeply.

Very deeply. There will be justice!

Also! Where was the guy who was going to let everyone in and presumably be there?! #e3MYSTERIES!

I must say you guys have had some crazy-bad luck with E3 over the years, but I'm super glad the Giantbomb crew is alright. Just recover from this loss and give us the best damn show you can! You guys can do it.

That's awful. From what I heard, the guys had put a lot of work into this years coverage and then this happens. Hope it doesn't cast a shadow on the rest of the event for them.

Well that fucking sucks but as long as the crew are safe that's all that matters. Doesn't help that they jinxed themselves on the podcast about being robbed lol.

I know in my heart that the guys that did this didnt know it was GB they stole from. No one can be that sick. You know... at first I thought it was a prank that went south. Still might be... hope not.

On top of an already stressful E3 this sucks. Hopefully things get sorted out relatively quickly for you though. I'm sure whatever you put together will still be great.

Oh god that's terrible. :( Feel really sorry for you guys. Hope you can borrow some of GameSpot's equipment if you can't get yours back.

I thought there was supposed to be a security guard looking after everything...
