Giant Bomb Cannot Be Stopped

Damn it Fisher!! I mean Dammit Fisher!!! Da...

Oh great shockwave just crashed..

I hate to be the guy who's like "this is why we don't get nice things..."

Good people go out of their way to do something awesome for people, and bad people fuck it all up for everyone. Woo.

I WANT A BLOCK AT FIGUEROA AND FIFTH AND I WANT A BLOCK NORTH ON FLOWER AND SIXTH

Now I'm picturing skinny, East L.A. junkies dressed like the crew, cheap wigs and all.

Thanks.

@rorie

This whole thing has Waingro written all over it. We all know what has to be done...

In all seriousness, this sucks the fattest of asses. E3 is stressful enough without the worry of being burglarized. I grew up in a neighborhood where having your stuff stolen was considered part of the norm, so I know the feeling of violation. All you want to do at this point is beat the ever-loving shit out of the assholes that took what was rightfully yours.

Also, let me just reiterate what many have already said: I'm glad you guys are all okay. You are all like a second family to this community. An attack on the GB crew, is an attack on all of us (in a weird, mainly sentimental, yet fundamentally sincere way). You guys shouldn't have to endure this kind of bullshit. If ever there was a cause for setting up a kickstarter for GB, this would be it. You should all have a place that is yours during E3; a place that will always be available year after year. A place within walking distance of the convention center. A place where you could all comfortably sleep. A second home that's also built like fucking Fort Knox... but classy.

Anyway, don't stress out about producing video content at this point, we all know you're good for it. Just enjoy the rest of the show; try to have some fun, eh.

What?!! I'm sorry this is out of line but F that facility man.

I hope you are all alright. I and pretty much everyone else here will be alright. We'll manage. You guys take care of yourselves.

This is weird and unrelated as stuff like this happens. At the recent Fanime, I lost my badge(my own fault)[Edit: On Day 1], my friend's purse got stolen, and a cosplayer got her bag stolen at the Persona gathering. Weird.

and as the "gods of worst case" looked upon each other disapprovingly of the last podcast, the mortals trembled in their puny realm being struck with bad fortune all day.

That really sucks. Hopefully they catch the perps or insurance will cover it.

Times like these, you wish the studio had someone living in there as well...

Bounce back Duders!

I hope this hasn't upset you dudes too much.... crazy shit

@commandergermanshepard: im not sure i follow...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I know you guys thrive under adversity. But, damn, I wish you could catch a break one year.

I think the skeleton bar tender really pin pointed their location...

Glad to hear no one got hurt.

That sucks balls, dudes. :( I hope those dirty asshole thieves get caught.

I'm just glad the crew is ok, bad stuff goes down in LA when some of these people want your stuff bad enough and you're in the way. Jeff did a wrap up last night from his hotel room anyway: http://www.twitch.tv/giantbomb/b/415461284 . Best of luck guys.

Holy shit, this is terrible! Hopefully the baddies are caught, and then treated like the Starks

fucking losers stole the camera equipment. i was wondering why there was no show last night. i look forward to the E3 house party chats as much as i look forward to GOTY podcasts.

interesting how the professional studio space gets burgled but the the house the bomb crew stayed in a few years ago in the sketchy part of town was fine

Seriously - it's not like they didn't explicitly talk about this very scenario and how to get away with it.

Damn, sorry to hear that. People are assholes. I'm sure it wasn't random. Probably some Giant Bomb haters or the government trying to silence the voice of truth! You can't keep Giant Bomb down! The boys down in LA can like Facetime with Marino in SF and like record the screen. We would watch. CBS has got to have something they can set up for you guys in a pinch, otherwise I See BS ::cough::

In all seriousness though, that's a really shitty thing to happen during what's supposed to be the most exciting week of the year for the community.

Thieving Bastards!

The day has come

AWAKEN DARRELL GATES.

Just listened to the last podcast yesterday, all the talk about heists and capers, and then all the talk about how hyped they were to use this great new space made me chuckle in the worst way when I read this.

I was really looking forward to the livestream, so whoever did this: FUCK THOSE GUYS.

Inside job, someone watched them deliver it!

I blame Tom Nook or Funky Student myself.

Send renegade Shep after them!

Hope you manage to get something up. Love the site and it is the first place I go for coverage and especially oppinions.

There's got to be at least 6 months childhood karate experience between them. When do they go after them Jet Li style?

Nothing stops the bomb ! good luck duders. So sorry to hear.

Out of all media outlets, i can't believe this had to happen to you all. I wish I could somehow make it better :(

The thief had to of been either the owner, or someone who works in or around that place. Who else would know about it, it has to be.

Man that sucks, fuckin' LA man.

Can't stop the signal.

Oh shit, what an unfortunate mess. And all that after the weirdly prophetic Bombcast talk. Best of luck with getting your E3 coverage back on track gents!

Thank god nothing happened to Pete. He is one great late night janitor.

Have the duders sent Tom Nook out to recover this stuff? He is relentless.

That really, really sucks. :( My dad had a break-in about a year ago and it just leaves you with a really rotten feeling in your gut.

I hope they'll be able to do some streams this week, but I'll be sticking around Giant Bomb for E3 coverage regardless.

FUCKERS. Sorry, duders.

I think the thing that pisses me off the most about this is totally not that we didn't get a liveshow. the thing that sucks most to me is that i cant help but shake the feeling that this happened because some group of particularly non-cool people heard about your video location on the podcast or something and "datamined" their way into where your stuff would be. knowing your hectic schedule during the day and when you would be gone, they would be able to snatch your stuff easily. maybe this is irrational, or a little conspiracy-theorist of me, but i just can't shake the feeling.

i hate that someone would take advantage of how open and transparent the giant bomb crew is about their process and all the behind-the-scenes stuff it takes to run this site. I hate that they would use this information to steal from you. to steal from your community. i especially hate that, if it comes to light that i am right, it might necessitate you lose some of that transparency to protect your safety and your stuff. that would be a huge loss, from this duder's perspective.

hope you catch em.

i keep wondering what they have to name themselves/refer to their party as when they go on flights and such. never sure if they actually discussed it or anything.

To be fair, they do admit to trying to find the slimiest place in LA to record there Live shows. Looks like that bit them in the ass. Such a bummer.

Man some people are just scum...Glad to hear everyone is alright though, hope they get caught and you guys get your stuff back!

My thoughts are with you guys, hopefully you can get back on track and the cunt(s) who stole your equipment have what's coming to them.

@UncleBenny Sorry dude I was on my mobile and accidently pressed the flag button. Hopefully you won't have your message deleted.

That sucks hopefully you get it all sorted out.

I wonder if Jason Statham or Vin Diesel are responsible for this.

Dominos pizza does sound pretty good though.

Somebody call LL Cool J, they stole from the wrong crew, CBSi will find them! It really sucks to hear that though, but I'm happy you guys are safe.

FWIW, this sucks and I wish I could do something to be helpful. I am glad everyone is safe, that's the important thing.
