Day Zero Live

I'm sure that it's all insured, but I still hope they find who's responsible.

Tons of computer equipment in a room right next to a window to a busy intersection. Doesn't bode well. It looks like someone is going to have to spend a lot of time tonight out buying equipment, but what do you even do without software? Is Gamespot effected?

They were joking about someone stealing their equipment on the last podcast. Is this for absolute real?

Yeah, saw that. It's a real bummer because GB's stuff is some of the best video content to come out of every E3. It's 2 AM here, but I'll wait a bit for any updates.

I'm bummed since they seemed so excited by the space and everything this time around.

Well this is seriously fucked up

I don't think they got robbed. jeff said equipment was removed not stolen. I think it might have to do more with them not complying or not being clear with shooting/equipment rules for the place

This is abhorrent. I hope they figure all of this out, I completely understand the delays.

No one ever thinks to rob a crack den.

This wouldn't have happened if Patrick was in charge of security. No one messes with the Scoops.

@agentmoo: Absolutely, the important thing is that nobody was hurt. Still, I imagine that they're pretty upset - I know I'd be.

GB twitter: Unfortunately it looks like some of the crew's equipment was stolen down in LA. Doubtful that there'll be a show tonight.

Hey, I got robbed today as well! Small world, right?

Seriously, what a Cleveland steamer on an otherwise really rad day.

shipping cost by the pounds for the trip back will be cheaper now. also new equipment now!

What a fucked up situation after such a great one.

In the GB chat.

Twitter says doubtful on a show. I'm throwing in the towel myself, need to get up in six hours for work.

Most important video game event of the year and this happens.

Much love to the entire Giant Bomb crew. <>

where did jeff say that? i have nothing on twitter

edit never mind just got the twitter feed! bummer!

Here's what Jeff actually said, for those who missed it.

Giantbomb twitter - "Unfortunately it looks like some of the crew's equipment was stolen down in LA. Doubtful that there'll be a show tonight."

Fuck, that would be the worst.

Seriously, if that was the case I think the relationship between the GB crew and the community would be broken.

I'm sorry this happened guys! Deal with what you have to and your fanbase will support you no matter what. Video games don't matter right now. It'll be okay.

Official twitter account for the Bombcast confirmed equipment being stolen.

Chat just cratered for me.

I fucking hate people. God damn it. This day was so fucking hype. And it has to end on a sour note. I hope Ryan straight up punches some dudes in the grill.

Man this is fucked up. Best part of E3 too. Glad they weren't hurt though.

I imagine they'll scrounge something up for the rest of the week, but it sucks we won't get their gut, immediate reactions on E3 today. It's not the same with a day break in between and time to digest.

Well this is going to fuck up content on the site for a while. They brought most of their stuff down there and it takes them forever to get new stuff from CBS.

He was just ... resting his eyes. He swears!

From the chat:

@hassun What else would you call it? They prob can't say anything due to legal issues, like when CBS got hacked.

Aw man this is a real bummer. Hope they manage to solve this issue since the e3 content they do has always been really awesome.

wow this blows. hopefully someone in the area saw something so the police can find the assholes that did this.

I really hope they get their gear back. Its really fucked up that they got robbed.

Yep, if they have to cancel tonight than so be it. If they end up all having to stream by huddling around a laptop, that'll do as well. Man, the person who did this is a real jackass. I doubt it was one of ours, but it's uncanny that the bombcast was joking about stolen equipment and this all goes down.

Wow that is some shit. A bunch of duders just doing their job and have all that shit robbed, on the first day none the less. Man, that was so much of their office stuff too from the looks of it. Where are the karma police when you need them? I feel for them, it has got to be crazy stressful enough trying to get all this shit together.

Well this sucks hope they catch the prick!

I'd check mattricks hotel room, the truth shall set you free mattrick!

It is awesome that the guys are trying to get something together, but they should get their affairs in order and figure out what happened.

Just horrible news. Today would have been perfect for some gut reactions to the conferences.

Oh, this is terrible news. I feel awful. What a horrible turn of events. Also yeah, man, fuck L.A.

I suggest Giant Bomb takes over one of Gamespot's two sets and turns that into their dedicated Livestream set... because Gamespot won't be able to use it after Giant Bomb has their way with it.

Reminds me of when Streetlight Manifesto had ALL of their equipment and merchandise stolen in trailers while on tour.

Their opening bands (Whole Wheat Bread and... I'm blanking) loaned instruments and the tour went on, but IIRC it was a massive loss for them. Materials-wise they had to go about literally "building" the band up again, and physically had zero merch to sell at their shows to even make some of the money back. Fuck thieves.

Dammit, Microsoft. I know you're mad about the PS4, but stealing people's equipment isn't going to stop them from talking about it.

It would almost be morbidly hilarious if it actually was a podcast listener who pieced together all the bits of information about the space from their various descriptions and pictures.

@demoskinos: They need to form a possy and throw down some street justice.

Should have rented some shady dude's house instead I guess. What the fuck.

I can't express how bummed I am right now... I'm not a violent person, but if the person who did this was in reach... I'd beat the living hell out of them. I'm not kidding. I've had a tough couple months at work. This was my break. Four days with the Bombsquad at E3. I was stoked.

Now...
