Is that a mistake on their part or is GS going to start getting GB content first?
Blackhole Quicklook already on Gamespot?
I like how the first minute or so is just black screen.
Also, I never even know GB videos go up on Gamespot.

I only see some of them go up, probably just things that they don't have and don't intend to do coverage on that people are requesting on their site.
That damned Irishman...

Most quicklooks go up. Not all of them, I don't think.
I've been terrified since CBS bought GB that one day I am going to come here and it's just going to be a referrer to gamespot because some half-retarded business major that was accidentally given decision making powers at CBS decided to just combine them. So I get jumpy when I see stuff like this.
@jaks: That will be the day I cancel my subscription. I highly doubt that would happen though, the target market for Gamespot and Giantbomb are different. I also highly doubt Jeff would have signed legal paperwork that would open them up to that sort of thing.
I think Jeff has stated that putting quicklooks on GS was a decision he either supported or pushed for. It's a way to get more traffic/exposure for GB.
@jaks: That's going to happen sooner or later. It's inevitable. GameSpot will probably fire more employees and the remaining gamespot staff will merge with the GiantBomb staff. Whether GiantBomb gets absorbed into GameSpot or GameSpot gets absorbed into GB is the real question. It all depends on the amount of hits both site names return on search engines.
It's already happening now. GiantBomb is starting to get their own section on GameSpot while the reverse doesn't happen (yet). I really wonder whether Jeff has written a clausule to prevent a forced merger, one would hope so. If business goes rotten, CBSi could always force their hard and have shown to have zero regard for anything. The goddamn founder of GameSpot, Ryan MacDonald, was fired just recently.
@trafalgarlaw: It's not "inevitable" at all. It's incredibly unlikely. And Ryan MacDonald (who was laid off, not fired) wasn't one of the founders, he had just worked there for a long time.
