Do you want to keep the GB video bumper?
I know for some of you it's going to seem silly, but that graphic and chord is like a cornerstone of this site, at least for me. 4 years that thing has been around. It's pleasant to the ears. At the very least, if they do change it, they should keep the sound or just change it up a little bit so that it's still recognizable but more awesome. The graphic I guess I can part with.
Don't hate me Vinny.
I like it just fine. As long as a new one wouldn't be longer or more obnoxious though, I guess I wouldn't care if they changed it up.

Pretty much this. It would be weird to hear another tune after all these years. Besides, it lasts, what, 5 seconds? I can't see how anyone would ever have a problem with it.

"Bwah-Dun" is such a poor representation of that sound that I'm not sure you're even on the correct website.
I don't think they should change it, and I don't think they should get rid of the review images either.
I think they should replace the bumper with a really loud commercial. The same really loud commercial.
The sound is what matters to me, not the graphic. So, if they can maintain the sound but change the graphic, it's fine with me.
It's like the bootup sound Macs make or a THX test at the beginning of a film. At this point, I can hardly imagine watching a Giant Bomb video without it.
Can't help feeling a little attached to the audio, wouldn't find if the image was updated though. Either way, I trust you guys to shepherd design on the right path.

RIDE A PIG LIKE A MERC BENZ
IM UP IN DIS GRANDMAS KITCHEN LIKE A CHICK AN HER HENZ
DONT CALL ME SAD CUZ I AINT GOT A DAD
CALL ME FAB CUZ I STOLE YOUR IPAD.
At this point, it's difficult for me to even imagine what watching one of their videos without the bumper would be like, so it's very difficult for me to actually have an opinion on the matter. For me at least, the current bumper has gotten to a state where I don't even notice it's there, whereas I would probably notice any revised bumper every time, which could probably get pretty annoying, at least for a short while.
