That picture makes that seem like a really demoralising place to work. 
 
The concrete walls, all of those exposed pipes it looks kinda, dare I say bad?
 
I'm sure it'll look awesome when it's properly set up and what not.

Can't really judge properly yet. It's one picture from a poor angle, and they obviously haven't got the place set up properly yet.

I can't wait to see the new finished office. I am sure they will make a video to show off their new shared office!  :)

This.  Once they get everything fully set up, we can see how the place is.

Is it just me or do others feel that some of the magic might be lost from videos like Mailbag with others around? Maybe I'm just being too possessive of my Ryan, Jeff, Vinny, Brad and Drew.

The BombShelter 2.0 looks super old, yet awesome.  Can't wait to see it when it's completely done.

I'm sure they'll do a video walkthrough of the new place.

I kinda agree.  It was always funny seeing what other Giant Bomb staff were doing during those random videos and it gave great stuff like the Brad photobomb, but I'm sure it'll also be cool to have the rest of the Whiskey Media family around in the same place for those kinds of things.

It has potential. Let's see what it looks like in a few days when it's all set up.

I wouldn't want to work in an office with no natural light - but I guess if you play games and shoot video for a living it could have it's advantages.
 
As to the exposed ducting and the bare walls.  That is pretty much how you rent office space, just corps with money have the forward team make it look nice before you move in.  Small crews and start ups have to make it nice as they go along.

It looks a lot less...homey. Hopefully they'll add some character as time goes.

My thought exactly. Kind of weird how you said what I was thinking...either way. We will have to wait till they are fully set up.

I dunno if Ryan really is B-9 person though. I mean, he'd be first to admit that, right?

This looks far more like an actual bomb shelter than the old Bomb Shelter.

Don't want to judge, but it seems to have that old office feel. Maybe bigger. Hopefully we'll see more soon.

Once they add some wooden paneling or wallpaper, some dividers for the different sites and such I bet it'll look nicer. I want to see the game space where they will record their quick looks.

Looks like one of those organised LAN parties that go for 48 hours where everyone brings their bedroom out in public and theres always a guy who's really early.

Take a look at the Phase 2 article and you get this pic, which is most likely the same room from a different angle, and you can definately tell it's considerably bigger than the old one.
