Looks like an unfinished basement. Take that for what you will. 
@Sammichman: Matt and Alex have been showing up in videos down there a lot, anyway.

I guess you never saw what the old basement looked like.

" Seems way more basement that the old basement. "

This. It doesn't look as good as the Sausalito establishment, but more space is good I guess.

I thought the screened guys were always in the same building in Sausalito. They had one super small room where all three of them worked upstairs in the whiskey offices.

Where can you even park if you were coming to work - let alone dropping by to show off a game or something?

ComicVine just posted their tour, looks like there's a freakin speakeasy right in the office.

It does lose a lot of the feel the basement had, but I'm sure the crew will make it their own as time goes on.

Probably, it's a car/van/truck with a bunch of cameras on it. I also think it has google on it. Google it! (Hope SOMEONE saw Last Comic Standing last night). "
Indeed. It's pretty obvious to see google is doing street views if you see this.

It is actually a bit bigger than I expected it to be. I really do feel they should do something about the lighting--maybe just buy some Ikea standing lamps or something? 
What I don't like is the fact that the QLs are now recorded in a separate room which prevents them from shouting out to staff members who aren't recording; it takes away some of the occasional randomness. That said, I do think it's kind of a nice place.

I think this new office will be awesome, but maybe some of the Giant Bomb "character" will be lost, seems much more like a large corporation now...

It seems like each person gets less deskspace than they had in their old office. Sacrificing desk space is never a good thing.

Wider desks, seems to be enough space to do so, but yeah, big office, tiny desks.

Indeed. It also seems like the deskspace between each column is shared with four people (two on each side).

Well, their capturing equipment is set up in the same room, so I guess Drew will be there most of the time while recording.

The Shaq picture needs to be replaced by Barkley. Shaq is so Sausolito or wherever the old office was.

Shelby is the boss dude. He was the co-founder of Cnet, and left in 2005 and soon founded whiskey media.

I don't know.... It's weird, maybe because they're all split up, but it just seemed like the end of a lot of things that I really enjoy. The end of spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment videos.

I liked the intimacy of the old place. I fear it'll feel more like 'Whiskey Media' in the videos than 'Giantbomb' but I guess we'll have to see.

It's okay at the office (it is in San Francisco, after all), but we don't have it to get out.
