Paid tours of the Whisky Media Offices

what is this, a museum?

I think the problem is the time involved. You pay $50 for a tour, maybe an hour? That's an hour where at least one person, and probably more, get nothing done. WM is already pretty busy for their staffing level, I can't imagine having a bunch of people coming in and out would help that at all.

Nope.

Uhm.... to be honest if you sent Dave or Ethan a PM and asked if it would be ok to pop in and say hello they would probably be ok with that, but they would never charge money for it. You also have to remember that it's an office, not a convention centre. Just because they have a bar doesn't mean they are drinking all the time. 
  

Ok, so maybe they are drinking all the time. 
 
 
 
Anyway, if you really wanted to hang out with snide you could do so right now for free: 

I absolutely love Giant Bomb, but nope.

It's an office. You can't figure out better ways to spend your money?

The second the world tour hits the UK I'm going to be all over that venue.

I would imagine the tour would be quite boring. It's an office, people at their computers and playing video games. When they do cool stuff it's on video, that's good enough for me. 

" @litrock: what if it was just  once a month get a group of 20-50 people thats an extra 1500.00 to 2500.00 a month! surley thats worth an hour or two. "

I'd gladly take your money if you're interested. Now I can't take you directly there, but I can drop you off within 1500 miles of the office. It should be close enough for you to walk the rest of the way.

nawwww. 

I never thought I'd become one of those guys, but I find myself thinking more and more that some of you love GB too much.  You've seen the office in videos, it's mostly just a big room with a couple of rows of computers and people working.  Fuck.  

What are dollers? 
 
Also, that's a stupid idea. If you want to see what it looks like in the office, watch a video.

Yeah, major disruption on their main work if they did anything stupid like this. 
 
Unless it's like the Gorilla Glass panel thing and make it a 1-side mirror. 
 
Let's treat them like Zoo animals.

" and people working.  "

People on this sight are deviant in the worst way possible.

You're just starting to think this?! I've been saying this for a while. "

I think we all pretty much know what the offices look like at this point. What else is there to see?

I don't understand the desire to go to their offices, it's a workplace. I mean part of the reason I'm at this site is because the guys personalities are great, I imagine spending time at some other event with them would be fun, but while their at work?

What about that one room? The one where those murders took place? "

They already did a tour.  Right here.
 
There's not much to see.  A couple rooms, a bar, and a bunch of desks.  Like any old office.

 
I can see it now: "Sorry, no paid tours. But here, for a small donation you can stand next to this Makerbot and make wacky faces for a few minutes while we do the mystery build timelapse."

As much as I love Whiskey Media, I wouldn't pay for that. Mainly because it seems bothersome -- it's an office and they do work there, as someone else pointed out it isn't a zoo.

You want to meet the GB dudes? Get people to sign up so they can kick off the World Tour.

The problem is that the offices are a place of business and, as much fun as it'd be to see the tour, it's probably not in their best interest to tie up the work day like that.

You're going to Southern California? Assuming that means the LA area, the Whiskey Media offices are about 800 miles out of your way.

This doesn't sound like a good idea.

National "Bring Your Fans To Work" Day

Yeah, no; it is a place of work afterall, however, if you turned up with crazy food and booze i'm sure the crew would entertain you for a while.

Some of you people take your fanboysm too far.

Are you the same guy who wanted to pay Jeff to come to your house?

And start a Giant Bomb fan club?

It's a place of business, not an attraction. Just wait for the next block party or something.

I could see charging a small fee to view them filming the Happy Hour or TNT (would be nice for local multiplayer games)
 
But other than that nope. And they don't really have a studio audience space to work with.

" what is this, a museum? "

;_; why are you people so creepy?

I think this is a little too exhibitionist for them.
