The bottom bar just changed

I'm fine with that, sometimes i go to Gamespot to look at things.

Now that Giantbomb is with CBS, I just want Cool Baby to be an Urban Baby.

MY SLIM FOOTER!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Anyone seen Tested's new site?

I can't tell I'm excited or insulted at what its become...

I bet you do you.

It's way less offensive and obtrusive than I thought it would be. I'm cool with it.

Little of both, on one side, a company bought their domain, and can do anything they want with it, including firing everyone who made tested and keep the name. On the other, I see a few people (Will, norm, ana, wesley, that canadian guy I forgot the name of) being cheated of their creation they spent non stop on for about 2 years, and it sucks that they are being pushed aside and not the focus of their creation. But the end of the day, they keep their jobs AND they work with the mythbusters, everyone should keep their judgements to the side and just be proud of where will and norms careers are headed.

Game over man, GAME OVER!

yeah, i noticed that. pretty bad man, i feel.

It doesnt take up very much space. I am used to the three sites at the bottom taking up the whole bottom of the page.

Looks like shit, they could've at least used the same type of overlay and give us updates of the sites. Oh well.

For some reason I read that title as "The bottom jar just changed", and I started to freak out....

Same. I thought the jar had changed hands now and we'll have Kevin VanOrd sitting there telling us about Gamespot.

It's really weird to see that there, but it's not offensive or anything. I'm fine with this.

God that Gamespot logo is showing its age.  That thing is mid 90s design.  Fugly.

You know, I'm okay with the average Gamespot user not being linked here.

The end of the world as we know it, clearly.

I am just happy at the moment to not see that bit below the bottom bar anymore. That annoyed me most.

Doesn't bother me.

Oh no, a small logo at the bottom of pages. How will I cope?

@ZeroCast said:

Good to see a simple slim footer down there rather than the old one.

It's worth noting that Giant Bomb isn't available on the "Visit other CBS Interactive Sites" list at the bottom of Gamespot. Not here either.

Well you can't have Gamespot and Giant Bomb competing on the same page. I bet Comic Vine will show up there at some point, but not GB.

But the API still mentions Whiskey Media. Until it doesn't?

@Video_Game_King said:

Yeah, Gamespot really should be advertising Giant Bomb somewhere on their page. It's not like I go there to find out, but have they even made mention of it?

Figured it would happen eventually, i liked the old style where it gave you the top headlines right enough but guess that cant be helped. Weird to see a link to Giantbomb...on Giantbomb though lol

End of an era.

There is no link to Giant Bomb on the Gamespot site, in fact, the only way to know that GB is now part of their family of sites, you have to dig up a very brief news story hidden on their site...

eh, this makes me sad. I understand they aren't going away, but its still sad to think I won't be excited for my "whiskey media podcasts".

The design is simple and clean on the footer, and it is not a Meebo bar. Good job, Dave!

It's happening.

RIP bottom bar buddy.

Eh...I'll get used to it. At least ComicVine is still there! :)

Why is there a link to Gamespot, specifically? ie. why no link to GameFAQs/Metacritic etc...?

why would you want to link to gameFAQs

Truth. Metacritic is pretty terrible, too. Just look at all their user reviews.

Bye Tested, Bye Screened (and Rorie) Bye even Anime Vice which kind of liked.

The gamespot logo doesn't offend me, I have another path to GS. But the absence of the others feels like a void....

This gives me an idea...It doesn't work both ways. Bastards.

Because this board needs more quotes from... Gamespot users? Have you not seen their comment sections? Makes this one look like the Dean's list at Harvard.

On the other hand, they don't insult theGiant Bomb community every other post, so that's something.

No, the Giant Bomb "community" has done enough of that on its own as of late.

Indeed. It is at least a little embarrassing.

STABBED IN THE BACK

You're acting like that's a bad thing.

You took those words right out of my mouth.

@GunslingerPanda: It is rather jarring, but so are most changes in life.

DID SOMEONE SAY JARRING?!?!!??!?!?

*runs in with jar*

*trips*

*spills*

*falls asleep*

Why, oh why is there still no such thing as Transjarring? I still have to physically bring whatever jar I have filled with my drink of choice to any other jar I would like to have that drink in instead. It's just plain barbaric, if you ask me, which you aren't.
