The "MASSIVE NEWS" speculation thread

They are folding all the websites into Animevice

Pancakes are happening.

Gabe N is going to be there to announce Half-Life 3 is being released on 5.12.12 and a full merger with the WM sites. Which in turn funds the WM jumbo jet where they all live John Travolta style and travel the globe doing chilli cook-offs. Yeah, I know I said the last part before. I'm just trying to keep my hopes up.

Maybe new office, possibly new site?

My actual guesses are the following

(1) They are moving offices

(2) they are adding a new website or they are making all the sites more integrated instead of all being seperate. Like here is Giantbomb.com /testedTested section instead of tested being a separate website.

The release of Sunset Riders on Game Room!

The world tour?

The long-in-production Tested Wiki will be unveiled.

Brad is leaving Giantbomb (I'm sorry I had to say it).

not only were those rumours/reports of a deadly premonition sequel true, it is actually finished and has been released exclusively to giant bomb for a non-stop endurance marathon starting today.

TASTED.COM WILL BE A REALITY

@RenMcKormack: I agree. I think closer integration of the sites is warranted and kinda already happening. Dare I say it, the obvious analogy is WWE. When you have guys from one "brand" always on the other show, they're not really branded anymore.

I can only hope this leads to a Will/Norm Invasion angle with Mr. Snider as the authority figure.

Things that it could be:

• They're moving offices
• They're becoming independent of Whiskey Media
• Tested is getting a wiki
• Giant Bomb and Tested are merging into a new combined site
• They're hiring a massive number of people
• They're going on a giant world tour
• Giant Bomb and Tested are merging with Kotaku or Joystiq
• They're creating their own TV channel
• They're going to announce a brand new site.

That'd be pretty cool news.

IGN bought Whiskey Media.

If it's a new site, like many people are speculating, what kind of site do you guys think it will be?

WHY YOU DO

Ryan and Brad are going to play through the entirety of Bully in one live stream.

They are taking Dave´s house on a tour around the globe! First stop: Antarctica.

• Giant Bomb and Tested are merging with Kotaku or Joystiq

That would be the worst news ever.

IGN bought Whiskey Media.

Giantbomb is switching to cover Facebook games only

The most exciting possibility yet!

Wait, Pancakes with everybody? It's a new cooking site, featuring all of WM! The hype was the chili day.

Fucking hell, I'll be at work. I'll have to deal when I get in

The only 'sensible' suggestion i can think of is....

Dave's much wanted and often speculated WHISKEY MEDIA MEMBERS STREET PARTY

Paaaaaaaarrrrrrrrttttteeeeeeeyyyyyyy

or maybe a more legal compromise - like a mini-PAX style Whiskey event

Will and Vinny are doing a cooking show.

First chili and now pancakes? cooking site.

They finally found the definitive answer to whether burgers are a subset of sandwiches! O____O

I'm prepared to be outraged.

Jeff Green is hosting a new PC centric podcast for WM on which he will constantly forget the date.

@rebgav: I think so. Even not from a business level (which I'm sure it makes sense at), it makes sense from our point of view. Why do we we need completely separate forums, when Tested Folks are likely GiantBomb Folks and so on? Why do we need separate video pages on separate sites, when all I want to see is the latest content? It's a great idea, if/when it happens.

The optimism in this thread is demoralising. I'm expecting good news!

I don't think its a new website, I'm thinking a crazy new feature like the happy hour.

Giant Bomb has taken over the world. FREE PANCAKES!

Jeff will start a wrestling site with Steve Austin.

this guy. nails it.

Baldurs Gate teaser site countdown ends at 2pm Pacific. Old school pc game video then whatever the announcement is?

I can feel the hype!

New food site, with durgers for everyone.

Giantbomb has been hired as lead writers for Saints Row The Third 2

• New food site?
• Tested Wiki finally?
• New ER...?

Whiskey Media is announcing that they are all quitting on May 15th.

I'll be disappointed if they are hyping up a damn food site. Food is boring.

We're all invited to Ryan's wedding.

Social event of the year? I heard they will spin it out into a reality show.

Have they given a reason why they've been at Dave's apartment this week? I think that's related to the announcement.

This is more scary than exciting.
