Whiskey Media has three sites. Comic  Vine, Anime Vice and Giant Bomb. So yes.

I think so. Sometimes in the Bombcast they tend to promote ComicVine and AnimeVice.

Yeah, Animevice and Comic Vine are sister sites. Dave, Andy, Sean and all the other engineers work on those two sites as well as Giantbomb.

I'm still waiting for their sandwich review website, as well as their movie review website.  Maybe that's only because I would die to work at that movie review website.

You are only the 5th person to say that, I think they got the point. "
But I was the only person to link to whiskey media, comic vine, anime vice and giant bomb, for the OP's convenience,

I heard that Whiskey Media was really owned by Bernie Madoff. The company is technically insolvent, but no one gives a rats ass so they just let it continue. It's actually a pyramid scheme whereby each new site must lure in customers to make more new sites.

So, is Comic Vine as vibrant and bustling as Giant Bomb or is it a tumbleweed-ville like Anime Vine?...nothing against Anime Vine, mind you, they have good news coverage.  It's just the forums are usually ghost towns.

And why is this sight "Giant Bomb" and not "Game Vine" or something like that?

Comic Vine is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.

1. CV is very active, on GB's level.
2. When going through potential site names Jeff made a point that too many sites have game in them so he chose to stay away from conventional gaming site names.

But it doesn't end with "vine" like the sister sites.

It's Anime Vice. So i'm guessing they can call their site whatever they want.

GiantBomb is more like the big brother site of AnimeVice and ComicVine.  Am I right?  =P
