Giant Bomb: Origins (Video)

I have been working on this for awhile.  It is a trailer for a fake movie called Giant Bomb: Origins.  I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it, and it was cool looking at all of the old How to Build a Bomb videos. Just to clear things up this is NOT a real movie.

Pretty cool, good job.

Front page community stuff there :D 

That was pretty neat. I especially liked the beginning.

So its like The Social Network, only with more face and neck stabbing

Very awesome. Definitely should be on the front page.

Awesome stuff, makes me nostalgic for the old office.

You spelled his name wrong. It's Jeff Gerstmann.

Are you actually making the movie as well? Because I'd totally watch it.

Yeah I would too.

It's a bit unclear whether he meant "I been working on this movie for a while, here is a trailer." or "I been working on this trailer for a while."

Trailer was great and I would love to see a movie from this :)

this is INCREDIBLE.

I think i've seen something like this before.... anyway cool stuff dude!

*wipes tear from eye* So.. beautiful..

Introducing
Jeffrey "Jeff" Gerstmann

Thumbs up!

Awesome video. Well done mate.

This is awesome!

Even thought you spelt Jeffs last name wrong that was amazing haha, made me laugh :D

The Hotspot 12/04/2007 GameSpot speaks...

Awesome, it just makes me wish I was there when Giant Bomb first started...

It was a great time.

I might be drunk right now but that was awesome. I would totally watch that movie. A documentary with interviews with all involved cut together with footage shot over the years of giant bomb.

Haven't watched it yet, but I loved those How to Build a Bomb shenanigans. Especially when they set off a Flea Bomb in the basement then left, forgot something, and had to very quickly run back in and get it before they died of insecticide poisoning.

I want to make it clear, I hate myself for doing this.
 
Doin' something mean to it.

HELLZ YEAH!!!

that was tops mate, well done

Aww, now I want it even more...

Well, atleast I got here before they changed offices, so I got to experience the magic of the Bomb Shelter (They didn't call it that)

I know. I... I just... I know. I shouldn't have done it. I feel terrible, but if I didn't, someone else would. I'm saving all of us, somehow.

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night, but we all know such a blatant abuse of Power is unjustifiable. Turn yourself in to the International Court of Justice right now.

Great stuff, congrats! ^^

Nice Job I really miss the old office I'm sure they don't though lol.

@grant742: epic! where does the audio from the beginning come from?

Great vid

Pretty cool stuff. I can't wait for the full movie!

Great job dude!

great job, looking forward to the finished product, but one question where is the beginning voice audio from, talking about Jeff being fired.

I liked it, especially the beginning.

Good job!

Also, despite my earlier defiling, this video is really ace, and I would also be totally interested in seeing an actual documentary of sorts on the founding of Giant Bomb, because I'm sure there are quite a few interesting stories going from Jeff's release from GS to the behind the scenes evolution of the site from 2008 to now. Not like a full length thing obviously, but even like a little well edited video.
 
I mean, that'll probably never happen, but it's still a really cool idea.

MAKE THIS MOVIE.

That video makes me miss the basement. :(

That was great. I really need to go back to those How to build a bomb videos, it was such a great time. Arrow pointing down podcast. Coming home after a long day and eating dinner whilst watching the ER.... *nostalgia trip*

It really was super cool to see them being so open about things.

You know, I think a documentary about this site (the lead up to and creation of it) would be really cool. It'd obviously be shorter than a regular movie or documentary, but it's an interesting story.

Same here. I loved that old office feel of Sunny Sausalito... it felt way smaller and just like these guys were just free-wheeling it everyday. It still feels that way, but with the site getting bigger and additions of other Whiskey media sites to the family... it feels a bit more corporate... especailly after they held the bombcast ransom. I was totally on board for a subscription, but them holding the bombcast at ransom almost made me completely stop visiting Giantbomb altogether.
