@BrainSpecialist: I suppose if Caesar and Alexander the Great have wikipedia pages, I should have known Jeff Gerstmann would have one too. Still, it's just sort of a surprise.

@Suicidal_SNiper: Jeff Gerstmann has a wikipedia page? What do I have to do to get one of those? 
 
I mean, what the heck.

Being a newfound fan of Giantbomb and had only been mildly following them (mostly some podcasts and most of the quick looks) through 2009, I found myself really engrossed on the bombcast, which I would download and listen to while playing various games. However, nothing good lasts forever, and as such, eventually I ran straight into the top of the bombcast list. Unable to keep track of the episodes I listened to, but still unable to stop listening to said episodes, I fell into a deep depression and stumbled across Gamespot. 
 
By a mixture of curious and wildly bored, I decided to open up an old random episode. I was pleasantly shocked to hear the voice of most of the giantbombers on the Hotspot. Just then, I remembered some apparitions of Jeff Gerstmann on some Gamespot video reviews (bear with me here, text is boring and I only looked at the pretty screenshots and the score on the reviews, never the name of the editor). 
 
So here is my question: what is the history between these two companies, and why did most giantbombers migrate from one office to another? My sincerest apologies if this is some sort of taboo question no one ever touches, or if there's a source of information for this elsewhere. I seek only to learn. 
 
(And I didn't really know where to make this either so I guess I apologize for the topic too.)  
(Also if this has already been made, I apologize.)

This wouldn't be as hard as eveyone is thinking. If you already have all the episodes in your harddrive, use a program to batch convert everything to AVI or similar format. Get some clean DVD's, make some menus for selection using a program, and then all you need is to burn the right things in the right places. A more detailed making-of video is probably a good idea, and there's no need to re-commentate the whole thing, the commentary's not bad, even though it gets a little dead at some points. In the end, the whole process of fabricating this idea consists more of waiting than anything. 
 
Also, overall, this isn't such a bad idea. My browser itself struggles to buffer any kind of video, so I resorted to downloading them. However, having ALL of them ready on high quality anytime I want them sounds very convenient. Also, i'd be a good way to rack some cash, and draw popularity to both GiantBomb AND Atlus's games. 
 
The only problem is getting Atlus's approval. Nothing a nice written e-mail can't fix, though. It should contain the pro's of this deal, and with the simple suggestion of giving them a share of all sales, plus both company's logoes on the DVD cases, and the knowlege that this is NOT an Atlus originally made parody, heck I don't see why they would decline. 
 
That being said, this needs some extra stuff to be made something worth buying, but as long as the price tag's manangeable, I don't see why anyone who browses the site or liked the game wouldn't miss the chance to buy it.
