Alex Hates Tuesdays - 05/29/2012

We capture Alex's first trip around the office as we visit his old desk, show him the spot we're hoping to bulldoze for a new studio, and maybe even buy a cola or two. Oh, and we talk about what's going up on the site this week.

Seeing the state of the office has de-motivated me from cleaning up my room. Thanks dudes!

It's amazing how fast they turn any space into a mess.

I just had a chill run down my spine from the realization that Alex Navarro most likely pissed on my signed DVD copy of 'Cobra'.

I'm with you. I was mesmerized by Vinny's screensaver of Quick Look / Endurance Run images. I also realized that is an amazing idea.

VIDEO GAMES...I dunno, ya like 'em?

So let me get this all straight. The crew are getting ready for E3, that's cool. Then when they get back, they're gonna move into a new area of the building and start renovating it to have their own production area. Right?

And is Alex back in the area for good, or just visiting?

Fight or Flight: Sticks Edition

Seeing and hearing about arcade machines really makes me want to get one, but I'm terrified of the path it'll set me on. Maybe one day when I'm a billionaire playboy physicist I'll open up a non-profit arcade for all to enjoy... after I've had my fill.

Wow, this was a genius way to warm the Giant Bomb community up to Gamespot's staff. I largely stopped reading Gamespot (first over the controversy, going to Arrow Pointing Down instead, then just never picked it back up), but after this video I'm excited to rediscover these writers.

I wanted to see footage of when the Giant Bomb crew walked back into the office for the first time in years, we didn't get that, but at least I got to see it when Alex did it. Thanks for posting this.

This isn't the kind of job that needs a junk-free workspace. They're not turning cartwheels in there for their paychecks.

What, you mean that it's a quarter or the fact that it's got a conveyer belt? You see those on college campuses and high school cafes all the time around here.

Door #2. I've never seen a vending machine like that. But then again, I live in Minnesota. We're not exactly living on the edge of tomorrow.

It's really weird seeing their offices have empty like that. Did Gamespot have a bunch of lay-offs a while ago?

That place is half ghost town. It's kind of creepy/depressing in a weird way to see random offices with people's stuff that don't work there or sections of a studio that haven't been touched in years.
