That's one reason I couldn't live in California. Freaking earthquakes.

Not sure if anyone else commented on this, but did anyone else look at Dave's screen? Sneak peek of the new site design...

Yeah, I caught that too! Wonder when it'll go live.

For anyone curious.

Are there actual adults in charge?

No? Awesome.

Brad falling is the best.

Remember when everyone was all

OH NO, GIANT BOMB SOLD OUT TO THE MAN

Now you tell me, whats more anti-establishment then open mockery of the sacred "safety" drill?

Pretty much how these drills go down in my office, too! :)

omg 4.30 hahahaha

Oh hi Sean McInnis! Aww I love that guy.

Shaq's famous catchphrase we all know and love:

"BEEEEEEP."

Awesome!

It's like he never left :)

LMFAO, I love how no one gives a damn about the earthquake safety drill or the instructions, damn at my job they do a stupid fire drill like its a school, they make us orderly exit the building and our leads take count of us, so stupid, if a fire actually happened ppl would run out of there like George Costanza

Man, as much as this is humorous, having lived through the Earthquakes in Christchurch NZ I can't help but think "yup get the fuck under the desk".

Love it.

Yeah, because they weren't prepared for a TSUNAMI, not an EARTHQUAKE. The preparedness for the two is nothing alike, and tsunami preparedness isn't even practiced here on the West Coast, so the entire argument is irrelevant.

Umm, I think you're missing the point of drills. You do these because when you're in a crisis situation, humans don't think. We act on instinct. Doesn't matter if it's an earthquake, fire, tsunami or bombing raid. You do drills so you are pre-programmed to act in a certain way when the crisis occurs.

Unless of course your argument is that quakes don't kill people...

Where did Dave get that Dragon lamp? I need one of those

@FirebirdINF: Touché

The engineering bay is super dark, all is as it should be.

Maybe a camera with better light balance, but that is probably hard manage for any camera without staging the lighting.

This video is amazing.

Does the snake attack drill include Samuel L. Jackson?

Do you even have to ask?

Man, I recently saw a doc from Japan about the catastrophic tsunami and they showed how the lack of preparedness (not taking drills like this serious) cost so many lives...ugh

Pretty sure when the ground actually starts shaking, you need an alarm to tell you to get under something. Taking a stupid ass drill seriously isn't going to save you -- you just have to actually do what's been hammered into your head since you were 5 years old (Get under something secure, cover head or if possible hold on to something. Stay away from windows, etc.) which isn't very hard. A drill isn't necessary at all, at least not for the basics. Now, knowing which escape routes to take afterwards or during a fire, that's important because they're not always the same routes you normally take where you work.

Couple of thousand dead Japanese disagree.

Given Jeff's camera work it's kind of impossible to tell that there wasn't actually an earthquake.

Oh these shenanigans are hilarious. Keep em coming.

Pretty sure they don't, seeing as, you know, they're dead.

@Soap: Not for another 30 years.

That window is really worrying. Makes me feel woozy just looking at it on video.

The fuck is up with that window! Sack that!

STOP. and DROP. just remind me of DMX's Ruff Ryders Anthem

For some reason this is my favorite video posted since they moved.

Also, I now want to reread some Dragon Lamp. Er, Dragonlance.

Lol! Awesome video, it was cool to see the offices as well.

What a sausage party there!

That is frightening placement for a window.

Where did Dave get that Dragon lamp? I need one of those

First off, thank you Jeff for the look around the office. It was great to see Dave's workspace, though he made it sound more like a dark cave than just in all dim lit hallway surrounded by people. It's crazy how many people work in the building.

Secondly, I agree with Brad, Dragonlance is the shit! The first three Chronicles are unforgetable

We better see some damn Homer integration on this site- that man is amazing.

YES.

I don't know who this Shaun McIness (spelling?) guy is but I already like him.

More of This!!!

So, I hear that everyone at gamespot (but, Giant Bomb) died an in earthquake this morning.

@AngelN7: Dave tends to play PC Games mostly so he's got that covered

You know what? If this is Giant Bomb at CBS, then I'm fucking satisfied.

Out

Man, Dave and Alexis are like an ocean away, that makes me sad.
