Hey, remember when the guys were saying that being bought by CBS was a good thing cause they would have a lot more resources?

I honestly don't mean to be a dick, but man, getting Giant Bomb completely up and running again is taking FOREVER.

Maybe there's just more red tape to go through for funding and such?

Sounds like they've been flat out denied at least some of the resources they need, or expected. The whole situation is depressingly familiar to what I went through when my company was bought out, it's a long process no matter where it leads. They are making the best of it.. will they ever get back to where they were at the peak of Whiskey Media? Who knows. Always appreciate the honesty in these videos, though.

Glad to hear some of the inside scoop. Excited for when they get everything set up as it needs to be!

I think this is the first time I've heard Karen talking while not drunk, quite an improvement.

@xrolfx: I have been wondering the same thing- you frequently hear the team complaining about not having a camera, and the quick-look TV sucking. They were all pretty fired up about getting access to new resources but it sure is taking a while. Not that I mind the I Love Monday's filmed via cell phone, they are pretty funny...

A big YES to all the wiki stuff talked about. A hub page specifically for the wiki stuff with lots of stats being surfaced sounds great. The idea Dave had for people requesting certain pages to be filled out sounded good.

If I think Karen is pretty, does that mean I find Dave pretty?

I ate at the Real Donor (or however the fuck it's spelled) about 2 months ago, it's fantastic. Eat there if you ever find yourself in Petaluma.

Kind of weird listening to this 8 years later when they talk about "what will it be in 5 years"
