This place is RIDICULOUSLY large. I love basements, I'm a little jealous plus this building has the coolest brickwork.

Wonder how long the seating arrangements will last. But new offices look great.  
 
Bitters work great with the one rye whiskey drink, manhattan. Know I've seen it on Good Eats episodes somewhere but way too many to watch & enjoy. Manhattan is quite easy & rather tasty.

Yeah, at first I was like, "hope you guys made sure this is ok with the rest of the whiskey folks." But I'm so jealous of Brad, sitting like, right next to babs :) Love the toilet segment, but didn't Dave used to have a bulge in his upper lip? Did he stop with snuff or something? "
Hey, man, I saw Babs first!

I second the notion that they should put all the usteam videos on here.  At least thursday night throwdown. I have yet to see a single episode of this feature because I always miss it when it is live, and watching the recording on ustream sucks.  Please start adding the TNT vids right here on your own video player!

    Dude that office has an S-ton of space allocated to their watering hole. Hell many of the bars I frequent probably have half the space. Like Jeff was saying, it will be cool for events. The GB crew could probably fit an entire AAA game's development team down there.

Personally, Totally stoked about the new space. Plenty of space to get away from the other sites for videos. and while working they have plenty of personnel present for spit balling ideas. works out good for us on bother the site front and the social media front.

Just watched the first three minutes.  Was watching the later half on the live stream.  I've said it before but I'll say it again; this is the greatest site on the internet.

Well glad to see Jeff and Ryan keep the craziness of Giant Bomb live and well even around the other staffers, I was worried they would have to be subdued around them.

This place looks so awesome for reals.
 
My only concern is, and I'm not trying to bash the other sites and employees, but I don't know how comfortable it's going to be for Jeff and Ryan to run around the editor hallway going crazy and laughing hysterically and making dumbass, loud videos, with other, perhaps less bombastic editors in the same general area.

I still don't get what the music room is for.  I mean, I get that it's an "entertainment room" because that's where the TV and consoles are, but...what's with the bass and guitar?  And amp?

Hmm, it's less of a small Giant Bomb family now and more of a corporate building with offices and weirdo's. 
 
It's nice and fucking huge, don't get me wrong, but it seems like it kinda kills the Giant Bomb feel.

Sometimes people are entertained by real instruments and not just plastic ones.
 
The room is for recording their gaming stuff, but also for just relaxing and whatnot when they need a break.

I don't think I could work in an open-plan office like that and get some actual work done. Some nice noise canceling headphones would probably help though.
Anyway it looks awesome, and there's more potential for random people coming in to office vids, so that's a plus!

That was Sean Coonce, developer extraordinaire, asking if we wanted to come and drink a bunch of booze with the rest of the Whiskey team. So, no, I don't really see this being much of a problem.

the fact that anyone wants to watch these non-gaming related videos is a testament to the community you guys have built.  Well done GB crew! 
 
I'm also a bit concerned that the close proximity of the other sites might stifle...let's say...creativity.  i have faith in Sara, Will and Norm, oh and Alex.  The other ones frighten and confuse me.

Also, the other floors of the building are filled with complete strangers, whats to stop them from walking downstairs and taking some of your stuff? I saw that only staff can get into the building because of keycards (Who will forget it first I wonder?! Probably Vinny), but the other people could easily take junk. Or is there security cameras? "

This is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw Comic Vine's video of the new office space. It's a tad sketchy.
 
Also, are you guys going to paint the white walls? I don't think I could work in that environment. You should just put up that faux-wood paneling everywhere. Also, you should recreate the Swery 65 in the bar area. You could build a stage and get some red curtains. Maybe a talented GB member could paint a velvet Francis York Morgan to hang on the wall. 
 
The white walls have got to go.

That's a great response, and exactly why I love this site. You guys rock. The video was pretty great too.

Pretty sure she's AHR (or something similar) over on the Tested site, and she's their main video recorder/editor person. The one who filmed Tested at E3.
