How to Build a BEAST - Episode 01

@spctre: It does as far as i'm aware - I think they may of moved relatively recently. There are quite a few shops similar to this in NYC - but their pricing is not great. This shop is called "Video Games New York"

does that store still exist? looks like my dream video game store

:'(

The new "temporary" studio.

haha that comment at 2:00 didn't age well

Alex: I'm not in my apartment every damn day for the rest of my life.

2020: Hello

Worked out

I would go to New York just to go to that store.

Robin fucking loves Castlevania

They're livin' the dream. Again. For the very first time.

I love it! Can't wait to see more content!!!

Just gotta say, I hope Giant Bomb becomes more of a hobbyist site if it isn't seen as that already.

I'm enormously pleased to see VGNY plugged on GBNY. I love that store.

*edit*
that's dope, I work two blocks from GBEAST.

I'd go broke at a place like Video Games New York

Build me a Bomb. GB East is real.

The camerawork is outstanding.

Great Video! This has gotten me greatly excited about the future of Giantbomb.

I like the song in the beginning of this video. Anyone know what it is?

YES!!!! This was Fantastic!!!

@ssully: @deusoma: I need to watch this then.

Damn, might go check out that VGNY when I'm downtown more often.

I am really looking forward to what comes out of this. :)

Can't wait to see was videogameseast.com has in store.

"How to Build a Bomb" was the series of videos they released when they were founding the website itself back in 2008, otherwise I'm sure they would have. n_n

Excellent. I'm feeling the excitement and that's a good fucking start for GB East. Faster than expected as well. Here's hoping this madness will actually pan out but you guys have pulled off equally challenging things before!

Someone had to.

Awesome, what we need is some Giant Bomb guys close to LI!

@vinny I feel like you guys spent a segment of this video window shopping for Jeff. Not saying it's a bad thing, I just know how much Jeff loves Nights into Dreams.

@shtinky: On some level, I agree, but I think most people are just honestly a little afraid about the future of the site, and I get that. I mean, you listen to last week's Bombcast and literally the only person from the original crew (Drew was added early enough that I consider him an original duder but he's relatively new to the Bombcast) is Brad. That's insane.

Patrick got added, the site got bought by CBSi, Vinny became a dad, Ryan passed away. A lot has happened. Now Vinny has moved to New York and two new editors are joining. Will they fit in or be a drag? Is Giant Bomb East going to work? What about when they need to hire? Will those new editors be good? It's scary.

So when a guy like Danny comes on and really hits it off with the crew and the community loves him, it's natural that people would want him to stay. We're a big, dumb family, and we've been through a lot together. I don't think that's childish or naive.

YES!! East Coast is the.... Beast Coast?....

That store was rad. Its like a little Super Potato in Manhattan! :D

Fair enough, but there are plenty of people who say it and aren't joking.

Like almost every time a GameSpot guy appears on UPF, there'll be the typical "they should hire that guy" comment(s), and it's so childish and naive.

This is actually going to be really cool for the site in general. Get some more Alex on the screen, and just a good diversity of content.

I was thinking how this video should be called How to Build a Bomb; then I thought better of it.

Why is there no TVs in the TV Guide office?

This was great. Now I'm legitimately excited about GB East.

Epic throwback to the How to Build a Bombs with Jeff and Ryan in a basement in Sausalito!

Woot! Welcome to the neighborhood. I never knew this place existed, hmm must check out Video Games NY. Maybe Ill walk out with a power glove :)

Yeah, this is pretty much the beginning of exactly everything I was looking forward to when Vinny announced his move back to NY. Manhattan is such fertile ground for guys like Alex and Vinny to take advantage of. Can't wait for more!

Great video, I'm to totally going to hit VideoGamesNewYork this week.

I had to pause the video to scroll down here and say how excited this video made me. I love Giant Bomb!!!

EDIT: Helllooooooo, Robin.

I love this so hard

Thank you for the video. Video Games NY looks amazing. Wish there was such a place near me. For the love of God, if you do bring Jeff there please make sure to record every minute.

Great video, and I'd love to see more of Dan and the inner workings of that store. That is a fascinating perspective that you don't get to see every day.

This is an awesome video. Love being at the beginning of something awesome again. Also, that was a great interview with the game shop owner.

I can't wait to see more! Good luck Vinny and Alex!

Just wanted to add my +1 to the idea of seeing more of both Dan and Robin in future anythings. Cool people, and I think they'd be fun to have as recurring guests.

I came for the indie store, stayed for the terrifying Mickey Mouse costume.

Good luck guyz :)
