Jeff made a good choice by tasking Brad or Patrick with Xenoblade Chronicles. The amount of repeating battle dialog in that game would drive him insane.

Man, what a bunch o' jokers!

I don't know if this has been asked, but why hasn't the Freejack banner been hung up on the walls yet? Or even Shaq's head?

Shaq makes his first appearance in this video (on the wall behind Brad)

Ughhh... Now it's REYN TIME! I stopped playing the game 9 hours in because of it (and the belly top).

This video gave me two things: i have the same mouse as Brad, and Shaq is still there...everything is going to be alright!

I could handle one of these videos every day. Let's call it: Building the Bomb.

I want a job like theirs so badly that it hurts.

I have the Logitech G700 too and I love it. What is the large mousepad they are using under the keyboard and mouse? It looks to be made of a hard surface and I want to know what brand it is so I can find one!

I had Brad's mouse. I think the weights are kinda pro gamery BS. I mean, if you're really weighting your mouse to improve your gaming, you need to take a serious look at your life.

Still, Go mouse races! woo!

Take a serious look at your life? More so than somebody commenting on the fact in a forum?

Fuck yeah! I feel like a trendsetter now - I have the same monitor (because 16:9 is a joke), mouse, and keyboard as Jeff. I researched the hell out of that stuff and I can attest to the quality of the hardware. As someone who writes and plays a variety of PC games, I'm particularly picky about keyboards and was hesitant to order the K750 since I couldn't find any on display to test in stores; have no fear if you're in a similar situation, it's a wonderful keyboard.

I agree, too, that going back to a mouse without hyper-scroll sucks after using Logitech's sweet spinning magic. Don't forget to fine-tune the DPI on your mouse and assign some macros to all those fancy buttons, Jeff, so you'll be even more disoriented when you use someone else's mouse.

I'm glad the old plaid couch made the move with them.

WELL, this is a dumb video!

It's like how to build a bomb all over again. Kinda into it.

It'd be cool to see a walkthrough of the office. I want to see all the crazy equipment they've been talking about.

During all this craziness... Ryan you are my anchor.

There are amoebas with greater self-awareness than you.

I love the hyperscroll on my Logitech mouse

Brad with the uppercut bun!

"I have a Wii."

XENOBLADE ENDURANCE RUN!

Sunk 80+ hours into my first run through Xenoblade (topped at Lv88) and I didn't do all sidquests nor Uniques, so yeah, this game can be long but a great one to end me using a Wii for awhile or... forever. Looking forward to the QL.

Huzzah, on the mic I'm droppin' scrollable science, and I'm scrollin' through the 'hood with my e-mail client. Huzzah

Ryan saying hello IMPROVED MY NIGHT

Guys, everything is gonna be okay.

SHAQ IS IN THE BUILDING.

Haha! Ryan playing Rayman was great!

Dem monitors are so good. My two are doing great!

You should've gotten a mechanical keyboard. Same with all of them at the office. Nothing beats a mechanical keyboard for gaming or writing.

I want more of this! I want this every day! I want to feel like I'm there.

I just got the mouse on the left, the logitech... something-or-other, last week. it's pretty sweet. My first ever real gaming mouse.

Love content like this!

Nice to see Tony and Sara are in there with you guys - still ignoring all of your stupid shit.

yeah it is! i would be SOO bummed if GB and CV got split up. It'd feel like whiskey was completely dead if they were seperated.

@Colt45: me too hopefully once they get everything set up they will do it.

I want more videos of the new office being built out. I don't know why but I really enjoy watching this stuff.

Who's that guy at the end!?

Gotta love these videos. Always fun seeing a more behind the scenes kind of look. Gives the site more personality. Giant Bomb crew is the best!!! Thanks guys, keep it up!

The chime noise from the first office is back!

Also, those mouse wheels are friggin awesome!! First time I've ever heard let alone seen them. That's great!! "HULLLO!!"

I guess they sold off their old equipment at their old office?

Are they retarded? Those weights can actually fuck up your wrist, never use a heavy mouse.

I'm curious, what's the functionality of the laptops being alongside the desktops?

They said they had a lot of their old equipment, but a decent bit is staying with Whiskey Media though. So, not everything was left behind, but some seems to have been Whiskey Media stuff and not strictly Giant Bomb stuff. Looks like they'll be movin on up tech-wise though.

there hooking there laptops up to monitor's, mice and keyboards

Solar panel keyboard, that made me laugh.

I recently bought the mouse that Brad has! Awesome mouse!

@ShaunassNZ:

In your home they're great! Until you have to hear the CLACKKKKKKKKKS of 5 keyboards at 45+wpm. It actually is a little grating after a while.

@Kontrapunkt: Get O-rings. I have blue switches and there's just clicks and no clacks. Get brown switches and O-rings, silent.

I hate it when a game doesn't give you audio options (like turning down the voice volume separately). Though I seriously urge you to pick it up again, the places you go are so wonderful!
