Well, I guess Giant Bomb has finally hit the big time thanks to Drew's meme phenomenon.
I did a legitimate double take when I saw Drew's face amongst the headlines and, sure enough, an article follows in which a slightly bemused writer outlines Giant Bomb, the origin of the meme ('a Giant Bomb show called Unprofessional Fridays...'), and transcribes a short "interview" with Drew.
This makes his announcement from the 'popular gaming website' all the more poignant and laced with a certain tragic irony - they've finally exploded onto the international media consciousness and their white, blinking poster boy is about to leave. Thus the rise, decline and fall of Giant Bomb.
