I'm going with the announcement of an Xbox 360 Whiskey video player. Hopefully better than the youtube one.

Whiskey Media is buying THQ. Saint's Row 4 will be the first project. Jeff Gerstmann announces himself as lead designer.

Right... IF it's the Whiskey-con (which has been floating around for a good while now, and something Dave have really been pushing for)... Then maybe this Molydeux Jam will be at the same venue - The Whiskey-con would have been secretly in development for a good few weeks... and maybe Patrick saw the opportunity to integrate the crazy idea into the Whiskey-con for relatively little expense

@deathstriker666: No, they mean Giant Bomb. Patrick is helping organize it. It's not what this announcement is about.

Yeah, guess you're right then. Back to wild speculating!

You guys, Giant Bomb and Whiskey are moving back to Sausilito.  Or however you spell it.  That's totally it.  Think about how on the coverage from chili day it was all "GB sausilito"  
 
And I'm down with that.  Also tasted wouldnt suprise me neither would be actual integration of the sites into one main site nor would a vox games related purchase.  That's my curveball guess.

I have no idea what it could be, but it seems that everyone has been out of the office all week, so it makes me think something is going on there. I doubt they would move offices though, there is a BAR in the office itself. Who would leave that?

Jeff's been talking in Jar Time for a while about lots of possible changes to how they do reviews and the editorial/critical emphasis of the site. I think it's got to be wrapped up in that.

It's a bit weird that they're doing so much from Dave's house lately. I do wonder if GiantBomb is spinning off.

Either that or they're combining into one site.

I think we're missing the big question here. If the Giant bomb live stream is longer than 10 minutes, we're going to have Sophie's choice on our hands. You will have to chose your allegiance in one final decision between the sites. It will be the literal apocalypse! Er, unless you can just shuffle back and forth muting one stream at a time, but that's impractical....

They're likely just using Dave's house as an off-site venue. Food and Sausalito are red herrings.

I'm actually kind of hoping for some kind of deal with twitch.tv for a Giantbomb show, or a Tested.com show. Maybe with good production values? I think that would be cool to replace the old Happy Hour that used to be on Fridays. The were really hard for WM to do, but maybe with twitch.tv's help it would work out. I really hope it isn't something like WM spinning of GB or Tested, that would really suck.

That would be a terrible idea. GB is pretty much the cash cow for WM, and GB needs the WM Top Men to stay functional. There's no reason for them to split.

I doubt they'd be gleefully hyping it so much if it was something the community would dislike. My hopes are high.

As is the internet standard, whatever is announced I'm sure will be a change and therefore, I'm prepared to hate it, petition it, and actively threaten all of the Whiskey Media members via Twitter.

They are going to reveal GiantInlay, a website about dentistry. This also explains the chilli and pancake nonsense.

Whiskey Media will finally reveal they have been brain washing us with their content all this time, and now they're going to use us to take over the wolrld? :P
