Almost all of the lengthier premium videos have been uploaded to youtube by assholes.

Tested released all their premium content for free after they were acquired. The Happy Hours were joint ventures by all the sites, hence all the Happy Hours are now free.
 
I went on Giant Bomb and the favicon changed.

It looks cool.

I actually went back and watched some of the Bricked episodes. Fun stuff.

TNT for tonight is going to be Ridge Racer: Unbound and Burnout: Revenge!

Pretty awesome that they mentioned burnout revenge in the RR quick look. When I saw the announcement for the servers being shutoff I immediately thought, "I need to put more time into the last true Burnout game before it's gone forever."

Also, RIP Burnout 3. I still miss you!!

Did they say when in April they are switching premium accounts to GameSpot whatevers? My subscription ran out yesterday and I'm already missing HD videos so I'm thinking about subscribing for one more month.

Sounds like they won't be. Giant Bomb will have its own subscription service. However, they are giving members a free Total Access membership as a sign of good faith.

I think the idea is to allow GB to create its own revenue, which will mark how much latitude and freedom it receives.

They'll disconnect from the rest of the Whiskey Media log in-stuff in mid-april, but premium memberships won't disappear or become a part of GiantBomb. Existing premium members of GiantBomb will receive a free premium membership of GameSpot as an added bonus, but HD-videos and subscriber content will continue to exist after mid-april, so you'll probably have to resubscribe for a year if you want to keep hanging on to those. :p

Yeah, Jeff made it very clear that Giant Bomb premium memberships will remain completely separate from Gamespot's and that current premium members get the option for a Gamespot membership as a bonus.

I'll paypal the annual sub if I get another t-shirt :d

EDIT: I'd never wear a t-shirt that's game related or labeled but the Lincoln Force shirt is obscure enough that I'll wear it.
 
Oh man, Jeff cracked me up so much during the earthquake video, hahahaha
YOU WOULD BE DEAD! YOU WOULD BE DEAD!

We almost lost Brad, it looked like. That hallway nearly got him.

Rogue saftey officers... That's what the illustration from Hot Fuzz actually was. It all makes sense now.

Ah okay. I misunderstood then. Thanks.
