This should be called "Giant Bomb Is The New QI". It's seriously just like QI. Ryan Davis is Stephen Fry, and Will Smith is Alan Davies. It even has a totally incomprehensible scoring system.

my two favourite things, QI and Giant Bomb. Wanna see a whole series of these...

Oh hell yes, you already put it up. This was such an unexpected and awesome show. Great way to tie into the SOPA disussion and give us something silly, light and very fucking entertaining instead of another sermon. Not that there is anything wrong with other sites trying to raise awareness but ... my awareness is raised already and I'm not even from the US.

Great show and some cool callers. "Jaberwocky" was the definite highlight though.

I didn't realize how hard it can be to have your call answered for these things. I had a great question about the historical significance of Leonard Part 6.

As I said in the chat comments last night, this has got to be the best PR training you could ask for. Game companies should put all their PR folks through scenarios like this until they can sound completely honest and convincing about whatever they're currently making up on the spot. Jeff is eerily good at it. Always has been, as evidenced in podcasts from old. Kinda scary... You never really know where you have him...
 
Amazingly entertaining, in any case. Great job, guys.

My god can Jeff do extremely dry humour very well! I was genuinely surprised despite seeing so much of his work previously.

I also have zero idea about what is true and what isn't (if anything was?!).

Brilliant.

I found it amusing that people were freaking out over the wiki thing, the site wasn't completely blacked out you could still access the site simply by using

++?banner=none++ without the ++

At the end of the wiki url, actually allowed you to get through almost every site that was "blacked" out, also having ad-block would allowed you to access it, if the kids who were bitching on twitter all day would of applied themselves instead, they could of found out how to get through it.

What i found more amusing is that these kids act like wiki never existed, google exist, why not use it? wiki wasn't there when i was in college and i did just fine.

Man, all you had to do was hit Esc once the page loaded up to keep the overlay from loading. I found it hilarious how people were acting like the site was actually down.

So from what I understand based off this show, it's that Scottish women really like Giant Bomb for some reason.

Right underneath the banner that discusses the liberating effects of hard work?

Wow. They think Scandinavia is the capitol of Norway? We recently studied Norway, and I'm pretty sure it's Reykjavik.

If clicked the "learn more" link on the blackout page, Wikipedia gave you detailed instructions on how to disable java, or that you could use the mobile version of the site. The freakout was hilarious because no one even tried that.

Ryan is a liar. There are plenty of things I was looking for on WhiskeyMedia sites that I couldn't find, because the information on phones, computers, and tablets were not on the Tested site. Unlike the bandwagon jumpers such as wikipedia, Tested has had their wiki blacked out for two years in protest of SOPA and PIPA.
