So I went over to tested (which is still a pretty nifty sight if you haven't check it out yet) to see what they have up for the first day of the week - and what a week it'll be, the start of mah spring break! - and saw this cool video dealing with the flip camera and all sorts of dentist tools.  Anywho, when I got about 43 seconds in, I saw this strange, bigfoot type creature lurch his way through the background like an amateur who's never been on the business end of a camera. 
pics or it didn't happen?  ok.   

No Caption Provided

 
Again, if you don't believe me (I could very well be wrong, I've never seen him with that amount of hair, and I don't claim to know what every staffer of Whiskey looks like) go check out that cool video and scroll ahead to :43 seconds or so.  Maybe I'm just excited to see him.  Maybe I'm thinking he might sign on with GB (didn't jeff say they were looking at hiring somebody in a bombcast about a month or so ago?).  Maybe I should go for a swim, followed by raquetball and a weights session to keep mah body looking top notch!

It does look alot like him, I wonder when that was filmed.
There's probably no chance but if it was today there's bombcast potential.

I'm starting to think we have a bunch of stalkers here at Giant Bomb now that follow Giant Bomb's every move.  It's kinda creepy.
 
On Topic:  It does look like him.  Maybe he will be on this weeks Bombcast.  I guess we will have to wait and see.

@JJOR64:
Yea because watching a movie on Tested.com is obviously stalking GiantBomb, right?

I'm still wondering if they did it on purpose because he appears to be looking at the camera.
Ah well whatever, it's great to see him in the office there even if he's not going to work for em!

He's in the bay area for two weeks (as he said on his twitter). And considering he's good friends with Jeff & co, it's not surprising that he's been at the whiskey media offices. And considering his twitter explicitly said that he's in the area for just 2 weeks, it's pretty unlikely that he's being hired as a new member of the GB crew.

So? He's a friend of Giantbomb so I guess he's just visiting, why is this huge? 
  
I don't think he's joining the crew if that's what you're getting at

Shame. Alex was my No.1 reviewer back in the Gamespot days. I'd love to see him working with Giant Bomb.

I'm just being realistic. I'm not saying it wouldn't be awesome - I'm just saying that in all likelihood it isn't going to happen.

The dude in the background on the right?  If so, I dunno, he is looking pretty skinny from say 2006 or so at Gamespot where he still looked pretty normal.

Things I know...
 
Alex got fired from Harmonix for doing crack.
Writing ZOMG!!!! for seeing another man makes you gay.
Jeff ran over an old lady and blamed Alex for it.  Now Alex is doing time in Pelican Bay.
And Giant Bomb needs someone who can cover sports games.  NBA Jam is the only thing i see this crew covering.

Know how I know you're gay . . . 
 
I can see your point on the sports aspect, but I can't see them covering the yearly iterations of college/pro football/basketball/baseball/golf.  UFC was covered last year pretty well by Jeff, and he's an admitted baseball fan, so he's going to be giving a look to both of the baseball games that have just come out.  When there seems to be a big improvement or something new we haven't seen before, they seem to do that game/technology justice.  Wii Motion Plus last year was covered pretty well by Ryan when playing Tiger Woods Golf on the Wii.  UFC last year, and MLB 10 The Show has some interesting things it looks to show off for this year, again, which Jeff will be covering.

I can see how that'd be a little suspicious, but here's the thing.  Will makes awesome videos.  He does it in the immediately adjacent room.  And that room's walls are made of GLASS.  It'd be really hard not to sneak a peak at what he was doing while recording if we were actually told not to.  As it is, we try not to be too disruptive as we walk by, but yeah, you'll probably catch us looking in.

This is probably a dumb question, but are the tested.com offices in the whiskey media building as well?  That makes 4 website offices in one building.  How much room do these guys have?

@Brendan: Yep, tested office is in the Whiskey building.  Two floors to the Whiskey building - 1st floor is all GiantBomb, along with the podcasting equipment (fromwhat I can tell, all of the Whiskey sites use it).  2nd floor is all the engineers, puppy, and Tested crew.  Across the parking lot (my guess) you're gonna find the ComicVine and AnimeVine staff, along with at least 1 video lady and their own little green screen.

My guess would be he helped out around the office during the time after he left Harmonix and before he started whatever new gig he has lined up. I mean the guys just covered GDC so perhaps they needed someone to hold the fort, who knows.
 
Still good to see him though :)
