Brad Shoemaker
Brad Shoemaker was a senior editor of Giant Bomb from 2008 to 2021, and a former editor for GameSpot. He was the third host of the Giant Bombcast. Voice of an angel.
Where were you when...
I was talking to my mom on the phone right as the doors swung open, and at once I went dead silent. I don't think I've ever been so moved in my life.
My fiance and I had the computer hooked up to the big screen and watched the whole thing. I was off checking the madness that was #TeamBrad on Twitter and she yells "OH MY GOD! YES!"
I ran over and we both stood there with our hands over our respective mouths while he was aiming the final headshot. It felt so good, it felt so right.........glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
In bed. It was close to 3AM here. I stuck around till 2:40 or so. But there is at least video evidence.
I am still downloading that fucking SDK :-(I was playing Black Mesa. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN BLACK MESA CAME OUT!?!?!?!?
I'm surprised no one's put a Brad photobomb at the end so he shoots himself in the face. I was with Brad in spirit, as we all were.

I was asleep. I MISSED THE GREATEST MOMENT EVER SEEN ON THIS WEBSITE FOR SLEEP!! I FEEL ROBBED!! ROBBED BY MY VITAL BODILY FUNCTIONS!!!!!!
No way! You were asleep? But it basically bonded us all together as blood brothers in #TEAMBRAD!
I guess there's always next BLLSL. Maybe something utterly amazing will happen then and you'll share it with everyone. :)
How many hours did it take? I fell asleep at around 3am GMT, and couldn't hold out any longer.
