I am in the middle of a bombcast marathon, basically back in Janurary I downloaded every single podcast (Inlcuding APD) and I've been listning to them in order ever since. I'm in Febuary 2010 now and its getting closer to where I started listning, it's such a good acomplishment once its done, does anybody else fancy doing this? It's very interesting even though the game infomation is not relevant, but theres so many good memories! Bird nest drink? Xbox HD DVD Player drive competition, doing it in Jeffs living room, Brad and Vinny first appearing, Alex declining a place at Giant Bomb, Salt Sweedish candy and so many memes being created!
So yeah, anybody else done this?
Bombcast Marathon?
Still in the process of doing it. I've probably caught up to the point where I started listening to the podcast every week but I plan to finish out the year (2010) before I stop. While it takes a LOT of time to do, it's a great experience. It's pretty amazing how consistently funny the group is.
I may do it at one point. Usually I only go back to see what they think of a game after I have beat it (ala I'm playing FAble 3 right now, so I'm listening to the podcasts)
I personally am going through the best of The Hotspot and 1up Yours with "This Year". This guy is fantastic he has cut down 3 years of Hotspot into 3 eight hour casts that are so much fun!
I recommend it to any Hotspot/Bombcast fan!!
I'm a new listener and am actually going backwards. Right now I'm in September 2009. It's interesting to hear them speculating about games that have since launched, especially because Jeff is usually correct in his predictions. The only thing that bugs me is they didn't explain why they changed the intro music. I think I like the old one better.
When I lay down for bed or can't sleep, I'll select a random bombcast and close my eyes. Imagination takes over then.
I've done this, TWICE. I've also listened to every Hotspot (all the way back to 2005) three times. That was during the period in my life I like to call "not having a social life".
I listen to old podcasts all the time when I'm doing a receptive task at work or school. He'll yesterday I listened to the 03-03-2009 bombcast where Ryan was out and Jeff hosted.

Not to brag... but I've done this about 3 times. My commute is a bitch. Or... was a bitch. I just listen for fun these days.
I can't imagine doing that, but only because I can't do much while listening to the Bombcast or I miss half of what they're saying. I listen to each podcast once with some Mahjong to keep my eyes and fingers occupied, but I couldn't find the time to listen to them again and actually listen.
@Hizang: I started doing this about a month ago.I started from the very first bombcast (including the Arrow Pointing Down podcast) and I'm currently at 07/14/09 and having been listening to about 2-3 bombcast a day.
Each Bombcast is a marathon in and of itself. Honestly, I am always pretty fatigued of the experience by the end of each one, so I can't imagine entering into a proper marathon.
For a minute I thought you had lost all sense of time and mistakenly believed that we are living in 2010.I plan to stop at the end of 2010, and then I might be so crazy and do it all again...

I've been listning to so many old bombcasts as of late, I may aswell should be in 2010. I'm starting to get them mixed up aswell, they started talking about Game Room being announced and I'm like what there doing this again?
I've thought about it, but then I realize that I haven't the time to listen to that many podcasts. I barely have enough time to keep up with current podcasts as is!
@Hizang: I've been doing the same thing for the past year, only I started back on the Gamespot HotSpot podcast from 2005. Then once I got to December 2007 (when Jeff got fired and started work on Giant Bomb) I switched to the Bombcast. It was actually my third time listening through the HotSpot... and of course I had already heard all of the Bombcast... Yeah, I'm kind of a fan...
Currently at May 2009.
