This Year's best-of for the Giant Bombcast in 2013 (9 hours)

The This Year Collection returns with another best-of for the Giant Bombcast! We put together best-ofs (i.e compilation show/highlight show/clip show/whatever else you want to call it) for podcasts and radio shows, and as is standard procedure for us each year, we’re opening up the new year with a Bombcast best-of.

Because the program is so long (nine hours) I’ve split it up into two parts. Check out the timestamps below for what’s what; we’re including the entirety of the Ryan memorial on the Bombcast because it was obviously an important part of the show in 2013. You can either get the show on iTunes or RSS or direct download the MP3s: Part 1 / Part 2.

Earlier in the year, we also produced our own memorials for Ryan: one two-hour clip show and one clip show interspersed with Summer Jams. Both are available here, and best-ofs for the rest of the Bombcast (the other five years) can be found at bombcast.thisyearcollection.org.

Hey, hope you guys enjoy it! Thanks for all of the great feedback over the last few years we've been operating. It's fun doing this stuff, but it's better knowing that lots of people really like it and come to look forward to it every January when we release these.

I love these. That goes on my player immediately.

Sometimes I say your name because it's so much fun. Is that weird?

YES!! This news just made my day. Can't wait to listen to all the highlights from 2013.

Not at all; perfectly normal, perfectly healthy!

Today is the day! I saw the posting date on the site last week and have been counting down ever since. Off to go download!

I'm really happy to see you're still making these. I've been going back through the 2008-2012 compilations again recently. They've been a fantastic companion to my recent Rogue Legacy obsession.

I love these compilations, you have me addicted to Loveline now..

That is an illegal amount of podcast. I can't wait.

These are my favorite things and you guys are the best. Downloading immediately.

Thanks as always.

<3

I am gonna download all this when I get some proper internet, thanks awesome guy.

I've been looking forward to this. Many thanks good sir, these are great

Good job with these!

YES ! I was looking forward to this year's collection ! I listened to all of them. They are great !

Thank you dude! Really can't tell you how much I appreciate your work, from the Bombcast to UYD and others. Really important and the best part is you do a great job.

Thank you! And thanks to everyone else as well.

@zanzibarbreeze:

I remember doing one of these a couple of years back by the ripping the audio off of YouTube vids, but you've done a much stellar job.

Man, now I'm all sad.

Nice, time for me to download via the tubes Thanks!

i was literary just about to google to see if this years *This Years* GB collection existed yet. Thanks much!

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

To the iTunes! And the site to give you some free traffic!

All right. Real excited to relisten to all the great moments throughout the year!

Do you have the entire Ryan memorial podcast the crew did in the compilation?

That's awesome! These are always great. Also, thanks for introducing me to Loveline (I'm not from the U.S.) and Uh Yeah Dude!

Edit: Goddammit, Ryan. =~

@zanzibarbreeze: I saw this pop up on my RSS feed earlier today. You guys do great work as always.

So much podcast. I have a feeling it'll be over sooner than I think. Excellent work so far. I sorta forgot just how different the podcast feels with Ryan at the helm; it's like a bolt of energy struck the cast.

Not to go too offtopic but we need a compilation of everytime Jeff and Ryan read from the Wiishop. There are magical moments in there.

I'm going to bawl like a spoiled child once I hit the last part that has Ryan

I listen to all of the this year collections! Such great execution on a great idea.

Thanks!

Doing God's work here, guys. I'll listen later.

...Fuck, Ryan Davis.

This has been on in the background all day. These always hit all of the high points and putting the Ryancast at the end is heartbreakingly great.

Man. Hearing Ryan in a concentrated dose like this just reminds me how fucking good he was at podcasting.

Thanks for the best of's, as always. Donating now.

Weird listening to Ryan again after so long. The vibe of the show was so different and his chemistry with Jeff was really something else. Thanks.

Sweet! Can't wait to give them a listen.

Man, I love these. This will be a tough one to listen to, but I'ma do it.

Also, I didn't realize you did Blue Jam series 3 already! Awesome!

This has made me really wish I wasn't at work right now! You do amazing work with these @zanzibarbreeze. Both the Ryan memorial and the Best of 2013 must be listened to this weekend.

Thanks to everybody for the feedback! I really appreciate it. :)

All the best moments have been compiled in our best-ofs, though I can't remember which years now -- 2010 maybe? I think there's about 30 minutes of new releases in 2010. Could be wrong about the year though; there's been so many of them now.

Thanks for helping us out! It means a lot to me.

I was listening to part 1 last night while playing some xbox one games. Every time Ryan would say something loud my xbox would do all sorts of odd things. It kept opening help. Returned to the home screen. It loaded up powerstar golf from the home screen. It opened friends at one point also. And recorded a game clip. I was just waiting for it for it be turned off in the middle of playing, but that never happened.

@zanzibarbreeze: I'm going to spend the evening getting drunk and listening to these. Thank you.

The Ghost of Ryan Davis has haunted your Xbox One.

And I am totally okay with it.

Great work as usual!

Great job on the compilation man, this really sunk in just how much I miss Ryan. Now I'm all down :/

YES!

wooooooooo!

Whelp... Time to donate again! Thanks so much for doing this as always. This collection was fantastic and the final sentence was perfect.
