My favorite episode was the one after Ryan died. It was a time when we were all shook up and confused and the crew came together for a wonderful episode that none of us expected to see happen.
I remember listening to it while playing Forza Horizon with a random duder over the internet as we both listened simultaneously to that bombcast.
It was heartbreaking, heartwarming, and cathartic. It was the first time we really heard from the crew about it in a meaningful way and they shared a lot of stories and emotions. It was a unique experience in all my decades online

Out of some 400 episodes, there have been countless entertaining and hilarious shows -- but none more meaningful and touching.
Speaking of which, I was just thinking earlier this week how I had first learned about Ryan's passing when someone made a post on reddit. I read the title and posted a comment about how sick and fucked up the shithole who made such a gross post was. Then, I visited giantbomb and checked out twitter and my heart fell through the floor as I realized it wasn't someone trolling, but was true. I'll never forget that moment.
