I want to introduce a friend to Giant Bomb, and was wondering what video(s) you think I should show them. They've heard of the site before, and have a basic idea of how the site formed. I was leaning towards showing something recent and that has a large amount of the crew. Maybe the 2012 GOTY videos. Thanks for your opinions.
Best Video(s) to Introduce Someone to Giant Bomb?
Or, more seriously, the Best of Giant Bomb Quick Looks by some guy on the site whose name I forget, sorry.
I think the Animated Bombcasts would also be a good place to introduce someone to the crew's general vibe.

Big Jeffrey always says: Drop 'Em!
Does anyone remember the ILM video where Jeff was playing some generic Third Person Shooter and he got a really vile voice message? Reminded me of it when I watched the Call of Duty Vocoders vid (which I'd totally forgot about, good find).
I'd never seen this before. I think I finally understand the meaning of love.

I misread the title as Best Videos to SEDUCE People to Giant Bomb. . . Anyway, I suggest actually using non-official videos.
Those sorta show what kinda madness they might be getting into in regards to the staff, the website and most importantly, the community here.
@zoozilla has my back.
The Sleeping Dogs Halloween QL might be a pretty good introduction, as it's one of the best GB trainwrecks. The Best of Quick Looks videos are probably better though.
If you're friends have 4 hours on their hands, that Phantasmagoria Random PC Game is pretty awesome.
I think most of the videos mentioned above are great. I would say any of the Sleeping Dogs quick looks are great because watching Vinny playing that game is so funny. Also once he is into, the Persona 4 endurance run is a must watch
@dudeglove: I have been summoned.

I absolutely agree that you should check out all of my videos on youtube because they were initially made to introduce people to the best quick look moments on the site. Here's a playlist. Enjoy.

I'm gonna necro this cos' I think its pretty useful.
I made this playlist for my friends (I know these clips would be to their taste it might not be to others though) to have clipped selections to introduce new people whilst also being a tribute to Ryan Davis letting beginners know how important he was to us (that was a messy sentence sorry).
