Giant Bomb moving on up. Hype video.

Click this link for the love of Luchadeer. 
Then watch the amazing video Drew or Vinny has cooked up. 
 
With the revamping of the Whiskey website, things are looking a bit more snazzy.   
This pleases me. 
 
Watching the video was almost a trip down memory lane of sorts, and I'm glad to say I've been around for it all.  Well, as much as a user can be, when not actually in the office. 
 
Kudos Whiskey staff. 
Kudos Giant Bomb. 
  
 

"Weekly podcast reaching over 100,000 listeners each week" 
 
I knew the Bombcast was popular, but holy crap...

It feels good to be here since the beginning.

It's awesome that the site turned out so well, I remember watching that first video of them showing the offices, feels like ages ago

Our website...it's growing up so fast. *sniff, sniff, tear*

That video was the sexiest thing I have ever seen.  Also, 400k visits for Anime Vice?  Damn.

Fucking right, boys!
 
Keep it rolling Giant Bomb!

Damn. I remember when 1up first talked about how Jeff and Ryan started a new site. That same minute I jumped on and there it was. I was watching their first video and listening to their first podcast, Arrow Pointing Down. This brings tears to my eyes. I need a hug.

Makes this place feel so awesome.  It's been my gaming home since it launched.

lmao!!!  how baked were those dudes in that video

You're saying we're the cool kids?  I always knew this day would come.

That is an awesome page!

Giant Bomb: The Last Gaming Website That Gives a Shit. Man, that's a pretty good tag line. Who said it?
Hmmm....a Creative Director at a major gaming publisher.... I wonder who that could be....

" Nearly 20% of the audience visits the site more than 200x per month" 
 
I'm one of those statistics... I visit a lot. Giant Bomb is definitely my favorite gaming site.

The only video game website I used to frequent was IGN. Then one day my excitement for Dragon Age led me here for the 30 min QL. It was like a revelation, on that day I was saved.

I joined almost immediately after the Giant Bomb open beta launched way back when, and this is still my favorite video game website to visit. Great to see the stats are good and increasing.
 
Hopefully that page will help woo advertisers and investors enough to convince them to do the right thing and deliver dump trucks full of cash and/or gold bullion to Whiskey Media's doorstep.

Holy crap! Although, I should've seen this coming when I overheard clerks at my local Gamestop talking about how they use GB for the Achievement tracking alone.

It does. It's been a hell of a ride. "

Anybody know what the deal with that graph is? At first it has stats for each country; then, they all shrink to nothing and are replaced by an overall global number, but australia remains recognized individually. ....?

High five to everyone who's been here since the site was just a blog

I remember when what was to become Giant bomb was just a concept thrown around on Jeff's old post-gate blog "still alive" (or something to that effect). That's how oldschool I am.   
 
Before that I used to listen to the hotspot and watch on the spot. Since March two years ago I haven't even visited that site I think, weird. 

GiantBomb is a great video game website.

Ditto. I have a feeling that that site may replace iMDB for me. "

I feel a bit distraught that I didn't become an active member of the community until about a year ago, and that I did nothing but lurk from Giantbomb's days as a blog all the way until then, but still, it's been great to watch the site grow.

i remember those how to build a bomb videos perfectly :D

Two other things: 
 
1) Sara Lima from Comic Vine? Wow, I definitely didn't see that one coming. 
 
2) By watching the videos for each site, you can tell the guys at Giantbomb (no hate on Tested, they're cool too) are the most fun. I wouldn't have anyone else hosting my Quicklooks.

I love that the whiskey guys can take a page like that - serious & marketing-y, aimed at prospective advertisers - and turn it into such awesomeness. Including Luchadeer as a member of the team is awesome, and the using the quote "Giant Bomb is the last gaming site that gives a sh*t." was inspired. Only Whiskey Media could do something like that. And that's why their sites are so awesome.

Giant Bomb was built on gatorade tiger and girls gone wild. I'm happy to see this site going strong.

Somebody please tell me which video it was that Brad was sitting on the couch with all those ladies.

Awesome video. Makes me proud to be part of giant bomb. They should have used Evan brass's  song. Sure he disappeared off the face of the earth. But how many sites got there own theme?

Giant Bomb has come a long way. Its amazing to see a website grow right in front of your eyes.

Thats really awsome. Its a shame I didn't find this site sooner, found it last summer, but I'm just glad I found it at all.  its been great ever since I found it.  Giant Bomb really is the only gaming site I use any more and the its site I go to the most.

Ha, I've just noticed on the about page, there is a link to ZombiePie's profile when talking about "Registered Contributor Profiles". Awesomesauce.

GO GIANT BOMB!  I listened to the Arrow Pointing Down Podcast and viewed their site since the beginning, never made an account until December 8th, 2008 though for some reason.  I guess I just wasn't interested in the forums until then.  
 
That was an awesome video.

Awesome pic of the staff there. Whiskey Media is going to take over the world!
