Hey duders,

Some friends of mine have shown interest in getting into Giant Bomb (probably 'cause I talk about and make references to the site a lot) and asked me to present them "an intro to Giant Bomb".

I tried thinking about which videos would be a good introduction, but thought: What better way than asking you guys? I guess there probably are similar threads on the forums but I can't seem to find it.

Anyways, if you guys were introducing someone to Giant Bomb, which videos/bombcasts would you suggest to them?

I started listening to the podcast around mid 2012 but only started properly visiting the site around 2013. Turboman's best of Giant Bomb series is awesome to catch up with the inside jokes and stuff. I would also recommend just youtubing some clips of the bombcast they seem to capture the best moments. They're also some premium stuff out on youtube aswell.

Also, if they are looking for some podcasts to listen to This Year just released the best of bombcasts for 2014 which is pretty cool. http://www.thisyearcollection.org/ The previous years editions are on the right hand side.

I always show this to newcomers. Can't think of a better "101".

These are definitely the most comprehensive resources available that I would have suggested to get into some of their best material as quickly as possible.

I would also just throw in the "this year" podcasts. They are compilations of some of the best moments and discussions from the Bombcast for every year from 2008 through 2014.
