How did you find GiantBomb.com?

why is this a blog post? I just followed Jeff's leave from the once comforting gamespot 

I was told about the Gerstmann issue at Gamestop (didn't know who Jeff was at the time) then fell in love with all the crap they did between that and Giantbomb's launch. I keep coming here because I know the guys' likes and dislikes and I can relate to what they are saying. I feel that I know what they will think of a game and I love the bombcast stupidity. 

I use to frequent Shacknews.com a whole lot, and I came across a user post about a new project by Jeff called GiantBomb.  I followed the link in the post and the rest is history.  :)

" Not gonna lie, I totally followed Jeff. Gamespot -> Blog -> Giantbomb. Once the majority of the Gamespot crew that I knew left (Kasavin, Navarro, Gouskous, Gallup, Gerstmann, Shoemaker, Davis etc.) I really felt no connection to the site anymore. A corporate business model is great and all, but that can't ever make up for charisma. "

Gamespot - Jeff's blog - Arrow Pointing Down - Giant Bomb - Chie Satonaka

Multiple permanent bans on GameTrailers. Just after the banning of some of my accounts there, I asked around with my unbanned account for other sites to go to, and someone mentioned this one.
 
I came here just in time for the Deadly Permeation Endurance Run.

I learned about the site a couple years ago when watching a VLOG Spoony did where he mentioned Persona 4. Someone in the comments mentioned Vinny and Jeff were doing an "endurance run" and it was a fun watch. The rest is basically history.

I was a fan of Jeff from his video reviews at Gamespot, and then I followed his blog and his "Points!" videocast things (which I still think are hilarious). Then I just followed him to here.

Why is the word gaming in quotes? Do you doubt this websites relevance to gaming? 
 
I can't remember exactly how I got here. I think I was looking at a review on Gamespot and clicked on Ryan's profile.

" I sorta just followed the Gerst man from Gamespot to his blog to this.  "

I first heard of Giant Bomb last year from several users on the Playfire site. When I joined AnimeVice in October 2009, I was going to join Giant Bomb as well, but I got sidetracked with college and doing reviews/submissions on AnimeVice, and it was not until just this past Saturday that I remembered that I could link my main account from AnimeVice to any of the Whiskey Media family of sites, so I joined up on Screened, Tested, and here on Giant Bomb.
 
I have not tried Comic Vine, but I might one day give a look into it over the winter break.

I was going through the Let's Play list on tvtropes when I saw that a Persona 4 "Endurance Run" was on there and decided to check it out. Been here ever since.

listened to the giantbombcast until I had to visit the site, watched a funny QL and was hooked

A few years ago in the comments of the Hotspot podcast someone wrote "GIANTBOMB.COM". I went to it and eventually stopped going to Gamespot.

A story I have recounted many times! Basically a little while after the whole Gerstmann situation at Gamespot I saw someone blogging that Jeff had a blog out there up and running again, and that led me to the site that would eventually become Giant Bomb.

I trolled LUE when I was about twelve after being invited to it via IRC. Became a regular of Gamefaqs. Gamefaqs got bought around that time by CNET/Gamespot. Known most of Jeff's work through that but didn't understand who he really was until my family got broadband and I could finally actually watch videos and download podcasts. It's been years Jeff but I still think you can beat 100%.

welcome ! On the spot was where I first saw gerstman and the crew where they go i Ifollow :P 

somebody posted a thing about jeff making a new site giantbomb.com. i went there registered here went back to gamespot. i got banned for something stupid and came here. man gamespot.com is a strict place no matter where you post there.

Gerstmanngate took me here. 
 
I remember the days when it was blog format, and when the  "how to build a bomb" videos were new. 

I used to listen to the Jeff, Ryan and the others on the Hotspot back when they were on Gamespot.  When I heard the news that Jeff was fired I decided to stop listening. Then I read somewhere on the Internet that Jeff was starting his own website and began to listen to the Arrow Pointing Down and then listened to the bombcast every week. It actually took me like a year and some to register as a member in Giantbomb even though I frequented often. I guess I just didn't see the appeal of commenting and such. Now I do though and I'm here. 
So yeah, I found it through the bombcast, I suppose, technically.

followed Jeff

Been a member since day one. I was a long time gamespot fan but started following Arrow Pointing down (Ryan's blog) and Jeff's blog after they left gamespot and then followed them over to Giantbomb. I remember when this site crashed about every five minutes. They have improved so much since then. 

Checked out Jeff's blog after the GameSpot fiasco, after a while he and Ryan started the Arrow Pointing Down podcast, a post about this site came up eventually and I've been here ever since from way back when this site was just a blog and they were reviewing Burnout Paradise and Poker Smash. Once this place became a for-real site I signed up immediately.

" Found out about it from a Cracked article "

Looked up gamespot on Wikipedia in late 2008 to find out what happened to Jeff. Up until that point, I was busy with WoW and didn't particularly care about other games, though it turns out I missed some great stuff in there that I eventually went back for.

After listening to the Feedback on g4's website for awhile, they mentioned how they kept getting messages from someone about deadly persona, so they played it and talked about how crazy it was. So looked it up on wikipedia and it mentioned that Giantbomb.com was doing an "endurance run" of the game. So i clicked and watched the 1st Jeff and Vinny one and was hooked. Maybe I should go back and watch the Brad and Ryan one someday.

Used to be pretty active in Gamespots' forums. Started losing steam after Rich left On the Spot, and that eventually went on hiatus for a few months. Somewhere around that time, not sure if it was before or later, I remembered seeing something about some sort of large explosive website and decided to visit it. Quick Looks and the P4 ER followed, and I've been a fan ever since. Still visit the GS forums from time to time, but not as much as I used to.

Google.

Since the first arrow pointing down podcast. I'm so happy that Giant Bomb turned out the way it did.

Jeff left Gamespot. I followed his blog a bit.
They did the Arrow Pointing Down thing. I listened. They announced Giant Bomb. Here I am.

"deadly persona"

Found out about it when Jeff mentioned it on X-Play a few years ago.  Found the site and starting posting here often around October of that year.

I don't remember. It was earlier this year, I think. I watched the Mass Effect 2 video review from the link on Metacritic, and remembered seeing that dude in the video on some other website. I'm pretty sure it was Gamespot. And so I made an account. But it could have been earlier than that, I just don't have a good memory.

After Jeff was fired from Gamespot, I typed in his name in Google, went on his blog and found  out about GB. Checked in on July 21st, and that's that.

Gamespot to here in 1 questionable step!

I found it with the internet. Also I used to frequent gamespot.

I've been following Jeff's works since his days in Gamespot. After you-know-what-happened, he started this   http://blog.jeffgerstmann.net/ and subsequently worked on Giantbomb. Not sure Jeff still remember he still got a blog that hasn't been updated in ages. :)

Brad, Ryan and Jeff were all favorites of mine from Gamespot, and seemingly they were gone but then one day when I was watching

GT's Bonus Round; Jeff was there, and Geoff mentioned Jeff being from Giant Bomb, and so I found myself here, and in love with gaming once again!

Alas I did not find Kasavin or Navaro here at the time but Vinny totally "filled their places" with Vin-ease..?

I came to see what Jeff was up to after Gamespot, then stayed because of the quick looks.

I originally came for the Persona 4 Endurance Run. That's the only thing I watched here for the first month or two. 
 
After a while I finally got around to watching a quick look, and found out this site has so much more to it than just the Endurance Run. Now it's pretty much my favorite website.

I hated the Gamespot community (I was a GameFAQs kinda guy :P), but I still liked a lot of the content the Gamespot staff put out. As they began to drop the personnel that I really liked (Navarro, Gerstmann, Shoemaker, etc.), I started to look for another site. It wasn't too long before I discovered Giant Bomb, when it was still a blog and they were putting up How To Build a Bomb episodes.

Early 2009, I was looking up Jeff on Wikipedia, wondering what he was doing because I hadn't heard anything since he left that other website I forget the name of, and it led me here. 

I used to be fairly active in the Gamespot forums, but after The Great Ruckus of Late '07, I found myself hating the site. I stopped caring about video game news sites until late '08 when I got a new job that allowed me to listen to music. I started getting into podcasts and found the Bombcast.

I was a big time Gamespot user (over 30,000 posts)

Some dude from some other gaming site told me about the P4 Endurance Run. I didn't care for it much when I first watched, because the videos were so long. But then I came back few months later, and got hooked. And then I started regularly visiting the site.
