Hey Duders I want to know, how hard have you represented your Giant Bomb fandom? I think that this picture says all I need to say about my own rep when I'm on the gank. Not pictured, the two signed Dan Ryckert books I own or the email response I personally received from Ryan Davis (R.I.P.) that was sent right after the Big Live Live Show Live 1, when he must have been complete wrecked tired but still took the time to be honest and forthcoming on my question. Or how the community has helped me keep my sanity these many years.
How hard do you rep Giant Bomb?
No picture but I wear my yellow Hot Dog Scoops shirt like at least once a week haha. I love that shirt!
Also whenever I try to sell a friend on a game, I always send them the quick look ASAP.
I'll typically wear my Luchadeer shirt every other week or so (it's a shame I can't wear it at work because of a dress code, so I can only wear it on weekends) That's about it, outside of talking about the site every now and then with friends.
Almost all the tshirts I own are GB related. Unfortunately it's always bitingly cold where I live so they're always hidden under sweaters and coats. I did have a GB hoodie but constant use caused it to basically disintegrate.
I don't have any GB merch. However, I do want to wear a Giant Bomb hoodie to an airport. Just to see what happens.

You'll get narc'd on, until they need someone with HOTAS skills to take over.
Every time I smell marijuana I make a tweet of the location I smelled it.

@i_stay_puft: Nice reference....... for me I only have my Vinnco shirt so far.
I work in a lab, so there's pretty much no dress code outside of closed toed shoes and long pants, so I can rep GB at work all day. I feel so sorry for all the people at my work that have to wear polo shirts and suits every day when I'm there rocking the Flight Club shirt.
I wore my BOMB hoodie to Cuba last year. After I went through customs it came off cuz that place was as hot as hell.
i feel a tiny bit bad in a way but the only GB merch i own is all unofficial (two EXCELLENT fobwashed shirts :) ). been eyeing getting a hoodie or something though.
nvm i take that back, Dan repping the shirt designed around/for him pretty much makes it 100% legit.
i would love a real keepsake tho, like some sweet Ryckert beard trimmins

Damn narc...Ryan would be proud.
@baka_shinji17: I've never worn the hoodie, but I've worn a number of GB shirts through airport security in the US with no problem.
I've worn my hoodie pretty regularly with the hopes that another fan might recognize it, so far to no avail. It also doesn't hurt that since I managed to grab it when Rorie was throwing them out at the 2013 PAX panel it's one size smaller than I usually wear, and thus inexplicably makes me look trim as fuck.
Though I did manage to snag a size-too-small Bombduders shirt at last year's PAX panel that makes me look like Jabba the Hutt, so I guess there's some karmic balance going on there.
I framed my giant bomb poster signed by the crew and keep it hanging in my office at home. I wear my members shirts pretty regularly. I've had people ask about Bombduders, especially at the disc golf course!
I don't own anything Giant Bomb related even though I've followed these guys forever. Don't know why, I just never saw a reason to. Now that I think about it, I don't own any clothing that's video game related either.
I have the first premium member shirt but I don't know where it is in my house. So I guess before I lost it I wore than shirt pretty frequently but not it's all subscription.
Got my signed Nighthawks poster framed and hanging prominently in my dorm room and I wear my logo shirt at least once a month.
They don't sell shirts in my size but I seriously considered getting a Fuck Ryan Davis shirt anyways. I really regret not doing that.
The way I sold my girlfriend on Giantbomb is by showing her the Babysitting Mama video. To me it sums up perfectly what I love so much about the site, and is still one of the funniest things they have done.
I own a bomb duders shirt that I shrunk in the dryer/got too fat for and still rock that shit anyway. YOU'RE WELCOME WORLD
@bluefoxxy: I am digging the hell out of those designs!
Haha that american flag reflection in the sunglasses is a great touch!
That is not a reflection, those are the glasses. Thanks Dan Ryckert for convincing me to buy those. NO REGRETS
@shaggydude: I really hope that's how Drew signs everything.
Whenever I hear peeps talking gametalk I walk up and SMACK say GB SON.
Video game criticism just got critiqued!
I am in the process of making GB themed Mameshibas. I also talk about GB with my friends who don't play games, and even those who don't but have never seen the site.
I have one GB shirt I got with the membership but wear it mostly around the house, I do want that hoodie because of the insane import and shipping I had to pay last time I can't buy anymore merch. Which is strange, I usually order stuff from oversea's, even Japan and never had to pay over 20 bucks for imports.
The Bombcast has been my alarm tone for years, if I ever meet someone who plays video games I ask them if they know about giantbomb, they never do. Thats about it, I feel bad.
I have a tattoo of Jeff Gerstman's face on my face.
Who doesn't?
