How long have you been on Giant Bomb?

I want to know if there are any other lurkers out there. I've Been on Giant Bomb since late 09 and I never post on here or the wiki, I'm a lurker by heart. But besides me, how long have many of you guys been here and still go on at least once every month or two.

Before it was launched and was just a blog.

You are a superior lurker to me, You deserve a song.

Since the site launched!

When Tested launched, since I found about Giant Bomb from Tested, after i followed Will and Norm from Maximum PC.

Little under a year.

Ditto.

Since late last year when I moved to Alaska and was thusly bored out of my fucking skull.

since the beginning and only really started babbling recently :P

Last July, I feel like I've missed so much and was super late to the party.

Arrow Pointing Down

I remember seeing it launch but I didn't make an actual account until like a month in I think. Damn it's been a while.

So I looked back at my blog, my first blog was December the 14th 2008, which you can find here. But after that blog I forgot about the site and went away, when I got fed up with Gamespot I went back to Giant Bomb on December the 7th 2010. So almost two years, after the 7th I pretty much started again, so I would say the 2008 thing doesn't really count.

dont really know how long around the time the second arrow pointing down was up. so almost at the beginning

rather late to the party then never showing up. to be honest im kinda envious since you can go back and watch all the freaking awesome vids they made, and listen to all the podcasts without having any memory of it

i dunno. i guess about 3 years ago. Not sure when the site was made.

I joined as soon as I discovered the site around October 2010

Since Day One and been following since the Arrow Pointing Down podcasts.

A day after the site launched. I was super pumped Jeff was back in the game. I wish they'd do more video things, those were the best.

Bitter sweet. Currently watching the P4ER and I love it but I do kinda wish it was live and something to look foreword to every day. I kinda experienced it with the Chrono Trigger one but that was...bad. Compared to DP and P4 (plus the combination of VJ) it was terrible.

I am glad I stumbled upon GB and it really has changed my view on Video Games. I even wrote a blog about my first year with the site but I look at the 3 years I wasn't around and looked at missed opportunities. All the games I missed and now have to catch up on because I was an elitist gamer and only played "9.0 and up games," all the live streams that it is almost impossible to go back and watch them all, and a community that is just as passionate about games like I am. 3 years wasted on fuckin IGN. But I made the transition.

I was aware of giantbomb when it was just a blog and not an actual website yet. I stopped visiting game sites in general about mid-07 for reasons I cannot remember. Visited Giantbomb a few times in that period until I came to this site on a more regular basis in December of 09. Lurked for about a year, made a few posts but never sort of never posted again but still went to the site at least every day. I have only started posting again recently. Slowly getting out of my lurking days by being burnt out on the whole forum thing for a long time.

2009

Been around since the beginning, lurking only though. About the time for the first Big Big Live show, I became a member. A few months later, became a supporter. Loved the P4 Endurance run. Looked forward to it everyday after work.

2 years I think

My first post was 3 years and 2 months ago, but I'm pretty sure I had found the site earlier and just hadn't signed up yet. I'll say sometime around 3-3+1/2 years.

Since the beginning, pretty much. After all of the Gamespot stuff, I heard about Jeff and found out what the guys were doing and looked into it, and then I started following the site. Didn't sign up for a bit but it wasn't too terribly long until started talking on the forums and stuff.

Since day one. Not nearly as active around here as I'd like to be, though, 'specially on the wiki.

followed Jeff's blog then the Arrow Pointing Down podcast from Ryan and Jeff, then the site launch on.

July 2009. I knew who the guys were due to their previous stint at Gamespot. I think it was Garnett Lee who recommended the Bombcast on an episode of Listen Up.

I've know about the site since the beginning, but I didn't join till Aug. 08.

Since the Arrow Pointing Down blog.

This.

I left Gamespot with Jeff. (not literally)

I'd been visiting since following Jeff after GS, but never registered because I wasn't really motivated enough to actually post anything...

Until I was reading the "Metal music fitting for Skyrim" thread and nobody had mentioned Finntroll yet, which is criminal. :P

As long as it's been a website.

Pre-launch. I seem to remember some behind the scenes stuff, and you could comment on them... I also seem to remember the site used to use Gravatar...? Anyone remember that too or did I dream it?

I found it not long after the site was launched back in 08, although didn't register until later. (Basically following the guys from Gamespot)

They had some real quirky gameplay vids which haven't been around for a while. One was a female detective FMV game with sexy female vampires I think (had nudity... woo hoo) and one was a bat shit crazy FMV game. They should re-post both of those.

GB's the only time I've ever pre-ordered a username.

Since Mid 2010 I think, I remember I was around the time when the DP endurance run was ending. Been a member for almost exactly a year.

4 awesome years!

I have been following them as long as there has been a Giantbomb to follow. Came from Gamespot. Though I only started posting in the last 6 months or so.

My sign-up number is 534 so pretty much the moment the site launched.

Since the Hotspot. Then Arrow Pointing Down. Then the Blog. Then Day 01 of Giant Bomb. We have a pretty awesome heritage here on this site.

Joined Novemeber 29, 2009, but I'd been lurking for a couple of months before that.

I joined last november when I stumbled upon the Chrono Trigger endurance run and became a premium member in may. I had heard of the site probably back in 09 but never got around to giving it a shot.

Arrow Pointing Down

Joined in '10 but have been around on the site since '09. I watched the Kane and Lynch review on Gamespot and after reading the comments went over to check out GB - like what I saw and stayed here. Its about the only gaming site on the internet which manages to avoid being a marketing tool for the games industry and who's opinion I can trust.

Oh...and they make me laugh as well....

Maybe 4 years. I wish there was a way to find out for sure. I heard about the Bombcast from another podcast just after E3 and got sucked in. My favorite website ever since.
