Nominate your Giant Bomb moment of the year.

#1 Edited by Pr1mus (2545 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

EDIT: Don't post in this thread anymore people, the actual poll it right this way!

I'm thinking of creating a poll later this month to see what you duders think is the best moment of the year on Giant Bomb.

It can be anything. A wild Jeff story on the bombcast, part of a quicklook, a live stream etc.

I'll see what answers come back the most often and make a poll with that.

I'll start with my own suggestion. Brad joining the Mile High Club. It was the perfect conclusion to the BLLSL3. The achievement, Vinny's pep talk half-way through, Chariots of Fire playing... simply perfect.

YOU DEFEATED

For those not interested in reading the thread, here are some of the more popular choices so far (after 167 posts). In no particular order.

- Chris with the white car.

- Let's watch a pro, Ravaged quicklook.

- Pancakes at Dave's and a wild CBSi annoucement.

- Sleepy Dawgz DLC quicklook and patching failings.

- Happy Action Theater dubstep.

- Big Jeffrey's roller coaster rampage.

- MURDER SLINGSHOT.

- Jeff's 40 cents story from Pax Prime. "I'M GONNA CARVE 40 CENTS ON HIS CHEST!"

- Drew's North Korea stream.

- P51D Mustang flight club. "Open the canopy!"

and of course #teambrad.

Continue to post more! I'm likely going to keep the 10 most popular for the poll and maybe consolidate some of them together, like the flight club stuff for example since a lot of different ones have come up but the P51D Mustang is the most popular of the bunch.

Either the 'teamBrad' thing or the sexism thing. Both took their toll on the site.

#8 Posted by ArbitraryWater (9225 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

The PAX Prime panel when Jeff was ranting about the guy at the gas station not giving him change. So fantastic.

#9 Posted by MocBucket62 (704 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

3DO TNT needs more love. I nominate the moments when Barry from 3DO Need for Speed talked to the crew and Jeff thought Barry would pull his pants down. 
 
Either that or hearing Jeff rant on NiGHTS on the Bombcast.

#10 Posted by HelicopterSpy (73 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

#TeamBrad near the top of the trending list, Eric Pope listing off people checking in for Team Brad, Patrick running in with two beers yelling "Give me both your hands! GIVE ME BOTH YOUR HANDS!". No question.

#11 Posted by Meepasaurus (167 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

The Ravaged QL helicopter antics - "Let's watch a pro..."

But yeah, TeamBrad.

#12 Posted by Pr1mus (2545 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

@ArbitraryWater: Yes! One of my favorite too!

"And by the time i got back to my car i wanted to KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER!" while banging on the table. :D

I might've said the TNT where Jeff talked about his planned RAID, because I went back and that clip stayed funny after several viewings. But seriously, TeamBrad redeemed an otherwise sorta dull BLLSL, and the part where Vinny started playing Chariots of Fire only moments before he pulled it off was just magical. TeamBrad is the moment.

#14 Posted by crusader8463 (13171 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

That time Jeff said the thing and everyone laughed. It was pretty funny. Also, what @Meepasaurus: said about the "Lets watch a pro" bit. I laughed so hard at that I almost blacked out because I couldn't stop laughing.

#15 Posted by ShadowConqueror (2599 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

TEAM BRAD.

#16 Posted by deano546 (156 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Surely its the buyout?

#17 Posted by IAmADwagon (44 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Although I'm with everybody with #TeamBrad, the Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare in North Point Quick Look deserves honorable mention.

#18 Posted by Soapy86 (2466 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Happy Action Theater Dubstep. Also, that "Let's watch a pro" thing was fantastic as well.

Team Brad takes the cake but special mention is Jeff's stories about the house he lived in years ago, they are hilarious.

The Fortune Street TNT was LAST YEAR people, last year

Cards Against Humanity TNTs were pretty good.

#20 Posted by Zecks23 (128 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Team Brad's great but I'm going to have to mention Big Jeffrey from the Rollarcoaster Rampage QL

August 1st I believe (podcast is just Vinny, Jeff and Ryan for 3 hours) was the first and it's great podcast in general but the stories are awesome and it was brought up again....mid October with Chris with a White car story.

Halifax, Nova Scotia is Team Brad.

#27 Posted by mosespippy (2697 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

There were a couple podcast segments from the summer that stood out to me, like Vinny's HAM radio adventures. They kind of missed GDC because they were bailing out of their old office and E3 was a quiet E3. The topic doesn't say funniest or best or biggest moment so I guess the Jeff and John Davison talk was kind of an important moment. Man, there really isn't much this year other than Team Brad is there? At least Tested had some moments, like standing on top of a nuclear reactor.

Team Brad is going to be hard to beat. It's rare that I stand up and cheer while watching a livestream.

Why the hell is the audio different every time they replay it?

@Demoskinos: Someguy made this montage, all the voice samples are from the same Ravaged quicklook.

#33 Posted by believer258 (8169 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Brad's moment of glory.

I mean, c'mon guys. He even grew a beard afterwards and everything.

@BisonHero: What's the TNT where Jeff explains his idea for the Raid? I think i missed that. I know what the raid is but i don't remember seeing it on the TNT.

#36 Posted by ShaggE (4635 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Team Brad by a mile. Watching Twitter blow up (especially the people joining in that had no idea what a "Giant Bomb" or a "Brad" even is, just that something big was happening), tweeting encouragement at Eric Pope, cheering along with the stream, Vinny's amazing music cue timing... yeah, it was funny because it was "just Mile High Club", but that was seriously an awesome moment.

I nominate the Digital Combat Simulator: AC-10 Warthog quick look, the instant they blow it up on the runway.

#teambrad forever, but I feel the Pokemon poop flinging scandal and the conclusion of our Sherlock Holmes saga deserve a spot as well.

Team Brad is pretty amazing, but I gotta go with the WWE 13 I Love Mondays, which might just be the greatest thing mankind has ever created.

#49 Edited by RandomInternetUser (6779 posts) - 6 months, 11 days ago

Yeah, it's gotta be Brad finishing Mile High Club I think.

(There are tons of amazing moments, now that I think about it.)
