The main reason I came at the start was because of the wiki. Then I saw the forums and I came again. Now that we have the customary sarcastic remark completed, I originally signed up to the site because I wanted a wiki relating to videogames. Wikia was decent but it never really felt like you were working on a website as part of a community: you were a cog in the machine and nothing more really. So I searched for 'Videogames Wiki' and this was one of the first results. It was the one I felt was best designed, and I signed up the very night I found it. It was during that night that I also got my first 1,000 Wiki Points. I can remember writing a blog about trying to get to 1,000 Wiki Points.
i voted vinny because even the the biggest reason i come here is for the quick looks and reviews, they wouldn't be the same without the giantbomb crew. and vinny is hilarious.

Boom! Nailed it. The GB crew adds tons of personality to all of the content.
Bombcast. It's the reason I found GB. The guys can talk about video games without being annoying. Apparently it's a super-rare skill given all of the other game podcasts out there that I've tried.
Trolling the forums and all the great video features keep me coming back and spending time here.
For the humour i guess, i love the videos from Endurance runs to the mailbox openings, the Bombcast is the highlight of my week and on Friday night i get to chill, have a glass of Jack Daniels and watch the happy hour. Its a great package, if it was just just a straight up games site i dont know that id hang about so much, its the crazy stuff, the stuff no one else does, that i cant get on any other site, thats why i come here.
Some games just don't get enough reviews to make it a good judgement on whether or not the games are good or bad. I read them sometimes, but usually only to see what the gameplay is like. Usually I just get the jist of what the game is like, then either try it out myself, or find out through the forums.
Followed those guys after they got fired from gamespot, been here since the start :)
Same here! I just wish that Rich Gallup was in the crew as well. Anyone know what he's been up to since then?
It was real cool to watch how the guys started building up this website after the whole Gerstmanngate fiasco. They did it pretty quickly too, I might add.
I picked videos but in all honesty its all of it. To me GB is the closest site we have on the internet to being a digital video game magazine. The quality of the writing, the personality, the opinions. Love it.
Videos are my main pull, then the bombcast. But since Patrick came on board the quality of the news is better than pretty much anyother games new site that I frequent. So now GiantBomb is my first and most time only stop for video game news.
I always said that, if was to ever think of paying for a game website, it would have to be a damn good one--so I thought I was safe--then I found the new improved--with Patrick, no less--Giant Bomb. Dammit, there goes my beer money.....
