when gerstman was on g4tv saying he was starting a new website
How did you find out about GB
" A little over a year ago(when Jeff got fired from GameSpot) he made a blog. About a month after he was fired, he said he was starting GiantBomb in that blog. I was sold instantly. Then when he said Ryan and Brad were gonna be a part of it, I was totally psyched, because they were 3 of my 4 favorite people from GameSpot(Rich Gallup is one of them). Been here since day one. "
I remember hearing about the who "Gerstmangate" thing, but I never really knew about Giant Bomb until the guys showed up on what turned out to be the last recording of 1Up Yours, at the end of 2008. I downloaded an episode of the Bombcast, as I'm always up for a good new podcast, and had mixed feelings about it; I think the taste test thing kinda turned me off, and I turned it off halfway through. At some point a few months later, I checked out the site and ran across the Endurance Run. Have been addicted ever since.
I had no reason to live, but then I found GiantBomb, and I'm still here in this world.
Thanks, GiantBomb!
I read about Jeff beeing fired from/quit Gamespot, then I wikipedia'd him to see what he was gonna do next.
Either The Arrow Pointing Down podcasts or the Jeff Gerstmann is Still Alive blog.

I found out about GiantBomb when they were on the 1up Yours episode in late December/ Early January.
Just by reading Jeffs blog, then when GB was just a blog, and now this :) - great site, I keep coming back
I pretty much knew that Jeff was going to do something, so I checked his blog everyday until he announced what it was. I didn't expect this whole grand experiment though. By the way, it's funny how much somebody can love something and then turn on it in a matter of a couple days. In this case, it's Gamespot. I knew that wherever Jeff would go, I was going to follow, so I made sure to stay on top of what he was doing. I got a fair amount of joy watching some of the old editors and writers slowly leave GS around that time. I miss a lot of the people from the forums at GS too, but regardless, I won't return.
A listener wrote in to one of the 1UP podcasts asking what podcasts they listen to, i think Phillip Kollar mentioned GiantBomb as one of his favourites. A few months later there was the 1UP/EGM shenanigans which pretty much killed all of the 1UP podcasts, so GiantBomb was my podcast lifeline.
