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 subscribed to Arrow Pointing Down and Jeff's personal blog.  They put up a link when they first announced Giantbomb, so I kept an eye on it.  I joined the day all of the features went live.

I woke up one morning and Vinny was dancing on my computer screen; telling me to go to Giantbomb.com. The rest, as they say, is history.

Same as most other people, Jeff's blog and Ryan's podcast.  Glad I found out about the site though; it's awesome.

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.

I followed Jeff and Alex Navarro's blogs.  One day Jeff said a surprise was coming soon.  Then he said to check out his new site.  I followed his new site.  I remember when they first had that first "How to Build a Bomb" video where Jeff has the wrong keys for the building.

From Jeffs blog after he was fired. The start was really exciting, waiting for the launch etc... The site has turned out pretty damn perfect (imo).

Yeah, we know each other in real life. He told me too come to the site a while ago, but I was not really interested back then so I just surfed around the forums a little bit.

I was flicking through the comments on The HotSpot and someone said Ryan and Jeff were on a blog called Arrow Pointing Down. Two weeks later, the blog kicked off and it has been great stuff since.
