I have been following Jeff Gerstmann from the first time I heard "don't play this game"  and "we play these games so you don't have to."  I was in Iraq when Jeffergate occurred.  When I returned everyone I knew from Gamespot was gone.  Fortunately Giant bomb was already well established.  Not only did it promise the same integrity that i trusted from Jeff Gerstmann but it offered something so much more.  I had at my fingertips real video game content:  Videos, guides, reviews and so much more.  Here I am several years later, seeing the most unique most interesting website in video game history.  I recently completed the 'Famous Friends' Quest and was surprised that the members of Giant bomb weren't on the list.  These guys changed the way video games are presented.  They aren't afraid of showing you an entire game from start to finish even if it takes over 70 hours.  they not only show you the reality of the industry (like the middle-ware Speedtree)  but they give you the real impressions of the best (and the worst) the industry has to offer.  however it is the fact that we create this website that makes it the most incredible and unique experience in video game news.  Everybody who contributes to the Giant bomb community is a member of the staff.  we are all  responsible for the message and the material available here at Giant bomb.  So,  I salute you, Jeff, Vinnie, Brad, Ryan, Drew and all of the thousands of contributors that make Giant bomb great.  Thank You
