Haven't read this whole thread yet but there's a moment from one of the really really early GB/Arrow Pointing Down podcasts where they are in Jeff's house and Alex is there and Alex gives Ryan an energy drink and Ryan says "well how should I drink this?" and Alex says "you down it straight to the bottom in one gulp". So Ryan does and then he starts gasping and coughing as he sputters out "Crushed Pills...you asshole..." and then Alex says "let me tell you what you're in for - you'll get about 45 minutes of delirious happiness followed by worst crash you've ever experienced in your life...ENJOY!"
I might not have every word precisely right there but that's pretty much how it went. I was sitting in my train commuting to work that morning with tears of laughter streaming down my face and everyone on the train is staring at me like I'm having some sort of epileptic fit.

my other favorite is the gag from one of the Bombcasts where Jeff is SCREAMING about wanting to go see Dumbo and Ryan is playing the patient mom while Vinny plays the dick deserter dad - that one was more recent, maybe a year or so ago. The play between Ryan and Vinny was just amazing with Jeff screaming like a 3 year old in the background.
and of course the Breast Milk episode, although I think I enjoyed more his comment on the subsequent bombcast that he didn't feel bad about drinking the breast milk but he did feel bad about taking the money. That's classic Ryan.
gamefly was an invaluable resource for me in the last gen, both for playing and purchasing. If not for gamefly I probably would have played half or less of the games that I ended up playing. I've got about 80 games on my Xbox 360 list. Let's say 20 of those were new purchases. Another 40 were bought used either from gamestop or gamefly or best buy or whatever slickdeals hooked me up with. The remaining 20 were games that I played at LAN's with friends just for an hour or so.
So 75% of my games I probably wouldn't have bothered with if I couldn't get them at those prices. Said another way, unless MS goes into "Steam Sale" territory, I'm going to be playing a lot fewer games.
someone is going to slap me (hard) for saying this, but my favorite game of the last decade is Star Wars The Force Unleashed and it's not even close. I played that game through probably at least five times and I think it got better every time.
The last eight years (since Halo 2, really) is also where I fell completely off the multiplayer bandwagon - I was a huge MA and H2 guy but then every single game had a multiplayer mode and my friends just jumped from game to game to game and I just didn't want to play all those games. (I was on one of Jeff's recent Jar shows where he talked about this)
