@jstaunton: yeah, also not in the video bomb app for me. A bit annoying as that's how I consume most of the content via Chromecast.

It's kind of interesting to see the wiki being front and center on the site like that. The current site is less cluttered and easier to process, but there's something kind of interesting about how it used to look. Or maybe I just want Dragon Ball Vinny and rainbow colors all over the homepage?
I think because Giant Bomb started out as a pretty wiki-focused site. It kind of mirror's the homepage of Wikipedia and other wiki sites.
After videos started to become more popular, and Jeff's growing dissatisfaction in the current state of the wiki, GB started putting their video content in the center stage. At least until that long talked-about wiki redesign happens.
In the early days; the moderators had a giant queue of wiki entries the users were creating. Entries had to be approved and we had to ensure that it wasn't plagiarized from other sites. Not sure if that is how it works now, but it was quite an overwhelming process at the time. GB is a huge database of games now; I can't even begin to imagine the best ways of organizing it but they are doing a great job.
I was browsing through some old photos and found this one; thought it might be a little blast from the past. It's also Windows XP, and I had found another photo with my dog standing infront of the old CRT Compaq monitor I was using at the time. Windows Live Messenger was also a thing. Perhaps this old stuff is archived somewhere, but regardless - enjoy! :)
