The past little-over-a-year has been worth the price by far

This is going to be a short blog post that I'm just going to throw up before I pass out. I bought a WM year-long subscription this morning as soon as I found out about it. I missed most of the BLLSL due to my college's terrible Internet (and classes). I think this whole thing about having to get 5,000 subscribers to keep the Bombcast "the same" seems shady at best, downright dirty at worst. Everything else seems fine to me.
 
BUT! 
 
I just wanted to let everyone know that I most certainly already have gotten my $50 worth of entertainment from Giant Bomb, and I've only been here since E3 2009. I was an avid Digg user then, and I somehow stumbled across a YouTube-posted clip of one of that year's E3 Bombcasts; specifically, the "NEVER" bit. I was like "holy shit, this is just what I've been looking for: a ridiculous, funny, entertaining, but informative weekly podcast about video games!" I have been an avid listener and reader ever since. 
 
I took this past year off from school due to a myriad of issues that I won't even begin to detail here. Regardless, after graduating high school and watching my friends go off to college in the fall, I was stuck working at Walmart part-time on an erratic schedule for a year, all the while dealing with family problems. I first ignored these damn "ER" videos that kept coming up on the Giant Bomb homepage, but eventually, I stopped to watch one; holy shit, it's like more Bombcast, but with a cool-looking game under it.  
 
(I realize that I am jumbling grammar and tenses, but whatever, I'm too tired to go back and proofread at this point.)
 
So I started watching from Episode 1, and man, that stuff was great. I was disheartened to learn that the show was ending very soon (like, four episodes to go once I started watching), but I stuck it out and made it through to the end. I spent many a day working 5-12pm, driving home, watching the Endurance Run for five hours or so while eating microwavable food, passing out, waking up late the next day and doing it all over again. 
 
I had a bit of disposable income this past year, which I blew on several, several video games, but none of them was 99:59+ hours of entertainment, I'll tell you that right now. 
 
The Bombcast continues to be awesome, Quick Looks are still great, TANG and TWWoTANG are both excellent, Mailbags are never not entertaining, and... did I mention the Bombcast? Two hours of raw entertainment every week? For free? 
 
I must reiterate that asking for 5,000 subscribers seems really kind of bluntly rude, but other than that, everything about Multipass and subscriptions is great, and I'm behind Whiskey Media 100%. That is all. Now excuse me while I fall asleep.
 
(Oh shit, this was supposed to be short, wasn't it?)
