How To Build A Bomb Ep.01

Very nostalgic for this time.

Legendary Content. Watching on Gerstmann's last day.

Started listening to the beginning of the Bombcast and watching these as a coping method. My heart belongs to Giant Bomb.

@onkel: we have to go back

@onkel: same <>

Coming back here now to reminisce about simpler basement times of yore

Need to build a website? Why not use square space!

You built it, we came.

Vintage stuff

BUILDING A WEBSITE!

Time for that 10 yearly refresher course on how to build bombs.

kinda sounded like a Nick Cage impression there in the beginning

Oh my gawww Jeff’s clean shaven baby-face. We were all so much more innocent back then.

all killer no filler

Thank you for a wonderful 10 Years. Here's to another 10.

Good times, man. Weird in that the upload date of the video (not even the original, the Giant Bomb mirror) was 5 years before I'd even encountered Giant Bomb in earnest.

They built a website!

@dtat: It's so crazy that Giant Bomb became this crazy forerunner of how games are covered now by leaving the review/news model and going with video content in a big way before everyone else. But when you listen to old Bombcasts and watch this stuff, it wasn't some kind of calculated risk or shrewd business sense as much as it was just Jeff and Ryan spitballing and going with the flow.

Don't know why, but Drew leaving has put me in a very nostalgic mood. I grew up with this website. In 2008, at 17 years old, this site began right when I was beginning to become the person I am today. It's hard to put into words what the GB guys have meant to me over the years. They've gotten me through some tough times, and they've been there when things were at their best. I can pretty much track every major phase my life from 2008 until now based on what was happening with the Bombcast crew. Anyway, It's nice to go back to the start.

@nose_bearsOf course. Remember the Arrow Pointing Down endorsements of said drink:

?

Is that Gatorade Tiger Jeff is drinking?

Man. Time flies, huh.

Buildin a website!

@mlarrabee: Yep, who knew these were the seeds for my number 1 site for all the F1 news I can handle!

The only site I have come back to every day for the last 7 and a half years...

Wow! Time... Flown

Whelp, this is where it's gone!

What if this was the only video they ever posted? What if Jeff was never able to get that door open?

Step 1: Keys.

@jimmyfenix: 6 years now!

I also jumped over here after watching the GBeast. It's fun to go back and see some of that signature goofiness and fun that we'd come to see in future vids like the GOTY vids. And indeed, my how things have grown.

Jumping here after seeing How To Build A BEAST, it's crazy to see how things have changed. That's all about expanding an empire, this is all about figuring out what the hell this is going to be.

"It's gonna be a big video game website, it's gonna be awesome." Jeff seems so unsure, but if he only knew how awesome it would get.

Soo good to revisit this classic.

God, that ending.

"Buildin' a website!!"

Best five years of my life. R.I.P. Ryan Davis

5 years guys

They've come pretty far, haven't they?

Man, I can't believe I've been on this site for almost five years!

Mission Watch All Videos on GB #025

Best GB video series. Hands down.

That video was hilarious, can't believe I missed it. If that was a Polygon 'Press Reset' video it would have been storyboarded, filmed, re-filmed, edited, re-edited, colour graded in post for 2 days and at the point when Jeff's key didn't fit the first door they would have cut it, re-shot, edited it out and unlocked the door off-camera for a re-take. This is what I love about Giantbomb, they show stuff as it is.

After this awesome journey why the hell did they go back to gamespot?

@Winternet: agreed

I wonder what the future holds now that the guys have returned to Gamespot? Good things I hope...

Who would of thought... what a crazy journey its been.

March 15th 2012, Giant Bomb returns to GameSpot. Whiskey Media has split.

it's good to watch this fresh energy and a new beginning right now.

Buildin' The Bomb.

Once in a while is nice to check back our roots.

Oh man, it feels like just a few years ago since it all got started and look where we are
