And So The Bombcast Marathon Begins!

So I wasn't around in the mythical days of old, when dragons roamed the lands and when the Bombcast was first forged. So I missed a lot of shenanigans, and this being some sort of colossal changed in the bombcast with a new schedule. I thought I should go back and study the ancient scriptures of the bombcast. So tomorrow I will start my Bombcast marathon, listening to at least, one Bombcast a day starting all the way back from when it all began... 
 
I may post back in this thread to exclaim comments about the shows if I feel the need to. And if any of you want to, feel free to join me!

I don't really see the need to, even though there might be a few memes you would miss out on from Bombcasts back in the old "taste test" days.  I've not heard all of them and I had started listening to it in late 2009.

Even though the news is outdated, it's still great hearing their theories on developments, especially since you already know what happens later. 
Also if you enjoy the personality of the Giantbomb crew like I do, I say it's worth it.

Start with the Arrow Pointing Down podcasts if you can still get them. It was a podcast that Ryan and Jeff did before the bombcast, but after they quit/left Gamespot. 

Why not go even further then that if thats your plan. The Hotspot used to be pretty cool.

i go back and listen to random old podcasts and still enjoy them, i'm kinda jealous you get to hear all of this stuff for the first time

I go back and listen too to some of the old ones as well. There was one old one were it was still just Jeff and Ryan and they were talking about something Peter Molyneux said in an interview about how he was working on something that would "be on the cover of science magazines"...or something like that.  
 
Its cool hearing it again because at this point you know Peter was talking about Kinect.  

User Matthew has a lot of Bombcast breakdowns. It's almost as good as listening to the older ones.

i love listening to them try at predict what will happen to certain games/company/deals , jeff is surprising good at it

I've listened to almost all of them more than once. The outdatedness doesn't bother me because they're so entertaining! 

Thanks for all the advise guys. There are a few arrow pointing down casts on the bombast iTunes feed. And while the clip stuff looks good I think I'm gonna do it the old fashioned way, plus it makes me feel slightly omniscient having the advantage of hindsight.

Good luck, that's a lot of hours man!

I did the same man, got into GB after hearing Jeff on 1up with Garnett...holiday 2008..been a GB addict since.. starred to listen all of them n to be honest they just keep getting better n better..always wanted to support these guys or at least donate but since they went paid membership I signed up...really wish there was a lifetime membership

Did exactly the same thing mid-late 2009.

JoeH , 
 
     I did the same thing about a year ago.  Went back and listened to them all.  It's fun because you get to hear some old jokes that still occasionally get call-backs.  I salute you in your quest for knowledge, sir! 

Go ahead listen to it. It is amazing as the old episodes are time capsules from 2 years back. I've listened to all bombcast 3 times over, their predictions were the best. Jeff predicted in July of 08 that Starcraft 2 would be out by the end of 2008, what a joke :-P
