You know what I love? The Giant Bombcast.
 
You know what else I love? Trivia. Think I'll combine the two (and besides, I need to boost my 'topics started' number for that one quest).
 
So, I'll just leave this here: Since the site launch in March 2008, there has only been one Tuesday with no Bombcast posted. Why was that Tuesday skipped?
 
 myketuna is the first with the correct answer, which I've hidden away behind this spoiler warning.

Ha! No clue! Maybe the recording was corrupted in the computer?

I do remember them recording the bombcast a second time because the original recording was lost, but I thought that it came out the same night. I don't know if this is what you are referring to. Is there a prize?

Nope. That did happen once, on December 9, 2008, but that didn't stop them - they just recorded another one after lunch.
Incidentally, they knew what they wanted to talk about, were a little punchy from having to do it again, and were drinking beer during the show. Obviously, the December 9, 2008 podcast was one of their very very best.

Well holy shit. KensterFox did not only know what I was talking about, he knew the exact date. He wins. Regardless of which bombcast you are referring to. He gets the prize. There is a prize, right?

They did a podcast immediately after getting to their hotel room for TGS - that was posted on Tuesday.

Actually, it's not wrong, it's CORRECT! The only Tuesday since the site launch without a Bombcast was October 14, 2008, the day their flight touched down in San Francisco after TGS 2008 (Ryan mentioned picking up Saints Row 2, released on the 14th, at the Best Buy in Marin City on the way back from the airport). They'd been up for 28 hours and just couldn't hold it together enough to podcast... which is saying something.

lol. Really? Nice. I've never missed an episode, so maybe that info was embedded in my brain somewhere.
