"A Long Road" - GB 10 Year Tribute Art

Absolutely incredible, great work!

First thing I noticed upon loading this up was DMX Goomba... and it made me smile. This is amazing work, duder. Love it.

It's wonderful, I love all of the small jokes. It's great they just hit you over and over again. "OMG Jeff's Shirt!" "Omg GOOMba!!!!" thanks for this, it's awesome

I'd love to see all of the references with links to them, just for any I might not know or remember. That would be hard, but would be cool.

Man, this is incredible! Austin should be in a mech but other than that amazing work duder!

Whats the reference I'm missing with Brad in a suit with a baseball bat? I think I got all the other stuff but this ones lost on me I think. Is it a knife vs. bat thing?

Also, is Jason in this and I'm just missing him? Can't seem to pick him out.

Now that is a tribute! Fantastic work duder.

@fatalbanana: I think it is knife vs bat, Jeff has a knife!

SOMEBODY PM WHOEVER THEY NEED TO SO WE CAN GET THIS AS A PHYSICAL POSTER!!!!

And great job, duder!

@fatalbanana: pretty sure that's him below the bomb logo dressed as Ten Count

Man, you even got the old, temporary, new couch in there.

@toug Holy fucking shit duder, this is amazing! Great job!

Fucking rad! New desktop background. GB should definitely pick this up and make a poster of it.

@poke__egg: Oh ok, that makes sense. For some reason I thought that was Johnny V or something.

@franticsociety: Isn't Jeff holding the bomb and Vinny holding the knife? I didn't think they were close enough to be related but I could be wrong. Anyway, all that is meaningless either way it's an awesome picture.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Vinny is holding the knife and that it's a reference to the knife "toss" he did in the first Hitmas video. Although, I guess it could easily double as being part of the knife vs. bat debate.

Anyway, this thing looks freaking awesome!

Love this! Curious also about the flies buzzing around Brad (guessing Brad deaths in games? though that seems a bit weird), but we'll find out eventually and overall great job.

@nickfoley: Couch transcends time (if you remember GOTY 2013).

@fatalbanana: The suit Brad’s wearing is the cherry blossom from Deadly Premonition. Complete with circling flies because he never remembered to clean it!

Update! I added a guide to the original post with the 93 (!) different points of interest.

And as for prints of this, I don't think I'm gonna try and sell it anywhere (and there's way to much copyrighted content on this thing for GB to ever sell), so if you want a poster of it, feel free to take the high res art in the original post and print your own. Just note:

- It's formatted for 11x17, so that's the ideal print size

- Make your own, just don't sell it! That should go without saying, right? Cool. Thanks.

Awesome work!

This is actually insanely cool.

This is god tier

I love it but why isn't this a bad button up shirt. I would buy it!

Awesome stuff!

10 years of memories.

Fantastic!

this is really good. Ryan as Bobo is especially nice.

What a masterpiece

Really awesome poster duder! Lots of great stuff in there, holy cow.

@ripelivejam: pretty sure this is a reference to the Deadly Premonition endurance run where Brad and Ryan played together (Brad "drove"), and never showered Francis York Morgan, and there were flies buzzing around him constantly.

edit: i read another comment that was correct, it's because they never cleaned the suit he was wearing, not because they didn't shower. i almost had it.

edit2: ahhhh #5 is a reference to the funniest moment in gb history

So good! When you throw it all into a collage like this, it's hard not to think "Man... Giant Bomb Dot Com is a weird goddamn website". Not that I'd have it any other way, of course.

Amazing! Great work, duder

Yep, this is pretty great.

Can anyone link to what the "NEVER" image is from, I can't remember what it is from.

@dwigtk:

@teoball: Right! Oh I feel bed for forgetting that. Thanks!

That is a pretty incredible work.

I would pay money for a version of that which can be hanged on my wall.

This... this is art.

It belongs in a museum!

Absolutely fantastic work.

@toug duder I need to give you money for a print. How do we make this happen?

Wow, this is so cool!

This is great!

Hell of a tribute! I've been a user since the start, so this is one big nostalgia trip.

I mean, it’s ok.

I hate people who have more talent than me....

Amazing work, Love it!

Awesome tribute!

This is incredible.

Really phenomenal work.
