In light of "Duder, it's over" biting the dust (at least temporarily) what staples of Giant Bomb's past do you remember and miss? 
 
I for one miss:  

  •  "...powered by pancakes, booze, and viewers like you."
  • the old (though not original) Bombcast music, not that I'm complaining about the new music
 
What do you miss? 
 
And may "Luchadeer is at a Los Lonely Boys concert" never leave us.

The "video thing" intro has been severely underused and I miss it.  Luckily they still do mailbags.

I do miss the office videos, however they obviosuly have less time to do this sort of thing, aswell as less content to fill this sort of video with.

Duder it's over is still there..? 

In a simillar vain though, now that, "Replay the Video" is gone I'll never misread is as "Rapelay the Video" again.
 
Seriously, Rapelay has ruined that word Replay for me.

I'm not actually familiar with this one, which is exactly why I started this thread. To see what I've missed altogether and to reflect on memories of things I just couldn't recall. 
 
Though I must agree, the first How to Build a Bomb episode was the first thing I ever saw on GB and was the reason I ended up using it.

They haven't used it in a while on the Bombcast, but I still say "Totally *blank*, totally party."  There's also tons of stuff from the Endurance Run as well, but it's understandable that they wouldn't use that stuff anymore since the Endurance Run is over.  A nice "Get Bent!" every once in a while is always appreciated.

Does the Persona 4 Endurance Run count?
 
 
If so, that. I've already decided that I'm re-watching it again this summer.

The Endurance Run is great, but I like to think there will be another one, someday... someday... 
 
And who could forget: NEVER.

Definitely the Persona 4 Endurance Run.  Also, TANG.  Also, the energy drink taste tests that were always on each podcast are now less frequent (I don't miss that very much, though).

I say that ALL the time. I actually started doing it in front of my wife, and even though she has no idea what it's from, she's started saying it too.

@cinemandrew: My roommates never come to Giant Bomb and I've even gotten them to start saying it.  It's totally infectious...
 
...totally party.

A near 100% supportive community?  People capable of expressing themselves using techniques a little more sophisticated than 'INCREDULOUS REALLY??'s.
 
I know that sort of crowd is unavoidable with a site growing as rapidly as Giant Bomb is - and you could even take it as a good sign - but fuck!  I have a rage vein nearly busting out of my forehead just from reading the forum tonight.
