Nominate your Giant Bomb moment of the year.

I can't choose just one, but Mile High Club and Big Jeffery are probably my favorites. That and WHERES THE DROP?!?

Getting acquired?

There were funny moments, cool unexpected moments, and some touching ones. 
 
And then there was Team Brad.  It went worldwide!
 
As much as I loved Ed Boon's Hawkman story, seeing Brad finish Mile High was an extraordinary event.

I don't anything beats TEAM BRAD. Still want a t-shirt...

Binary domain quicklook Shit, shhhhhit shiiiiiiit biiiig boooooo

TEAM BRAD

Team Brad was the perfect storm. Everything that built up to that moment made it perfect. The music. The people. The Big Live Live Show. The chat. The game.

The man.

It has to be Brad with the Mile High Club, even among a lot of other great moments. We'd all be lying if we said it wasn't.

^Truth

Honestly, it's the sale of Whiskey Media was a major shock. Never would have bet that in a million years.

The podcast where Jeff pulled up the live feed of the numbers station was fantastic, too funny. I think that was also the one with all the ham radio talk.

The fact that there were so many great moments this year is a testament to the quality of this site. My membership feels like money well spent.

Being sold to CBSi.

The Pancake stream.

Yeah, I can't imagine anything but Team Brad. Such an amazing moment.

Team Brad, there are so many good moments but Team Brad is the best of them all!

Team Brad. Nothing can beat it.

Team Brad was pretty crazy, but the sale to CBSi was pretty crazy.

I was actually visiting a friend in SF at the time, so waking up to the news, watching the live stream on my phone, etc. was all so surreal.

Sean "Puppy" Combs.

Let's watch a pro made me cry I laughed so hard. But teambrad wins for me.

Team Brad. No question!

Nothing can beat Team Brad.

This thread made me remember how great this year has been for Giant Bomb. So many great moments. I love this site

Team Brad.

Easy. Team Brad.

I vote E3 Mysteries With Adam Sessler & McGruff. This year was a really good one for funny Giant Bomb moments, but that takes the cake for me.

...I think I missed the Team Brad thing, could you fill me in, please?

When Vinny used the thing in the garage in the Sleeping Dogs DLC.

Team Beard.

Damn, Im still mad I missed the Team Brad moment......  Ever since Ive joined the site in late 2010 I havent missed a single amazing live stream moment including the one where Vinny, Drew and Dave got the plane to fly

The move to CBSi was an extremely important event for the site, but nothing beats #teambrad.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT THE SHI6 TALK FROM MCELROY ON THE E3 BOMBCASTS. One of the top moments of the year for sure.

Copy/pasted from one of my previous post!

It started by being one of the Breaking Brad premium feature in which Brad failed for 4 hours to finish the level. Fast forward a few months later during the Big Live, Brad tried again on a bunch of the games of previous Breaking Brad. Ryan gathered everyone around for the conclusion of the Big Live and say they'll be ending the show with a classic, The Mile High Club, and see if he can pull it off at which point Jeff let out a super dismissive sound at the idea that Brad can do it. At first Brad seems super energetic and enthusiastic and actually starts playing strong. However this goes on for another 1h30 without success.

And then the magic happened. The Chariots of Fire music playing in the video was actually played during the live stream. It wasn't added afterward. Perfect timing from Vinny.

Also for a short while #teambrad was trending worldwide on twitter and near the top (maybe number 1?) in the US.

@CitizenKane:I feel ashamed for just discovering this video. Funny funny stuff!

Although a lot of awesome moments happened this year nothing was better than watching Brad finish off the mile high club live.

The Murderslingshot discussion on the Bombcast was pretty good. In a VERY CLOSE Second place, TeamBrad.

The Ravaged QL helicopter antics - "Let's watch a pro..."

That moment was perfect... I vote for this.

Vinny really is the indisputable star of the quick looks. He has such a positive energy for video games (he's even genuinely having fun with the sports game quick looks), that he features in sooooo many of the best moments.

'We are farmers now' in the Farming Simulator QL comes to mind for me.

Brad losing it like 2 QLs into 2012 was also great. I think they did Postal 4 (?) and then Duke Nukem DLC... and like 1 minute into Duke Nukem he's like... "what has gone wrong? How did we get here? what the hell is happening?"

Chili at Dave's house. :)

The Wii U live stream, more specifically when Jeff was ultra pissed off at the EA Origin stuff not accepting his real email and he typed in IHateMyselfAndIWantToDie@Comcast.com as a joke and had it immediately accepted.

That moment when the beat dropped in the double fine happy action theater sequel quick look!

It starts at 33:00 sorry can't embed at the exact time.

But yeah, TeamBrad.

My thoughts exactly.

There has been bunch of fun stuff, but it just has to be Team Brad, there is no other real choice.

None shall disagree

Jeff rant on NiGhts. Jeff story on the dude with the white car.

Surely its the buyout?

I spent several days wandering around my house freaking out about it and no one cared. This was a big deal

The moment when the community stopped acting like the San Francisco of the internet.

Oh wait, that never happened.
