What did I miss on GB the last 3 months?

Hey duders. For those of you who know me, you might have noticed that I've been absent for the last three months or so. Being in the army takes me abroad a lot, and these past three months have been absolutely crazy.

Short story, I haven't been able to watch anything on the site since christmas. So duders, I need you to tell me what's worth catching up on. The best podcasts, UPF's, premium content, whatever. Bring me up to date, thanks!

If you notice Patrick is missing it's because he left Giantbomb to work at Kotaku.

Best premium content thus far has been the continuation of Metal Gear Scanlon (currently going towards the end of MGS3)

Mario Party Party 3 happened a month ago or so. Definitely check that out, even though it is nearly four hours long (it's so worth it though, especially the ending).

Dan and Danny started a premium advice podcast called Danswers. It's actually surprisingly good and there are a few piece of Dan Rykert gold in each episode.

The rise of Jason.

MPP3 is good and they started another unplugged which continues tomorrow.

Patrick left to join the French Foreign Legion.

@nightriff: Is that when they play board games and stuff?

@legion_: yup, they are playing dungeons and dragons

Demo Derby should probably be mentioned. Really starting to love that show.

Brad left the site

UPF with Dan's dad:

You missed me creating a new MMA megathread. Join in! Even if you don't like MMA, force yourself to watch it. You'll learn to love it even as you learn to loathe everything around it, from the fighters to the promoters to the fans!

I can't think of much that hasn't been mentioned yet but welcome back duder.

WARNING : CONTAINS ICKY STUFF

This is great. Thanks guys!

@flstyle: When did he read Ryan's tweet? Also, is there any recording of the bomb crew talking about it?

The answer to both of those questions is I have no idea!

Dang I feel like @flstyle covered most of the key points in one fell swoop haha. Demo Derby has been excellent too, as has Metal Gear Scanlon (though that one's not for anyone who might be easily frustrated by watching people bumble around a lot getting lost). Production panel from PAX East is probably my personal highlight, which is partly down to video producers at GB/Gamespot being rad across the board and partly because I work in video production myself and found it informative as well as entertaining.

It's a segment on Jimmy Kimmel called Mean Tweets. It's on Youtube. Also, I've never heard them talk about it.

Thanks for your service, duder!
