Here's to another 500, you magnificent bastards.

Been nostalgiaing a bit this week, me. Going through some old content; I really, really miss Ryan. It took a solid year after he passed before I started listening to the show again.

Congratulations on 500!! That is some hot GB history porn at the top of the show.

I came across videogames.com the old fashioned way as a 14 year old kid, typing videogames.com into Netscape Navigator just to see if any site existed there. There was only a "Coming Soon" page, but I made a mental note to come back and see what was up. I checked back a week or so later to find a bona fide video game website and have been gleefully following that thread ever since. Thanks for the good times GB.

MIDA Multitool is the worst part of Destiny 2. Crucible is fine because of the map design but Trials of the Nine has literally just been MIDA and teamshots. I really hope when Season 2 kicks around that they just take MIDA out of the game or nerf that specific gun into the trash so I at least see it less.

Bossbounties huh? I hope i get to do the tutorial boss :)

I would also be very interested to see someone with 0 cooking skills follow instructions from someone that knows what's up. That's a good idea you have there Jeff ;)

When it comes to buying bags at the supermarket, over here we just have them hang near the checkout. Customers can just grab a bag if they need one and purchase it together with their other products.

But bringing your own bag is always the nr1 option. BYOB people!

I honestly haven't listened to the Bombcast in a long time (just a time commitment thing), but you know I'm going to listen to this one. 500 episodes... hot damn. Great job, GB!

Ben, my sweet, dear fellow leg shaker. Next time you have an opportunity to shake your legs on the podcast, you may want to consider not putting your hands under the desk at the same time. Starting at 1:40:00 for a few minutes, one and then two.

I'm with Jeff, the charging for bags is so freaking stupid. I just tell them no bags and throw all the crap in a crate in the back of my car. Also why are the bags for fruits and vegetables free, but regular ones cost money? I know they can't really carry anything heavy in them, but what if I just went over to that section and grabbed a ton of those bags and use them? And then bags are free at places like Home Depot, but not at other places. California is stupid a lot of the time.

Blimey, impressive to have gotten to the big 500!

On the show; shame none of them tried Steamworld Dig 2 and I see they're just going to keep going with PUBG, which is a shame.

Loved the little retrospective at the beginning.

Great job on the big 5 double 0 guys!

I believe the Xbox 360 video Brad was talking about was this https://youtu.be/EhW_SXzyUXI

Highly recommend this channel, Syop Skeletons From Fighting deserve way more attention.

So the iTunes podcast feed includes the 'Giant Bomb at Nite' audios from E3, the GOTY debates, a few one offs (interviews, GDC, etc.), and three episodes of Arrow Pointing Down.

Are any of these in the 500 count or is only the main, weekly episodes?! We must get to the bottom of this, the count must be true and verified!

But either way, hell of an accomplishment

@undeadpool: me too, it's always interesting to hear what went on in the older days.

The point about podcasts in particular though was a good segments. I remember even as recently as a couple of years, when I told people I listened to podcasts their response was usually "listening to what?" Whereas now it's far more common.
