The Great Giant Bombathon

This thing was glorious, with an ending for the ages.

And more people got to see how cool Emily is!

This was an amazing show, glad everyone was able to get together in person, huge shout out to Jan and the entire production crew, long live Giant Bomb!

all in one big chunk. good lord. now i can re-live the magic

This was fantastic!

Been waiting for this to go up on the site because the watch party wasn't on the twitch archives, did it just not happen?

@jellybones: The computer we streamed on and all the gear in the room decided to die after the stream so we had to postpone it until tomorrow (10/12/22)!

I had a great time, I've got some catching up to do with the night time stuff.

Best Giant Bomb content in years.

Great work all. Great watch. Vinny getting Dan with the wrestling talk = freakin' amazing. Jan, you are a god.

Truly one for the books. Kudos to everyone who had a hand in making this happen, and especially to Jan!

Wow, I'm sort of surprised it was just kept as a single 14-hour video rather than split into chunks. But hey, whatever. Either way it's glorious. I did manage to watch some of it live and had a really great time. I really appreciated the return of Mount Your Friends, what a blast from the past (it's even better with the custom faces).

This is gonna keep me company for a while. Looking forward to all the shenanigans.

So many incredible sequences, but I’m still thinking about Jenga nearly a week later.

What a magical night to be relived over and over!

@janman: Thanks for the reply and all the hard work, Jan! <3

I thought I saw something about a GB East reunion podcast. Was that already posted somewhere? Or yet to come?

@lonelyspacepanda: I know Nextlander have a podcast with the old New York crew behind one of their patreon tiers, in case that might have been what you had heard?

<3 <>

@lonelyspacepanda: What you heard about is probably on Nextlander. They have a podcast called "Never Been a Better Podcast" where they get all the beastcast alumni on and they recently had everyone on at once, which was a very good episode!

"I don't consider myself a loud person"

-no mic on, louder than the people with mics

and there you have it

Such a wonderful show and day! Thank you to everyone involved, Jan especially!

What an incredible time from an amazing group of people. Laughed so much and had a crazy good time

@atheistpreacher: yeah, same, I thought it'd be uploaded in chunks. Not sure whether this is better or not XD

been slowing watching it on the twitch archive since i mostly missed it live but ... this was great , i really missed this vibe

Seen a good few hours of it live, great stream and great vibes in general. Grubb took a lot for the team! Jan the MVP!

@blabbermouth64: I see. Thanks!

I can't say I watched the WHOLE thing, but I checked in throughout and was always delighted to find total chaos and new random people hanging out.

This was a ton of fun, so good to see everyone together!

Amazing show

Loved it, thanks, ya'll <3 <>

@fram: duder, thank you (and ThePieFace42) so much for the timestamps. you bloody ripper!

Dan messing with Alex’s guitar actually really bothers me. You don’t touch another persons instrument.

@fram: Thank you for the timestamps!

I can't believe you all let Dan get away with saying the wrestling term at the end of the night. He knew he did it! As he would say, check the tape!

Incredible.

Glad we're still mounting friends after all these years.

A thoroughly deserved ending there :D

Dan wins again!

Yep, and the video only got 45 comments meanwhile Albummer finale has double.

Best or worst?

See, I can comment on videos IDGAF about too.
