After Jeff left Gamespot, I kept an eye on his blog. Eventually, news of the Bombcast surfaced there and I began listening to that. Eventually, I joined the GB site. I was never a member of Gamespot, I just like the Hotspot podcast with Jeff and Ryan." Jeffs blog .^. "
How did you guys find Giant Bomb?
One of my friends nearly failed college because of this site. I had to check it out. I nearly failed college lurking as a result.
I heard about it from Jeff in an interview with X-Play where he announced his website's name. Had never heard of him before in my life as I solely visited Kotaku and 1up for my gaming news back then but hearing about the situation (or what little we know about it) I sympathized with him and decided to give his site a chance. It's now my main gaming site in terms of community.
i remember clearly, i was gonna buy tony hawk proving ground and i checked jeff's review on gamespot, and i had taken great interest in how jeff reviews and explain so i looked him up on wikipedia and there it said he got fired and founded giantbomb, i went to check it out and been a member since, this site is truly unique
Through four player podcast was talking about it and I remembered how much I missed the old gamespot guys so ya here I am.
Where like a community here, no one is scared to post anything. I came here after a Friend told then I made another account.
I remember seeing one of those bumb video with Jeff explaining the site, "it's a web site, about video game. Giant bomb"
was like WATTTTTTTTT Jeff made a site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and google'd it.
there wasn't anything on the site yet and I though it was just a joke and didn't come back
then I heard the guys from the 1up game of the year Podcast and I was O!!!M!!!G!!!
loved the site ever since
the best site ever when I was 15 was Gamespot,
the shits happens and then the best thing ever was 1up along with Giantbomb close to 2nd
then shits happens and and Giantbomb is my primary site.
nope there isn't a pattern anywhere : (
I was on the Myextralife.com forums, and we were talking about our Games of the year for 2008, and one poster mentioned the Giant Bombcast episode. Which led me to poke around, cuz at the time, I wasn't listening to a lot of podcasts that were exclusively about video games. All I had was general nerd stuff from Extra Life Radio, or World of Warcraft podcasts.
