Happy 13th Anniversary Giant Bomb!

It's hard to imagine but today Giant Bomb celebrates the 13th anniversary of its full launch. That's right, Giant Bomb is officially a teenager! It's time for this site to complain about pimples and braces as well as social pressures about what clothes the cool kids are wearing.

Anyway, the site has certainly been through a lot in these past thirteen years. There are many people who have come and gone on Giant Bomb whether they be guests, staff, or users. Regardless of where you may be or how you may have found this silly site, I think a hearty thanks is in store for everyone who made this past thirteen years memorable and enjoyable.

Someone has posted this before but crazy how far the site has come!

Happy birthday duders!

13 years, right when I was finishing grad school. What a different world it was! And somehow GB endures.

Here since it was a wordpress blog

13 years ago I was in University. Flipping heck

A series of screencaps of the site over the years that I posted years ago.

It’s great to hear about that!

It's been a long time...(cue Rorie)

Happy birthday, Giant Bomb! When the site started, I was in Iraq, trying not to get blown up by giant bombs. So I feel a connection.

I was a podcast-only listener for a year or so starting in 2010 or 2011, then came to the site for Quick Looks and stuff, and finally subscribed in 2016. Here's to many more years!

13 years?!

Wow you throw dark, but so does giantbombdotcom!

In another five years, I'll buy you your first cigar!

Happy anniversary GB! Hopefully you'll get through puberty just fine!

It is hard to fathom that I've been on this website for over 13 years if we count the blog.

What a website. This place has given me a lot of laughs and really shaped my connection with games over the years. Here's to many more.

This is where I finally learned all about the LiMB System.... and a little bit about myself.

Thanks GB!

13 years? Man, it's a testament to the resilience of the site and staff. Keep on truckin' :)

Happy birthday, Giant Bomb! Been here since the beginning! <>
Only screen I could find with the site. Seems it's from 2011.

To imagine I’ve been making these forums great for roughly 10 of those years.. heck of an achievement.. for myself!

"TYPE IT ON THE SITE! IT GOES RIGHT ON THE WEBPAGE ON THE SITE!"

I'm not convinced that half of those videos weren't made with the explicit intent of annoying stone-faced Ryan Davis. MAN I miss that energy.

I can still remember, while on vacation at my parents' house and half-past-drunk at 11PM, randomly thinking, "I wonder whatever happened to Jeff Gerstmann after the Gamespot fiasco???" and Googling him.

I found a blog crawl with some other ex-Gamespot folk, and a podcast that would fast become my must-listen of every week. And whose hands are these before me? Typing these words? They're so OLD AND WITHERED!!!

The memories of those early years really brings me back. I love this place. I never stopped following the staff content, but even though I don't use the forums much anymore, I enjoyed browsing and posting with the community. It's good to see that some familiar users ( @sweep !) are still involved.

Those first 5 years were the best, pretty sad to see the where this site is 13 years later. Not a very happy birthday
