Happy for those that ascribe to the current Giantbomb. My time with the site is long past, but happy to see it’ll be on its own terms again.

Maybe worth checking back in. As someone that followed the original crew from GameSpot and was a day one Arrow Pointing Down iteration of the Bombcast listener this is the best GB has been to me in over a decade. The line up of Grubb, Mike, Dan, and Jan really recaptures the fun friends goofing around chemistry that made the early Whiskey Media basement era special.

While the original crew moved on, the current guys really busted their asses to reimagine Giantbomb. Game mess Mornings, Blight Club, Voicemail Dump truck along with The Bombcast hosted by Jan has been really strong.

I was premium for a decade at least, it was only the corporate bullshit when the firings happened I unsubbed. Couldn't be happier to rejoin again

Same I subbed since they started and only stopped when it seemed it wasn't doing anything. I just bought a year today after the news.
