Hey there! I’m pretty new to Giant Bomb. What does mean??

[@Housesider]

@@alexandriahaunt5324 The 'Sims Gang Sign', I'm not 100% of when it was canonized in GB lore but it came from the green diamond/triangular thingy that hovers over Sims heads. It eventually became a meme and a sign of respect/unity of sorts when users would post it anywhere.

[@glorg]

@@alexandriahaunt5324 it was at E3 2010 - you can find the full video from the day 3 after hours. A former regular, Paul Barnett, worked for EA and was discussing how the Sims plumbob was a hot piece of merch that year - then it was taken on by the community haha.

All the best to you in your future endeavors.

Thank you for everything each of you do. Can't wait to see where we go next folks. Always rooting for you!

[@Rioraku]

Man. I was not prepared for something like this...

These guys were the ultimate "best friends hanging out talking video games with true passion" that we all wanted. They gave it to us if we didnt have the people to talk it in our real lifes.

[@jainee4507]

Well said.

[@CuteCatXIII]

Heart breaking. Brad, vin, and Alex are some of my favorites. Alex and vinny put out one of the best podcast ever and brad has some of the best original content on the site.

[@PenguinDust1969]

I've been a member of the site since 2008. In all those years I don't think I've missed an episode of the Bombcast or Beastcast. This is crushing news, but 13 years is a long time. Thank you Duders for everything!

[@PaulLundgren1970]

Vinny choking up talking about his wife made me tear up, too. Love that man.

[@DanceswithCoreans]

Yeah man me too

[@shanksworthy]

I’ve been listening to these guys since the Arrow Pointing Down days. I remember trying to prepare for the arduous task of cleaning the garage, and researching podcasts to keep my company. This one came highly rated, and I was not disappointed. The rest is history. I’ve listened to every single episode since then. I’m 48 now, and Giant Bomb was with me through years of ups and downs, garage cleanings, 3:00 AM bottle feedings of my infant daughter and then son, and long days at the office. I’m truly going to miss those guys, and I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

[@akisey1]

Been following this crew since the Gamespot days. Arrow Pointing Down, How to build a Bomb, How to move a Bomb,... I know it had to end one day but this came as a real shock to me. Listening to the Giant Bombcast felt like a gathering with friends. People came and went, but I was happy to see the original crew still present (RIP Ryan). I hope Jeff will succeed in keeping the vibe of GiantBomb like I know it today. Thank you guys for the wonderful memories! I suddenly realise that I'm getting older too.

[@iamasickman]

Now we know why Danny O'Dwyer has been hanging out so much with Giant Bomb lately. He's making a documentary.

[@fudgesticklebear]

@Pheeb Hello Yup

[@vecna00]

Not gonna lie, I think that would be both appropriate and amazing.

[@julianreed7]

@@vecna00 Even more so with the very near future in mind of video game websites largely being extinct. Chronicling this era (15ish-20 years) of gaming websites and traditional game journalism will be so much more important to tell the story of and contextualize for the future generations who won't understand because the world will be so different. It already is. More and more people get their information from Tik Tok and Snapchat. Documenting GB and all the transformative works from the 2000's for games media is imperative.

[@playerslayer214]

This sucks. I've missed out on a majority of the content the last month or so and was ready to dive back in and catch up. Now I feel like I need to relish what I missed and not rush through it. So much entertainment over the years. Thank you all!

[@guip1408]

Same here, this was about to be my first Bombcast after around 4-6 weeks missed, I hadn't missed that many in the seven(ish) years I'm here with them. What a gut punch.

[@ChubbyOddball]

Heartbreaking. Holy crap, I have been listening to you guys since 2005 (Vinny since that first Hotspot he made where Carrie kept embarrassing him). You were the constant in a sea of lesser video game coverage. I love you guys as if you were real friends of mine. Best of luck to Brad, Vinny and Alex. You'll be sorely missed. And to Jeff, Jan, Jason, Matthew and other Jeff, good luck with what comes next. I'll be here waiting along with everyone else.

[@topraman519]

Same here. They were the only group of games media people that seemed authentic, and sadly that largely remains true today. I totally understand them wanting to change things up though. I doubt most 40 year olds want to react to things on camera for a living, and none of them intended to end up in this line of work in the first place. But that’s where the authenticity came from, and their unique situation makes it unlikely we’ll ever quite get a similar group of folks again.

[@Static.1185]

I followed Dan Ryckert to Giant Bomb and quickly fell in love with the content, to the point that I am obviously still here after his departure. Thank you to everyone at Giant Bomb.

[@cameronsumner1175]

I hope we get a 5 hour hotspot this week. Gonna miss the Vinny dynamic. it made the beast cast my favorite podcast I listen to and I rarely even play games anymore. Love all you guys and thankful for the hours and hours of joy you all brought to me. You guys will never know all the joy you brought to folks lives.

They are bar none the best video game editorial site. No one compares. The dream has to stay alive somehow. The video game industry desperately needs GiantBomb.

[@deerpoob]

Giantbomb got me through my last years of high school, I still remember where I was when I heard of Ryan's passing, in fact I was sitting waiting to go to my father's funeral and viewing, that was a hard point in my life and seeing the outpouring for Ryan and giant bomb helped me alot to continue on without my dad and one of the most influencial people on the internet for me. You are an amazing group of guys and you've proven again and again to me how capable you all are of creating great content no matter where you are or who you are with. Quite frankly I love you all and giant bomb has been a home on the internet for me for my entire adult life. I look forward to a happy future for all of you, knowing Jeff will be holding the fort down makes me smile through manly tears.

[@Gallyga]

End of an era. Best of luck to all of you, thanks for the chuckles. 😔

[@AtomicPiston]

Like Brad I am old now and was messing around at a startup going through takeovers and different directions at the same time as the crew. From the corners of GameSpot message boards and Ryan's pencils, to Arrow Pointing Down when it was barely a blog thing through all the iterations of Giant Bomb it's hard to believe how much time has passed, but boy it sure was fun watching it all happen and how the internet changed with it.

[@BUDDYBEATS]

Thank you guys for everything!! I remember first watching you guys in middle school and now I’m out of college, crazy how time passes.

[@AVDahl03]

Nothing but absolute respect for the entire crew.

[@MercMercury]

Gonna miss all y'all's weekly presence in my feed, truly kept me sane during this past year and change. I'll still check what Jeff and the rest of the crew got cooking, but it will certainly be an end of an era. Much love to you all

[@MatthewXP]

Listening to you guys talk about video games helped me get through college. I remember when I first heard about the podcast, I didn’t realize there were actually people who sat around and talked about video games for 3 hours. It was like a dream come true. Since then I’ve gone back and listened to literally every GOTY podcast since ‘08 and frequently turned the latest bombcast/beastcast show on when working out or driving. Gonna miss you all dearly. Vinny, you are one of the greatest human beings to ever be part of the video game space and it will be a terrible loss to see you go. But I hope all three of you find your next path of fulfillment. Thanks for all that you have given and the inspiration your content has given to so many creators like myself. Take care of yourselves.

RIP Giant Bomb. Even if it exists in some form, it'll never be the same.

My favorite place for video games for 15 years. The first internet personalities I've ever followed, this is like watching old friends break apart. Thanks for all the laughs these guys have given me through all these times. I'll be sure to follow them all as they go forward.

[@crumplecrink]

Thank you guys. I’ve been listening a long time and really appreciate you all... take care and good luck 👍

[@JamieBayliss]

Hard to put into words how much the crew means to me. Been listening and watching for about 9 years now. Genuinely felt like you were all true friends of mine. The bombcast got me through some tough times. I felt the loss of Ryan Davis, like I lost a close friend even though i never met him personally. Nothing lasts forever and this feels like a bittersweet ending. You all created something truly amazing. I hope I can create something to be proud of like you lot have done here. Thank you. I wish you all the best :)

i'm still processing this departure but I'm already crying a bit. Giant bomb has meant so much to me over the years.

[@Joolz1982]

Brad, Vinney, Alex thanks for the great times.

[@AmbienAdventurer]

Very interested to see what Jeff does next with Giant Bomb. But like Brad kept mentioning those basement days - those were the times that hooked most of us and made us lifelong fans. The content kept churning but it was always cause Giant Bomb "started with a showstopper" and rode that high for a decade plus. Amazing site, amazing content - the departure of these 3 specifically hits the hardest (other than losing Ryan, obviously) and it truly feels like the end of something special. Thanks for everything, guys - you will be missed.

[@Poetofthefallen]

Alright, who gave a Kane & Lynch game 6/10 this time?

Put off watching this for days cuz I didn't want to deal with Brad leaving and then they hit me with a triple whammy. Brought a tear to my eye.

[@monkeyfuzz123]

I’m 25 and have been listening and watching for about half of my life now. These three folks have meant a lot to me in the work they have done with this site. Early on Brad’s great patient interjections of great jokes influenced a lot of how I’ve interacted with some of my favorite friends I’ve made. Alex’s tastes in music and movies have brought me to so much great art. And of course Vinny has been an amazing model of a kind and joyful person and just an all-around good dude that I always strive to emulate in my life. I will miss seeing them with Giant Bomb, but I know I will happily continue to follow their careers wherever they go. I wish you all the best! o7

[@thegameneededme5]

Best wishes to you guys. It's hard to even put into words what Giant Bomb has meant to me over the years, very much because of the hard work Alex, Brad & Vinny have put into it. This news hit me so hard yesterday that I didn't really know how to respond. I hope you guys (or whoever's running this YT channel) know how grateful we all are for all the hard work and entertainment over the years. The site became a constant for me over the years and that doesn't just happen out of nowhere. You guys helped build something really special that always managed to put a smile on my face, even during some rough times in my life and I genuinely am forever grateful for that. I'm excited to see where the site goes next, but it definitely won't be the same without you guys. I hope you find lots of success and happiness in whatever you do next.

[@BackwardsCombatable]

This is extremely heartbreaking, and these three were a huge part of why I continued to watch, but I came to this site for Jeff and I will follow him anywhere. Good luck to the rest, and good luck to the remaining crew at GB.

[@reke9592]

I’ve been a sub since 2013. It’s crazy how much of a staple you guys have been in my life. I’ve listened to every single podcast since that time and it’s strange to have such a one-way relationship. I really appreciate everything. Love y’all.

[@TheFallkan]

End of era, and hopefully the beginning of a new one. Thank you gentlemen for countless hours of entertainment, information and lovable personalities. God Speed.

[@JollyJeepers]

I really love the way Jeff smiles when Brad thanks Dan @1:22:53

[@zanthox]

My heart really hearts. I started watching GB at the beginning but it wasn't till the endurance run that I became a regular. I watched every video they put out for years. I mostly just listen to the podcast and specific videos now but it doesn't make this hurt any less. Can't wait to see how GB can adapt and what these three guys go on to do. GB has been a great place for people to come to and then springboard off to something else- I guess I just never thought Brad, Vinny or Alex would be one of those to leave... Not till the end...

@@Solidcancer07 Nah he was after Drew. I mean when Ryan was still around. What's really sad is it's just Jan, Jeff, and Jason right? If they don't hire new people soon, the site is over

Shit. Now I'm sad. I'm going to miss them all, its been an wonderful time with these people from the gamestop times and till now. Be well, good luck and thank you for everything.

Been following along with Jeff, Ryan, Brad and Alex since the GameSpot days. Very sad, end of another era. Nothing but love and wish you all the best. Jeff God bless you man, can't wait to see what this turns into, with you always.

I’ve only been around here for a little over a year but seeing the three of you go feels like I’ve been here since the very beginning.

Thank you, guys. You've been the part of my week I look forward to while I listen at work. You'll be missed.
