@snapster It's about 20 minutes. I don't listen to it all in one go. :) I've been listening to those guys for years, and it's probably my favorite podcast, even outside of games.
@snapster games aren't even the best part of the podcast. The end of this one is great with a story about drunkenly ruining gifts that you bought your parents.
@fyreblazer and you didn't go VMP?? Always sign up for VMP on your first purchase instead of paying shipping. Then if you buy anything else for the next 30 days, shipping is free!
You can count me as another that ended up here because of it. I had heard of it when it was created and then promptly forgot about it but the bombcast piqued me enough to come and make an account
Yep, was listening to the Giant Bombcast and heard it. I went to the Meh predecessor a few weeks ago and was wondering what happened to it. When I heard about this I immediately came here and was flooded with waves of nostalgia.
Same here. I am a little embarrassed I hadn't heard about it already. I wonder if those guys are how I originally found Woot all those years ago. It's entirely possible.
Yeah, seriously, I'm here entirely because they brought it up. And I have to say, these meh guys are EEEVIIIIIL. They know EXACTLY how to say all the right things to make me wanna spend money.
The bombcast brought me here, now I have this site pinned to my phone's home screen.
Brad mentioned the first post for the site, any link to it? Or a good way to scrub through the archives and read old product posts and see the pictures?
Love this place! Wish I knew the best time to check it...
@Snigs At the bottom of every product page each day is a map, poll question, and calendar. Click on the calendar to go to past days. I think it started on Tuesday, July 8.
I don't even know if these are forums. I just got linked here from the main page, so I don't know if this is like... a necro bump, BUT YOU LINKED ME SO IT'S YOUR OWN DAMNED FAULT.
I absolutely came here from Giant Bomb. Even without them remembering the name it was easy enough to find. I remember Woot only vaguely, never got big into it myself but I remember people raving about it. I've followed this site daily (I started visiting the day that podcast aired.) and just made my first purchase today with that $33 headset as a backup pair. I went VMP because I knew the first buy-in is what makes you just say "What the hell" when something you only-kind-of-want is on sale. May as well save myself some money later!
Anyway, I love this site, the one deal a day thing is always entertaining, it's fun to watch the video (I didn't for a while, barely noticed the thing, make the default player size bigger, give it a little more room!) and read the description of the product, and of course to see what little entertaining editing is done to the images of the products.
So you now have $38 more than you did prior thanks entirely to Giant Bomb! I'm sure you're jumping with joy!
The Giant Bombcast??? what is the url?
@Kidsandliz Appears to be http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/
I never heard of Giant Bombcast but I will check it out.
Video games!
raises hand
Yeah I wandered in because of the bombcast
Yep
anyone have a rough time stamp for a lazy ceo?
(assuming the 8/26 episode?)
@snapster I'm surprised you don't have a guy/gal to fetch you time stamps and taste your food.
@BillLehecka that's what @dave is for I thought
@BillLehecka yeah, this community value thing is for the birds.
so I'm streaming 20 minutes in. I need like 150 of you to all listen in one minute incremental steps and then report back when you hear about his almost-mention of us :) http://v.giantbomb.com/podcast/Giant_Bombcast_08_26_2014-08-26-2014-4550906413.mp3
@snapster It's got to be around 140 or so, towards the end of the Amazon buys Twitch talk. Just listened to it on the way to work today.
@Kento Yikes you have a 3 hour commute? I do have to say this is a good podcast to be introduced to - I'm out of touch with most of these games.
@snapster It's about 20 minutes. I don't listen to it all in one go. :) I've been listening to those guys for years, and it's probably my favorite podcast, even outside of games.
@snapster games aren't even the best part of the podcast. The end of this one is great with a story about drunkenly ruining gifts that you bought your parents.
Ok - so @Kento is about right. Start at around 134 minutes.
Actually pretty impressed by their knowledge. Other than the complete facepalm that they can't remember our site name. ha!
edit: 1:34:50 (94 minutes) thanks @jimmyd103
@snapster Not 134 minutes. I think you mean 1:34:50 (94 minutes)
Yup, Giant Bomb sent me here and the first thing I did was buy the 40 pack of batteries.
@fyreblazer and you didn't go VMP?? Always sign up for VMP on your first purchase instead of paying shipping. Then if you buy anything else for the next 30 days, shipping is free!
yep bombcast got me nostalgic for the good old days of woot.
@runtus_maximus second that. It took me back as Jeff and Brad waxed poetic about the "good ole days".
You can count me as another that ended up here because of it. I had heard of it when it was created and then promptly forgot about it but the bombcast piqued me enough to come and make an account
@BudgetPanties So we'll have to work on product to suit your budget better, but feel free to linger(ie.)
@snapster Well I am a fan of Lucky brand boxer briefs
Add me to the list. I only ended up here because of the Bombcast.
Now somebody should go over to the Bombcast and ask how many found it because of Meh.
Reciprocity.
Yep, was listening to the Giant Bombcast and heard it. I went to the Meh predecessor a few weeks ago and was wondering what happened to it. When I heard about this I immediately came here and was flooded with waves of nostalgia.
Heard about meh from the twit network podcast. I think it was Dick D mentioning it. Welcome back....now where is my back of meh?
All hail the Bombcast. The new Woot is most definitely Meh.
Bombcast brought me here.
Looks like the password is "Bombcast sent me." I wonder if there is a secret handshake?
Bombcast brought me. I kissed the boat on the old site, didn't want to mss out this time.
Same here. I am a little embarrassed I hadn't heard about it already. I wonder if those guys are how I originally found Woot all those years ago. It's entirely possible.
Came here because of the bombcast too. Definitely interested in an alternative to that other daily deals site
me me me!
Delivered by Giantbomb podcast. This looks sweet and reminds me of when I first stumbled on woot back in the day
Me too! Thanks, Brad.
Yeah, seriously, I'm here entirely because they brought it up. And I have to say, these meh guys are EEEVIIIIIL. They know EXACTLY how to say all the right things to make me wanna spend money.
Oh, new people!
yessir
The bombcast brought me here, now I have this site pinned to my phone's home screen.

@Snigs: At the top of the main forum page you can choose deals, polls, videos, or all threads.
I was listening to the bombcast and Brad didn't know the name of the new site, so I looked it up and made account asap. Thanks giantbomb.
The Bombcast brought me here. I remember the good old days of woot, and now that they're back (but here), my life is the richer for it.
I don't even know if these are forums. I just got linked here from the main page, so I don't know if this is like... a necro bump, BUT YOU LINKED ME SO IT'S YOUR OWN DAMNED FAULT.

@Xbob42 Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy your stay.
P.S. These are indeed forums, you are in them and you did necro the thread but that's totally k.
@Xbob42 mmm zombie thread
I learned of this through the bombcast as well.
me too! was a fan of woot but didn't know why it turned to shit lately until i heard the story on the bombcast
