I was bored during the non-LoL rektreational matches. For your consideration:

:tp

:mango

:tango

:branch

@chrisharris: If they get added to the GB chat I will add them here. But I hope that never happens. Not because the emoticons are bad, but because it's DotA. :V

Now if that :mango and :tango were more like this...

Does this mean anything to you?

Updated the list. Might change again soon because we don't have @fisk0's avatar yet.

oh so thats how you do it

WE NEED THE BENZ!

What do you guys think of austin's rave moves getting an emote?

Credit must be given to cute hoot/bootydaddy's tumblr for the original gif because I couldn't find the original video. I think it was edited out of the Fog of Warhammer livestream for the archive.

I think that looks great. :rave should be the name for it.

New emoticons have been added. Waiting for @finaldasa to add them to the thread.

Congrats to @chrisharris and bootydaddy.

so people stop asking in chat "plur" is the austin rave emote.

Yeah, what the hell does "plur" mean?

@kasaioni: had to look it up. It means. Peace Love Unity Respect.

I've never understood why this guide exists. It should be part of the chat. You wouldn't get people doing this:

@dg_nick: that's very true. It should be a tab under "polls" that reads "emotes", but i'm not sure how hard that would be to code. @edgework ?

@monkeyman04: @dg_nick: I think some of the staff generally doesn't want everyone to know all the codes as soon as they are added. Encouraging the sense of discovery and achievement among the people who do.

I myself am more in favour of democratizing the knowledge, which is why I've been maintaining this thread.

I guess. Personally, it's annoying to have to come here to see what the emotes are. If it's all about discovery or whatever, then just at least list all the basic ones somewhere on the chat.

Updating to reflect Edgework's name change.

Patdango from PAXAMANIA. Because we need Patdango.

@justaconspiracy: Could it be redone with the edge at the bottom taken out/camera being raised a bit?

For a long time I thought <> was just a clap emote

:blink has been added

:danscanlon has been added

Revelatory information. Thanks chat.

:blink and :danscanlon have been turned into the same emoticon.

Post #7777 - All Lucky 7s!

... So can someone explain the <> thing?

@rubberchicken:

From:http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/sparky_buzzsaw/lists/the-giant-big-giant-bomb-meme-list-of-lists-of-his/353537/

The Sims 3 A lot of magic is made in the E3 nightly podcasts. I mean, a lot. It's a magical time of year, when everyone's tired and raw, and everyone seems to be full-on loopy. In other words, it makes for Giant Bomb historical gold.

The <> thing stemmed from the following E3 moment, which in itself stemmed from a bizarre EA PR idea. One of their little E3 moments had people coming out of their booth/presentation area with the classic Sims diamonds over their head, an obnoxiously stupid idea that the GIant Bomb crew capitalized on. Why or how they picked this moment, we're not sure of. But it happened, it's funny, and it's worth a watch.

<> has since become the symbol for "bye" at the end of livestreams.

@hassun

For clarity, can you combine :blink and :danscanlon into a single row, similar to how you have :dota and :goty?

Also, you don't have :plur in your full list.

Thanks for your years-long effort in compiling and maintaining this list!

I have another proposal which is more than a bit late...

:inca -

Edit:

Please add :plur to this guide.

what is the Mary Kish emote?

@storka

:kishup

@tr0n: @calvinball: They were actually in the main pag 1 list but I found out a while ago an error had crept into the updates which resulted in an incomplete list. It should be good now though.

@chrisharris: Very good!

.

:ben has been added

It doesn't look very clean though. I'll try to clean it up a bit.

I am still looking for better emoticons for Abby and Ben.

If someone, anybody, out there could get that Giant Bomb Discord emoticon for :dabby in here, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you.

@hassun: Had a go at cleaning up Ben's emote:

@beachthunder: Gave it a try myself as well,

But then we could also use the one made by @alfff from the GB unofficial discord.

I am also still looking for a good Jeff Bakalar emoticon.

.

:dabby added

:ben updated

Cool, I just came to this page for the first time.

It's cool that its being super updated. It's not even 6/15, yet.

lol.

I think this face that JV made last night should be a one. Don't know if it works small, but I love the expression on his face.

:spicy as been added.

:vrooom has been changed to :vroom and has been added as :forthekids

May I suggest this Jan-thumbs-gif , to welcome the new producer.

It might be a little dirty in context, but Abby's transition from elation to angry confusion on the "cloacal kiss" is the best gif material of 2017.

@mythdark: It's a bit dark/hard to see and of course we already have a thumbs up emoticon as well.

@matthewgm: If you don't have the emoticon ready, please add a link to the video + timestamp of the moment you want to capture.

Applied some brightness to it.

Pff, as if you could have too many thumbs up. ;)

But I get it, though. Jan deserves his own thing.

@mythdark: Not bad! But perhaps will have to wait for a bit more footage of him to get more material.
