Giant Bomb & Cards Against Humanity Team Up

In case you missed it during our PAX Prime 2012 panel, we recently announced a loving, trust-based partnership with our friends behind the incredibly distasteful parlour game Cards Against Humanity, with a limited-edition Giant Bomb-themed expansion pack as the expected fruit of this eldritch coupling. For those not already familiar with Cards Against Humanity--either from its multiple Thursday Night Throwdown appearances or its generally increasing cultural profile--it's essentially Apples to Apples or Mad Libs, but calibrated with Swiss precision for a nuclear brinksmanship level of offensiveness. So, you know, right up our alley.

As with the core Cards Against Humanity experience, crowdsourcing ideas for new cards for our expansion pack is an important part of the process, which is where you come in. There's a special page already up at Cards Against Humanity Dot Com where you can submit your stupid ideas--ideas that we will, no doubt, mock derisively when the Giant Bomb and Cards Against Humanity staffs (staves?) meet up to decide which cards will make the cut.

Feel free to submit any of your favorite Giant Bomb references, or just whatever funny, absurd, random, offensive thing that springs to mind, though know that one of our main goals here is to make an expansion worthy of one of our favorite games that'll be fun to play, even for those who don't know why that deer is wearing a wrestling mask, and don't care. (Example: me!)

Either way, whoever wins, we lose.

That's insane.

Hope.

Maybe I should get this when it's out. I don't have a deck yet.

Floppy naturals

CAME ON MYSLF

I love how this is filed under Baditude, given the recent debate.

If this isn't in the deck, I'm gonna be really disappointed.

I sleep like a baby after bathing in a tub full of _______.

So, will this be available outside USA and Canada? I find it quite ridiculous that they wont let Amazon ship their cards anywhere else.

Why is this attached to Baditude ?

"The kind of boner you get while watching a Sim die."

Already thinking of some good (horrible) submissions. My only thing is I wish the submission page had a few more options like a checkbox to signify if you're writing a white or black card, do you write one card idea per submission, etc.

I'll try to not post stupid GiantBomb memes!

I'm assuming Patrick has biggest, blackest dick covered? Screw it I'm using it again.

Contributed with "Big ass ramp". don't know if it's funny or not just something half-related to giant bomb.

Should find some way to incorporate Big Jeffrey into this.

Peter Molyneux

Just submitted:

"The tired look on Jeff Gerstmann's face when asked how to get into video games journalism."

Secret Cave Hair

"Nothing is bigger than Patricks hair except ________"

Baditude.

"A goddamn Dachshund."

I'm really hoping that this won't be US-only.

Gaming for me is a religion and Haze is the shit.

Will Smith's Cum Face

Time to put my inhuman thinking cap on...

Will Smith's Cum Face

That card should just have that image -- no text.

"Naked cartoon pussy" must be a white card.

Not too sure about a black card. I really don't want to make it to "in-joke-y" because then no one but the community would "get" it.

"Seven Hundred and Seventy Five Million Dollars."

@sonicrift said:

Will Smith's Cum Face

This works on two levels. I love it.

"I'm __________, and that looks fucked up."

Here are the ones I just submitted

White Cards

- Never being able to look your dog in the eyes again.

- Lauging outside an orphanage

- Breaking into a zoo to steal a monkey

- Your right hand turning into a girl

- Throwing a bottle of piss at singers you don't like

Is "WUB WUB WUB" already a card? Because I just now took care of that.

Too bad that I can't get credited for all of my unspeakably genius submissions. ;_;

When you submit stuff, does the page just reset for anyone else? Am I supposed to get some kind of "way to go, you submitted stuff" page or is it working as intended?

I contributed with "beating 100%" and "Jurassic Park dubstep". I'll have to listen to more bombcasts to get more ideas, haha.

NOTHING STOPS THE GAME ROOM QUICK LOOK. Well, nothing except for _________

That's what happens for me too, seems to be as designed.

I can't wait to watch the video content of the GB / Cards guys debating and choosing the submissions.

Black card ideas:

• "It sucks when you look in the fridge, and all you have to eat is..."
• "Instead of organised religion, I live my life according to the teachings of..."
• "You can take the ____ out of _____, but you can't take the (second blank) out of (first blank)."
• "I almost dropped out of college to pursue a career in..."
• "I can't help but think about ____ while having a conversation with ______"
• "The first time I saw two men making out, my first instinct was to..."

White card ideas:

• Giving over to the dark side.
• An unnecessary hemorrhage.
• Forgetting to bring your phone to the bathroom when you poop.
• Defying the laws of physics.
• George Brett's pine tar bat.
• The swollen breasts of a woman pregnant with quintuplets.
• A white man trying to dance.
• Sleep apnea.
• Trying to find a good pizza place at 3am.
• The Rape of Nanjing
• A vagina with teeth.
• Mastication.
• Female circumcision.
• Flipping off a bus full of disabled children because it cut you off.
• The euthanasia debate.
• Beating an autistic child at his own game.
• MC Hammer
• Realising that you're outnumbered by people of the opposite race.
• The Jewish Diaspora.
• A woman's gay friend.

EDIT: Didn't read the whole post, if I had I'd know that this isn't the place to submit ideas. But here's what I came up with, if you think there are any winners in there let me know and I'll submit the best ones.

I still need to buy Cards Against Humanity. It's always out of stock /sadface

@Deadmanforking:

Ryan and I at Pax 2012. Sporting my Cards Against Humanity contest shirt.

I want to apologize in advance for the numerous card ideas regarding the ER:P4 I will no doubt send in the near future.

Here's hoping the community can come up with something better than what Ryan had on last weeks Bombcast!

works better as a black card really

Do I post multiple in one submission? Or do I make a submission for every single idea?

"Why is that deer wearing a wrestling mask?" would be a pretty funny black card, FYI.

I love everything about this stupid goddamn website and what stupidity it makes possible. CAH IDEAS SUBMITTED

I did the necessary submissions of "Face and Neck Stabbings", "Mysterious Fox", "Peter Molyneux", "Peter Molyneux's Balls", and "Unconditional Love". Low-hanging fruit, mostly, but they needed to at least be on the list.
