I was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning, like I do every morning and toward the end of the article I seen a familiar name. So if you read this article you can see for yourself.

I just want to say congrats to Giant bomb for taking it to the extreme and using interns and users to build your site.

That is awesome. We have evolved from information on rape simulations to being featured in business newspapers. Everyone, give yourself a pat on the back!

Dude, that's awesome. Apparently back in November Giant Bomb was on a Rock Band 2 ad, posted in Time Square (NYC.) Blizzard also posted Giant Bomb's review of Wrath of the Lich King on the front page of the WoW official website.

A plug inside the Wall Street Journal is leagues better and more prestigious. And I never knew GB was getting 80,000 hits a day! Great find, TC. This is really good news!

They were mentioned not that long ago in relevance to a hentai-themed rape game, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps rape isn't the best way to get your name out there, but it is technically free-commercial advertising.

Oh...Well, er...maybe they should pay that mother of octuplets to name one of her babies "GiantBomb." PUBLICITY IS PUBLIC AND MONEY CASH, AMIRITE OR AMIRITE?!

Perhaps MobyGames doesn't get as much recognition because they didn't have any popular dudes from a popular website head up their own? If I'm not mistaken, the owners of MobyGames started it right out of high school.

I wonder how many unique visitors they get daily, because I don't think all of that is unique ones.

:-) Perhaps it's not a small web site since I was under the impression, that the amount of visitors defines if a web site is large or not.

Pretty awesome isn't it? I think everyone can pat themselves on the back, sleep with a smile in the knowledge that we all helped make this place what it is. Obviously more credit goes toward the Staff for actually thinking up and building the site. But the community has helped keep it alive, congratulations to everyone.

80,000 hits a day is some astounding traffic.
