While MB is writing the more professional version of this, I'd like people to be reminded of GiantBomb's golden rule:


No Caption Provided
  • Satirical threads are allowed and much appreciated if they are in good taste.
  • GiantBomb is a chilled environment - don't be a dick, for the sake of being a dick.
  • Swearing is allowed, but do not abuse your right.


And don't forget GiantBombs other golden rule:

Watch out for that ramp!

MB's more thorough version should be stickied soon!

Well, then I won't be surprised if I get one of those "B.B. is Watching You" messages soon.

Also a +1 if anyone get's the reference.

Giant Bomb has always been at war with Eurasia.


ALTERNATE RESPONSE: truth be told, I think Dr_Cash might be Emmanuel Goldstein.

It's actually Eastasia. Remember, they changed their alliance near the end.

I consistently love your responses. 

Also, I curse almost every time I post.  It's counter-balanced by my impeccable grammar, however.  Haha.

My dad died from a severe ramp incident, so I can personally attest to the second golden rule. As a result, I have created an organization named Big Ass Ramp Awareness, or BARA for short. We spread the message to be alert and ready in the presence of Big Ass Ramps. 50Cent has been a huge contributor for the cause.

For more information please pm me or dial 1-800-555-BARA.
BARA thanks you for your contribution, and remember, watch out for those Big Ass ramps, yo.

The Giantbomb golden rule is:If you don't share the opinion of the masses,then get out.

It's bullshit I know.

I like Jeffs style.

The combination of a hoody with a gentlemens waistcoat gives him a gangsto-stylish fusion.

    That is some sleek garb Jeff is wearing there. And I definitely agree with your message: don't be a dick and just use common sense. That will take you a long way on the internet.

    Great post.

    Great post LiquidPrince and much appreciated. ::Thumbs Up::

    If I may add something:
    Most gaming websites out there rely on staff-generated content. Not so with Giant Bomb. Here, a lot of the content is user-generated: from the wiki-like database to the individual profiles. As such, the forums and blogs are all the more important to the mechanics of the website itself. If users cannot learn to show respect and open-mindedness toward their fellow users comments and opinions, then the raison d'être of the 'Bomb itself becomes questionable. And I'm pretty damn sure that no one working on this website, from the conscientious users, to the moderators, to the administrators wants that.

    This place is about something else than the other gaming websites around: a place where the users can partake to the going ons and the happenings, not just stand around idly for so-called fresh new content to be thrown in their faces. And that's a good thing. So let's try to preserve it.
