New User Saying Hi!

Hey all, heard about this site from my teacher. I'm really digging all the love for user reviews and the wide range of awesome topics I've been secretly lurking in. Thank you so much Community Spotlight / Hamst3r for Kick Dudes in the Dick xD

So, as customary from the codex that should exist for newbies, I've written an article. I hope you'll take a chance to read it and let me know what you think, community feedback is always loved :D

Now, no more procrastinating.. I have so much homework x_x; Anyone else going through the Final's Grind?

Congratulations!

YOU ARE NOT PREPAAAAAAAARED

Enjoy becoming and being a duder! And yes, finals are next week for me :\

Since this is technically my last semester, I'm not really doing "finals" so much more as I'm writing roughly 20k words in 2 days, among several powerpoint slides. I'm writing a paper on Anonymous / 4Chan and how it will / has affect(ed) communications in mass media and public policy / legislation. Sooo.. laptop, comfortable chair, Fruit Punch Arizona tea, music, and occaisonally Tumblr.

I'm doomed. Hahaha

Hello and welcome!

Nice review. Welcome to Giant Bomb.

Thanks! :)

Nice writing mate!

Have fun

Welcome to the site.

Hey there, Stranger! Have fun but don't be a dick.

Welcome to the site, duder <3

Cheers :)

So what's everyone up too? I'm half-way done with my research paper and about to start lurking for a minute to unplug before finishing up.

Yo!
 
No finals for me, just lots of work.
Gotta get a buffer regarding work so I can safely play SWTOR when it comes out.

Hello and enoy your stay! ^^

Welcome to Giant Bomb duder!

Thanks guys!

P.S. I can't see what the appeal of SWTOR is. I'm admitaddly ignorant as all hell of it, but being a big fan of proper Star Wars (as in the Clone Wars animations arent what comes to mind when I think "Star Wars" and episodes 1 / 2 / 3 sucked balls compared to 4 / 5 / 6), I'm pretty curious. Maybe when I have more time, I'll look into it.

I'm personally excited for Guild Wars 2. It's still just a bunch of example vid's and information pages, but tanking looks like a ton of fun. Since they've supposedly done away with their instanced mantra, which always disconnected me from the rest of the GW community in the first game, GW2 may become my new MMO.

P.S. - MB has just informed me that my first article is now a featured user article! So glad my college education is finally getting validated outside of college xD I can't wait to get into the several topics I've been thinking about for weeks now. Is there a page that'll show my articled under some kind of "featured" banner or something like that? I noticed it didn't show up on the community site. I wrote the article originally as an assignment for my teacher, so I'd love to show her that. Easy A, anyone? Haha

Man, you must have the coolest teacher on the planet if they'll recommend video game websites to you.

She's teaching the history of video games. We've covered everything from table-top games circa .. something B.C. to the Commodore 64, the NeoGeo, everything in between, and recent stuff. I think the owner of this site is going to be skyping with my class tomorrow about gaming journalism, actually. Definitely gonna be there / looking forward to it.

Welcome to Giant Bomb, good buddy! I'm also going through finals. In fact, I'm about to write my last exam in 20 minutes. Let me introduce you to some features of the site. There's the Endurance Run (currently, two of the staff are playing through Chrono Trigger on the SNES) and one of my favourite quicklooks. Enjoy!

Welcome to Giant Bomb. You're going to love it here!

Welcome duder! Hope you fit in just fine!

Awesome, can't wait to check these out. I've somehow managed to dish out 2k words in 2 hours about 4chan, Anonymous, their activities, SOPA, the Protect IP Act, and how all of this could feasibly affect our uses of the internet and how hacktvism may rebound in a serious way in the U.S.

Think I should publish it here? I'm not sure if this is the right place for research papers, but it's still interesting stuff.

e/ .. wait, that's what a blog's for. Stay tuned for college stuff later today!

Welcome to GB duder! You've shown you can write a good review, and I look forward to reading your blog post about hacktvism aso. I'm glad to see that you signed up for a premium membership already, you won't regret it. Enjoy the Endurance Run videos of old (Persona 4), and all the other great content GB as provided over the years.

I've been diligently looking for a new forum to frequent, and this one seems shockingly absent of trolls and douchebags. My teacher is also good people and I'll trust any endorsement she gives. I did really enjoy that I could donate my voucher coupon to Child Gaming, and given how hard it is for websites to support themselves without sixfuckingbillion ads everywhere, it was totally worth the money. Glad to help!

Final grind. Much pain. Much suffering

Also, Laz0r.

Welcome to GB!

@Thatamos: If it's interesting stuff, I'm sure there are a lot of us who would like to read it. Also, did you mention that Jeff was going to speak to your class tomorrow? That's pretty cool.

Finals suck. College sucks.

You left your window open by the way. I helped myself to some left overs and played some Witcher 2.

I also urinated on your cat. He was totally asking for it.

I'll be sure to put the finalized version on my blog either tonight or .. late tonight then. And from what I understand, through the miracles of technomagic, Jeff will be speaking to my class about gaming journalism either tomorrow or Thursday. Definitely excited for it!

Welcome. I see that you're a premium member, making you better than a number of other people on here!

(hopefully you freeloaders know I'm just kiddin <3)

The only game you own is Infinity Blade II? (According to your profile).
