Sunday Bomb Drop?

Welcome back to the Friday Bomb Drop (now with added Sunday), this time written lovingly by SuperMooseman. Don't forget to check out this forum thread if you are interested in mashing away at the keyboard to produce one yourself. Although game releases have not taken full swing yet, the Giant Bomb team put out three great reviews, produced a podcast in their new spaceship recording room and still managed to put out some new video content.

"But SuperMooseman," I hear you cry into the abyss of your computer screen "surely the community is still a threat?". I invite you to light the log fire, wrap up warm and grab a Fanta Fruit Twist as you read over the following list which maybe - just maybe - proves how wrong you are.

According to fictional quotes, the Community is Still a Threat

• If you're looking to compete in cleverly named Smash Bros. tournaments, Endogene has your back covered with his second Bomb-Omb championship.
• Bomb Should Have a Face podcast features some very special guests to reveal exclusive information about some new updates coming to a certain website near you soon.
• ...and then Sweep provides you with the screenshots to prove it.
• The community is in hot debate about what the up-coming Giant Bomb achievement/trophy/Moosemedals should be called.
• Cheeky boy Bodega tells us how Pokemon is perhaps the most important RPG of all time.
• If you don't have a PS3 to play the Giant Bomb-themed LBP level that Shadow made, then check mubress' quality videos of it instead.
• Are you a sinner or a saint? Let dankempster tell all on two games he's being playing recently.
• Fallout 3 was recently upgraded with some DLC, and so RelentlessKnight gives his view on it.
• StaticFalconar hands out some juicy generic fighting game tips in his new guide.
• Oh, and the community thread has had a make-over. It's got nothing on this news post. Right?

There's a community podcast?

So this is a review from what GiantBomb did last week?

Surely I'm not the only one lost on the bomb drops.

Yeah this is a wrap-up of what happened on giant bomb in the past week. Now stop complaining and enjoy.

i dun get it

I just assumed SuperMooseman was too busy making images for Kevin VanOrd...

Anyway, nice Bomb Drop Moosey. :) Any word on who's handling the next one?

The bomb has been DROPPED.

Thankya Moosey =D

What the heck is Bomb Should Have A Face? It seems to get mentioned in every one of these stories but I don't think I've ever seen it explained.  And what is with the "community is still a threat" meme?

Fantastic work Moose.

Go moosey!!

Moosemedals, eh?  You and Luchadeer shall have an epic battle over that one, sir.

I thought I smelled moose droppings.

this is what should be emailed.

as opposed to the current email updates.

Where the little camera by the Skate 2 review?

Cheers Moose!

Certainly agree with Rowr, this would be a great email update.

Good weekly wrap-up there, good work :D

Well-written and funny Bomb Drop, thanks :).

I'm in ur bomb drop, touching ur... droppings?

You're not, DavidSnakes.

Hey, I was hoping for a weekend update (not the SNL kind, necessarily).  It's like the internet is stealing my thoughts!  Again!

Nice one moose. And this reminds me, I haven't arranged someone to do next weeks yet, I'll just run off the the bomb drop thread and get that done (after lunch, I'm hungry).

I am mentioned!

*swells with pride*

Great Bomb Drop SuperMooseman. It's always nice to see what the community's been up to.

Excellent write up, Moose. I love these bomb drops and I am excited when I get to do it! *giddy inside*

Moose, you dropped it.

goodie
