Marketing Man Daniel is working with design master TurboToaster to make a new poster and is teasing the idea of a Whiskey media hoodie. The GameCube is now over ten years old, and to commemorate this anniversary there is a slew of Wiki Tasks for GameCube games that deserve better Wikis on Giant Bomb's database. Finally as always remember to check out the Giant Bomb YouTube Page as well as the Bomb Shelter for all of the best of the best of Giant Bomb.

Spotlighting is illegal where I live. Good thing I never do anything substantial to get in.

Good work.

As always, thanks for the mention. Still stand by my claim that everyone should play To the Moon

Awesome job as always.

Yay, my blog made it in. I was afraid it wouldn't, being only a little before the TNT. Ah well. Good enough, I suppose.

Those lists were supposed to last, ZP. Oh well. I'll have something for next week. Maybe the Chrono Trigger ER will continue to provide inspiration.

According to MB, my article on Infinity Blade 2 is now a featured article, and is slowly gaining more positive endorsements than .. not positive endorsements. BECAUSE NEGATIVE IS LAME. >=D

And it accuses me of typing in gibberish!

My bad on that. I forgot that copying and pasting hyperlinks still can't be done on the site.

This week's list is another soapboxy railing against something I don't like; this time it's over-used sub-titles in game titles. Slow-moving targets, that's what I like.

Turns out the meme ship had sailed on a list of video game careers that could possibly be curtailed with an archery mishap.
