The GiantBomb 360 Community Gamertag - General Discussion

#1 Edited by believer258 (8156 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago

Yesterday evening I created this thread to look for support for a GiantBomb 360 community hub, hopefully to create one similar to the PC Gaming hub. I didn't quite garner a ton of support but a decent number of people did approve and so I created a sort of precursor to this before I can put my full energies into. I created a gamertag called "GiantBomb360" through which people can look into and join current games.

I'm creating this thread simply as a newscast to tell the 360 owners of Giant Bomb that this exists. Come on, join up, and play some games with each other!

Just incase you missed it, the name of the gamertag is

GiantBomb360

EDIT: Mods, could one of you put this into the 360 forum? I didn't mean to leave it in General Discussion.

Please respond to this thread if you decide to send a friend request. Some people have sent one but in order for this to be successful it must be near the top.

@believer258: I read your other thread but I don't exactly understand how these community tags work? Could you explain that to me cause I joined one for SSX but then I never saw anything happen with it so I just added a bunch of GB dooders instead.

No, it doesn't actually have anything to do with Giantbomb other than people from Giantbomb playing together. The idea is that you send an Xbox 360 friend request to GiantBomb360, and a bunch of other people do the same. I can accept them all, and then voila! GB members who play on Xbox Live can easily see other GB members who play on Live through that gamertag, "gamertag" here being Microsoft's term for "username".

I'm hoping to gather a bunch of Giantbomb guys who just want to play 360 games together, like the PC gaming hub is for PC duders.

That's an all right way of getting around the fact that Live pales in comparison to Steam. I wish you all the best.

Let's keep it fresh.

All right! More people have joined. Seven, now. Which still isn't much, so come on, join!

All right, this is plain and simple a bump to see if anyone else will join in. Eight people thus far. Come on, it isn't much work and if you don't like it you can leave. I'd really love to have a good 360 gaming group going here, think of how great it could be!

I actually meant for people to send friend requests to the GiantBomb360 profile because keeping up with sending requests to everyone could be difficult, but OK.

Just so that duders can easily invite other duders to games without having to come here and start up a thread and all of that. Later (i.e. next Friday) I hope to integrate it into a gaming community similar to what AhmadMetallic has done for the PC community.
