Welcome to the Bomb, friend. We're a fun bunch, much smaller too. As always I like to extend an offer to watch some of my favourite content from the site, just to get you started off. I'll only post a couple videos so others can get in on this if they'd like to.
Wipe-out: The Game
And it was a toss up between Too Human and How to Build a Bomb, but I think Too Human gives you a really good feel for what this dumb website is about.
I came in here because threads with titles like this are usually shit shows and now I'm just sad. But wait! At least there are loads of good videos :D
EDIT: Nope, now I'm sad again, it appears the Rogue Warrior "Quick Quick Look" where it was just the swearing and nothing else has been removed. Fuck everything.
When I read the thread title I suddenly had a vision that none of us are actually real, and are instead just digital citizens in the run down hotel that is Giant Bomb.
Are we only allowed to visit one site? Gamespot has some pretty good stuff too.
I don't know how often you go on Gamespot but I've been going on there for I don't even know how many years man. The articles on that website have turned into garbage, they have a few good ones sometimes but for the most part they like to rehash the same articles in 4 different ways and they clickbait way too much, nothing wrong with some clickbaiting but not as much as they do. GS community isn't anything to get excited about either =P

I like some of the shows they have, I don't really read the articles.
Hi, how's it going? http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-warehouse-and-logistics-simulator/2300-8550/ ^ this is the kind of stuff we do over here. We're weird, but you're welcome.

The only content of theirs that I found offensive would be Feedbackula which just seemed to incite exactly the sort of behaviour you want to avoid on forums and comment sections.
Also I think The Gist is an entirely worthless feature that boils down to a half hearted top 5 list without any rhyme or reason. What is somewhat unfortunate is that Jess McDonell responded to some negative criticism by stating that she personally pitched idea for the show.
Danny's The Point continues to be well produced, informative and strangely down to earth. Even Giant Bomb videos, as relaxed as they are, don't have this homely feeling of just talking to one of your friends that Danny seems to so flawlessly get across.
Saying you "moved here" is like being in space and moving 20 feet to the left in order to get a different view of earth.
Seriously, it's the internet. You didn't "move" anywhere. Gamespot still exists and you can go there in micro seconds or seconds (depending on typing speed, internet speed and computer processing speed).
Anyway, welcome to the site. Number 1 rule you should follow is don't be a dick. It's all gravy after that. Now go watch some shows or listen to podcasts or whatever you want and enjoy yourself.

Well I figured I would run into at least one prick.
Lol hey chief, I'm well aware I didnt literally move anywhere and I realize that Gamespot still exists. You knew what I meant, yet you felt the need to be a jackass. How sad for you. You might want to practice your number one rule.
You made the right choice. Welcome and always follow rule number one. There are other rules on the site but the first one is the most important. That being said, enjoy your stay.
I hope you enjoy your stay. While I fully appreciate the people who say "start with the Endurance Run" I think you should familiarize yourself with this beautiful quicklook here.
