Hey, Me! Welcome to Giant Bomb!

I'm a long-time gamer, and I've always enjoyed talking about (and criticizing) games.  After years of boring the hell out of my non-gamer friends and family, I finally decided I would man up and start contributing online.  Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, because apparently there are a ton of gaming sites out there.  After shopping around a bit, it looked like this place and Destructoid were the most fun and laid back.  I really liked the vibe at Destructoid and the community seemed really nice, but the site definitely had some technical issues.  Giant Bomb seems to have a similar vibe, but I like the site a lot better, so I'm going to try to make my home here.
 
So, if you're reading this, check out my first contribution!  It's a review of Fable III.  Also, as a noob, I welcome any suggestions of how to best contribute here at GB.

Hope you have fun and hang out on these forums more than I do. People have good opinions on video games around here. 

As long as it's game-related it's fine.

welcome duder, start listening to podcast and videos. good blog on this, it's not spam. dont' be a fag and put blogs where they aren't suppose to be. like saying how *insert game here* is an awesome game in off topic. don't put a blog that is just one sentence blogs. pretty much it and this is a nice laid back place.

Welcome. You won't regret it. GiantBomb has top notch reviews, stellar podcast, amazing video features, amazing staff and users. As you may noticed GiantBomb is a wiki as well, so you can contribute in pretty much every way. Feel free to ask any questions and doubts you may have. I suggest also to take a look at other Whiskey Media websites. We're all a big family. And if you enjoy what you see, why not become a subscriber? ;)
 
Enjoy your time here with us. 
 
And ha . . . hey, Quests. They're awesome.

Sometimes things going nasty in a welcoming thread is a good thing! gives the new guys a chance to see what they need to avoid 'Being a raymayne' etc.  
(coincidentally i support the coinage of that phrase) 
 
And yeah it might seem dumb to hand hold him through all the content of the site, but hey its a big site with a lot to see , a lot to do, and a lot of ways to contribute!  
It's why we are all here. 
 
Welcome to the site duder, and feel free to ask anyone for any help or any questions you may have! 
 Go review some more games! read other peoples reviews! Dig out your game collection and look for missing entries in games and concept databases!  
or Just make a big list containing Characters with big breasts 
 
Either way, enjoy yourself! spread into the forums get some commentary up and have fun!

Welcome to Giant Bomb! Great review, I really like your writing style. It's quite humourous. If you're looking to spend some time getting to know how to use the site, allow me to direct you to the Quest feature.  
 
Also give our charmingly garrulous podcast a go.  
 
On Thursday's Giant Bomb hosts a community game night featuring the latest and hottest games. It's called TNT (Thursday Night Throwdown) and you can always expect shenanigans. Here's the user created archive of TNT videos of the past. Enjoy!
