[I edited the title to be less broad, even though a lot of my thoughts apply to more than this past weeks QOTW.] 
 
The initial reason I came to Giant Bomb and took part in the beta for the site was because of Jeff. Sense then, the site has become my favorite game related website on the net. The quick looks, reviews, and the podcasts are great. It was not until recently, however, that I really started to take an interest in the Giant Bomb community as a whole. I started doing a few edits in databases and commenting in forums and on posts more. There are a lot of great people on this site. 
 
 With my new interest in the community, I began taking closer looks at the QOTW, which I used to just pass on. While I do not like some of the featured videos in the QOTWs, I have always respected the fact that a person or persons took the time to make the videos. I never planned on doing my own video, but this past weeks QOTW of making a scene inspired by Dragon Age to win a GB hoodie tipped me into the creative arena.  I contacted my friend and community member, McRibs, and-with very little effort-convinced him to make a Dragon Age video with me. 
 
I first watched the I Love Monday video on Tuesday, and that is the same day we decided we would make a video. However, the only free night we had to make it was that very same night. That left us with very little time to plan everything out and for me to get "permission" from my wife. The wife part was no problem; it gave her a night off from me and a chance to wrap up Bioshock without me backseat driving her through it. Then McRibs and I set about writing and planning the video. It all came together pretty well and we worked through until early morning. McRibs then masterfully added all of our special effects and balanced colors and sound. The video took us from Tuesday night to Thursday morning. We put a lot of time and effort into that video, as I am sure the other entrants did. Ultimately, our work paid off because we were featured. Here is our video: 
 
  

That is one rad looking statue, but if I win, can I get a signed picture of Vinny throwin' up the horns?

I really would like to say I was looking forward to this game, but C&C kind of lost me a long while back. The screen shots do look nice though.  Thanks for the write up, Jeff.

I think I will hunt down the deluxe edition. I went to several stores in my area today and could not find this game. Everyone is sold out, but I am sure the internet can help me out.

@raddevon I took the plunge last night on STALKER and Saints Row 2. STALKER was a no brainer, but like you, I had trouble with the decision on SR2. Anyways, I have a quad core, so I will update how it runs with that.

I love Fallout; I love aliens; I love Giant Bomb. This can not go wrong!

I have been sitting on some points for Shadow Complex, but should I go ahead and just jump on this game? it looks like a lot of fun, and it sounds like you peeps are enjoying it.

I find my dislike of Mr. Cage unexplainable. However, this dislike does not come affect my enjoyment of Raising Arizona; in fact, I love him in that film. Odd. Very odd.

It seems like everyone has added a lot of change already, totalling at almost $27 dollars in pennies so far!

Anyways, winning one of these code would be nice because I remember playing the heck out of the original game and would love to give this one a shot.

Gamerage is what I have called it before. I have thrown my controller a few times in my life (three I think). However, I have only ever broken one. I broke a PS2 controller while playing FFX trying to get 0.00 seconds on the chocobo race. It was dumn, and I regretted having to buy a new controller; it worked out though because I got the time when I returned home with the new one. Either way, when I fell gamerage coming out I general walk away and do something else for a bit.
