Sorry to anyone has tried to join GiantBombEast, since you'll have probably noticed by now that it doesn't currently exist. Sorry! Once whatever server weirdness Ubisoft was having passed, I saw that in reality there were many, many slots open in the regular GiantBomb club, sent in an application, and promptly forgot about posting anything about this GiantBombEast business. Anyway, seems like the regular GiantBomb club is full now... If someone wants to start up a new GiantBombEast club, I think that would probably be a fine idea (may I suggest DUDR as the tag?) but it should probably be someone less flakey than me.

I'm getting the sense that Ubisoft's servers are suffering from some launch window weirdness, but just in case the GiantBomb club is actually filled up (seems quite possible, as club memberships cap off at fifty) I've thrown up a club for east coast duders, which you can find by searching for 'GiantBombEast'

I promise to keep an eye on applications and whatevs, but I'm not really sure what running a club entails exactly... Let's find out together!

I just want to add my voice to the many saying you should play Mother 3 as well. I just played through it a second time (thanks to the fantastic fan made translation rom-hack floating around) and was surprised how favorably it compares to its predecessor. In a lot of ways it's a weirder beast than Earthbound, but one that is equally rewarding.

Anyone else out there following the development of the better-looking-than-it-should-be fan made Mother 4, by the way?

Hey there, fellow Giant Bomb Sound Shapes fans! I just finished my first *real* level, called "One Gray Hair." (I originally published a shorter version consisting of only the first three and final two screens called "No rest for the wicked," but I changed the title of the finished version once one of my friends rightly pointed out that's the title of an Ozzy song.) I'm pretty excited to share it with you, and also excited to check out the other awesome levels made by the community. (Thanks @Redbullet685 for assembling this handy-dandy table.)

My PSN Username is DWHulford, and here's a link to my level's page on the Sound Shapes website: http://www.soundshapesgame.com/level/oaSRCeWv

I'm telling them the truth: Santa Claus was killed by the Soviets in the 80's.

On a more serious note, Greek Yogurt. I'm telling you this as a person who detests regular yogurt, by the way, but Greek Yogurt is like sour cream that's socially acceptable to eat by itself. Yum.

Cigarettes. Does a body good.

Heh, oh yeah.

You were a Nintendo kid growing up. Your first console was an SNES. You like survival horror games but have grown tired of how they were made in the past (you know, the old RE games). You have a Steam account but only play it for the big PC games. You enjoy a good story in a game and would likely play a game that was mediocre gameplay-wise if the story was good enough.

Pretty darned close. I use Steam for a lot of smaller indy games too (I've been playing the shit out of some Binding of Isaac lately), but otherwise spot on. Good work.
