Alright duders - so if you haven't already noticed, we just finished up pushing the new forum code out this afternoon. Big ups to Andy (the Man-dy) for speeding up the migration script. This enabled us to go ahead and make the push this afternoon instead of later this evening (cause we have a hot review coming at ya that we didn't want held up).

Anyway, we've received a lot of feedback from you guys regarding bugs (and we've squashed almost all of them - i'm working on a few more right now), but the feedback has been mostly positive. Our hope is that it brings the overall readership of your blogs up - so we can start more interesting discussions around stuff that's important to you guys.

Do whichever one I demand more.

We're also fixing some bugs mostly related to moderating these which will be going out shortly.

Hmm, somehow I'm tempted to say achievements system first, however, the Groups/Battles System sounds pretty good.

Hmm...I'll go with achievements for now, as it seems like it'll take a while to get sorted out. Might as well get the big stuff out of the way first, eh?

I would like to see achievements. But i don't understand the Groups/Battle System, how does that work?

i think you guys should go with the achievment system although most sites that do it sorta half ass it and it just ends up being lame.

i think the key is to have a reward system set up to compliment the achievment system.

"I would like to see achievements. But i don't understand the Groups/Battle System, how does that work?"

This is a bit of a cop out answer, but both ideas sound really interesting.

Achievements because they'll be fun for me in the beginning and then I'll stop after a week like I always do.

Andy, shooting away his problems...

Check out Comic Vine or Political Base. I imagine it's going to work similar to the battle system on those sites."

You know what I think Coonce. And my offer of stolen babies still stands.

Group/Battle Section? Are we gonna have Giant Bomb Rumbles?!
Cause that absolutely needs to happen. If Giant Bomb could some how facilitate some kind of West-Side-Story-But- Video Games Battle System....I think I would stop visiting other websites. I would just refresh Giant Bomb over and over again!

I'm so going crazy right now hearing about the group battle system... that's crazy awesome.

But still work on achievement things first please :).

Wait... achievements with rewards? OK, it's a hell yes for achievements from me! :D

Wow, yeah the blog thing is annoying.

I'd like to see both an achievement system and a battles system. I dunno which I want first. Both sound cool. Either way, the new blog posts this is awesome. Keep up the good work guys.

I really want to see a "screenshots" and a "concept art" standard in each new character and location part, adding them manually is a pain and you cant link a image to a character/location page unless it has galleries in it.

I say Achievements first!

Keep up the great work!

I want the achievement system first. That kind of thing is always really fun to do.

Awesome job guys, GB just keeps gettin better...
