I never got a chance to submit anything last year as I had just started a full time job and was finishing up college ~_~

I have a cool / bad Simulator style game idea, a Monster Strike style game and a local multiplayer style game. Need to flesh them out, see what's doable in the time frame (still have work) and then what would match the theme the most.

Is there a collection / repo of the Giant Bomb duders just saying... stuff. Like a soundboard type thing? Would be cool to start building one for this and future Giant ROMs.

Anywho, I can offer backend / leaderboard services if people find a need for them. I've been working for GameSparks for over a year now and can offer use of the platform for free for the Game Jam =D It's pretty easy to get the leaderboard stuff working and if you wanted to do some asynchronous multiplayer stuff it's pretty easy to do! Give me a shout if you're interested and I'll help whatever way I can.

Much more mechanical in design than my previous levels, using some tricks from the streams and levels I've played so far, so might be very easy if you watch the guys, but I built it to try and tutorialize people to catch on =)

I picked up a PS4 and The Taken King last Friday and I've loved every minute of it so far. It took me a few minutes to realise when I had actually finished the story though, up until TTK the story elements are pretty light. I eventually beat all the original single player stuff, Dark Below, House of Wolves and just finished the main Taken King stuff and a ton more quests have opened up.

But yeah I'm level 40, 288 light in under a week, I work full time but I've had a two weekends of not much going on to reach that point. I only started playing with other people a couple of nights ago and to be frank, the coop stuff just feels like more story, you just have a couple of silent people join you if you go for strike matchmaking and it seems really hard to grief other players in the coop stuff.

I'm loving the crucible, it's no where near as bad as Jeff makes it out to be. I've had 0 children yelling at me (quite the nice change from my Halo outings). It sucks there's no matchmaking for the coop stuff but if you make a party in the Giant Bomb Community on PS4 people will play.

Jeff gives off a lot of negativity about Destiny, which really put me off the game for a long time, but considering how much he plays it I think he just doesn't like that he likes the game.

But yeah I'm level 40, 246 light and I only started doing strikes with other people last night. I even like the PVP for the most part. I was pretty big into Halo up until Reach and this feels like a natural progression in terms of how the shooting feels/

I actually found this much easier (still a good number of tries) in the Extreme Version. If you can research the Brennan Anti Material Sniper it absolutely obliterates them if you can get a headshot. Sit on the roof of the hanger like others suggest and just keep an eye and ear our for the Rock Mine things

Has anyone managed to get a clean rip of the "MSX" tape and tried to make an image from it? Would it work/do something?
