Hey! Yeah, I've had depression, OCD and anxiety for most of my life, and posts like this are a fantastic way for people with similar issues to come together and feel comfort, so thanks. I have never had therapy nor taken any medication, and as I am a professional actor, my doctor always advised against medication due to the potential to damage or dull my personality and creative side. Who knows...

However, recently my anxiety and OCD (typically what some would call Pure O or intrusive thoughts heightened by depression and anxiety) have got pretty bad, so am more and more keen to seek professional help. I find it very hard to talk about and there is a sense of embarrassment, but totally understand it's better to talk about it.

Giant Bomb has been a major factor in comfort and happiness, as have games. Currently playing Breath of the Wild and that is a fantastic place to get lost in! All the best to everyone on here.

Same with me for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Returned the next day after about 7 hours. Other than that, recently I have loved almost everything I have bought over the last year, and I am less inclined to give up on games as much as I used to. Mass Effect: Andromeda, well, that's a different story...

Jeez, erm, Bioshock: Infinite?

Congratulations guys!

Hi there. After hearing that great line from Brad in UPF last night, I was wondering what your favourite Giant Bomb quotes are over the years? Maybe we could post some of our favourite snippets, if you remember them or have written them down in the past.

Maybe this could spur on some T-Shirt development etc. and just thought it may be a bit of fun!

I thought the Sony Press Conference was fantastic. Just for kicks, in terms of it being a sequel to the fan fare conference of last year, they delivered in a concise yet quietly epic way. It almost had a dark feel to it, but I can't really put my finger on why right now... Maybe just the orchestral score and lack of human quality, people on stage dancing, making quips etc. It almost had a subtly arrogant feel to it, but not in a bad way.

God of War looked fantastic. Visually very beautiful. Have to say I haven't played a lot of the series, but I applaud the way the seem to be moving and the game looks to be very interesting, instead of just another God of War game with pretty graphics, but who knows. I jumped out of my seat when the whiff of Crash Bandicoot swept through the air, but then was a little sobered when they said they were remakes... but hey, I grew up with those games and seeing them with stellar graphics will be great. Kojima. Yes. Sure. Whatever you want, I'm in. Also his entrance was brilliant and silly in all the right ways. Horizon looks fantastic, Spiderman has great potential, a release date for The Last Guardian, man, I thought it was a very solid press conference, especially after the other ones this year left me feeling a little hollow. Oh and Resident Evil 7. Really thought it looked a hell of a lot like P.T. at first, especially with the bugs on the table, but thought it was a great reveal and hopefully they can stick to the creepiness that it portrayed. Cool logo reveal as well.

Then... Days Gone. I was shocked that they didn't fade in 'A Last of Us Story' underneath the logo at the end, as that really really felt like The Last of Us. Not with the enemies, more thematically, musically, visually and even button prompt...ally. Not sure about that one... Who knows at the end of the day with quick glimpse of games, but overall I had a great time watching it and waiting with a 'what the hell are they gonna show next?!' look on my face. VR, sure, not that fussed, but great that it's not mega expensive and has a release date. In terms of enjoyment factor, to the point nature, excitement for the games shown and the future of the console, and overall presentation, Sony did fantastic and in my opinion, made the other conferences look pale in comparison.

Oh cool, thanks guys! (Haven't played a bunch of Dark Souls so that went over my head).

Just saw it was removed from the homepage and wasn't sure what it was to begin with. I'm not sure I can catch it, so just wanted to check to see if it was anything super cool or interesting.
