OKAY SOME CHANGES: I have done away with the GBSSX accounts (feel free to delete them) it's to much hassle and it doesn't seem to be working for everyone.

The events will now be open for all to join it shouldn't attract to many random players.

From what I can gather the problem is that the 'friends of friends' thing only works if everyone down the chain participates in the event. For example, if I had one of the secondary accounts on my friends list I would only be able to see the event if the secondary account participated in it. I think people that are not directly on your friends list and are able to see the event can do so because someone else on their friends list already did the event because they have the main account added. In other words, if you still want the friends of friends thing to work we would need to find out who is A) friends with the main account and B) actively participating in the GB events.

I don't get why they didn't just put in a clan/group system into the game for this type of stuff.

I think you're looking at this whole thing the wrong way.

Its not the floor thats his penis its the WHOLE. FUCKING. SKYSCRAPER.

In Saints Row The Third you can run a MASSIVE CRIME SYNDICATE OUT OF YOUR DICK.

I bet he's up there, penis lodged in the clouds, smiling down on us as he considers that he once held the world at the end of his dick.

My understanding is that press are allowed to cover the beta, but that they are under embargo until Monday, just a heads up. Personally I'd like to see someone trying to use a support/healer Guardian. If you need a reference for what I mean, I made something along those lines with the build calculator.

So I was messing around with a friend on Saints Row 3 when I kamikazeed into our penthouse and lodged my penis in the floor. Thus began my new life.

I'll never forget you, Penis Floor Man.

Satire yo...I guess.

Personally I like this version of the Space Jam tune. The game it's for is also ... interesting.

Okay, you better prepare your brain for the God damn masterpiece I'm about to fire directly from my throbbing thought organ right into your willing cranium:

The main subject of this picture, front and centre, is Adam Jensen. Surrounding him on all sides are a variety of characters:

1. Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid dressed as Jason as interpreted by a Japanese manga artist (his eyes are huge and his speech bubble says "moshi moshi slashy desu, nanomachines".
2. Gabe Newell and Giant Bomb's Brad Shoemaker in a duplicate pose of the DVD cover of Kramer vs Kramer (the picture on the left, Brad is the child, obviously).
3. A muscular bear on fire wearing sunglasses who clearly does not give a shit about being on fire and is actually kind of cool with it, caption blazoned just below the picture (in chunky supercool firey font) reads "this could get grizzly."
4. Either Roseanne from Roseanne or Satan, either works so you could just flip a coin or something. What matters is that the character is at a small BBQ wearing both a chef's hat and an apron depicting Christ entering a bank with a bag of money and the caption "Jesus Saves".
5. Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble clearly under the influence.
6. Lastly, Big Smoke and CJ from San Andreas in the distance failing to dig a hole in the desert with a shovel. Big Smoke's speech bubble says "all you had to do was burrow the damn plain, CJ!"

It should also be noted that the main subject, Jensen, is wearing a small Santa hat and peeping into a present he is holding. The theme of the picture is Christmas and should be formatted in a style similar to the Star Wars posters. Since such a work may take several years, even decades, to perfect, I shall be patient. Go on. I'll wait.

Jensen's speech bubble reads "I never asked for mitts."

What I always enjoyed about Halo's multiplayer was that I didn't have to run a treadmill for eternity just to be on level ground with my opponents. Apparently that's an out-of-date way of making videogames. I am a little sad.

I'd put my support behind this as well.

Another concern I've had is with inactive/unsupportive members. I've seen a lot of users with low post counts wanting to join, which is fine, assuming they're genuinely interested in the site and playing the game, but if we do become a really big guild within WvW, it seems like an easy way for people to join and leech the rewards from those actually doing all the hard work.

I don't think we should force anyone to play PVP or WvW either, but how are we going to deal with people not even gaining influence for the guild from PVE events? (if they're spending most of their time in other guilds and only switching to ours for the benefits).

The guild I have for representation at any given time will depend entirely on what I'm doing and (more importantly) who I'm doing it with. If I go into World vs World and team up with some guys from the Giant Bomb guild then I'm going to represent Giant Bomb, but if I'm having trouble with some PVE boss and some friends from a little mini-guild I'll be part of come along to give me a hand, it only seems fair to represent them at that point. I think it's also important to keep in mind that initially, a fair number of people may wish to make their way through the PVE story with friends before they start jumping into the PVP areas, so it might take a week or so before it really picks up.

As for post count, I've been visiting Giant Bomb for a while now, but it was only recently that I felt I had something I could specifically try and contribute to this community. I try to follow the ideal that sometimes less is more; it's better to make a few well thought-out posts than a thousand rubbish ones (that isn't a jab at you, in all honesty).

Probably because they were afraid 90% of the community would be riding on penis or swastika boards.
