  • Retrogimp created a blog A Good Day.
    Wow, it just keeps getting better.   Not only is it my birthday, and my parents kindly bought me Batman: Arkham Asylum (which I can't wait to play!) as well as a hundred quid for a new HD TV monitor I'm saving for, but last night I received my exam results to find out I'd passed them all and now have a BA Honours degree in Journalism. My girlfriend also sent ...

  • Dude chill out man. I know you've said you've been on since the beta but you've only been a registered user since March. That hardly means you can speak for the whole community and call it the 'downfall' of GB. Some of us have been here as registered users from the beginning. In the end who cares, as long as we're having a good time and getting along.  :)

    Killed trying to defend the headquarters in WaW. Least I think that was it.

  • @SonicFire said: " Look, a lot of the premises here are flawed. WWII was of such a large scale that the lion's share of Germany's fighting-age male population either enlisted or were conscripted into the Nazi Army, REGARDLESS of their political views. The issue being that at a certain point, you're still killing Germans, including those who did not fall goose stepping after Hitler.   This is a sensitive analogy, but saying ...

  • @Ugalde: Really? I even started my file and left it for about a year, then came back to it almost grudgingly and got hooked. Suppose it's just different tastes etc.  As for the Mass Effect thing, I'd just quit. 24 hours is more than a suffient time to have spent with a game anyway.

Not only is it my birthday, and my parents kindly bought me Batman: Arkham Asylum (which I can't wait to play!) as well as a hundred quid for a new HD TV monitor I'm saving for, but last night I received my exam results to find out I'd passed them all and now have a BA Honours degree in Journalism. My girlfriend also sent me a handmade card with all these little funny messages and a promise of a special surpise present next time I see her on Friday. As cliche as it sounds, I don't want this day to end!
 
Anyways, I know this is nothing of interest to anyone but as I love Giantbomb I just thought I'd share my joy. Well, now I'm off to play Batman - wooohoooo!!

I have to say, this is probably one of the only times I am actually excited about working on uni stuff. Wanna know why? 'Coz it's about Giantbomb, baby! YEAH!!

I should probably clarify further. I'm a Scottish journalism student and as part of my fourth year Editorial Management module I have to focus on a publication (magazine, newspaper, web site, etc) in terms of the manner in which the chosen publication is managed internally, and conduct a 20 minute presentation to my lecturer and the rest of the class. And I've chosen Giantbomb! How cool is that? It'll be awesome, I'm going to show some videos, (like the 50 Cent review and one of the How to Build a Bomb episodes) and compare it to other video game web sites for a perspective on the industry, such as Gamespot and IGN.

I'm currently putting together the Powerpoint presentation, and man, I'm getting excited. Anyways, just thought I'd let the community know.

A true classic... (SNES)
To simply have owned or played Capcom's Street Fighter 2 back in the mid '90s was cool enough, but for it to have been the game I can proudly say introduced me to the world of video games in general, that is sheer epic. Street Fighter 2 is pretty much ...

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 is hit and miss with a lot of its new features, and on the whole, will probably fail to impress those who already own last year’s game. The main problem with the WWE’s latest installment in the Smackdown series its lack of significant changes since ...

A truly thrilling co-op experience... (X360)
Just when it seemed Capcom had successfully cornered the zombie horror market with the Resident Evil series, out of nowhere pounces Valve's Left 4 Dead, with its surprisingly lucrative co-op-focused take on the survival horror game. It seems the developers of the Half Life and Counter Strike series' had some ...
