Why I Decided to Become a Giant Bomber

A recent podcast brought up discussions of integrity within game journalism. A lot of interesting points were brought during this conversation and I found myself taking a step back and looking at various places where I find my gaming reviews. I have never asked the question, "Who is this person reviewing this game?" I know nothing about them. Do they have a bias to certain genre, are they over/under critical or are they just doing this for a paycheck? These questions never came to mind whenever reading any of this information.

I have a been listening to the Giant Bombcast for a little while now and I feel like I have gotten the chance to get to know the people who are providing me with my gaming information. I can honestly say that after getting a chance to hear some stories from the lesser seen side of game journalism , I found a happy home where I can put all my faith into the people that are presenting me with all this information.

Thank you Giant Bomb. I can see why so many of you Giant Bombers come here now. I am happy to be a part of your community now.

That talk they had at the end of the Bombcast this week was so good, I listened to it twice in a row. Really great to see how they handle such contentious things in the games writing field.

And welcome to Giant Bomb. May Luchadeer watch over you, always.

@ThunderSlash:DROP A BOMB ON IT!

Great to have you here! The recent bombcast was good, but serious discussion of reviewing practices has always taken place around here.

You don't decide to become a Duder,

your born a Duder.

You aren't a giant bomber, you're a duder! Welcome. :)

You're probably on some sort of government watch list now for declaring yourself a Giant Bomber (but dude, it's totally worth it!)

Any duder with a megaman avatar is alright in my book! Welcome to the BOMB!

i read "why i decided to become a" and immediately thought "woman" a millisecond before reading "Giant Bomber" *shrugs*

Welcome. This is the only community I've ever been a part of. I don't have that many posts but its always felt like home.

HEY HEY NOW NOW! I like this new duder!
