Since the community on my (formerly) beloved Gamespot seems to be disappearing daily I'm having a look around at a few more sites and forums to see what I can learn/add my input to.

In order to be on these forums you are required to watch every episode of the Endurance Run. I'll see you in 99 hours, 59 minutes.  
 
Seriously though, Welcome to the site!

It was the good luck (or in that case I think it was good night) ; have Batman.   I'm afraid I still don't get it.

Oh, I read that wrong. 
 
The "Good luck; have Batman" was a joke from the bombcast. It's referring to the beginning of Starcraft matches where people routinely type "Good luck; have fun" or  "gl;hf" to each other.

@melcene: In Starcraft there is a set of initialisms commonly exchanged during competitive play.  GL HF (good luck have fun) is said by bother players at the beginning of a match.  GG (good game) is said by a player conceding defeat, then repeated by the other player accepting victory.  BM (bad manners) is commonly used to refer to players who refuse to follow these social standards, most commonly by leaving a losing game without first saying GG.
 
Someone (Ryan?) determined that BM stood for Batman.  Someone then said, "good luck have batman."  A meme was born.

Not just starcraft but that is what they were talking about at the time.  It is really any rts game that is played.

Well I think everyones already proven that GiantBomb is a lot more of an active community than GS.
 
I feel like I should say Good Game now, but don't really know why.

Welcome to the site, Johnny! I'd normally go through all of the 'read the rules' stuff, but honestly, there's no point. We're pretty relaxed despite being Giant Bomb. Enjoy the community and check out all the site features!
