People commonly make gutteral noises such as Uh huh and say phrases such as "oh god" as they orgasm.  Hence, we can determine from your posts that you orgasmed due to a spider crawling on your arm. 
 
Sick, sick fuck.  You should be ashamed.  Getting turned on by a spider?  That's insect-iality, bro.

I live in the middle of Nowhereshire, England so I'd be unlikely to find many people near me. Even then, I wouldn't feel too comfortable going to a meet-up with a bunch of strangers unless it was something official like the Big Live Live Show.

I am going to beg the magazine I write for to let me go to PAX East this year and cover the show. If I make it to Boston I hope to attend anything Giant Bomb-related and meet fellow duders.

Not sure anyone would want to meet me(WHAAAAA). As for the Staff, not sure what I would do if I ran into them. Maybe a pic or two with them. PAX West 2011 is a must for me or the Retro one near San Francisco!

I haven't met any GB members in person but I'm not against doing so. Maybe at PAX next year. I imagine there's a pretty good sized Seattle community here.

I know a few people from NZ and Aus on the site, some of them I would like to have a beer with, but I dunno, it could be awkward...although, people who follow my blogs should get my personality anyway >.>
  

So yeah...

Man, I thought that said "prison" instead of "person".   
 
That took on a whole different meaning.

Although there are a fair few people who I would like to meet up with when I am on my OE in the near/far future, they know who they are, or do they...

Not personally, though I have no great aversion to doing so. One day.... one day I shall be at PAX. Then we shall see.

I know I've told this story on the forums before but there was a single case where I met someone from Giant Bomb in real-life. There was an old thread about people in the UK getting their acceptance letters to UK universities and both me and another user posted that we had been accepted to the universities we wanted and were going to be studying computer games programming. We exchanged some PMs and it turned out we were both studying at the same university. In one of my first tutorials a guy sat down next to me, booted up his computer and went straight to Giant Bomb, I talked to him and sure enough it was the guy from the forums. The end.

I pimp the site whenever I get a chance, and have been proudly repping my Whiskey Media shirt, but I haven't met any fellow Bombardiers in North Carolina.

" @JJWeatherman: I sat in a room full of them for the Giant Bombcast LIVE waiting room (and subsequently in the show room itself) at PAX this year. It was kind of cool but kind of awkward, because nobody seemed to talk to anyone who wasn't a friend that they came with.  Also 90% of the people there looked to be aged 13-17. "
That's what makes me weary of ever meeting a fellow duder. Frankly, I don't see a vast majority of users here having much social grace that ranges beyond spouting in joke memes around like it's in style. I mean, that's what half the people here do anyway.  That said, there's a choice pocket of GB members I wouldn't mind having a beer with. I'm following most of them. "
I dunno... PAX actually doesn't have THAT many kiddies, it doesn't seem like anyway.  Then again, the hubby and I never seem to make it to the panels because we're always walking 0.5 mph trying to look at everything at once. 
 
I hadn't been visiting the GB forums yet when the last PAX rolled around, although I was there.  There are a few people though that I'd be down for meeting at next year's PAX if I never run into them before then.

Haven't met any Bombers in the DFW area, but I know you're out there! People from North Texas cities send in e-mails all the time on the Bombcast!

So where is the community made GB fan meet up? I probably wouldn't be able to go to it.

I've thought of going to Pax East for kinda the same reason(Live in Jersey). But then I realize that outside of staff, I'd have little to any clue who half the community members were(vice versa). So, I tend to discard that notion out of fear sheer awkwardness.

Sightings? What are we? Some kinda mythical creatures now? 
 
That said, you're all mythical creatures to me still. I have no proof any of you actually exist apart all this text on the internet!

Closest I've ever come was when i saw a guy walking down the street wearing a luchadeer hoodie in a sleepy finnish town called Joensuu.
 
I didnt run after him because, (A) I was with my gf and her friends and, (B) because it would have been super, super creepy. 
 
If you're out there finnish dude, LET ME KNOW!!!! :D
