Internally the engineering team behind Giant Bomb uses the term "wikid" for the publishing system that works behind the scenes and lets everyone contribute content to the site. We arrogantly named it so because we thought we were such wicked (we're so clever) code-monkeys, but every time I come across the daily randomness on the browse pages here at Giant Bomb I think it's a better term for our actual user-base. There is some wild/cool stuff out there.

I added Kanji to that Nosebleed page yesterday, but didn't get any points for it. Oh well.
Been Here Before links to the Giant Vermin page.
Im starting to not love GiantBomb, but that's cool.
Edit: I'd like to clarify, i do love things like this though.
Those April fools top-lists were only for the first of the month, Dave.
lol, j/k j/k... Crotch Damage is a pretty fucking awesome page.
It's great to see people create hilariously stupid wiki pages which are, in fact, completely relevant to video games. This is the reason that Giantbomb is the best site for gamers looking for information regarding games: on one hand there's great, overlyinformativearticles, and on the other, there's pages such as the ones listed by Dave.
Long live GiantBomb!
Haha nice to see the oversized vermin page included in this list. That is always something so obviously overused in RPG games but yet perfect for this site. It just goes to show that yeah, having a site like this dedicated to video game knowledge and information allows us to really expand and inform people about the smallest and most unusual of things within video games.
Dang, never realized asking about Battletoads was some kind of thing. I have been asked that at work, though I currently work for a different video-game retailer. I merely responded with "no, try cash converters" or something. Neat feature though, highlights some of the weirder pages out there.
It's still much funnier to imagine Kanji's got a nosebleed because of some undisclosed head injuries caused by the girls, so I'll pretend I didn't hear otherwise.
I gotta be honest, I changed the blurb on the vore page to annoy the people who started it, since I thought it was ridiculous that they named the page about swallowing people whole after the Internet fetish that finds the subject sexually arousing. I didn't think I'd see that blurb staring me in the face on a news page.
Haha. Nice to see something ReTarDedFisHy calls Giant Bomb Community Ingenuity.
Keep up the good work, guys.
"ZeroCast said:I have totally missed that, thanks for pointing it out though."Is this also going to be like a weekly feature?"Good Job reading the article :P
snide said:"This is just a small fraction of what's actually out there, so hopefully I'll return to this feature next week if there's enough interest.""
