I. Love. This. Site.
I have been looking for a professional yet tacky gaming site for a long time now. IGN, 1up, ect are all too "by the book" in my opinion. I wanted something that had a little bit of personality.
A friend showed me giant bomb and at first I was not interested. Later on i started watching the quicklooks and really loved the personality that the "bombers" bring to the discussion of a game. They are funny yet insightful and eventually i decided to register on the site itself. What really surprised me was the fact that i could link my steam/wow accounts up to the site and look at all my achievment stats. This blew me away. No other site that i know of does this and it really impressed me.
So here I am making my formal "noob" post on the forums :)
New to Giant bomb ...dont hurt me
That about sums it up.professional yet tacky

" Also just a quick tip, you might wanna change your avatar. Some people have a easier time remembering people with their avatar rather than their names. And the one you have currently is a default one so it's easy to confuse you as someone else. "I guess ill change it to my steam icon.
" @Twilight said:Actually, it's better to change your avatar often, to keep people guessing. I should know, I change it up every few weeks." Also just a quick tip, you might wanna change your avatar.

We are all gathered now? Good.
Our first objective: We must carry the Giantbomb to the Yankees Stadium! We must make it explode as soon as ace player hits the ball!
Second objective: After completion, we blame it all on Japan, thus causing a post-apocalyptic war!
Third objective: On 2012, we enter America from Florida and spread ourselves up, destroying all news stations apart from Fox, because nobody believes in Fox!
Fourth objective: We clear up, therefore our race is seen as it should be-perfect, beautiful, supreme!
Let us go now Team GB131! These orders have been passed down by General Gerstmann himself! Davis argued-he has been silenced.
Al halal halas!

Welcome to GiantBomb, home of the GiantBomb, may I take your GiantBomb?
:D
I'm pretty new myself but I got the feeling that you ain't gonna get more personality on any gaming site than here. GB is the future of gaming sites!
