I think most of us can agree that this site is awesome.
What's your favorite part about Giant Bomb so far?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I love the editing feature right now. I think I've got 10 different subs pending aproval, and if half of them are selected, I'd be stoked.
I got to edit the Michael Jackson's Moonwalker page. Crazy! Hopefully it goes up!
I think the whole user integration is the key part of Giant Bomb. Not just user editing, but the forums for every page and, might i say, one of the greatest communities I've ever been a part of! (so far) Everything is made with the user in mind, and it really showcases the guy's commitment and sheer passion for gaming. Here's to the Bomb Squad!
I'm so stoked that the site is up.
On topic, It's not necessarily that the Nintendo fan is dead. I think the hardcore Nintendo fan is still much alive, however, Nintendo's recent decisions are alienating those fans.
What most people don't realize is that the hardcore Nintendo fan basically got 5 of Nintendo's top franchises (all quality mind you, and maybe even best in series for each) in 18 months. The problem with that is that it has created a drought. How do you answer that drought? You give fans hope with a trailer or something.
e3 gave us nothing, and no Nintendo hardcore's are panicking. They shouldn't, because we know the games are coming, but this drought is only making matters worse.
Pushing the matter further, Nintendo keeps stressing the casual side of gaming without a mention of something "hardcore", so a lot of Nintendo fans think the end is near, and Nintendo will eventually abandon their hardcore, or compromise it by appealing to the casual.
The coming months will definitely say something about where Nintendo is going. There was a lot of pressure on e3, and they just tanked it. But considering Miyamoto's words about how e3 just isn't for the hardcore anymore opens the door for some huge announcements at other conferences.
Once Nintendo shows the hardcore's some love, the Nintendo fan will be born again. I hate how people jump ship on Nintendo with stupid "i'm selling my wii" "i've been loyal and now they've abandoned me" crap. If you're truly a Nintendo fan, have faith.
I know I will.
"I'm so stoked that the site is up.Wow, I'm still trying to get used to the site's html stuff.

I just realized I posted this in the wrong topic. Hm.
The site is great because the layout is not only easy, but it's logical. I can't find shit at other sites. This is shaping great.
Gonna be loving the blog feature. I hope they push the community blogs because I think that could be a really huge feature that people would love.
I really like the forums and editing system. I figured out how to use it now and I feel like the users can help out the staff when in a tight spot.
I like the way the site looks. The option to edit it yourself. And i like the staff!
Go Jeff! Go Ryan! Go Brad! Go Vinny! Go Giant Bomb!
The best part about this site is that its very interactive and that Jeff Ryan Brad and Vinny are very professional yet unprofessional
The interface is visually pleasing. The addition of wall comments for quick comments between friends is another great implementation. The forums look great.... less clutter. The auto comment feature is great, which will alleviate any extra pushing of the refresh button. User interaction through editing is a great idea and another unique feature....
I was going to create a topic like this when I saw this one pop up on the right. The last post was from 6 months ago. Let's bump it to see an updated version of what people like about the site, eh?
