Hi, I'm Michael. I'll play all sorts but I'm trying to concentrate on a big backlog that includes a lot of Gamecube big-hitters and every Resident Evil from 0-5. 29 years old and gaming since... god knows. First system I had was a hand-me-down Vic-20.

Nowadays I'm predominantly a console gamer with a PS2, 3 and 4 in my possession with a 360 and a Gamecube thrown in for good measure. The laptop gets used for the odd indie title or Football Manager which I'm suddenly back into.

@slapgunshot: Thanks for being a subscriber! Welcome!

@shindig: Welcome to the site!

@rorie: thanks :).. oh and yes i became a subcriber not a premium member... :) my mistake :)

Hmm where do I start.

Name: Rampaging Robot

Hobby: Working Out, Reading Comics, Playing Video games.

Favorite music: Alt. Heavy Rock, Rap, Dubstep

Very random

Been listening to ye olde podcast for awhile and been a monthly subscriber for a little bit.

I'm a 27 year old cubical jockey (spreadsheet work and such) I love to listen to GB content while I'm at work. Into making music, playing MMOs (hooked on Wildstar right now) and farting around in various digital art apps (photoshop, cinema4d ect.). Been trying to learn how to code lately and I enjoy trying to get my GF to enjoy GB content with me. I think she really enjoys how fresh Jeff is because he knows his rap/hip-hop music. Jeff is also my fav! haha :P nice to meet you guys!

Yo, I'm a 25 year old male living in Minnesota. I've been lurking for quite awhile here.

I'm currently a delivery driver so I have way too much time to listen to music and podcasts. Besides Giant Bomb stuff I listen to WTF, Comedy Bang Bang, Marek Vs Wyshynski, Doug Loves Movies, Harmontown, Steve Austin's show and Men in Blazers.(along with a few others I don't stay as regular with.

I listen to Punk primarily and am pretty active in the scene here as well as online. The best forum experience I've had was based on a punk scene and I'd like to be as active here.

Besides video games and music I'm a pretty big sports nerd, particularly hockey. I'm a die hard Blackhawks and UND (formerly) Fighting Sioux fan.

This is probably the most serious post I've ever made on the internet.

I'm an almost sixteen year old male from Austin who likes video games, especially Kentucky Route Zero and Burnout Paradise. I enjoy listening to music and podcasts, and reading books. I just finished the book Matterhorn, which is a novel about the Vietnam War that I enjoyed quite a lot. I'm on summer vacation right now, and got a premium membership in order to provide me with some extra entertainment while I sit in my room for three months. I also play classical guitar, and have been doing so for seven years. I feel like that post was way too serious, so here's an interview I found of Arnold Schwarzenegger from the 1970's where he explains what the phrase "pumping iron" means to the interviewer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uizc0BRBFc

I'm a 23 year old female from the Pacific Northwest. I'm in love with my Xbox but I don't reveal that to regular society. I'm new to this site so I'm testing the water one toe at a time. I'm impressed with the common respect and civility on the forums and the refreshingly unbiased reviews. So far, I'm enjoying this site immensely.

@mrrampagingrobot: @crabclawfajita: @supermacguyver: @edgarallenpoe69: @notyouraveragefeministgamer: Welcome to the site! Please let me know if you have any issues.

Hey Everyone, Russell here.

I literally just went premium 10 minutes ago after being a silent, voyeur type of giant bomb fan for a long time. The extra daily content from the East recently and the fact that I look forward to the podcast every Wednesday for my commute pushed me over the edge.

Jersey born and bred. 26 year old boy. I love me some shooters, fighters, racers, mmo's and the recent slew of modern indies. I don't love me some JRPGs. I'm a 360 to PS4 convert and my PC, which has more horsepower than I ever needed, is largely used to watch youtube.

Favorite bands are tool, brand new and circa survive.

Outside of gaming I'm an analyst for the pork industry.

Nice to meet ya!

Black London dude. 23 going on 24 soon.

My older Brother got me into Games and Comics, I like most genres of Music but Jazz and Grunge are my favs. The first game I ever owned was Snow Bros. on the Gameboy Pocket, my first console was the PS2.

Um, I have a Mario Pirate flag on my wall in my bedroom.

Hi. I'm Jerico. 21 year old living in SoCal but recently emigrated from the Philippines. Completely new to this community forum stuff.

I love all kinds of games from the mainstream to the obscure and because I grew up at a weird time and place to enjoy video games, my experience with it in general is a little stranger than most.

Hope to know more about you guys, see ya!

I've been fan of the GB crew since the old Gamespot days, and been on GB since it started. I'm a Train Conductor and I fly Drones in the Army National Guard.

@whimsee: Ooo, I live in SoCal too, and my parents emigrated from the Philippines!

Welcome! :3

Hey guys.

I'm Ryan. I'm 16 and right now I live in North Carolina, but in a few weeks I'll be moving to Mississippi.

Right now I'm mostly playing games on my PS4, but I have been revisiting some old SEGA Genesis games I have lying around. I'm also a game journalist and write about videogames a lot. So I might talk about that from time to time.

Other than that, I'm a waiter and some of my interests include history, psychology, and sociology. :)

(PS: I see some of you like punk. I do too. Black Flag, TSOL, and Clash are some of my favorites).

i am 16 and my favorite games are gun games and shooting games, example site

Hello,

I'm Jared a Creative Game Director, at Imagination Vent, in the video game industry. I've been a gamer at heart since getting my hands on the Commodore 64.

I'm working on a next gen platform fighting game using licensed indie game characters and its releasing on PlayStation 4 in 2015. I lead a team of 25 team members, and I work overnight at a PetHotel in SoCal. I've been living in San Diego for nearly 2 nearly and this city rocks!!! We have a local CiCis Pizza Buffet that I frequent, and I sometimes head over to watch or interact in casuals at the local FGC in San Diego. My hair is fire orange, and I've been working on growing my goatee out for nearly 3 years now.

I'm very curious if anyone personally knows one of the Editors for Giantbomb.com? I am looking to find a way to get noticed by GiantBomb so that our studio can have them write up a "Hands ON" Preview article on Indie Assault so that we can confirm our game title so that it will be able to be verified to add to the Twitch Database. If anyone can help me kindly PM me or post here. Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Jared

Hi, I'm Toby. I'm a 13 year old from Maryland. I'll always love Nintendo, mostly Zelda and Pokemon but I've been playing less and less than them lately.. I'll play anything thats not a FPS, never really big on those unless it's Goldeneye. I play a lot of older games, since I'm poor and they're easier to afford. So yeah...hi

Hi, I'm Master Live 013. I'm a 10 year plus veteran from Gamespot and I'm looking to diversify in case GS (hopefully it doesn't) falls off the face of the Earth.

I'm a NY Yankees fan and while I don't game much anymore I keep my copies of Splinter Cell 1/2/3, Halo 1/2 and GTA3/VC close to my heart.

Hi,Im churibilla. Im from Pakistan. Im a young handsome boy in my teens with no relationship matters at all (lawl). i like Linkin Park. i have no idea how i got into gaming but i like FPS RPG MMO.Im currently studying and i will be going to Medical College for Degree next year (atleast i hope so).

i dont know what to say about myself but i think that would suffice (maybe not).

@toby999: Hello! It's interesting that a 13-year-old would be into Goldeneye. That's a pretty old game to be interested in for someone your age, but I guess it's something of a classic.

@master_live_013: I doubt GS is going anywhere.

It's a shame that you're a Yankees fan. Obviously most objective observers will recognize that the Orioles are the finest team in the AL.

@chursi_billa_21: Welcome to the site!

I probably introduced myself to this site 6 years ago in this very thread but I have not been involved in the community for 4 years or more perhaps.

So... Hi again!

I'm Daniel... i'm 28 years old and i'm from Australia... I haven't gamed heavily over the last couple of years except finishing Bioshock infinite late last year, but... lately i've been getting back into it. Been playing a lot of wasteland 2 lately, mario kart 8, and super metroid lately. Hoping to get a xbox one or ps4 soon!

:)

You misspelled "Royals"

I don't know about introducing myself to a group of people that can't spell a word as simple as "Athletics". I say that as a huge Yankees fan.

'Sup guys

My name is Stephen. I've been following the site since '08 and have had an account since '10. I'm from New Jersey but I go to school in Philadelphia where I'm studying biology. I'm 19 years young. HERE is a list of my favorite games. My favorite movies are There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, Seven Samurai, and Princes Mononoke. My favorite musical artists are Joanna Newsom and Fiona Apple. I'm a NY Giants and Knicks fan.

Hey, I made this account a couple of years ago but I dont think I''ve ever made a post here. I'm 21, and from the UK. I enjoy all kinds of games but particularly racing games such as the F1 games and Gran Turismo. These days, I mostly play games on the PS3 or PS4 but love going back and playing stuff from previous generations.

Hi Duders! Longtime fan of the members of the site here been religiously consuming media from these guys since the giantbomb days
I'm a 24 year old Medical Student from the UK who DJs in his free time. I always drop 1 or 2 tracks from video games and no one knows any better! Except for those die hard fans of course

All Your Listening Needs?

Hello. I'm a US Navy Sailor. I game pretty often, because when you're out to sea there's almost nothing else to do. I became a subscriber recently in thanks for all the fantastic content these guys deliver week after week. I'm a Playstation nerd (Vita 4 lyfe), proud Nebraska Cornhusker/Baltimore Ravens fan, and I my music addiction has me scouring the Internet frequently for new music of all kinds.

Hey everyone! I'm brand shiny new! Only been listening to the podcast for about a year and a half - but man, it's like crack. I joined up here so I could start feeding the habit seven days a week, instead of getting the wed/thu - sat/sun shakes between bombcast and scoops & wolf.

Anyway - I'm a 30yo Australian lass. I like post apocalyptic wasteland games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Fallout, Story games like Mass Effect and Sim games like Banished and Prison Architect. I also like travelling and want to go to weird places like North Korea, Chernobyl and Iceland. This makes me very jealous of Drew.

Anyone know where you can find out how to join in the chats that happen (like scoops and wolf chat?). I keep looking for it but then end up watching all the quick-looks :)

Ta!
Mittens

I'm Denise, hello!

*waves*

@randompanda You should be able to join chat whenever those shows are live. They’ll always be at the top of the front page, and there you should see “join chat.”

I highly suggest going back and watching this dude’s videos in order to get caught up on all the Giant Bomb lore.

Furthermore, be sure to tune in to Unprofessional Fridays, there’s always lots of fun to be had there:

Welcome to the site. Have fun, eh.

@patchcoat:

Awesome! Thanks - I shall get started on studying for the Giant Bomb fan club entrance exam :P
Ya'll jealous? I get to experience all this comedy gold for the FIRST TIME baby!

@randompanda: No worries. You've got a hell of a lot of studying to do, though, so good luck. *thumbs up*

Welp, I took the plunge and created an actual Giant Bomb account instead of just checking the site now and again.

Briefly:

I'm Ashley. I'm a writer. I worked in the video game industry as a writer for several years. I more than likely wrote some of the text you skipped over trying to get done with that long-ass quest on this, that, and the other game. I bet you feel bad now, right? Don’t worry. I’m not going to judge you on it.

I love classic literature, Sundrop, my dog, and gaming. I don’t play shooters because I suck hard at them. Like, I’m the one running out in the middle of the field because I thought I saw someone really neat in the distance. You’ll never want me on your team. But I love other games so I’m always up for a good chat. I have a 360 and XB1 currently.

I think that about wraps me up. I’m, ya know, friendly. We can talk about dogs and games. Or if you like Sundrop, I could talk about that for a solid hour. It’s nice to be part of the Giant Bomb community finally. Hope to see y’all around!

Hello! We got a brand new member from Iceland here.

My way into this site has been thus: Quick looks, Bombcast, registering, and last night, finally becoming a premium member. I have been teetering on the edge for a while but the PAX sale finally pushed me over. I am living proof that advertising on podcasts actually works.

Gaming is mostly Sony stuff, Playstation 1,2,3 and the Vita has been a firm favorite for the last few months. PS4 unavoidable at some later date in the future. Got a Steam account for Broken Age as Monkey Island 3, Fate of Atlantis and similar games used to be my favorites back in the day, but I mostly get my fill of PC-games just by watching the Giantbomb crew covering them.

Now I'm off watch some Metal Gear Scanlon. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

So, hi. I'm TheHanna. I've had this account for a while--I signed up about 2 years ago to get access to the Whiskey Media API. I had an idea for an app and wanted to utilize Giant Bomb's vast wealth of data to back it. Unfortunately, the app never happened. I started listening to the Bombcast several months ago and got hooked. When Drew and Dan started talking about the video series that is now Metal Gear Scanlon, I logged back on, purchased a premium membership, and haven't looked back. I figure I'd hit up the forums too.

So, that's how I got here. I'm a web developer from the Chicago area, working mostly on front end development/design. Video games have always been my main hobby, I started on consoles; NES and Genesis as a kid. I also played quite a bit of Doom thanks to a childhood friend who's father was a network engineer. They had multiple computers and we'd LAN up for multiplayer with his brothers on weekends. From there I went on to be an original Xbox fan (thanks to Halo and my prior experiences with Doom multiplayer). My friends and I would get together regularly for Halo LAN's in friends houses, garages, wherever we could set up with multiple TV's and Xboxes. I also go into PC gaming in my teens, mostly CounterStrike and World of Warcraft, but I played my fair share of everything I could get my hands on. I worked video game retail for the last years of the Xbox/PS2/GCN cycle, and the first half of the last generation. I own all 3 last-gen consoles, but mainly played 360 and PC. Nowadays, I do a lot of my gaming via the PS4 and the Vita, along with the occasional PC title. I also co-host a weekly video gaming podcast called That Video Game Podcast.

Besides being a web developer and gamer, I'm also a huge metal head. Old metal, new metal (not nu metal), power metal to blackened atmospheric death metal, I love me some heavy music. I played guitar in a groove/thrash band for several years in my late teens/early 20's. Never really went anywhere, besides a few shows in neighboring states and a couple of demos, but it was (mostly) a good time.

Sorry for the crazy long intro, I just enjoy talking about myself (probably more than I should). Looking forward to getting to know the community!
