i love that they added so many layers. I can finally make a good creeper;)

I did a creeper too but I went way simpler with it, I think it ends up looking fine in small mode on the player card. Once I get the Ghost perk I can sneak up behind people and cook grenades on them.

I stumbled upon this on the Something Awful forums and it looks like it started on Neogaf, but I thought I'd link it here and get some more people involved!

Here is a website for it!

The Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta is a community-organized challenge playthrough of Final Fantasy V. As you play through the game, you are randomly assigned 4 jobs, one from each of the crystals; these are the only jobs you are allowed to use for the entire game. As you unlock more jobs in the game, you send a message to the site's twitter account and the account sends back what your new job is. The site keeps a list of every participant and their assigned jobs, so you can see how many people are completing the game.

The other side to this whole thing is that they are also raising money for Child's Play. Some of the donations are pledges from fans of the challenge who pledge money for each player who completes the challenge, or specific donations for specific players who finish.

I don't know how long these people have been organizing this thing, but it looks like they do it yearly. Here is a fun infographic thing on their event from last year.

I've never finished Final Fantasy V before. The furthest I had ever gotten was to the fire crystal, near Karnak. I started this challenge yesterday and am already further than that. I looked at this challenge as a great excuse to finally play through this game. My assigned jobs so far are Thief, Berserker, and Beastmaster.

Check this thing out. I think that it's pretty cool!

Here's some videos I've found in the past few days, tons of gameplay footage:

http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/eg-rides-trials-evolution - Eurogamer, 7-8 minutes of footage, just gameplay with no commentary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTOA6p2Fye8 - Gamespot, 15 minute "on the spot" gameplay demo or whatever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1ToEMTiUoQ - Gamespot, 37 minute gameplay demo

Do they explain how the birds got into space, and how they are able to survive outside of the Earth's atmosphere?

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up on my angry birds lore

This game is great and is already much tougher than I thought it would be. It's demanding more "outside the box" thinking than any game I've played in a long time. I was absolutely stumped on 1-18 last night and after about 15 minutes put it away and went to sleep. Just now I fired it up, looked at it for about 10 seconds, and breezed through it.

The level creation and QR code system is great, it makes great use of the hardware's capabilities.

Here's a bunch more, not mine: http://i.imgur.com/HBWvF.jpg

Is the giantbomb clan invite only?

You can earn some types of them through normal playing. The upgrades for each weapon type are 25% more ammo for level 1, 50% more for 2, 75% for 3, and unlimited for level 4. The first 3 levels are relatively cheap and are accessible early but the level 4 pistol ammo upgrade requires level 50 and something like $75,000.

Other upgrades can make you completely invincible to bullets or other types of damage and are similarly expensive.
