Wonderful Wikis
Far Cry 3 is the big release this week...and it's the last major video game release for a while. If you haven't gotten your hands on the game check out it's fairly detailed wiki page to get an idea about what it's all about. Forge and Mutant Mudds are games that were released this week and if you have no idea what they're about the Giant Bomb wiki pages for them have you covered. I created a concept page titled "Secretly a Robot," and finally with all this talk about human breast milk check out the Milk object page to clean your palate as well as your soul.Best of Blogs

Fantastic Forums
Far Cry 3 didn't just invade everyone's home, but it also invaded the forums with various topics related towards giving you and opportunity to discuss as well as detail your thoughts and adventures related to the game. BRYN created the Giant Bomb staff as well as Will Smith and Norman Chan of Tested in Scribblenauts Unlimited, whereas TheMightySkullboy created the Giant bomb team on WWE '13. If you have any idea which video game character you would most want to party with or which game you were most disappointed with discuss them in their respective forum threads. Finally breast milk...you should all be ashamed of yourselves.- Giant Bomb and Company for (Scrubblenauts Unlimited) for PC via Steam Workshop (By: BRYN)
