Open: Giant Bomb, Execute: Launch

Well, the day has finally arrived.  The day most of the community has been feverishly anticipating for months: the launch of the Giant Bomb site.  Well, we are still technically in Beta, but whatever.  Fans imagined what it would be like, how all the mysterious features would work, and how the community will bond together through forums.  Now that the first full day of Giant Bomb is coming to a close, it has been hard to put down in one sentence a description of today.  So, I will go with my first thought that came to my mind:  absolutely freaking amazing.

Everything has been better than I imagined they would be.  The database system is unbelievable.  It really is just too awesome.  Everything is seamlessly interconnected and the adding/editing system of the database is a breeze to work with.  The community is also incredible.  Profile pages are great and sending friends PMs and wall posts are simple and easy.  Creating Lists are very enjoyable and run very smoothly.  Now the forums, that's where most of the action is.  I have always had great faith in the community that was going to form Giant Bomb.  While there have been a few mishaps today(what website doesn't on launch day?), my feeling stays the same and stronger than ever.  It has been great meeting friends from the blog and seeing new faces around.  We have a great group of people around here who just love to just relax and talk about video games.  Who doesn't want that?

Since it is getting late here and I have class early tomorrow, I must bid Giant Bomb adieu for until tomorrow.  To all friends and strangers, I hope that you are having a tremendous of a time on the site as I am and I hope you continue to have such enjoyment .  Make Giant Bomb the best that it can be!
