It's crazy to think, but this one event has been one of the biggest influences of change in my life, I've quit my job to go study next year, I've done a 3 week self discovery adventure course to find out how i deal with challenges and work on self improvement, i've lost 10kg's, I'm so much better in social interactions, and even before Ryan's death I wasn't a social outcast or anything, I had a...

I've had time to deal with this, The Bombcast and indeed Ryan has been, a real force of good in my life, I've relied,,, heavily, on them, throughout the last few years, and increasingly over the last 2. Headphones on at work, going about my daily routine, paying debt, work hasn't been fulfilling in any way for some time, and the bombcast is how I keep sane in the mundane, it's how I cope with h...

I'm sitting here at 6:30 am, Tuesday morning, in front of my computer screen, I'd normally be out the door by 6.. 6:10 at the latest, one check of chrome to see what's happened as I was in slumber, The tabs that auto open are first, Giant Bomb, second, Facebook, and third hotmail, Giant Bomb didn't load this morning, I never met the man, not in person, but in spirit, in spirit, most definitely,...

Hey Giant bomb, The objective was, What's the best costume I could make with an old 80's style 2 size too big suit, 50 bucks and a couple dress shirts I no longer wear, pvc glue tissue paper and some face paint. (Oh and an aerosol can and lighter) this was the result blatant glorification.. whatchu think?

It's been deemed by our government that each citizen needs to help the cause of our #1 growing industry, Tourism So if we don't convince at least 1 person a year to come to New Zealand we will be ostracised and exiled to Invercargill.... (you don't want to be sent to Invercargill...) (...It's a shithole) (Don't try and defend Invercargill, they bribed you with zero fee tuition) So without furth...

Hey, I haven't created a topic in a while, but the time has come, My "good Friends" have created a website, all it contains is one of my kinda shitty early pictures and a URL that is (mynameheartsthecock) and for your viewing pleasure Reaction video my mate posted So to you, Giant Bomb, I humbly say.

The simpsons might actually be ending soon, if not this year then next, crazy to think it might actually happen, of course they really haven't been good for the last what...5-6 years? probably longer, When they started Futurama the quality of the show gradually declined and it became more about preserving the cashcow than producing an amazing cartoon. at least we'll have the thousands of re-run...

i am fucking sloshed, mates 23rd I bought a 750ML bottle of Jack,, and I'm the onkly cunt who drunk it, and I made sure it was finished, we went to town in a van.

In New Zealand The police have a recruitment drive based around getting better work stories, Example It's been mocked mercilessly But they might have a point... Love that other guy dude's like, oh god my wife is never gonna let this down What's your better work story?

Ok, first things first, the Car in my Avatar is my old car, it's there for sentimental reasons, I had to sell it in 2009 due to being made redundant and not being able to afford a 210 KW 285 BHP 2.5 Litre V6 Twin Turbo Mitsubishi Legnum VR4. I loved that car, it was... magnificent Well, six months ago I started looking for another Legnum, I was back to being Financially secure and I was sick of...

Jesus christ, I just tried out Arcade mode with my "Stock" 458 Ferrari, on professional A class, I say stock because I haven't touched the engine/airflow/weight/exhaust instead of upping up the AI it just threw overpowered cars at me, I was racing Bugatti's and Citroen GT's I still thrashed them by 10 seconds on a 2 lap race of rome... Wtf game. EDIT: I haven't tried arcade mode since I bought...

Bollywood fight club! fuck all that philosophy bullshit it gets to the real matters! "I wanted the fighting to be real, but also dancing...." "im cool cause i wear glasses inside, i spit on your films sense of philosophy, I came up with the idea of this moviefilm not based on any books....fuck you give me all your money" What with the suadi version of Uncharted "Unearthed" what other atrocious...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coromandel_Range Driving my VR4 Legnum through the Coroglen-Kopu road, a Metal/Dirt road that runs through a mountain range in the North Island of New Zealand, although it may seem slow, I was averaging 70-80 on a dirt road and reaching 110 on the straights, At the end my car looked like this Great driving roads are awesome, do you drive great roads? if so, where?

NZ, Hmmm This is where I grew up Coromandel Peninsula New Zealand, I grew up in Kuatunu which is a small town near another small town called Whitianga I lived in a house on the hill just to the right of this picture.

I am ashamed I didn't see it sooner, and so should everyone else, go watch it it's everything that anyone who visits a whiskey Media site would like, I somehow had my doubts, within the first minute, I knew I was in for a good ride, this Movie, is one of the best movies I have watched, just let that sink in for a minute, Sure it's not a Oscar piece, but as something of pure escape, something fu...

I want to know some slang words that you use everyday that other people in the world might not get, For example I use Blat as a term for "Have a go" had a blat on my mates car the other day, Another, Some Burke nicked my car.

http://www.27bslash6.com/tennis.html This guy is absolutely brilliant. Introduction to Tennis Hello, my name is Holly and welcome to my complete guide to the exciting sport of tennis. Considered by some as a game and others as the terrifying and pointless act of exercising by choice, tennis, invented in 1976, involves fun things to do with racquets and balls. You can swing a racquet. You can hi...

This is just pure gold, one of the comments: I notice a distinct lack of pubic hair, can you guarantee that this fruit is of a ripe age? I do believe there are rules against deflowering the blossom whilst it is still on the tree, so to speak. If the age query is satisfied I would also like to know whether the pubic hair is absent because of shaving / waxing, or simply because this fine specimen...

Hello and welcome to reds drunken escapades, how are you slll , I hope you're well, I am. So, because you must be really interested, I will tell you how my night went, besause it's my blog and i'll cry if i want to, what? I didn't say anything, A few drinks, that is what was promised, a few drinks was what was on offer, a few drinks is what I consumed, to the noise of the beat,. As I stumbled t...

To tell you the truth i am looking forward to meeting my family for the first time since I was 4, or shoulf i say my fathers side of the family, I) a,...

Don't worry dudes, it's not me, because I know that would be both a major shock and a blow to you on a personal level, yep my head is so far up my own ass right now I can see the sun! I have just found out that my uncle on my dads side has four months to live, At first I didn't know what to do with that information, comprehension on the matter was just dismay, so right now I am tasked with gett...

Hey duders, I have noticed over the last few weeks that I have been logging on to GB a lot more than I used to, then I started to really take notice about how much I have logged on, and how it is affecting my life, The fact is, I started to join in the fun of GB when I was in a bad place in my life, I was made redundant, I left my gf, and I had to sell my beautiful car to pay my boarding bills...

:( It's a sad day for GB, I am not going to add anything else to this, All I will say is this sucks, For more info check OldSchools leaving blog http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/oldschool/just-want-to-say-good-bye-to-all-my-giantbomb-friends/30-50492/

I know that the person who is doing this will most likely not read this, and if they do, they'll more than likely get a small kick out of it, But fuck it, Dude, whoever you are, you're a cunt, a small weak minded motherfucker who does not deserve to be on a site as good as this, go back to the depths of 4chan or something, hell you aren't even up to their standards. I can go on, but I won't, I...

Ok so tittle is a bit off, I had an absolutely wicked time Saturday night, an impromptu phone call from a mate saying he is coming round with Stake kicked it off, I rang up my friends asking them to come on over and enjoy hanging out, it's been way to long, and desperately needed it as well, Working twelve hour shifts for this whole year including Saturdays start to get to you with no time off,...

I just want to say that Mods should get a massive shout out because of the forum work they have done over the past couple of days, which will more than likely continue for a couple of more days, Good job guys, you're doing well. Hope the tidal influx of spam won't drag you away to the depths of insanity.

My 3000'th post and I am arguing in an internet forum, Trust me, two years ago I would have thought you absolutely bonkers had you told me I would reach 3000 posts, let alone using it to argue on the fucking internet, Goddamn GB, what happened to my social life, I need scotch...

Warning, Massive wall of text, you have been warned. Warning two, I go really off tangent, I just let my thoughts flow. I love the quest thing, it's going to introduce a lot of people to the underused and underrated Wiki, and hopefully integrate a lot of users into the community as a whole, Forums are for the whole sitewide users, not just the usuals, I also agree that web design should follow...

If that ain't Awesome, then I am a musical instrument. My favourite from these, Q and Q reading Q. And, Fuck off back to Greece you Fucking Hummus eater! from Professor X to Xena, What is yours?

Cake is a 90's band that should have made a bigger impact than they did, From their Album fashion Nugget "Friend is a four letter word" The lyrics are just sublime, and the track has just a really good groove going through it, I think The Flobots have gotten some inspiration from this track, Another from Cake, From the same Album, Fashion Nugget, "The Distance" "Bowel shaking earthquakes of dou...

Alex, We miss you, Where have you gone? Only you can supply me with the Vitriolic Diatribe that I need to function on a daily Basis, Ryan Davis can only supply so much. Boo, Boo I say!

Taken from OldSchool's Apology thread. Have a laugh at my expense, I had fun writing it, it felt good to let it out in the open. Ok, if you don't want to read this, please skip. Might be kinda disturbing to those with fragile minds... @oldschool said: " @Bloviator said: " @oldschool said: " When is someone going to apologise for voting for George W. Bush? First or second time? " Seriously, ther...

That is shit, luckily nothing happened to my precious beer, but if it did, I would have probably gotten very angry and done nothing about it, I am not the angry letter type person, I just let it stew and fester until I get my revenge. If you are apart of the much hated FB then join the group I just created, Whenever I buy a box of beer, I am paranoid that the handle will break. Has it ever happ...

I have dived into Rapture once again, and playing through my headphones is Peter Greene, Love it, The Blues is definitely one of my favourite Genres of music, Happy Valentines day, Sucks to be single though.

Sometimes being a bit of a geek has it's moments, If you had a computer and you were playing games back in 2000 - 2002 Age of Empires 2 was your heroin, somebody passed me this link and the Nostalgia flooded right back, If you don't like this beat, you have no soul.

Check the thread here , This is for my own reference.

On the Birthday scale your 21st is a biggie, It's considered the time when you transcend to adulthood, And instead of a ritual where your elders make you walk through fire or do some sort of feat that proves you have susceeded, In New Zealand You consume a Yard Glass! Ahh, 21 Years Old, Anyway, when I was eight years old, My Grandfather passed away, I was as close to my Grandfather as an eight...

I watched the movie, there, I said it, I did not pay for it though, it was a free copy from my dvd rental place I go to, I thought to myself, It can't possibly be as bad as what they say, Naivety +1. I did not watch it as much as sat through it, letting the "film" abuse my senses, I made myself sit through the punishing film because I needed to see for myself what my childhood obsession has tur...

Some of you who know me from the Forums will know that I am an Inwards Supervisor, And of them only a few will know that last year I had aspirations and was in training to become a fire-fighter, And also that earlier this year I was one of the unfortunate to be made Redundant, Now, at this stage of palpable economic recovery I may have a few choices of Careers, Now, I could keep my position, Bu...

And Kudos for them playing tool. What will people think up next, A gun that creates Portals? Nah, that's just silly talk.

I think there is an unnatural imbalance in the way that these two subjects get portrayed in the mainstream, Now both are interconnected in the animal world, And they are of course heavily associated with the history of our species, But why is it that Sex or any form of Nudity is to be censored? to be Shunned? I don't understand why nudity is to be frowned upon when if I were to look at a mirror...

I love this site. There I said it, I wont hide it any longer. Where else will there be a thread congratulating a Mod, (Although a well deserving one) It's the same with the thread congradulating MattyFTM. It is just fucking brilliant, You guy's are O for Oresome, Big respect. Enough of the soft stuff. Now onto manly things like drinking Light beer and playing videogames?

Ok, first off i am slightly pissed ( or to the yanks Drunk as fuck) I have to say that I have had a really really good night tonight first off shouting my two best matres to D9 ( absofuckinglutly AWESOME......)

Hey Duders. I have become a lazy fat git.... Let me get that out of the way, Now it was not always like this, Last year I was in the best shape of my life, It is nearly coming up to a year when I lost my way. It is not something that I am proud of, And I am going to change myself, The reason that I have not been on this site for the last couple of weeks is because I was making a work-out guide...

This thread here Is a good thread , Wanted to keep my post as I thought it was a good answer and it gives details of what sort of music I am into. Depends on what sort of mood I am in, If I am in a Confident Mood Then Bob Seager - Like A Rock . If I am in a Mood for Lovin Then Bob Seager - We've Got Tonight , The Doors - Light My Fire The Doors - Love Her Madly If I am in a Chiilin sort of Mood...

This is copied and pasted from a thread that i posted in so if you want the full story go check that out.

Please read and comment, hopefully I can lay this edge off and get bac...

Hey Duders.
