Ryan Davis Loves Mondays

I'm writing this journal because I haven't updated in a while, and because I wanted to share something with you. :3
One of my favourite non-furry sites on the whole Interweb is a gaming community known as Giant Bomb.
They have a delicious mixture of serious gaming journalism and total rampant silliness.
For example, I'm especially fond of their Quick Looks, live-recorded videos where one of the editors just sits down and plays a game while answering questions about it and showing off the various features. (One of the guys, Brad Shoemaker, has such an unfortunate history with Quick Looks that in the Giant Bomb community, the act of dying while recording live footage of a game is called "Pulling a Brad")
They also have a Bombcast every Tuesday where they mainly talk about games, but get sidetracked by topics as varied as energy drinks, helicopters, and movies (in one glorious example, they spent fifteen whole minutes arguing about which Die Hard movie was the best).
But the reason I talk about it now is that every week, they release a video called I Love Mondays where they do a quick summary of what they hope to accomplish on the site in the coming week, and this week's instalment sums up more or less everything I love about Giant Bomb. You can find it right here.
(My personal favourite example of Giant Bomb's silliness, however, is this clip from the Bombcast, in which they discuss Nintendo's press conference at E3 2009)
Yessir, it's sites like Giant Bomb that are the reason I love the Internet. n_n
TL;DR Version: If you like video games, go check out Giant Bomb dot com. It's kick-awesome.
