That's a good question. it's a lot of things.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.giantbomb.com/news/welcome-back/108/">- It's also ready to become a pretty big gaming community. We, naturally, have a healthy forum section that will let you chat it up with other like-minded individuals. In addition to the standard discussion forums, every single page in the database has a forum at the bottom. Want to post specifically about <A href="http://www.giantbomb.com/gears-of-war-2/61-20662/">Gears of War 2</A>? Or <A href="http://www.giantbomb.com/astrosmash/61-8125/">Astrosmash</A>? We've got your back.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.giantbomb.com/news/welcome-back/108/"><DIV>- Then, of course, there's the database. We're stacked full of pages for games, platforms, franchises, characters, concepts, objects, locations, accessories, and the people that actually make games themselves.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>All of these pages can be attached to one another. So if there's an object (like a <A href="http://www.giantbomb.com/hamburger/93-9/">hamburger</A>) that shows up in a game (like <A href="http://www.giantbomb.com/river-city-ransom/61-6608/">River City Ransom</A>), you'll be able to see that link. The end result is a page that shows you every game with a hamburger in it.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Truly the future is now.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.giantbomb.com/news/welcome-back/108/"><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Thanks,</DIV><DIV>Jeff Gerstmann</DIV><DIV>Giant Bomb</DIV>
