miniBomb v1.1 Released.
http://www.kilotonapps.com/minibomb
Yup, I changed the version numbering. I think everyone's going to be really happy with this update...
Fixes
New Features
That's right, you can now watch every single Giant Bomb video with miniBomb. On top of that, i've categorized the videos so you can easily and quickly get to the more popular selections like Endurance Runs, Mailbags, and (of course) Quick Looks.
Like always, I appreciate any and all feedback... and if you like it, spread the word!

holy shit. for the videos, are you using the versions they make for the iPhone app?
is there a chance of showing higher quality versions or are those off limits?

Not exactly off limits. They have higher quality versions of their videos but they're FLV files, unplayable by most (all?) mobile devices.
Zombie James said:
ah, got it.
So I tried this out on my iPhone and it worked great but it wont work on the iPad. the page loads since the iPad presents itself as a mobile brewer, but the quicktime player wont show the play button and play the video.
I would love to use the iPad with this with one of those two pane browser apps. one pane for the video and another for the main site or gaf. If you can get the videos working on the iPad browser, I would be eternally grateful and buy you a beer over the internet.
Oh wow that miniBomb site is really cool. I do have two suggestions though.
Is it possible to get a search function for videos? This is the one feature I miss most from the iPhone app and it'd be really cool to just, for example, be able to search for a specific Quick Look and find it instead of scrolling through a long list.
The second suggestion is a really minor one but maybe you could use a close up of the bomb logo for the home screen icon instead of just the letters Mb, but that's just my opinion.

That's... odd. I'm using the straight-up HTML5 <video> tag, I don't know why the iPad wouldn't support it. I don't have an iPad but i'll do some searching around, see if I can come up with something.
OMG Aero said:
Search is something i'm planning on adding in the future, so yes. The app icon was just something I threw together so that'll probably change, too.

It's an ironic person, not serious at all, and yes I'm pretty sure he's been referenced on the bombcast before

not giving it away but just a starting point:
worked on some Bioware games.
edit: seriously, this Quest system is stupid addictive. Ive wasted half my saturday looking for things. Im level 8 and about 80% of the way to level 9.
Hopefully, I break out of this mini addiction soon. I feel dirtier than an MMO fiend right now

I hear you man. I've been using it as something to do between homework and studying when I want to clear my mind. It's like playing a trivia game that involves video game industry and giantbomb memes, which honestly is where my pop culture knowledge starts and ends :lol
I got my create a page one for Greek Alphabet. You guys should add to it to get XP. http://www.giantbomb.com/greek-alphabet/92-4867/
Does anyone know what the requirements for Tactical Nuke are? I dropped over 100 points into a page, I guess it's more than that.
I'm so close to Level 15.

Just finally completed "Monster Mash".
Really, some of those monsters aren't as generic as others that aren't included on the list. I mean, Orcs aren't part of that quest? Orcs are the defining fantasy template monster.

Don't need too many more for the quest. I'll follow back, I promise.

Thank you. I visited the mushroom page like 6 times hoping it would register, never thinking I had to specifically look up the exact name of the item. I also had no idea there was a miniature version of that. Fish out of water
Yeah see that's the thing, what you're implying there isn't actually the answer. That's what was driving me nutssteadfast said:
Haha, duder. Read what the quest says now that you've completed it. Also check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLIkenta said:

Add me at http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/elektrixxx/. I need to have my reviews recommended as well for quests. I think you'll like 'em!
I'll return the favour, as well as backtrack through this thread.

I feel like a total moron, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where to find the quests everyone is talking about. Wtf am I missing?

What I did is I just went to the "Mythology" concept page, and on the right hand sidebar I just went to "related concepts", which basically gives you every mythological creature to ever appear in any videogame.
Went down the list, one at a time, until I found what I was missing. If you need more specific hints for Monster Mash:
#2 -
Maybe this is a staple in all the Western RPGs I've never played, but this monster is not quite a giant, but still a rather large humanoid creature with a somewhat strange name.
#4 -
Though not a werewolf, this creature seems more like a canine's version of bigfoot. The term has also been used in a more generalized context to describe a variety of other mythical creatures and "humanoids of various skin tones". I only got it because I remember somebody talking about their existence in Dwarf Fortress.
I realize that neither of those are probably specific enough to give you any hints, but that's the best I can do without saying the creatures by their name.

Adding a release to a existing page counts too, apparently.cory said:
Did for me, at least.
Thanks for this, I just added Sonic Adventure to the games list.cory said:
If someone wouldn't mind adding me that'd be nice, I'll add you back.

yeah, I think it's time that whiskey media go outside of their small teams philosophy considering that they have a bunch of new sites/features now.
also, the art for the art for the quests is amazing! they should hire turbo_toaster full time!
Anyone who can help me with the third page for the Up and Atom quest? I've been looking for 30 minutes now, I know it's something to do with
I'm getting seriously frustrated, horrible sense of OCD, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, please.
Edit: Finally found it. Damn you, GiantBomb, for making me look for stupid things for way too long.
Star Wars/Darth Vader/something, apparently?

Yeah, I have the bar which counts my Level or whatever, but that's it. No idea where you guys find actual quests to go on. (Ya know...to get more points.)chogidogs said:

Thanks, and that explains a lot. For some reason that link doesn't appear when I use Firefox, but it does if I use Internet Explorer. Fucking Firefox.
