Hey hi hello folks!

Welcome to Giant ROM 2, the second game jam for all things more or less related to Giant Bomb! Since it's been about half a year since the last one, it's time to make some games together again!

THE THEME HAS BEEN DECIDED:
"WHAT HIDEO KOJIMA DOES NEXT"
MAY DAN HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.

• START: November 28th (I will announce the theme live just past midnight when that day begins, so don't start working before then!)
• END: December 6th (be sure to submit your game before that day is over!)
• There will be a special theme picked at random from the GB folks' suggestions at the PAX Prime panel! In addition to this theme, the game should also be somehow related to Giant Bomb.
• Do what you want, but please try not to be too crude or offensive -
  be a Giant Bomber, not a Giant Bummer!

So that's November 28th to December 6th - 9 days total, which includes two weekends. Hopefully that's enough to let as many people as possible make some really cool, really silly games... again!

The Themes

Nearly every member of the crew suggested a theme for the jam when I asked during the PAX Prime panel, so for the sake of fairness I'm trying to track down everybody so each staff member has a chance to contribute. Here are the themes; only one will be chosen, and I have no idea which!

• The Crowd: Johnny V
• Jeff: East VS West
• Dan: What Hideo Kojima Does Next << SELECTED THEME
• Vinny: Italian Pac-Man
• Austin: Bleak Cyberpunk Dystopias
• Jason: Babies
• Alex: FMV
• Brad: (TO BE DETERMINED)
• Drew: (TO BE DETERMINED)
• Rorie: One Big Chomp

Good luck, and check out this thread on the Giant Bomb forums for the latest updates!
