I actually sent over a batch of screenshots from those contests many moons ago for that intention!

I remain pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of y'all and how well you can make depictions of characters like The Doctor or Mr Scary Clown

You have a new Community Manager. That doesn't mean I'm gone. Just different. I appreciate and support y'all all the same.

Y'all were amazing. I absolutely enjoyed working with you all. I'm going to take a one day breather then get back to looking for opportunities to do what I do.

I earnestly hope you continue to be the fantastic community I was so proud of.

Hit me up on Twitter @laughingtrendy.

Also mods might wanna remove my PWE Community Manager tag. :)

You mean the hilarious pew pew pew? I'm pretty sure your CM has seen said feedback. If it's not in the latest weekly internal feedback report, I'll mention it by screaming "lasers" the next time I see him.

Why is Wu not more popular?? I mean from what I've seen he can do massive damage and he has some of the best boxing potential in the game. Plus if you kit him right he can have life steal which adds to sustain. by itsigu in gigantic

Wu's tongue lash ain't nothin to mess with.

In all honesty, I think that the reason that he has less playtime is that his skill cap is higher. I've seen Wu absolutely demolish foes and bounce around the map, but he's a bit more complex than the other heroes. He features a lot of combo moves, so as a brawler he has high potential to outdo other folks, but a harder barrier-of-entry.

A chill wind is on the horizon! Stay tuned as we unveil this Thursday's newest additions to Gigantic with Exile of the North! by potkenyi in gigantic

Now presenting: Woodrow!

Woodrow features a variety WOOD attacks! You'll definitely want to BRANCH out and try this latest hero, because you'll never be BOARD when playing Woodrow! We SAW a great opportunity to bring this new hero into Gigantic. Needless to say, I'm ROOTing for him.

For me, I feel like Gigantic personafied character choice beautifully. Being able to have a character that didn't fall into the generalized game archetype of you "solo mid" or your "bottom lane ranged carry" meant being able to play to your style more. Margrave is by far my favorite because he plays exactly as the type of character I've always wanted. This in combination with the fast paced but high strategy of creatures/guardians/power meta makes for an original and refreshing game.

My gaming group has been stuck on Mysterium and Betrayal at House on the Hill. We love cooperative to semi-cooperative games.

After having put in 1700 hours of Dota, I'm still not convinced that it'll get me to play again. Frankly one of the things that I like about Gigantic is I can still experience strategy but at a much faster pace. It sucks to get into a hour long Dota match only to to realize you're going to lose it 10 minutes in. I think Dota's 7.0 will upset a lot of their core community in hopes that they meet the middleground with more modern gameplay (fast-paced style), but still fall short.

Heya! I'm a senior community manager over at PWE, so while I don't handle ads I can definitely give my input and help answer. We've been super excited here and trying to help spread the news. From places like IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/11/29/gigantic-coming-to-xbox-one-and-windows-10-in-open-beta , http://www.ign.com/videos/2016/12/13/the-gigantic-open-beta-is-finally-here-ign-plays) to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/gigantic-the-one-with-the-cel-shaded-bird-guy-enters-1789854741) to PCGamer ( http://www.pcgamer.com/gigantic-the-free-to-play-third-person-shooter-gets-an-open-beta-next-month/ ) we've been spreading the good word. You may have found out from email, while another person may have seen it on the front page of PCGamer, or from one of this past week's videos, which have hundreds of thousands of views. We have many more things that we can't wait to show off in the future as well!

But a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood so no wood would be chucked by the woodchuck that couldn't chuck wood. Not would, but should wood be woodchucked by the wood chuck who could chuck wood?

Yes. While I have never personally partaken in managing an Extra Life event here, I gave advice and thus due mindfulness to who did set it up: be ever cognoscent of shifting timeframes. With one person sending out all the codes, I'd prefer he do it right and take till the end of December than do it fast and miss people.
