  • To provide honest opinions on games and the gaming industry without bias and without restraint.

Why ‘Eat My Bomb’?

We use the phrase ‘Eat my bomb’ to mean many things. When we finish a video game, we refer to this completion as ‘feeding it the bomb’. When we win a multiplayer game we exclaim ‘Eat my bomb!’. And of course when we are literally serving explosive materials for dinner we invite our guests to ‘Eat our bomb’. But why?

Brixtone:

The story goes like this. It was a dark and stormy night. Okay not really… I was playing a 10-player game of Rainbow Six 3: Ravenshield. My team and I were well organized and greatly successful with one exception. The moment that any one of us stepped into this one particular building, he was shot dead by an invisible enemy. I was determined to find the source of the mysterious gunfire. At the start of the next match, I ran as fast as I could for the building in question. I ran to the second floor and ducked behind a crate. After a few more moments, an enemy soldier came slinking up to the second floor and proceeded to lie down with the barrel of his sniper rifle pointed down the stairs. I watched and waited for him to get comfortable. Sadly at this point, several of my teammates had been killed but this gave each of them an opportunity to watch the next few moments unfold through my eyes. Still crouched, I slowly crept up behind the stairway assassin and equipped a fragmentation grenade. Silently, I dropped the grenade directly on his back and before detonation announced over the chat channel “EAT MY BOMB!”. The match ended with both of us dead but it provided entertainment for everyone involved and a name for our website. A riveting tale eh?
