'''BMW''' is the overarching name of the group. It's an acronym standing for [[BEEFY BOYS]], [[MOTHER]], [[Wideboys]], although originally the name was chosen when several [[Rust]] clans from the [[SomethingAwful]] server, [[Goon Playground]], who all had car theme names (ie. [[FORD]], [[GM]]) combined forces and began raiding pubbies (derogatory term for non-group members). The group renamed twice afterwards, first to '''Wrongthink Tank''' (shortened to WTT) then finally to '''Wideboys''', which is arguably the coolest name possible. We also have a political/controversial posting offshoot called '''BEEFY BOYS''' but we | '''BMW''' is the overarching name of the group.

Uhhhhhhh....I mean I guess we're a gaming group? We used to be BIG into World of Warcraft, then Wildstar, then Rust, but we | Uhhhhhhh....I mean I guess we're a gaming group? We used to be BIG into World of Warcraft, then Wildstar, then Rust, but we don't do any of those anymore. Mostly we're just a shitposting group who coincidentally plays video games. We don't do one specific thing we do a little bit of everything tho, and we usually go with the flow. BMW is mostly a member driven group, so if someone wants to play something or get into a new jam, we're there for it. We also have quarterly tournaments, bi-monthly movie nights, and our own [[BEEFYTV|24 hour livestream]] showing old VODs and sometimes anime. | ||
To be more specific tho, we've gotten into a few joints, such as: | |||
* [[Warframe]] | |||
* [[Wildlands]] | |||
* [[Garrys Mod]] | |||
* [[Breakpoint]] | |||
* [[Conan Exiles]] | |||
* [[ARMA III]] | |||
* [[Overwatch]] | |||
* [[World of Warcraft]] | |||
* [[Vintage Story]] | |||
* [[Minecraft]] | |||
* [[Virtual Reality]] | |||
* [[Animal Crossing]] | |||
* [[Tabletop]] | |||
