Ok so, I see them..they look neat..but how do I add them?  Can't find it in my edit profile pages..and searching the forum for 'badges' shows a bunch of crap that is completely unrelated or simply talks about liking or disliking them..quick answer and a thread close maybe?

I would think it should be in edit profile, where you edit your sig n such..? 

its underneat the box for number of forum posts.

They add automatically depending on the games you added to your collection. So, add games for a current gen console/handheld

wow, they're suddenly there? hmm ok..thanks zexen=P

I expected: "We don't need no stinking badges"

lol, nah..I actually think they're a good idea..I see the forums are a tad divided on it though.
