this is probably a reaally stupid question, but, say i have a user on my system, we'll call it bob. now i want bob to be in the games group, while he's already in the audio groups and such. how do i modify the user bob to add him to the games group?

Easy, simply edit your /etc/group file and add bob to the games group line. Bob can be in as many groups as he is listed under. Seperate names with a , and no space.

If I understand you correctly, you just need to: vi /etc/group.
