Hello, and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight, and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to your host this week! This week, Dan officially started his job at WWE, and the remaining staff returned to the regular swing of things. However, don't let that convince you the Giant Bomb community wasn't up to its old tricks in making some really cool and wonderful things this week! With that in mind, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping as there are some items worth mentioning.
- Issues with embedding videos into blog and forum posts should be fixed. If you are still having issues, please use this link to file a bug report.
- Voting for the 2019 Community GOTY is closed and you can expect the results soon-ish.
- Some users are reporting the hamburger menu is not appearing when using Giant Bomb on the iPad. If that's you, please file a report using this link!
User-Created GOTY 2019 Content!
Author's Note: This will be the last week where I have a dedicated GOTY section in the Spotlight. I'm more than happy to continue showcasing GOTY lists and blogs, especially "Game of the Decade" lists and blogs. However, those lists and blogs will exist in the standard format from before GOTY.

I love the Yay or Nay section of the final day of GOTY 2019 deliberations. More so without the explanations or comments. Except for @alex_navarro ... poor, poor Alex.
