Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best creative offerings from the Giant Bomb community! With GOTY thoroughly behind us, we all can finally relax and enjoy the scenery. And by "scenery" I mean wonderful works of art and writing from users like you! I don't know about you, but it is finally starting to set-in that we are at the start of a new decade. The site, in general, has come a long way since its humble beginnings, but fingers crossed, I have a good feeling about the site's prospects in the 2020s. How could I not, what, with the busy community and wonderful staff that make each day a memory worth preserving! With that aside, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- GOTY season might be over, but if you missed any of Giant Bomb's GOTY coverage, don't forget about the community created "Unofficial Giant Bomb Game of the Year Database."
- The results of the Giant Bomb Community GOTY have been delayed. You can expect to see the results sometime this week.
- The site has new image tools! If you enjoy uploading images to blogs, threads, or wiki pages; give the new tools a try! Also, the engineers have fixed the referral bug as well!
- Speaking of which, YOU STILL HAVE UNTIL THE 20TH to get your vote in for Giant Bomb's 2019 Community GOTY! VOTE OR DIE MOTHERFUCKERS!

It took me 4 months this time, but I finally got all of my hundreds of #PAX West 2019 expo hall photos attached to the appropriate game and company wiki pages on @giantbomb.

Based on my photos, I saw 355 games. I remember a few. It required the creation about 100 new wiki pages. pic.twitter.com/TE3ULfzG8B
