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! We have a real diverse assortment of Giant Bomb community creations this week! With most people transitioning from Winter to Spring, it's good to see the community take the time to work on things both creative and inquisitive. Nonetheless, these were some interesting highlights this week, including Canadians fighting over pizza, but more on that later. So, without further ado, let's jump into the site housekeeping!

  • Jan gets asked the same question in the Giant Bomb chat repeatedly, so much so, they felt inspired to post a "Top 3 Answers" reference guide on the forums. Whether you wanted to know what he uses to style his hair or his favorite Filipino food, give it a read when you have the time.
  • The results for the 2019 Giant Bomb Community GOTY are in, and the top game might surprise you! Let's just say that the game that won didn't mimic the staff's GOTY.

I may have mentioned it before, but there's an "unofficial" YouTube account archiving Giant Bomb's video Instagram video content. This account has the thumbs up from the staff in part because the content they are hosting is free! So, feel free to subscribe to "Giant Bomb Stories" if you have any aversions to Instagram!
