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 user-created offerings from the previous week! During the 02/21/2020 UPF the other moderators and myself had a fun chat about how far this site has come. The fact that startles me the most is how the CBSi "era" of Giant Bomb has long since exceeded the Whiskey Media days. And I don't mention any of this to slander the site or its staff members, but it's something I've never really accepted as fact. If you wanted to know, whenever us moderators reminisce about the "old days" HitmanAgent47 comes up. Jeez, I'd be surprised to see how many of you remember HitmanAgent47... use the comments below to show if you have any idea what I'm talking about! Anyways, here's the site-related housekeeping!
- Rorie has been hitting it out of the park with their micro-interviews on the Giant Bomb Instagram! However, he wants to know what YOUR burning questions are you'd like the staff to answer next!
- Speaking of which, this week Rorie interviewed Jeff on Instagram and asked him "What's the most money you've spent on a single arcade game?" The answer is definitely worth watching!
- Jason has an update on has an update regarding the audio issues with Giant Bomb West videos and Quick Looks! For the most part, the issue should be fixed going forward. This includes video and audio syncing issues as well.
- Let's give a big round of applause to Rorie for filing tickets for: timestamp preview images not working, the formatting bar randomly disappearing while commenting/blogging, and the navigation bar on wikis not working on mobile! If you have any issues while using the site, feel free to use the Bug Reporting board on the forums!
- Due to extenuating circumstances, Giant Bomb East's normal schedule will be moved around. Check the front page regularly to remain up to date!

I asked @giantbomb a very important question on this Friday's UPF. I like to imagine that @katestark would be proud: pic.twitter.com/HMcEQoIFAC
