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 creative endeavors from the community from the previous week. First, I just want to thank everyone who joined me in reminiscing over HitmanAgent47 last week. It was a trip and somewhat comforting to see those Hitman meme pictures didn't all disappear. However, a few other usernames cropped up during that time that are equally memorable, but probably in a better light. Speaking of which, have I ever said how much of a shame it is Claude isn't on the forums anymore? Jeez, I'd LOVE to see what Claude thinks about the Nintendo Switch! In fact, I'm willing to allow him to have a mini-paragraph review of the system on the next Spotlight if someone can get a hold of him. I know he had a rough go of it a while ago, but MAAAAAAAAAAN would I love to see him talk about the current state of Nintendo consoles, even if it was for just a hot minute. Anyways, we actually have LEGIT news about the forums worth discussing! Also, it was an incredibly "active" week on the forums!
- The big news this week, obviously, is the creation of two NEW forum boards on the site. There are now Anime and Wrestling forums! However, keep in mind these forums still fall under the normal forum rules. Additionally, the Off-Topic forum is not going anywhere anytime soon.
- If you write any blogs related to anime or wrestling, and it lacks any gaming related content, please attach your blogs to those forums rather than "Off-Topic."
- Link to "Anime" Forum; Link to "Wrestling" Forum.
- In case you may have missed it, and have a premium subscription, there was a new episode of the Film & 40s podcast, with the film this time being Pokémon: The First Movie!
- Over on Instagram, Rorie interviewed Brad and asked him "Hey Brad, what was the first computer you ever built?"
