The Community Spotlight 2020.09.12

3 years 6 months ago

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 community offerings from the previous week. First, to any of you being impacted by the United States west coast fires, please stay safe and healthy. Also, be aware some members of the staff have been impacted by this event as well. On a lighter note, the community is still BUZZING about the Xbox Series X/S news! Everyone is still mulling over the two SKUs and if Microsoft's "leasing" program holds any appeal to them. The staff, Jeff in particular, continue to explore streaming games during "off-hours" in hopes of reaching out to different timezones. Unfortunately, these streams very often go unannounced as they are spur of the moment decisions, but be aware they are something to be aware of in the future. However, with all of that in mind, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!

Clips

Giant Bomb Jeff's Stint As An Astronaut (By: Liam Tasker)

I don't know who decided to upload this old PAX panel video clip of saying "I'M AN ASTRONAUT!" while putting a plastic bag on this head and then getting murdalized by Patrick, but I needed this.

Giant Bombcast 460 Highlight - A Question About The Last Of Us Part 2 (By: Semi-Active Giant Bomb Archiver)

Here's a blast from the past for all of you Giant Bomb fans! During Bombcast Episode #460 way back in 2016 the staff very quickly dismissed the idea of The Last of Us Part II being a launch title on PS5 and doubting the very notion a PS5 would launch by 2020.

It was a different time.
