Hello an 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 endeavors from the community! As was the case last week, I again wish to thank all of you for the influx of comments and support! Again, rest assured this feature is not going away. Likewise, it does appear the spambots are back and you see any just remember to flag them for deletion and do not actually respond to them. This applies here and everywhere on the site. With that in mind, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- If you have noticed a bunch of mid-roll ads on Giant Bomb's YouTube videos, you are not alone. However, Mr. Rorie wants you to know the staff are trying to address this issue as best they can.
- In incredibly important news to the wiki database, Twitch's database is now powered by IGDB.com.
- Last week I mentioned how Twitch streamer GrandPOObear was added to the database as a result of a credit they received in Spelunky 2. In the last Spotlight, Giant Bomb user martyns linked me to their reaction to seeing their name in the credits for the first time and it is truly delightful.

Dear @giantbomb, My husband and I decided to rewatch the Babysitting Mama post for the first time in at least 4-ish years. Still delightful. Led to a ton of weird questions from my kid who was within earshot. pic.twitter.com/CGrQ3kjn2a

Giant Bomb x Mega Man (By: @fobwashed)
Friend of the site, Fobwashed (aka Steve Kim on Twitter), was going through some old files of theirs and remembered they mocked up all of the Whiskey Media-era Giant Bomb staff as Mega Man characters. For old-time users some of this may seem familiar, but it is fun nonetheless.
