Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am honored to your host as we look back at the best user-created works from the last week. I don't always do this, but I have to start this week's Spotlight with a bit of a "disclaimer." There was a huge trend of people making comical deep fakes featuring Giant Bomb staff members, and I suspect the results will haunt your dreams until the day you die. And before you ask, I'm not sorry that I am sharing these with you. That said, I wish all of you good health. Things are getting worse in parts of the United States and across the world when it comes to the pandemic. Remember, stay indoors as much as you can, wear a mask, and distance yourself from other people when going outside. We are all in this together. So, with that in mind, let's jump into the couple of housekeeping items this week.
- Pre-orders on the Giant Bomb Track Suit will close at 12/16/2020! They are expected to ship at December 21st, so, consider them a "late" Christmas gift if that is your plan.
- Users have pointed out that Vinny has stopped posting his "updates" in the Staff Goings-On thread and Vinny is aware of this. He's mentioned current events have cropped up and that the popularity of these posts took him by surprise. So, when things settle down, expect to see the thread to get updated.
- It's not every day that I wake up and I see "We almost named our cat 'Jeff plays Mario Party'" in Reddit, but that happened.

I might have missed Thanksgiving this year, but last week's Beastcast was a pretty good substitute to the usual discussion my Uncles would have before dinner. Thanks @giantbomb ! pic.twitter.com/F61M0q7r57

Oh, wow. I just cracked 10,000 lifetime blog comments on @giantbomb; a feat that has only been accomplished by one other user. I want to personally thank everyone who has made this possible and look forward to continuing to share my video game-based thoughts with the community. pic.twitter.com/XNS3fhF9qP
