Hello everyone and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host as we look back on the best user-generated offerings the past week. First, I just want to thank everyone for the warm response last week! The "final" GOTY Spotlights are always a pain to make and seeing people come out to show their appreciation means a lot to me. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. That said, we are returning to the "normal" format of the Spotlight. If you end up making a belated GOTY list or blog, I will still happily showcase it, but within the usual categories. With all of that in mind, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping.
- Don't forget about Giant Bomb's 2020 GOTY Portal! If you are worried you may have missed some of the guests or live-streams; this is the link for you!
- As mentioned last week, TRACKSUITS SHOULD BE ARRIVING! If you haven't received a shipping notice for this or your Vinnyvania shirt, please email orders at http://socialimprints.com to inquire!
- Hades won the Community GOTY Voting by a wide margin, but if you wanted the "expanded" results all the way to the top 500 vote getters, Rorie has you covered!

It's taken 10 years & 2 house moves but finally have my signed @giantbomb poster (ft. @taswell @jeffgerstmann @VinnyCaravella @patrickklepek @drewscanlon @bradshoemaker) framed and ready to go up. Super pleased with it! pic.twitter.com/DUDfwbeG09

Ever wonder what your villagers talk about when you abandon your copy of Animal Crossing? Well, @VinnyCaravella is one of those villagers and he's got some shit to say. pic.twitter.com/L3zL4p0Zpx

Made a comment on a random thread on Reddit that I had lost my signed 2014 Giant Bomb Nighthawks poster in a flood a few years ago.

A very nice man named Paul was downsizing and offered to send me his. The internet is a great place sometimes. pic.twitter.com/GCkAmZS1Ty
