Hello and welcome to the latest edition to the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best user-created works from the Giant Bomb community around the web! Well, that was certainly a week! With the pandemic-induced game drought starting to settle in, the community and staff of Giant Bomb still found ways to keep things exciting!
We have a trio of community activities for people to join and a ton of discussion threads about topics both new and old. Also, we are only two weeks away from the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run, the Spring user-run charity drive! Speaking of which, I want to thank the two people who donated to my GBCER charity page! If you have enjoyed the Spotlights over the many years I have authored them, please consider donating to my page! Obviously, don't break the bank and small donations are greatly appreciated! With that in mind, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- Vinny thanked everyone who wished him a speedy recovery after his surgery.
- There's an interesting article floating around in the internet about Alex's Truck Simulator streams. While some have raised an eyebrow about the article's structure, it's definitely worth a read, and even Alex has noted the irregular tone and writing style fits their Truckin' video series perfectly.
- Speaking of Alex, they will be appearing as a guest on the Cinema Oblivia podcast on 04/29 to talk about the film "Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia!" Subscribe to the podcast now so you don't miss an update!
- Also, Giant Bomb East has officially broken down their CBS set as they prepare for a new set-up with Red Ventures! That said, use the link to see Alex's musings about their favorite memories on the old set.
