Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight. I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created endeavors from the previous week. But, before we do that, we have a considerable amount of housekeeping worth addressing.
First, let's give a round of applause for Jeff's review of Halo Infinite! A lot of comments have been swirling if this will be the last review on the site, but only time will tell. If it is the final review a staff member publishes, reviews certainly ended in a bang.
The second big pieces of news is the Giant Bombathon which will be happening Monday, December 13th! The event will begin at 10 AM PT / Noon CT / 1PM ET / 6 PM UTC. Catch it on giantbomb.com/chat and expect some wonderful guest appearances throughout the event!
Speaking of the Giant Bombathon, a lot of users expressed frustration over the lack of advertising of the event on the proper Giant Bomb site. Apologies on this one. The promotional video, which you can watch below, somehow went up on YouTube but not on Giant Bomb. That said, Rorie is taking suggestions on how community members want livestreams and video content communicated to them or surfaced on the site. One of the proposals is to bring back a pinned thread on the forums similar to Vinny's video wrap-ups. If you have any suggestions, please, SHARE THEM!
