First, here's a reminder to check out Rorie's "Giant Fire Bomb Side Chat" post on the forums! If you want to learn about the plans for GOTY next week or when merch will be restocked, this is the post for you! For anyone that was a fan of Vinny's forum posts about the site's plans at the start of the pandemic, it is definitely worth a read as well.
For those still confused about GOTY 2021 content, it will debut from the January 24th and will continue through the 30th. As a result, there will not be a Community Spotlight next week. Most likely I will have a JAM PACKED Spotlight on February 5th! Speaking of staff content, Armed and Rangerous is back and the series' return features a special guest in the form of Stephen Fu! With that in mind, let's jump into the "good stuff!"

The Xbox 360 version of Age of Booty is on sale now for 99 cents. In case you needed a reason to drink a lot of rum.

These were brought up at the tail end of this weeks @giantbomb podcast, patches Activision sent in the 80's to "Pro Gamers" had to go seek them out.

Apparently the Memotech MTX is what they built Kelly LeBrock with, so that's enough qualifications for me.https://t.co/OmTBKwrku9 pic.twitter.com/EYHLBHm8Ak

Run For The Hills Fan Intro (By: @manburger)
Manburger decided to put their video editing skills to use and make a "fan intro" for Run For The Hills! Definitely watch it to the end to get the maximum amount of joy!
Community-Created GOTY Content!
Author's Note: Hey everyone, this will likely be the last time I have a dedicated section to user-created GOTY section on the Spotlight. With the end of January right around the corner, as well as the site's official GOTY debuting soon, it seems right to have this be the last week to structure the Spotlight like this. For those that end up publishing their GOTY blogs and lists after the fact, don't worry, I will still include them in the normal blog and list sections of the Spotlight!
