Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie am honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created works form the previous week! This weekend was the start of Extra Life 2022! Even if you are reading this edition of the Community Spotlight after the streams and charity drives have ended, you can still catch up with VODs of streams you missed.
Also, be aware that you can continue donating to Giant Bomb's Extra Life 2022 page until December 31st, 2022! If you couldn't donate when the event started or was live, do what you can to spread the word and feel free to give what you can when you can! So, without further ado, let's talk about how you can help Giant Bomb have a fun and successful Extra Life this year!
Extra Life 2022 Plans & Information!
If you are reading after the main weekend event is over, be aware some community members and staff will be streaming after the normal Game Day block of November 4th through 6th. For example, the Giant Bomb Discord group always streams during the weekend after the main site does.

Right now there are 77 team members! All during Extra Life weekend, the site will try to rotate community streams below staff-led ones in the Giant Bomb chat. However, we also have a lot of team members still looking for their first donation! If possible, check out the team page and send some donations to anyone still hovering at $0 raised to boost their morale. Be aware, THERE WILL BE MORE EXTRA LIFE CONTENT AFTER THE MAIN EVENT!
Finally, please consider giving the article Rorie published a read if you want to know more about the staff's plans for Extra Life and how you can watch all of the site's streaming goodness for the event as well as follow the MANY community-run streams!

I've done a terrible lack of promotion for it, but I am streaming for @ExtraLife4Kids as part of team @giantbomb. I haven't set my full schedule yet, but I will be opening with a one-shot of @WetInkGames's Heckin' Good Doggos on @OMMultiverse

This was very last-minute planning, but today's live stream will be the first Extra Life stream. Raising money for the WVU Children's Hosptial. This'll be a very spooky start with a playthrough of Luigi's Mansion. #extralife @giantbomb https://t.co/yEZ2LFwdLY

After a lot of testing, here is the final schedule for my 8th year of #EXTRALIFE!
As always, I'm a member of the @giantbomb team, and personally raising funds for BC Children's Hospital.
It all starts Saturday at 10:00am (PDT)! Hope to see you then!https://t.co/KcemACAn3v pic.twitter.com/VdThrJJfao
