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 latest works and creative endeavors of the Giant Bomb Community!
News
Jeff Bakalar and Austin Walker were both guests on Nextlander's sixth "Never Been a Better Podcast." Be aware, this podcast is locked behind Nextlander's $10 Patreon tier.
As we will review shortly, archives of Extra Life 2022 streams are delayed but will be coming to the site. With those two notes away, let's review the real meat and potatoes of this edition of the Community Spotlight, PHASE TWO OF GIANT BOMB'S EXTRA LIFE 2022 CONTENT!
Extra Life 2022 Plans & Information!
First, if you are wondering about the archive or VOD for Giant Bomb's main events for Extra Life from 11/04 to 11/6, Jan announced on Twitter that the encoder is having issues processing the streams due to their length. However, rest assured, the Giant Bomb hosted VODs will be on the site eventually. For the guest streams that were hosted by the likes of Dave Lang or Abby, you can check the links below or in the tracker.
Now, let's talk about this weekend and future plans involving Extra Life! Unfortunately, while Danny was originally scheduled to stream for the site's Extra Life team from 11/11 to 11/12, due to technical issues he had to cancel his stream and delay it by a week. On the upside, Gextra Life with Jess and her partner is still on for Saturday, and Will Crosby from GameSpot as well as the SubPixel Team will carry the torch after that and into Sunday! Likewise, the Giant Bomb Discord will be hosting non-stop coverage from 11/11 to 11/13!

- Jess's Donation Page (i.e., Gextra Life)
- Giant Bomb Discord Donation Page
- Subpixel Films Donation Page
- Danny O'Dwyer's Donation Page
- The Giant Bomb Team Page - We still have a few team members at $0 raised for Extra Life and if you can even spare a single $2, it would be appreciated.
Tweets
Author's Note: For a while now I have considered cutting the "Tweets" section of the Community Spotlight even before the recent news and developments surrounding the social media platform. First and foremost, the site no longer displays Tweets with media correctly which makes certain Tweets all but unreadable. However, with what is happening with Twitter, I am erring close towards axing this section but wanted to solicit input from the community before following through with my feelings. If you have any thoughts, feel free to chime in.

Made this one just in case. https://t.co/ZvG6SZj8BQ However, rest assured I will see this to the bitter end. I watched the Matrix Online die. I watched Playstation Home die... I can watch Twitter die.

Yo, I played THE CHANT on stream before I did the Quick Look on Giant Bomb, if you wanted to see my first impressions of it (also, the beginning of the game) https://t.co/IWqsYPcxZr
