Giant Bomb

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 works from the previous week. It's not every day that we see the pending doom of a social media network, but hey, it's been a year! Regardless, the community was pretty vocal about me keeping the Tweets section of the Community Spotlight. So, it will remain until Twitter ceases to exist. However, as you will see, the theme with this edition of the Tweets section involves the other social media platforms staff use on a semi-daily basis. All current staff are still on Twitter and while some have created accounts on Mastodon and IG, that is not universal. But more on that in a little bit! For now, let's review some site-related news!

You can now relive this event in all its glory!

With the main events of Extra Life 2022 behind us, it's time to thank everyone who participated and donated! Across Giant Bomb's 88 participants, the team managed to raise $156,776 which is enough to place Team Giant Bomb at #3 on Extra Life's highest fundraising teams!

GextraLife with Jess and company managed to raise OVER $30K and the Community Discord Team smashed their fundraising goal of $3,000 as well! If you were not able to donate during the main events, don't worry, you have until December 31st to donate to the current pages before Extra Life wipes everything clean for 2023.

If you are wondering about the VODs or archives of the Extra Life streams, the Mario Party stream is on the site and the 24-hour uncut SF Studio Stream is available on YouTube in a single video! For the other streams, here's what I was able to find scouring Twitch:

Finally, I mentioned last week how Danny O'Dwyer had to cancel his stream plans after two critical pieces of his streaming set-up broke. There's still no update on when he will be able to do this stream, but I will try to keep you updated as best I can!
