Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we ease into the Christmas weekend. Despite the site rounding off its GOTY content last week, we have plenty of community-made goodies for you to enjoy. For one thing, we have a slate of GOTY blogs and lists from your fellow community members that are all worth a read while you wait for the staff to come back from break. Speaking of which, we have a handful of news items that are incredibly important, so, let's get into it now!
News
In case you missed it last week, here's a link to the VODs for Giant Bomb's video coverage of GOTY:
- Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2022: Day 1
- Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2022: Day 2
- Giant Bomb's Game of the Year 2022: Day 3
Community 2022 GOTY voting has begun as well. If you experience any issues with community voting, feel free to drop a comment in the bug reporting thread. Likewise, we now have a thread where you can post and embed any of your 2022 GOTY lists! Feel free to post and discuss what you have on the site if it is any way shape or form connected to GOTY.
However, the big news related to the site's GOTY coverage is that staff lists are officially on the docket from the 26th to the 30th of December! The site will not be hosting guest lists like previous years, but staff lists are always a welcomed addition.
Finally, many have been reporting that emails to the customer support address are bouncing. If you have been impacted by this issue, please drop a comment in the linked thread and also fill out the form Rorie has linked so he can get you squared away.
