The Community Spotlight 2023.06.10

Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am happy to be your host as we look back at the best community creations from the week.

How are we all enjoying Giant Bomb's coverage of NOT E3? The first Talk Over of Summer Games Fest and Giant Bomb @ Nite event were AMAZING! And, as of this posting, we have two more nights of guests as well as the Xbox show on Sunday.

Instead of doing the normal site-related news, I thought I would use this Spotlight to give thanks to all of the people that made the site's NOT E3 content possible.

First, many thanks to Jan for being the man behind the scenes that makes all of video content possible. Even when there might be audio or video hiccups, we all know he's busy working on them so we can fully enjoy the nonsense the staff are up to.

Thanks to Jeff Grubb for scheduling all of the guests and reaching out on the Giant Bomb Discord regarding how the Giant Bomb @ Nite events were formatted in the past, so that he could best tickle our nostalgia while also letting him do his own thing.

Thanks to Windbag for the hilarious transitions between segments. If you're an old school GB fan, you remember waiting hours before the next panel of guests with nothing but a wait screen and music. These breaks are quick AND entertaining. Also, thank you to Dan for tapping into his toolbox of tricks to make every day be a chaotic and hilarious event.

Special thanks to Emma Fyffe and Bailey Meyers at Fandom for making the set for Giant Bomb @ Nite from scratch! They took a massive burden away from the Giant Bomb staff as they planned this bevy of content and deserve props for that.

Finally, many thanks to the guests that add to the fun and the moderators that are ensuring a fun and safe time during this eventful weekend. We're all in this together, so let's enjoy the show.

Giant Bomb YouTube Live Stream Account

I have seen a lot of people ask where Giant Bomb will be streaming its Talk Overs and night shows. Giant Bomb's chat will be up and every stream will also be on YouTube and Twitch when they go LIVE! For those of you that have issues with one of those choices, you have options!

We Talk Over: Summer Game Fest 2023 (By: Staff)

Hey everyone! Just a friendly reminder that the Giant Bomb @ Nite videos usually require a lot of work in post before they can go up on the site. If you absolutely MUST experience the magic again, or missed a segment, check out the VODs on the Giant Bomb Twitch account which I linked above.

Likewise, friendly reminder for the Summer Game Fest talk over, NBC Universal is blanket content blocking any stream archives of the event that show the trailer for the Twisted Metal TV show. As a result, that segment or portion of the stream had to be edited out.
