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 creations from the previous week!
First, join me in wishing Dan a very belated Happy Birthday! As many of you already know, he's in the process of moving, which is why some of the site's normal programming has been delayed or pushed a week. That said, there was a new Game Mess Mornings on Thursday and Friday as well as a Unprofessional Fridays trailer recap show on Friday the week after the site's fantastic Not E3 2023 coverage.
Speaking of the site's Not E3 2023 coverage, here are some handy links for those of you that may have missed some of the big events.
- Podcast Versions of Giant Bomb @ Nite: Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3
- Video Archives of : Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3
- Giant Bomb Talks Over: Ubisoft Forward
- Giant Bomb Talks Over: Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct 2023
- We Talk Over: Summer Game Fest 2023
- Hey! I'm CityWalkin' Here!
Some videos are still in the works and will be arriving some time soon. Also, there's at least one "bonus" SGF 2023 video that may or may not hit the site in the future. Keep on the lookout for that.
@dtoast finally scanned the full statistics for the site's 2022 Community GOTY voting and posted them on the site. To the users that voted for Fallout 76, Dota 2, Dragon Age II, and/or Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment; you're the real MVPs of the voting!
Also, I realized in my "Thanks for Your Hard Work" that I forgot to mention @marino! Many of you relied on his "Not-E3 Time Zone Chart" to figure out when every single stream and conference would take place, and he even shared some stats on which conference was the favorite of the community. Marino also was the one editing the pinned messages on Twitch and in GB Chat to inform everyone who the guests were during each GB@Nite segment.
Also, who could forget about his AMAZING E3 Bombcast / GB @ Nite Guest Tracker which has been updated to include everyone who appeared this year! There are now over 300 different guests who have appeared on the show (including one dog). Thanks Marino, You did great work this year!

SGF interview prep with @tamoorh -- this is the kind of hard work that people don't see that goes into something like a big Giant Bomb at Nite interview or Audio Logs pic.twitter.com/V9rHwyPn8v

Razor’s Meltdown. The penultimate level in Ryckert’s Island. This small part of the level is probably my favorite section in the whole game!! pic.twitter.com/BzBTV70s3T

@_janjerome @JeffGrubb Thanks for the shoutout on the Bombcast. Also, regarding Jan's invite to @geoffkeighley, he's been to the night shows twice, so a return in 2024 would be cool.
He might have bad memories of the house in 2012 or maybe the tribal chief scared him in 2014. pic.twitter.com/eFQg2n1Kw8
