Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host as we look back at the best from the community. This week, we have a lot to review in terms of staff and site news, so let's jump right into it!
Calvinball just published a moderate update to the Giant Bomb QoL app. For those that do not know, this app provides an assortment of quality-of-life improvements you can read about in the thread linked above.
Mike Minotti was a guest on a MinnMax Trivia Tower wherein the winner got $1000 and it was a fun time. But, be warned. Mike was in his peak form. Click the link if you are interested in watching the archive if you missed it live.
Speaking of fun things the staff are doing elsewhere, Evil Uno announced that Mystery Wrestling 4 is LIVE on October 22nd and his guest on that date will be Dan! This is a live, in-person event at Centre Aydelu in Gatineau, Quebec. You can buy tickets over here!
Fandom's Senior Producer, Emma Fyffe has been on the site this week and that will continue into the future as well. You can catch a new video essay that she posted on GameSpot to get her style and gaming mindset. While it might be a shock to see new faces leading podcasts and Quick Looks, the Giant Bomb Moderation team expects civility and respect to all staff and guests that exist in any editorial or video content. Constructive criticism is certainly appreciated, but always keep it civil.
Finally, here's an incredibly exhaustive update from Bakalar about the issues with the Premium podcast feeds still giving people podcasts with ads from the Giant Bomb Discord! Currently, GMM Premium should be fixed. You must be logged into the site in a Premium environment to grab the RSS feed on any GMM published show page with "Premium Audio" selected. As mentioned last week, any reports of issues will be Tier-2 Priority (highest priority without alerting everyone in Fandom). If any premium feed is sending you podcasts with ads, you have three choices on how to report the issue:
- Go to the Giant Bomb Discord and drop a comment in "site-tech-issues" but please ping @dtoast.
- Go to the Bug Reporting Boards on the site and file a report (still ping dtoast)
- Use Zendesk: https://giantbombhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
