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 week. But, let's talk about some site-related news first!
First and foremost, let's give a big round of applause for @marino for organizing and tabulating this year's edition of the Giant Bomb Community GOTY voting! The results are in and congratulations to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for taking first place after over 700 of you voted. You can see a lot more stats and details in Marino's results post.
The notification system on the site should be fixed! If you @ someone, they should get a ping/notification that you said something to them. You should also be getting updates about reviews, blogs, and lists your friends posted on the site!
@dtoast has an update on what steps he has taken to report and advocate for a quick remedy to the current issues with the site's video players. It's not a massive update, but they do want you to know that he continues to bring up the problems you are reporting in every meeting and continuing to file reports about problems helps him strengthen his case.
In happier news, Jan is back and Jeff Grubb has defeated Ride to Hell: Retribution! If you missed this edition of Blight Club, the entire series is on the site as well as on YouTube! Relive all 15 hours of the glory whenever you want!
With all that in mind, let's start this edition of the Community Spotlight!

One of my favourite things about researching bad video games from the 2000s is how often the "Reception" section is just an @alex_navarro quote. pic.twitter.com/FWvx202dbh
