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 community creations from the last week as well as the site-related news!
After a slight notification hiccup, Niki Grayson's 2023 GOTY list is up on the site. It is a great read that you should all check out especially those of you that feel unfamiliar with them.
This week marked the season finale of JeffJeff’s Bizarre Adventure: The Cowboy Bebop Gaiden. Over on our sister-site, GameSpot, Tam and Lucy announced that their show Spot On was renewed for a second season. If you missed the first season of their roundtable show, here's a link to a playlist.
Giant Bomb will be attending PAX East in 2024! The hope is to have at least two Giant Bomb-related panels, but things are still in progress. Also be aware for those of you planning to attend, all PAX East 2024 attendees (including Enforcers, exhibitors, staff, etc.) are strongly suggested to wear a face mask at all times while at the show. You will not be required to wear a mask, nor will you be required to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
Bakalar and Dan were both guests on a recent Never Been a Better Podcast Nextlander podcast. The podcast is mostly about things you should never do, eat, or probably even talk about. And... adorable pet kittens. Be aware that this is locked behind a paywall and Nextlander's $10 donation tier.
And considering that it has been a while since I last did, here are links to the unofficial Gaint Bomb Community Social Media Accounts I run and operate. If you are on any of these platforms, consider following them so you can be reminded of the cool stuff that is happening on and with Giant Bomb!

Other sites give their viewership one, *maybe* two Quan-Chis per stream... GB is different. pic.twitter.com/0kHAT812aB

OH MY GOD! The amount of fanart that came out this week in response to Mike's Quan Chi getup has been incredible! There's so much that I simply couldn't write intros to everything individually. Many of these works come from the Giant Bomb Discord, which you can join if you have not done so already.
If I missed some Mike Miquanchi fanart that you made, please feel free to drop a comment and I promise I will promote it next week!
