The Community Spotlight 2024.02.10

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 and site-related news from the previous week!

It's weird to say this, but this week marks the 15th anniversary of the Giant Bomb Persona 4 Endurance Run! It is undoutedly one of the most important, foundational video series in the site's history. Feel free to chime in about still naming your video game protagonists "Charlie Tunoku" or watching the series a second or third time? Do you have a favorite moment? The "I looooove them balls" moment still gets me to this day!

First and foremost, let's give @pugtato a HUGE "THANK YOU" for shelling out the cash to get Brian Cox to record their now legendary Cameo for Mike Miquanchi. It's simply incredibly seeing what all of you goofballs are willing to do to show your love for this website.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the latest travelogue entitled Catch Me if You Dan, but there were some people asking about the impromptu reaction stream that Jan organized where other staffers watched Dan's travel video for the first time. While this promotional stream will not be formally archived on the site or YouTube, you can still catch it on the Giant Bomb twitch account.

Additionally, @jearum, a frequent creator of Giant Bomb related art, has updated their ko-fi account! If you want a blast from the past and are interested in seeing how long they have been making Giant bomb fan art, give it a gander. Also, if their art has ever brought a smile to your face consider sending them a donation.

Finally, with BlueSky now open to EVERYONE and not just to those that are able to snag an invite, here's a friendly reminder of how to follow the Giant Bomb staff and myself on the platform. I cannot guarantee that any of these will be people's preferred social media platform, but these are the staff accounts on BlueSky that I have been able to confirm are real. Also, if you find the Giant Bomb staff active on a different social media platform, drop a comment over here so I can update the list.

Where In The World Is Carmen Dandiego +

Giant Bomb's Blight Club: The Tortured Gamers Department (By: @kone)

With Dan traveling the world for everyone's entertainment, artist Kone played around with Photoshop to combine him with everyone's favorite continent explorer, Carmen Sandiego!

Likewise, if Blight Club ever decided to get into music-making, Kone has an album cover they could use that really captures the spirit of the series.
