The Community Spotlight 2024.02.17

2 months 1 week ago

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 site-related news and best community creations from the previous week! For those of you that have enjoyed Giant Bomb's previous live events and panels, the staff's PAX East plans have been officially announced via the PAX schedule and it looks like a back-to-back PAX panel on Friday night, March 22nd, at PAX East! The staff will be hosting a live in-person VMDT and then follow it up with Dandoko Dare live!

The dates and times in case you wanted them.
The dates and times in case you wanted them.

Noted Detroit sports fan Jeff Grubb made a guest appearance on the Remap podcast to talk about the Lions' miracle season and the absolute heartbreak of how their season ended. For those of you that enjoy the NFL, this is obviously right up your alley.

@jearum, who has previously created some incredible Giant Bomb artwork and some of which you can still buy in the Giant Bomb Store, is going through a rough patch. To get through it, they are offering commissions at $40 for full color and background illustrations with an unlimited number of revisions. Whether you want them to make some Jan, Mike, Dan, or Grubb-based art or something completely unrelated to the site, they are open!

Finally, someone reached out to me to share that Giant Bomb stuff, including the Community Spotlight is appearing in the GameSpot News sidebar on GameFAQs and elsewhere on the Fandom network of websites. I was under the impression that this was not going to happen for another week or so. But, GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, Giant Bomb stuff is getting cross-posted across various Fandom sites. I can't reveal what the next steps are for this experiment, but based on my previous conversations with Fandom higher-ups, things are exciting.

A fun surprise.

The Super Bowl sure did happen last weekend and it was a blast for like... the last ten minutes. Regardless, Kone decided to combine Blight Club with one of the more memorable moments from the world famous sporting event.

Miquanchi Valentine's Day Card (By: @ogto)

Valentine's Day might be past us, but that's no excuse to not "bless" your significant other with a Valentine's Day card with Mike's fully dresses Quan Chi get-up! This is a real test of one's relationship!

Alolan Version Of Mike, Dan, and Jordan Middler As Digglets (By: @KinguAmoz)

To promote the Bombcast Revengance on Twitter, Giant Bomb edited a photo of Mike, Dan, and guest Jordan Middler as three bald Digglets just hanging out. KinguAmoz decided to have some fun with this and I encourage more of you to do the same!
