Special Thanks to Aurahack for This Work of Art This Week!

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight. I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host as always. Before we officially get started, please join me in thanking @aurahack for the AWESOME podcast banner that he made for The Beastcast this week! It's really great to see user art that just hits it out of the park like this. Now, onto the "State of the Site!" Firstly, if you ever have issues using the chat during a live stream to remember to disable your browser extensions. Earlier this week, some users reported that they were having issues with creating new game pages on the wiki. The engineers have remedied most of this particular bug, but if you are still having issues creating any types of new wiki pages on the database to report the issue here. The site recently launched a new feature that allows you to navigate to the last location of a thread that you previously visited. If you experience any wonkiness with this feature please report the problem here. With that we are done with the site housekeeping and can now move onto the meat and bones of the Community Spotlight!

Clip(s) of the Week

@rapid and the Giant Bomb Warframe Alliance hosted yet another AWESOME raid this week, and you can check out what insane fun they had in the following video. If you record a community event that you participated in feel free to drop a link to your video. I would be glad to help spread the word about the events you are hosting.

The Giant Bomb Weekly Gallery

Well...we still have plenty of "art" coming from the MS Paint Staff thread this week. I have no words to describe the latest creations this week...especially the MS Paint rendition of The Creation of Adam. Joseph Critelli on the other hand created a poster featuring Jeff for Unprofessional Fridays inspired by the movie UHF.
