Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight, and I am honored to be your host as always. Let's enjoy our very own Mario party this week!
State of the Site and Housekeeping
Unfortunately there appear to be a handful of issues on the site worth mentioning. Firstly, if your premium subscription has mysterious disappeared the staff are asking that you contact support@giantbomb.com. If you have received a "The CSRF token is invalid," message on the site please let out a yelp over here. Finally the engineers are working on getting the notification system back to where it needs to be. With all of that noted let's get on with the latest episode of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight!
Clip of the Week
Special thanks go to @turboman for yet another awesome episode of his "Best of Giant Bomb" video series. Also...Oxyrain on YouTube added all of the Giant Bomb staff to his Tomodachi Life game plus Dave Lang and recorded a cafe conversation they had...for twenty minutes straight.
Awesome Artwork
A big THANK YOU goes out to @lcom for making an awesome batch of Dave Lang themed Valentine's Day Cards which allow you and your partner to enter the "Lang Zone" during the aforementioned February holiday. Paul Ryckert discovered how to use Photoshop. The Giant Blurb Tumblr account is still hitting it out of the park. spacedongle made a work of art featuring Drew wearing the Crocodile Hat from Metal Gear Solid 3. @humanity created an awesome banner for Dan's new "Danswers" feature, and @kirlia is the one to thank for the animated shouting/angry Drew this week.
