Welcome
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! It has now been a whole week since the announcement that Giant Bomb would be joining CBS Interactive and hopefully as you can see Giant bomb is still Giant Bomb. The site however is still in transition and without interns so expect updates to the "User Created Highlights" and Bomb Shelter tabs soon but not yet. For interested user the Whiskey media Store is selling the 2010 and 2011Membership Shirts for the discounted price of $10. That said you may have noticed that the meebo bar is gone and the footer has changed (don't worry a better footer is coming soon). The website Gameindustry.com has conducted a really interesting interview with Jeff and John Davison over here. Jeff was on a GDC themed Bonus Round at GameTrailers. Now with that let's have Big Boo start off this Spotlight:
