The Community Spot Light 10/24/2014!

What? Yes! Community Spotlight is GO!

If you're wondering why I'm doing it, it's because @zombiepie is indisposed, and I offered to do it in his stead. Wish him well, everyone! I apologize if this is a confusing mess compared to what ZP usually does. I'm also really sorry if you did something he would have highlighted, but I missed. This was all super last minute!

Extra Life Streams?

Seems as though some people are hell bent on competing with Giant Bomb's 96 hours of Extra Life Streams this weekend, but I'm gonna link to them anyway! (But go to the regular GB chat page any time for official shenanigans).

Don't forget to donate, either! Go to http://www.explosiveruns.com/ for a probably better formatted thing than this. Or go here? I dunno! (I'm playing up my incompetency as a joke.)

Actually, it seems user @james_hayward did all the work for me and made an extensive list of all the community streams!

Check it out: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/extra-life-2014-community-streams-tv-guide-1497482/

I do know that I may personally be showing up on one (or more?!) of them, so look out for that! Which ones? Why would I give that away?

Welcome to the Blog-Zone!

• I wrote something cool about some Nintendo games and also how I'm still sorta playing Destiny.
• Mento wrote like, SEVEN blogs this week, or something. He's been doing one every day this month! Give his hard work what it deserves!
• @samstrife: Wrote about Space Station 13! What is that? A space station, silly!
• @thatpinguino: Got all spoiler-y about Bastion! Also, if you haven't played Bastion yet, why not?
• @gunstarred: Wrote about a weird Japanese Taxi game. No, not Crazy Taxi.
• @masterofchaz: Wrote about being trapped in the closet. No, not that sort of in the closet, the literal kind. Trust me, it's a good blog, read it.
• @sparky_buzzsaw: Wrote about the newest Borderlands game. There's also a Ric Flair gif in there.
• @pickassoreborn: Wrote about his time in game development. Fifteen years worth!

And that's it for this week's Spot Light! Oh, right, the other sections.

Reviews Revue.

Never mind that that's not what "revue" means.

• @joe423Wrote a spoiler-free review of Dangonronpa 2! Did I spell that right? Check the review to find out!
• And uh...................Hm...........

Lists List.

• @doppelgamerMade a list of console games that would benefit from mouse control.
• @brodehouse Wrote a couple of Lists too! About games! (List 1 & List 2)

Forum....Land.

• Share your Shadow of Mordor screenshots!
• Something about game magazines!
• Complain about that Korra game that @unastrike deleted his save in!
• @fobwashed is making hats? Maybe? Bug him about it!
• Talk about replaying games and not feeling the same as you used to!

I think that's everything? Actually, that's probably only a fraction of the stuff worth highlighting from this week, but like I said, I threw this together at the last minute.

Please get better soon ZP, this is hard work and I'm half-assing it. Also, tell me if I linked things incorrectly, I haven't done this before. I'll try to fix any mistakes I made.

Ha, within seconds of this going up and I get a site maintenance error. Also, is this literally the first ever spotlight not helmed by zombiepie??

Regardless, GG mooseymcman. You done your damndest.

@yummylee: Thanks! Did you do anything good this week? I kinda just went through ZP's Twitter for stuff, so it's very likely that I missed some good stuff. I'm willing to edit in good stuff if you've got it.

@mooseymcman: Nah, I ain't done shit this week, though there's these two lists here (List 1 & List 2) by @brodehouse that might be worth putting up.

@yummylee: Thanks!

Our very own @jasonr86 wrote a book and you didn't include it here @mooseymcman? Not cool.

Anyway, here is an Amazon code to download it if any of you would like a copy: GSCZDTF6YUXHJ59.

@darthorange: Well, something like that, where it's being sold for profit kinda vears into self promotion. I'm not gonna moderate it, or anything, I'm not a monster, but unless it's a Giant Bomb related short story, I don't know that I should be promoting it or not. I'd have to ask ZP, who, like I said, is not feeling well.

Thanks for the code though! I should figure out how to get codes for my books. Or did you buy it and get the code? I don't know how these things work.

EDIT: Actually, I think someone else got the code before me. It's not working. Either that, or I'm inputting it in the wrong place. Well, I'm assuming from your wording that the code was meant for me, it's equally possible you meant it for anybody, in which case that's fine.

this is different and strange and that frightens me. in all seriousness though, ZP is ok, right?

Awww. Thanks buddy.

The story is not about GB so I announced it on my blog but didn't link it to the main forums because it sounded like self-promotion and assumed it would be against the rules too. But if you want to mention it I wouldn't stop you...

Wow. I mean, I did offer to help Zombie with these like two years ago.

I can't believe he didn't call me.

You took a pretty good shot at dumping out all of this sweet info for us though, @mooseymcman. Good job. Would read again.

@sgtsphynx: ZP is fine. He's not gonna die or anything

@fattony12000: Thanks!

I wrote about Saint's Row DLC. Enjoy?

I'm back.
