I'm extremely honored to have made this list! The first time I manage to put my heart into something, and it pays off!
 
Thank you ZombiePie. From me and from the rest of the community. :)

hey zombie, something you could mention, or bloglink here, that Nuclear Dawn is free this weekend on steam.

Spotlight's super busy with GOTY stuff this week, which is no surprise. I don't envy you having to compile even more of it in the last two spotlights of the year.

Those blogs look rich. Holidays are for reading. Let's read. A week indeed.

This.

I think I've made a pretty interesting Top 10 of 2011 list.

The Persona 4 x Giant Bomb stuff kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiills me! On another note, fellow duders and I are making a game, check it out.

focks_macleod made it in! Good stuff, his videos are great.

God bless the person who made that Persona x GiantBomb video

Yeah they are great, but if you want to follow the guy who made those or tell him how great a job he did this is him.

Well crapbaskets the video was taken down by Sony.

Thanks everyone for all of the support. It's a real honor to be featured on the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight!

I've re-uploaded my videos to blip.tv and MultiUpload since they were taken down from YouTube. You can see them all here: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/focks_macleod/persona-4-anime-x-giant-bomb-endurance-run/30-89155/

@Focks_MacLeod: Those videos are great man, keep up the good work

Agreed.

here is my top ten 2011 games list http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/topcat/best-of-2011/46-69470/

Again, my latest blog.

I made a dubstep web app that was anecdotally related to GB - http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/giant-bomb-inspired-dubstep-web-app/528799/#94

Dunno if that counts or not, haha.

I'm pretty proud about my work on this http://www.giantbomb.com/witchers/92-3876/

I think the first in my series of posts on science and games is worthy of a mention. Tell me what you think:

Just in case there aren't enough of them this week, here's my top ten list for this year.

Been A Long Time since I submitted stuff to this...

I started a new Podcast call TheReviewcast. Here is Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, and Episode 4.

I also am working on a new original Quicklook knockoff Series called TheReviewcast: First Impressions here is a first impressions of Fate of the World: Tipping Point.

The latest Spotlight is up over here.

I would've made this list an actual list but I did it as a blog post before I realized I could've done it as a list. muh bad. Here is a list to the top 10 best games of 2011 I didn't play (and why)
