Let's take a look at what happened on Giant Bomb in the month of November. Giant Bomb in Korea and the GT5 Quick Look were the most watched videos even though both of those videos dropped at the end of the month. You can bet GT5 is gonna be a huge topic all December too. Still, Call of Duty: Black Ops was the most wiki edited and blogged about game for the month of November.
Most Wiki/Blog Content on Giant Bomb:
Most edited wiki page: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Giant Bomb's most influential bloggers are listed below. The numbers are page views, but remember blogs also get posted to the forums where even more page views are to be had. I also added the +/- percent increase/decrease of page views compared to the month before for fun.

Rad Stuff Made by Our Community
We love you guys. We love you so much we want to put your amazing blog posts, hilarious videos and garrulous reviews on our "Rad Stuff From The Community" section on our homepage. If you made something or found something on Giant Bomb that is too good to miss, email the interns and me at INTERNS@WHISKEYMEDIA.COM and we might promote it on our home page.
Psst, you guys know TomPinchuk, right? Ya' know, one of the 5 guys who writes for Screened's home page. He also writes for Comic Vine, Anime Vice and wrote a published comic book and if you've ever met him you would understand why we have him write for 3 of our sites. His brain is an overflowing cauldron of popculture madness.
Often read, but seldom seen, Tom recently started making videos for our once host-less site Anime Vice -- you know, our red headed step child here at Whiskey media. And you know what, Anime Vice is a perfect place to let the mad genius that is Tom Pinchuk run wild on video. Tom's quest to learn and understand this Japanese medium that Jeff Gerstmann says "Is for jerks" is the focus of Anime Vice videos.
Fun Facts:
Tom made an audition tape for American Gladiators he'll never show you.
Grew up in Singapore.
Has no filter just a glorious stream of consciousness.
My last blog post detailed the most popular Giant Bomb user profiles. But what good is that? Examining profile page views feels like a high school popularity contest. Does a high view count mean you're a hard working member of the community adding value to the site? Maybe. But we can't really tell by simply looking at profile page views. We need more granularity.
To shed some clarity on the subject of why certain Giant Bomb members get higher profile views, I bring you a list of the top user blogs. Discuss.
I was just rummaging though our analytics data and thought it would be fun to see the most visited user profiles on Giant Bomb. Then I thought, hey some of you guys might find this interesting too. So for no real reason, here's who's popular, or who's viewing their own profiles over and over.
UPDATE: Adding 26-50

October has come and gone so let's look back at what got this community excited. But first, give it up for the top wiki mods for sifting through all those wiki submissions. If we had a way to measure the input of forum mods I would show that too because those guys are always working hard on policing the wiki for plagiarism, banning porn spammers and answering questions on the bug and edit forums. So yay mods!
Once again our charts are whacked, Danguy probably should read Zombiepie?
Fallout: New Vegas Dominates Giant Bomb's Attention
Take a gander at the bar charts below. No big surprise here, Fallout: New Vegas is the clear winner -- dominating the conversations on user blogs. Click to expand the two smaller bar charts below and you'll find Fallout: New Vegas was also the second most watched Quick Look (watch here) and the second most visited wiki page.
You sirs are in for a treat. A trick-or-treat. Today I will be live blogging Halloween at the Office! Let's kick this off with awesome pics of myself as a Boy Scout.
That shirt is 20 years old.

Drew as Dexter
I think anyone who knows Drew eventually sees the similarity between him and Dexter. They look similar, both are exceptionally smart, reserved, quiet and both are cold blooded killers. Dexter Morgan sans kill kit

Do you love Tested.com and radio controlled helicopters? Well so do I, which is why when Will and Norm tested their new Parrot AR Drone I decided it was time to wipe off the dust of my trusty Air Hog! So on a whim, Lemon, Daniel and I decided to try our hands at product testing, and boy are we bad it! What came of it is the very first Poor Man's Tested.
Ok so It seems I need a new Air Hog, I swear this thing flew in awesome circles when I first got it. Protip: don't let your dogs snatch your Air Hog out of the air if you want it to last.
Follow me on twitter (red_lamp) if you wan to be notified for the next installment of Poor Man's Tested. 9 Comments
Engineers are often temperamental nerds who work behind-the-scenes in basement dungeons in between WoW or Civ V marathons, and our head engineer Andy McCurdy is no different! Years ago, Andy championed our transition from PHP to Django and continuously evaluates new technologies. Being something of a mystery of evolution himself, he shows no fear in evolving out technology stack.
We met Andy way back in 2004 when many of us worked at Cnet together. In 2007 he became a founding member of Whiskey Media. Andy is our VP of Technology and is one of the most patiently helpful engineering tutors I have ever met.
Fun Facts (supplied by Andy)
Identifies with Dexter the titular serial killer.
Loves NFL and refers to Raven's players as his own.
Refuses to poop at work, in favor of his commode at home.
Red Neck Andy at NASCAR in Sonoma. No joke. For this investigative report, I recently spent an afternoon with Andy in his home town of Walnut Creek, California. At Urban Outfitters Andy modeled a jacket. Next he took me to a wine bar where we drank wine. Later that day he grilled a mean tri-tip steak. Renaissance man!
Southern Rock hair Andy and very fetching jacket.
Other Fun Facts
Married to a woman (sorry ladies).
Has a mentally handicap yellow lab named Titan.
HIs dog, Titan, once sprayed my house with the fish sauce stench of anal glands. I moved my family shortly after.
Over the next few weeks we'll be highlighting our pro-players here at Whiskey Media. The focus will be on the behind-the-scenes Top Men who get the job done day-in and day-out. First up is Whiskey Media employee #1 and partner, the Adidas Adonis, the Friendly Giant, the Questing Inquisitor, Sean 'SuperCoonce' Coonce.
Part time DJ, full time lover, Sean Coonce is our resident connoisseur of cool. Wake boarding, snowboarding, surfboarding, any type of boarding he's in.
