Many Thanks to  OllyOxenFree for This Photoshop Work!
Hello and welcome to the latest and belated edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! For those of you that aren't able to join us on the beta site there's some big news to discuss. The Wiki Tasks System is being scrapped and replaced with a flagging system that the engineers are still working the details on. However, there most likely will not be a Task System when the new site launches. For those that are part of the beta check out Jeff's exclusive beta article on problems he has with the Windows 8 App marketplace. Also currently exclusive to the beta site are transcripts of the scripts for the various parody videos for the Game of the Year videos and a new bug report about what has been fixed on the beta site. Matt Pascual is all set for the next Giant Bomb Extra-Life event on November 2nd! Finally ask yourself if you have smashed enough helicopters in your life yet.

Wonderful Wikis

CJduke is finally going to tackle his backlog starting with Limbo, and a certain hostile hamburger explains why he only uses Steam as his digital PC distribution platform. thabigred defends Patrick discussing spoilers and story details related to Binary Domain during the GOTY Bombcasts. hsvlad restarted his effort to play every game detailed on "1001 Videogames you Must Play Before you Die!" Mento entertains with a MS Paint webcomic as well as a blog related to the miscellaneous games he has played recently, and Video_Game_King has created an equally entertaining blog about a couple of "girl games" he played. MajorMitch explains why he found Thirty Flights of Love to be a bitter disappointment while PsEG grumbles about capacity issues in hosting Race Nights on Xbox Live.
