Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight, and I am honored to be your host as always! How about this week we all agree to recognize as the guns a blazin' type rather than the "silent but deadly" type.

State of the Site

Do you miss listening to podcasts featuring the voice of Vinny? Well you are in luck as the site's number one Italian made a guest appearance on CNET's 404 Podcast with the topics ranging from the death of Internet Explorer to Mortal Kombat X. For users that are still having issues with the URL system, please understand that the engineers are working on a solution to the problem. The Giant ROM project hosted by @havochq now has SEVEN user created, Giant Bomb inspired, fan games!. Check out the domain and enjoy the wonderful creations that members of this community have made. Finally, Dave Snider and his wife welcomed a new child into their lives this year. Please welcome "DUKE SNIDER"

Clip of the Week

@theburlaplemur is BACK with a new edition of his Bitesize Bomb video series. For those that are unfamiliar with this series TheBurlapLemur seeks to find the funniest moments of EVERY Quick Look on Giant Bomb. A daunting but continually rewarding folly as you can see here:

Awesome Artwork

@dalai is the one to thank for the giant Dave Lang head that you may have seen during any PAX East live streams last week. @aurahack calls on YOU to join him in taking a stand against RUN GFB by cancelling your PAXW Network subscription. JohnMcFarland on Twitter has created an AWESOME pencil sketch of Dirty Dan Ryckert. @fobwashed brings clarity to Dan's love for all things Waluigi. Finally the giantbombquotes Tumblr has created a welcome banner for the state of Kansas using a pull quote from Dan.
