Hello and welcome to the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! A couple of housekeeping things to show you before you should delve into the best of the Giant Bomb Community. Firstly you can see what the future holds for Giant Bomb by reading Dave Snider's March Engineering Update on the Whiskey Media site. Dave also revealed that "Wikis will be getting a complete rewrite this year. It will come with a consistent scoring system and full histories," so wait on that piece of deliciousness in the future. Engineer Mike compared the adoption rate of IE9 vs Chrome 10 amongst Giant bomb users. Also the Real Message board is alive and well:
Uhhh...yeah. Finally buzz_clik, Giant Bomb's very own artist has made a minimalists abridged version of Star Wars Episode IV.
