The Community Spotlight - 04/07/2011
By ZombiePie 33 Comments
Hello and welcome to the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! A lot has happened since we last hosted a Community Spotlight. For one thing the site has been completely re-designed! There was some tweaking since the launch and some hiccups but everything appears to be in place for this to be the face of Giant Bomb for days to come! Secondly you can now buy Whiskey media subscriptions via PayPal! As I have said before and I will say again...PayPal customer service is the worst so you better make the most out of this. As always there are a handful of Wiki Tasks you should feel free to reap to get some bonus wiki points! Other than that let's get this party started with the now notorious You-Tube video of the Diablo II rap featuring members of the Bastion development team:

Author's Note: Did I forget something? That because I'm reading up about what it's like being a private eye! Anyways Giant Bomb is a big site so in order to ensure the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight is a well versed feature with plenty of variety I need your help! When you see anything that's worth showcasing just drop a comment on this webzone with a link to the content and I'll remember to showcase it!
