The Community Spotlight - 06/20/2014

Special Thanks to for @brackynews for Giving Us
Special Thanks to for @brackynews for Giving Us "DRAKE CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!"

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight, I am your host as always! The site has officially recovered from E3 2014, and we are back in action! Before E3 2014 becomes a complete afterthought our very own @patrickklepek wants to have your feedback in regards to the site's coverage of E3! Whether you had an issue with any of the streams, or felt like their coverage contained gaps share your thoughts, in a civil manner, over here. Speaking of Patrick he recently made an appearance on GameTrailer's Bonus Round, you can get the links to the various streams over here. Patrick has also started a new podcast with @maxistentialist(Max Temkin) which is all about the television show LOST titled the "LOST Rewatch." GB user @eccentrix has set up a tube(synch) chatroom where you can chat while watching Giant Bomb videos 24/7. With that let's get on with the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight!

Clips of the Week

@turboman took time from his wrestling addiction to compile the best moments of Giant Bomb's E3 2014 coverage. @akyho combines Giant Bomb with the Persona 4 anime in a video tribute to Ryan. Finally the top video comes from @wallofbricks that compiles the most hilarious moments of the staff competing against each other.

Wonderful Wikis

Oh yeah...we have hit the Summer Gaming Drought. The notables this week are for WildStar and EA Sports UFC.

Best of Blogs

The top blog of the week comes from MikeLemmer, who decided to do something questionable...that being he decided to play Eve Online. Read all about his adventures and failures on his highly informative and entertaining blog. thatpinguino has two allocutions this week; the first being an extrapolation on how Splatoon is more revolutionary than most are giving it credit for, and the second is a deep look on the junctioning system in Final Fantasy VIII. Video_Game_King stretched his gaming juxtapositioning to a critical state with Penny Arcade and Doraemon as his featured games this week. Taking a note from Video_Game_King, smcn has a picture based Let's Play for 999. Mento's latest Comic Commish is all about the most prominent gaming moments of the first half of 2011. CottoneUD is still plugging along with Persona 4 Golden and has two new editions of his blog series. Despite the stupid title MooseyMcMan's blog enumerating his thoughts related to Watch_Dogs, Destiny, and E3 is worth reading. Speaking of E3 GB mod Marino has the video stats of which game trailers and E3 videos were the most popular, meanwhile DarthOrange listed out the five games that impressed him the most from E3 2014. FLStyle has an event list and itinerary for CEO 2014 for fighting game fans to review. Benspyda delineates why he's still playing Skyrim all of these years after its release. Sarumarine recounts every track in Mario Kart 8 and reviews them. bobafettjm is still doing great work on the wiki and you can read about his wiki related activity this week. Finally ArbitraryWater shares his conflicted thoughts concomitant to Final Fantasy XIII.

Fantastic Forums

The Steam Summer Sale is here! Remember to discuss your purchases and the discounts you are looking forward to on the Master Thread. Please thank both akyho and wallofbricks for making some fantastic Giant Bomb themed videos this week. Join the discussion as to how you think ad revenue for popular live streams and let's plays should be distributed. As already mentioned Patrick and Max Temkin have started a new Lost (T.V. show) themed podcast so discuss the points made during the podcast, or follow them in their journey on the site. Feel free to discuss your favorite new IP revealed during E3, Dead Rising 3 Super Ultra Whatever, and...if you would want free gas for three years or free Air Jordans for life.

Lovable Lists

In an attempt to thumb his nose towards a certain video game publisher/developer DevourerOfTime has annotated every game that had a presence at E3 2014 that featured a playable female character. Kindgineer on the other hand has taken the time to list out his top ten favorite games of all time.

Between this morning and last Wednesday I was bedridden; half of that time was spent sleeping, half of it was spent watching Lost. That is not an exaggeration.

"It's about the journey, not the destination" is probably trite nowadays, but abiding by it makes enjoying stuff so much easier. It might also be why Mass Effect 3 is my favorite in the series.

All of the stuff about time travel was interesting on concept but the show never really executed on it in a cool and coherent way.

@zombiepie: Well, for me, in Lost's case, enjoying "the journey" involved not understanding any of the time travel/island moving around/smoke monster stuff and sort of hoping it did actually make sense if you really analyzed it. Kind of like how using open source software feels safer because you assume someone is checking the source for backdoors and exploits, even if you aren't.
