Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! You can always count on the Top Men to provide you with the best of the best. Case and point Dave Snider whose Blue's News account has been released to the Giant Bomb Community. Not only that but there's now a Young_Snide Twitter account that's worth a good chuckle. Not to be left out of the embarrassment Gary Whitta who started writing reviews professionally at the tender age of 18 wrote this "interesting" work of video game criticism. Now if you haven't checked out the Giant Bomb YouTube Channel then you are missing out on intern Walkthroughs for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Top Man Daniel wants to know what kind of Giant Bomb/Whiskey Media merchandise you would like to see in the future. On a more serious note the heads of Whiskey media would like for subscribers to know that Whiskey Media yearly members should not cancel your membership in order to change your credit card details before your re-up date on 9/9 as a CC change form is being made. Finally Ethan would like for all users that would like to see any of their blogs or features showcased on the Community Tab to know that if you send him an email at interns@whiskeymedia.com. If you send them a link to the content they will be sure to put it up!

Might as well advertise my latest two blogs. (It would have been three, but I am not (that) insane.)

If you need a wiki to spotlight next time you can spotlight my Blitz: The League page....originally I was just going to add credits but when I saw how horribly written the main page was I decided to fix it up and add a lot more written content.....not my best work but its a lot better than it was that's for sure.

DD/MM/YYYY IS RIGHT. IT GOES UP IN ORDER OF VALUE. Like hour:minutes:seconds goes down in order, imagine if it was minutes:hours:seconds, that is silly. :<

@Video_Game_King: Maybe, but that particular bomb is called "Little Boy". So in some ways, it goes deeper.

I almost missed the subtle one this week, so thanks for that.

Yea, I did, too. I don't even know who Derek Smart is, so this should be interesting. Also, I think Zombie Pie just downvoted my list of all this. Who's the tyrant now? Hmm? Hmm?

Derek Smart is the developer of Battlecruiser 3000AD and perpetuated what Wikipedia calls "the longest flame war in Usenet history." Our very own Dave Snider got into an altercation with Mr. Smart on Blue's News all the time. Read this really old Gamespy article if you have never heard of him before.

@keris: ZombiePie's been switching VGK's profile link with wiki links to history's worst tyrants for a while now. I almost missed the subtle one this week, so thanks for that.

Great spotlight as always. I think we need to hold a competition - or something like a competition where you don't win anything - to get people to make more lists, because it seems like it's always something you struggle to find enough of each week. It'd be nice if new lists from your followed people appeared in the sidebar like new blogs do. Or, hell, just being able to search for them (though I realize that there would be a huge number of "games owned", "GOTY" and "E3 stuff I want" to sift through.)

Ethan is requesting that people email links to their awesome community stuff to the interns because they're busy having chats to man and games to be frightened by, but couldn't they just visit this thread and pick out the best ones? I mean, you've pretty much done most of the work for them.

somebody (I wonder who) just opened up a fake brad account also:

PullingABrad Not Brad Shoemaker

Played some more Zelda 3D on the plane today. I wish there was a way to just switch between night and day... It is real tedious sometimes.

PullingABrad Not Brad Shoemaker

I got to play Quantum Conundrum tonight. For some reason, the game wouldn't let me pick up the chair in the first room and I got stuck. #PAX

Once again, ZombiePie, thanks for featuring my Arm Champs II blog, as well as our podcast (Joystick Tuggers). It looks like I have enough content here to keep me happy for the next week!

Thanks for including my Bodycount blog!

The recent discovery of Dave Snider's past life is truly one of this year's best moments. So good.
