The latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight is up now over here. 

Here's this week's detritus so you don't have to hunt around for it: 1, 2, 3, 4.

I did threaten I'd do more this week.

I also recommend the Succession game, since it's wrapped up and everything.

Somehow, the comments manage to redeem this totally stupid blog I wrote. Can't say that's ever happened.

It would be awesome if my write up about Saints Row: The Third can be spotlighted next week.

I'm working on creating non de-synced versions of all of the archives, as well as reanimated versions of each part, and then also recreating 50 minutes of the preshow plug.dj party with all dem phat chatz and dope beatz.

So...much...encoding...and...uploading.

I hope to spread my love into your eyes and ears soon.

GG to y'all who pushed sick content out last week!

wow, wonderful.

As always I appreciate the plug, for as unsure as I am about how many extra page views such garners. Oh well. Maybe one day @Marino will find my work good enough to be put on the front page... or something.

Also whoever has changed Brad's default wiki image to what it is now....

You win. I don't make the rules. You just win.

Woo, thanks for this. I don't really spend much time on the community side of the site but I'm starting to think I should...

Good week for Giant Bomb! Great work, duders!
