The Community Spotlight - 02/10/2018

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week. There's a lot to marvel over from the Giant Bomb community. The video editors among us had a blast with Abby's new "Thirteen Deadly Sims" series. In terms of games, the community is still buzzing about Monster Hunter: World and Dragon Ball FighterZ. Speaking of Dragon Ball Z, have you given the "All Systems Goku" podcast a try? With all this in mind, let's review the few bits of Giant Bomb housekeeping I have for you this week.

• Mr. Rorie is soliciting requests for online co-op games that would be great for future episodes of his "Co-Op Community Corner" series.
• A new ticket has been filed about scammy/exploitative ads on the mobile version of Giant Bomb! If you don't notice a change in the next few days, file a report using the link above.
• A Giant Bomb user found an old episode of Electric Playground from 1999 where Jeff won an NFL Blitz tournament.
