Hello there! As the title suggests I currently have ten beta codes for the XBLA game Hybrid to give to you all and I'm holding a bit of a contest in order to determine who gets them! All you have to do is name the video that any of these quotes (one per person) that I have provided appear in. The first user to comment where a quote comes from wins. Simple right? Guess as many times as you like until you get a code, but when you guess correctly once please do not give away anymore answers! I've also made things easier for you all by including the names of those who said the quotes. Here we go and good luck:

Quotes (Warning Some May Be Paraphrased)

  1. "I don't own a Vita, this is the kind of dumb thing, kinda' stupid application I require from the Vita. It really is a game changer." - Ryan
  2. "Maybe now you'll remember to UPGRADE Ryan! Your other Ryan can remind you to upgrade" - Patrick
  3. "I want to go to space! To this crazy moon! Look at this FUCKING INSANE MOON!" - Vinny
  4. "THAT'S SOME FUCKING PATHOS! UHH THAT'S GOOD SHIT!" - Ryan
  5. "Is this game broken? You can tell me ya' know, if you know anything." - Jeff
  6. "Uhh Jeff don't look over your shoulder, bu there's a dude staring at you like he knows who you are." - Vinny

    Between the Time When the Oceans Drank Atlantis and the Rise of the Sons of Aryas, There was Giant Bomb

Welcome! 

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! For those that went to PAX East 2012 last weekend I hope you all had a fun but safe trip, unlike Sweep who got away with raping Dave. Also you may have noticed that like last week there have been almost no Quick Looks this week. Unfortunately Vinny and Drew are out of the office, and the engineers that are here are not video engineers. If you wanted to know at one point Alexis and Patrick spent about an hour trying to figure out how the capture equipment worked. As a result there's not much in terms of housekeeping other than the site engineers are still busy re-designing all of Giant Bomb. Finally here's GB user TurboMan's latest Best of Quick Look video:

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! You may or may not have noticed that things have been a little on the quiet side on the site. Between setting up a studio to record Quick Looks and preparing for PAX this weekend the staff have been strapped for time. Unfortunately the PAX East 2012 panel will not be livestreamed. Also if you are going to PAX East 2012 this week please stay safe and have as much fun as possible! You might find yourself laughing if you were to try and go to rivalvideogamewebsite.com now. Also Rorie is leaving Screened and is moving on to find work outside of both BermanBraun and CBSi, so please wish him the best of luck if you can.

As far as the Wiki goes please keep in mind that from now "International Versions" of video games do not warrant new wiki pages, instead describe them on pre-existing pages. There's a Temporary Giant Bomb FAQ in light of the CBSi buyout, but keep in mind there have not been any changes to the Forum Rules. If any of you are excited about the upcoming re-haul for the Giant bomb Wiki you can see hints of it on Dave's computer screen on this video. Also Dave news is if you plan on going to PAX East 2012 keep in mind Dave will holding free drinks after their panel at JJFoley's like last year.

Welcome 

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! It has now been a whole week since the announcement that Giant Bomb would be joining CBS Interactive and hopefully as you can see Giant bomb is still Giant Bomb.

For interested user the Whiskey media Store is selling the 2010  and 2011Membership Shirts for the discounted price of $10. That said you may have noticed that the meebo bar is gone and the footer has changed (don't worry a better footer is coming soon). The website Gameindustry.com has conducted a really interesting interview with Jeff and John Davison over here. Jeff was on a GDC themed Bonus Round at GameTrailers. Now with that let's have Big Boo start off this Spotlight:
