Hello and welcome to the latest edition of  the  Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! Let's get on with site announcements. The website Known Griefers have done an interview with our very own Patrick Klepek worth reading if you haven't already. Also related to Patrick is this week's edition of his Worth Reading series. Matt Kessler's Skyrim Daedric Quest video guide has become the second most viewed Giant Bomb YouTube video. GB user  and former intern   EpicSteve is back in Afghanistan, but he wants to be able to keep up with the latest reviews and news about video games. So he's asked for members of the community to email big reviews and important articles to him at beynon@live.com. Finally Giant Bomb has uploaded its 1,000th Quick Look! Mission Accomplished! Anyways as always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter   and to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on the front page of Giant Bomb. With that rejoice ask yourself how much better would Asura's Wrath be if Brad was the main character: 
 Pretty Awesome. 
 Pretty Awesome.

 SSX is the new release getting the most attention this week. If you are interested in the game but don't know what it is all about check out Giant bomb's wiki article for the game. The giant bomb continues it's appreciation of the Megaten games with its good work on the Devil Survivor 2 page. Finally to commemorate Dave getting his pizza mailbag check out the Community's passion for pizza on our wiki object page for the delicious object. 

Best of Blogs 

The Giant Bomb Community is getting creative this week! The major highlight this week would be user MikeFightNight's Blu-Ray boxed set of the Persona 4 Endurance Run. To top that users CL60, Robster, and Jan are all dabbling in the dark arts of 3D modeling. The Community also continues to write about the PlaySation Vita with user RainVillain writting his first impressions and Enigma777 talking about the little things about the Vita. User Chubbaluphigous has gone a different route when it comes to assessing the Vita. He's written a blog reviewing the Vita's K-Pop playing and streaming abilities. PAX East is around the corner and if you plan on going check out Marino's updated PAX guide. Engineer Mike is the master of Battlefield vehicles, and there are still plenty more blogs worth looking at.

 If you wanted to know how the "Random PC Game" video series has progressed over the times look no further than Mento's latest list. In Doppelgamer's list he's come to surprising conclusion that he's played a lot of games with ninjas in them. Finally check out and add suggestions to Moncole's list of hooded characters.  

Useful User Reviews

GB user Salmon has taken the time and money to import Gravity Rush and has written a review about its importability and playability.  Also Intern Perry is writing user reviews instead of getting the staff sandwiches! Some contact Jeff!

This is Why I Can't Grow Potted Plants

I'd like to grow herbs like basil, cilantro, and chives, but they always end up crushed and wilted. I think I have an idea why:

If you wanted to know she's not taking a crap. Instead she just really likes to sit in pots despite being obese. Anyways on Anime Vice I continue to review the inappropriately titled Bodacious Space Pirates, and on Giant Bomb am making a probably ill-conceived effort to break the 100,000 wiki points mark on Giant Bomb.

 Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! So it seems that Patrick's Worth Reading series of articles showcasing great pieces written on other sites will become a weekly feature. If you didn't read last week's edition check it out. Also it seems that Patrick has descended into the shadowy no-mans-land of The Thing movie ending conspiracy theories. There are a good batch of sizable Wiki Tasks in the Giant Bomb task Queue. If you didn't notice Giant Bomb is about to accomplish the amazing feat of uploading its 1,000th Quick Look! So in the mean time rejoice in the videos that are here and go back to your favorite video.  Finally as always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter  and to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on the front page of Giant Bomb. With that rejoice in Justin McElroy accomplishing his challenge from Jeff and Ryan:

 Welcome to a Very TWISTED Spotlight. 
 Welcome to a Very TWISTED Spotlight. 
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! As far as house keeping goes there's just a few thing to talk about. Patrick Klepek realizes he can't cover everything that happens in the video game industry so he's written a blog about newsworthy articles from other sites worth reading. Earlier this week Jeff was on a Livestream for TWiT and ended up slow dancing with Brian Brushwood...you can see that over here. For British users Jeff would like to remind you that when writing on the Giant Bomb wiki that the American English spelling for words is preferred to the British English spelling. Finally as always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter  and to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on the front page of Giant Bomb. With that here's the latest edition of the Best of Giant Bomb Quick Looks By GB user TurboMan:

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! As you may have noticed the publish date for the GB Community Spotlight is being moved to Fridays as I can't commit the amount of time they require on Thursdays. Another important announcement is that "PlayStation Network (Vita)" or PSNV has been added as a new platform to the database. The True Crime: Hong Kong Wiki Page is being renamed to "Sleeping Dogs," thus a separate wiki page for Sleeping Dogs is not needed. Anyways these site announcements aside always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter and to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on the front page of Giant Bomb. Finally remember to ask yourself "Are YOU Afraid You Might Get Launched Into the Sun?"

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! With this week coming to a close I see you have all survived a complete week without the Giant Bomb Chrono Trigger Endurance Run. Anyways let's get on with site announcements. If you had any issues with creating or adding games to user created lists earlier this week rest assured the issue has been fixed. A Giant Bomb pull over black hoodie is available to purchase at the Whiskey Media Store. Jeff has reset the Trackmania 2 server tracks so if you feel like there omissions in the track selection comment over here. A new Jeff fact is that he is now Reddit famous...which is a lesser form of internet famous.   Finally as always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter  and to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on the front page of Giant Bomb. With that I implore you to watch this video and see how many time Ryan has said "Uh" in the last week on Giant Bomb videos:

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! Well with the conclusion of this week the site marks the end of the Chrono Trigger Endurance Run with Episode 42 being the last of the video series.

Head of Marketing Relations Daniel Miesner has announced that the Tested Blockhead and Giant Bomb Throwback t-shirts have both sold 1,110+ units each.

   No Really Welcome to the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight!    
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! There are a couple of site announcement but other than than that the site has been quiet due to the winter video game drought.  While Whiskey Media did not participate in any of the site blackouts in protest of SOPA and PIPA they would like you to be aware they are adamantly against the bill's passing. Intern Perry turned 21 on the 13th! If you haven't seen any of the video coverage that Tested has done of CES check it out because their video coverage of the event is all awesome. Finally as always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter and to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on Giant Bomb .  With that I end this week's worth of housekeeping to show you all the latest of GB user TurboMan's Best of Quicklook videos:

Me and Anime Vice

As you may or may not be aware of I'm a regular user of Anime Vice one of Giant Bomb's sister sites. As the story goes Anime Vice use to be Political Base, the first Whiskey media site that was eventually closed down due a lack of original users flocking to the site. Political Base's guts eventually were re-structured into Anime Vice and for a while typing polticalbase.com would re-direct you to Anime Vice. But things have ended up (for me at least) to become more than just a nostalgic relationship of what use to be. I enjoy the site and visit it at a rather consistent basis. More consistent than my viewings of Screened, Comic Vine and Tested.

Besides this I'm a bit of a film historian and have a bit of a specialty with American/Western animation which in part is a result of my college studies in history specializing in modern Californian history as well as the history of the west.

Anyways I originally started to contribute editorial content to Anime Vice a year go, but I didn't contribute editorial content at the most consistent rate. However recently I was invited to be a part of Anime Vice's coverage of the Winter simulcast season and for all of winter will be working on reviewing and writing content for them site. So if you see my username attached to any articles on the site don't freak out and also feel free to check them out and critique them.

P.S. I'm not leaving nor am I resigning from any obligations on Giant Bomb. If this disappoints you go cry more.

Welcome One and All!

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! Now onto the site announcements worth talking about. Engineer Alexis is working on a wiki redesign stuff that Dave is saying is looking pretty amazing. It's going to be a longer project, but expect major cleanup on the way wikis are formatted and written soon. The "Download/Play Now" and "You have 1 New Message!" ads are gone forever. If you see any send an email to daniel@whiskeymedia.com. New t-shirts and a poster are available to purchase at the Whiskey Media Store. Jeff was named the 12th "Biggest Celebrity in the Video Game Industry" by Complex.com. If you are a subscriber check out the second and third parts to the behind the scenes videos of the Game of the Year Content as well as the latest Jar Time video. As always remember to check out the Bomb Shelter for the latest and greatest in community created content as well as to email interns@whiskeymedia.com to get content on the "Rad Stuff" tab on Giant Bomb.
