The Friday Bomb Drop makes a triumphant return this week, with a slight twist. Instead of Snide or one of the other fine staffers writing a summary of Giant Bomb's week, members of the community will have the joy of writing them from now on. This week I (MattyFTM) take the reigns, but it could be you in the future, this forum thread is where you can find out more.

This week Dave Snider has been asking the community for feedback on the Homepage and Profile page, and provides his observations from those posts. There hasn't been much in the way of reviews, but the news has been flooding in, and the community is still a hive of activity with plenty happening.

The Community is Still a Threat

Systech and Sweep join the usual suspects for episode 17 of Bomb Should Have A Face!

You might recognize some of the fine fellows in this Comic Vine video Snide blogged.

Yay, my article's up. Cool. Hope everyone likes it. And I hope I didn't miss out anything major. I didn't do the comic vine or anime vice stuff, snide did.

If anyone would like to take a stab at a User Review rollup each week too lemme know. It's great to have guys like Matty point out the best of what's going on the site. Sometime's we get lost in whatever working on and miss the goodies.

Guess this happens when you copy paste stuff over from text editors and the color is not set to "automatic" best stays to copy paste it to "block Notes" and then copy apste the text that is in block notes to GB.

I have to agree with get2sammy, this article looks awful in white and it's completely unreadable using the white layout, by the way NICE JOB Matty, you're our new Magnemite!

A few annoying grammatical/spelling mistakes and the fact it looks ass on the RSS and white layout but it's awesome to see a user-made article on the front page.

Yeah, that'll be my fault. I've never been great at spelling or grammar. I thought I'd found all the mistakes (I proof read it like 20 times) but obviously missed a couple. I'm sure the future writers will be better than me.
