Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Community Spotlight! I am your host as always. As many of you already know it is PAX East 2014 this week! As always expect an awesome Giant Bomb panel on Saturday, 9pm EST. This panel will be stream on the site through Twitch. Anyways if you would like to see more embarrassing high school pictures of Jeff, relax! There are indeed more on Spam Musubi's Tumblr account. Speaking of funny images on Tumblr that are Giant Bomb related, GB mod Mento has "envisioned" the staff as contestants in Jeopardy. For many of you wiki editors may have noticed we have a major bug with the wiki system in regards to associations. Please rest assured that the bug has been reported, and if you have any issues report them to the mod team. With that let's get on with the next edition of the SPotlight!

Clips of the Week

@turboman is back with another great edition of his "Best of Giant Bomb" video series. This edition has the best moments from the Dark Souls II, Betrayer, Ground Zeroes, and Elder Scrolls Online Quick Looks (with a hint of Rorie). Oh and Dr. Tracksuit is back...remember that Dr. Tracksuit only accepts cash for operations.

Best of Blogs

Daneian discusses why Asura's Wrath is the best anime he has "experienced" in a long way. ArbitraryWater played a bunch of games ranging from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow to FTL Advanced Edition. Mento got a bit creative this week with a blog on games from franchises or developers he considers himself "loyal" to. Mento also circumnavigated the issues with the review system by publishing his negative review of Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall as a blog.

Fantastic Forums

First thing, if you haven't seen any of the N64 PAX East 2014 Royal Rumble videos...you are missing out and should check our discussion thread for the videos to catch up. Have games ever caused you to utter "whoa," or are there any big new games that you just don't care about? Well join the community discussions about both issues! That and we have a BUNCH of game discussion threads this week.

Lovable Lists

The first list comes from fisk0 who examines the history and evolution of Westwood's Command & Conquer franchise as well as the games that "borrowed" their gameplay ideas from the franchise. Rays_Gaming_Rantson the other hand is embarking on an effort to list out his favorite games of all time.
