Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Community Spotlight! As you may have noticed the video section and news sections of Giant Bomb have been revised and rehauled. However for Whiskey Media subscribers you'll soon be getting even more goodies to play with such as the ability to embiggen videos. many thanks should be sent to engineer Alexis for making this possible. Also WM engineers are allowing for the use of HTML5 for videos. So please thank GB user rufo for providing a work around for users for the longest time. Worth noting is that the interns are doing their own video show as they plan to take over Giant Bomb. Finally Sweep proves in his Staff Photo Shop Archive Guide that we mods often spend a lot of our time...doing crazy and nonsensical things. With all that noted let's hand things over to mracoon as he presents the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Starlet:
Community Starlet Featuring X19
After a brief hiatus the Community Starlet is back. This week the title is awarded to the archiver of all things video on Giant Bomb, X19. Looking for a specific game on TNT or a specific appearance from a staff member? Then X19's got you covered. Seriously, organizing and sorting through all those episodes is no easy task so props to X19 (and his accomplice ZeekDaGeek for all their hard work on that.
Another one of his impressive guides is for the Giant Bomb Uncharted Clan. If you're interested in playing some Uncharted 2 multiplayer or getting some practice before Nathan Drake's next outing then the clan is for you. They get together every Sunday at 2PM PST but check the guide or PM X19 for full details on how to get in on the action.
X19 has also utilized the list function in a way it probably wasn't originally intended by cataloging all the Endurance Runs in a neat and tidy way. His other list compliments his blog of the same name and is probably what most people on the site know him for. If you've ever had a problem recalling the name of a game whether it be from your childhood or few days ago then X19's 'Can't remember the name of this game' thread is the first place you should go to. With the help of the community the name's over 121 games have been found, that's 121 less nagging thoughts in the back of people's heads.
That does it for this weeks Community Starlet and remember to give your recommendations of other users as alwaysWonderful Wikis
