Hello, Giant Bomb community. Welcome to the latest edition of Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we take a look back at the best community-created deals of the week. Before we get to that, we need to discuss housekeeping related to the site. First of all, many thanks to Dave Lang for streaming for Giant Bomb’s Extra Life team and raising over $ 50,000! If you missed the fun, remember that the donation pages are open until December 31, 2021.
In terms of premium content, this week has had two big announcements. First, last Monday saw the debut of the voicemail dump truck. If you enjoyed Ben’s voicemail messages during the main podcast, they made it into their own premium show. Second, Jan is guided through the first game Silent Hill by Jess in a new show called “Run for the Hills”. Ultimately, premium subscriptions will be a sale until the end of the year. If you need a gift for another Giant Bomb fan, look no further.
