Sunday is meant to be your first weekend in the UK in a long time and feeling a bit disoriented. Before you sit back, let’s read the best gaming (and related) articles from this week.

(more…)

Welcome to the latest issue of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host once again as we look back at some of the best work the community has created over the past week!

The employees are back and recovering from their DreamHack convention performance. In case you missed any of the live streams, here’s an overview of what’s been posted so far, and I’m going to include stuff recorded by the staff on the way to the event. Also, as you can see in Dan’s tweet below, there’s a lot more to come!

Obviously, the most important news this week is related to THE GLORIOUS RETURN OF THE GIANT BOMB SHOP! Not only that, but the site is running a special promotion for those who live in the United States. If your order of goods exceeds $75, no shipping fee will be charged. For those of you ordering internationally, since the supplier is based in the United States, please allow 7-10 business days for all garments to ship and feel free to report incredibly ridiculous shipping and handling charges to support@giantbomb.com. Oddly enough, non-clothes orders are delivered faster.

For premium members, use the “Login” button above to access exclusive items! If your premium login is not working, there is a temporary fix/workaround you can read about in this thread! Also, keep in mind that the engineering team is working on a permanent fix right now.

Finally, did you know that it’s almost time for The Giant Bomb Community spring charity event known as the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run.? Only two weeks left before the event, and you can find out how to support it!

Actually it is worth noting that I will be participating in the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run., and if you like the Community Spotlight feature on the site, consider donating to my charity page. Even small amounts are welcome, and if you can’t make a donation, consider sharing the page with someone you think can.

Wiki of the week

3DO

The @borgmaster blog series was a good enough reason to honor the 3DO platform page on the site, especially since the console is celebrating 20 years since its launch. Was the console ultimately unsuccessful? Sure, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a story to tell!

for amendment

Good morning, good afternoon, have a nice weekend and welcome to Whatcha Been Playing? I hope this has been a good week for you, and that your area is starting to see at least something of nicer weather as we move into spring. You can see that I’m still trying to get some nasty malady out of the way – one that, as regular readers know, has been bothering me for weeks now. I think I’m getting better, but some persistent symptoms still get the better of me. Here’s hoping I can wipe it down this weekend.

Other than that, there is nothing more to report, I hope you all enjoyed this week. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailers. This is not a game for me, but I am very happy to see you all happy. In fact, we hope that we are approaching something special summer, with Zelda, Street Fighter 6, Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo IV, and all sorts of cool indie releases are all on deck waiting to keep us out of the sunshine. The season promises to be fun, and I don’t think anyone would want that, you know?

Out of your mind

This week, I continue to make my way through the rotten carcasses of sun-bleached bays, making my way through the long-awaited sequel. Dead Island 2. I’m afraid I can’t share my thoughts on the game right now, but be sure to tune in for my full review early next week. Also, I spent some time diving into a list of movies, old and new, in my constant effort to get my Watched Movies counter to show some of those old-school numbers—before work, sleep, and sickness. my spirits. I’m currently promoting 70 films for 2023, which isn’t too bad.

End of the End

Before you all get started on what I hope will be a great Saturday, be sure to take a couple of minutes to dig into the comments below and tell us all what have you been playing? Last week we managed to squeeze over 200 comments from the Destructoid community, many of which were long and sincere, and all of which were highly appreciated. People read your words. Not just me, but the entire community, so please share your thoughts on your recent gaming experience because people here want to hear all about it. Whatever is floating/sinking your boat right now, tell us all about it. I am very happy that you are a part of this.

Have a great weekend from all of us at Destructoid.
