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!

It looks like the Doctor will soon install the TARDIS in Fortnite.

Prominent Fortnite insider and data miner iFireMonkey tweeted over the weekend that they confirmed rumors that a “potential collaboration” is indeed shaping up as a two-week event that will include “a bundle of free quest rewards as well as an item shop.” cosmetics”.

iFireMonkey even thinks they know what the items will be too; two skins, a glider and an emote.

“There will also be a FREE Beep the Meep spray as a kind of incentive to check out the creative map associated with this collaboration, while the image below is not what the spray will be, it showcases Beep the Meep from Doctor Who, giving an idea of what this spray might look like/around it,” they added (thanks, GamesIntel).

And when? Rumor has it that it will tie in with the series’ 60th anniversary later this year, and could involve the Doctor’s longtime government allies, UNIT.

And we even have a sneaky screenshot of the alleged event:

ICYMI, A player set about recreating the Dark and Darker map in the newly released Fortnite Creative 2.0 mode after Dark and Darker was removed from Steam following an investigation after gaming company Nexon claimed its game (P3) was used as a prototype for Dark and Darker. .
