Many thanks to cikame for creating this animated .gif

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week! First, and foremost, I want to congratulate everyone for surviving the first month of 2019! As we enter the month of love, I think we can all agree that some big video game releases are drawing nigh. Crackdown 3, Far Cry: New Dawn, Metro Exodus, and Anthem all release in February, and that certainly makes things more interesting for the rest of us. With that in mind, let’s jump into the site related housekeeping!
