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! Well, everyone, it is finally here. The looming monolith that is E3 has finally reached us. With that in mind we will be keeping things on a slightly educational bent this week. Needless to say, the content this week will be heavily based on the soul-draining video game conference. Now why don't you lock me up and throw away the key?
Want to know what the schedule is for the staff? Well luckily for you Jeff went ahead and created this article that outlines what their plans are for the week.
The Giant Bomb Moderation Team want YOU to have a fun time on the forums during E3 2016! Here's our guide on how to make it happen and avoid getting in trouble.
The banner contest is actually CLOSED, but you should still feel compelled to check out the wonderful, and occasionally horrible banner creations that the Giant Bomb community managed to scrounge up this week.
