In the latest update from the Giant Bomb community, excitement is brewing as fans anticipate the upcoming Game Awards. The community spotlight, hosted by a familiar face, highlights recent activities and offers a glimpse into the vibrant discussions taking place among members.
As many in the United States recently celebrated Thanksgiving, the community is buzzing with festive spirit. The host, known as @zombiepie, extended warm wishes for a joyful holiday season and shared personal tidings, including a birthday celebration on November 30.
However, not all news is cheerful. Several users have expressed frustration regarding ongoing issues with the RSS feed, which has hindered the ability to download premium podcast episodes directly from the site. The situation remains unresolved as key team member Jan is currently unavailable. The team, including Shawn, is actively working to identify and fix the underlying problems, but progress has been slow.
On a brighter note, a recent update has brought some relief to video watchers on the platform. Users can now enjoy the convenience of saved playback progress for both premium and free videos. This means that if you pause a video and return later, you can pick up right where you left off, enhancing the overall user experience.
As the holiday season approaches, the Giant Bomb Store is embracing the festive spirit with a special Cyber Monday sale. From now until December 2, 2024, shoppers can take advantage of a 10% discount on all orders exceeding $10. The store has also introduced a range of new merchandise perfect for gift-giving, which includes:

Mark your calendars for December 11, as Giant Bomb prepares to cover The Game Awards with a special live event. The evening before the awards ceremony, the team will host a live edition of GB @ Nite, featuring popular host Jeff Grubb and a rotating cast of guests. This event promises to delve into various topics, including predictions and discussions surrounding the awards show.
