Twitter Icons
We now have a tweet icon tweet icon found on the majority of the content around the site. One problem you might notice is the icon being overlapped on the front page of user profiles. We hope to have that problem resolved soon.
Video Features
If you’re not an avid viewer of Today on the Spot, you should catch up on the latest features located in the Producer’s Note. Be sure to let us know what you think!
Game Night Schedule
Next Tuesday’s game night will be Forza Motorsport 3 on the Xbox 360. The game night will offer the three emblems, and the US/UK/AU editorial staff will be hosting game nights for their time zones on November 10. Also, if you bring a GameSpot-themed car, we may have an additional treat for your profile!
Mod of the Month
The mod of the month for November went to m0zart. As a registrant of the site since 2003, m0zart became a moderator in 2007 to offer volunteer services in many areas on the site. Thanks for your contributions over the years, m0zart! Also, if you’re interested in chatting it up with the moderators, you are welcome to drop by the Collective Moderator Union.
Member Spotlight: Talonfire
This week’s member spotlight exposes old-school games in his blogs. Much like Talonfire's former old-school editorials, the Command and Conquer feature shares details about the history, gameplay, design, screenshots, and much more. If you never played the original game, you should at least understand why this game meant so much to gamers in the early '90s; it offered single-player campaigns and an online multiplayer game experience.
