Welcome to the sleep-deprived edition of the Community Spotlight. Skillful editors take my tired ramblings and turn them into quality articles so that you can understand what I write on days when language fails me and take-home exams are bleeding me dry.
Michael Epstein starts with his look into the Infinity Ward scandal and its effects on the Modern Warfare franchise. Mark T. Whitney is next, giving you the lowdown on Nolan North’s career and what you might have seen/heard him in.
Michael Bellmore’s account of his life in various game-themed vignettes is original and captivating, but prepare yourself for a wave of nostalgia to hit as he describes early life in arcades. Nick Giunta follows with his take on why it’s great that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 doesn't allow players to go prone while on stakeouts.
We close the Spotlight with a reminder of the long-running Meet the Mob series. If you’re new to Bitmob, check out some of the introduction articles written by your fellow community members and write your own. You’re part of the Bitmob universe so we’d like to know who you are.

Mark has compiled a convenient list of facts, titles, and videos to better acquaint you with the hardest-working man in video-game voice acting.

No Prone, No Problem
By Nick Giunta
Most first-person shooters allow your characters to lay down flat on the ground to observe, crawl, and spawn camp. Going prone is an expected option for many players, but the team behind Battlefield: Bad Company 2 decided to balance things by not allowing players to go prone at will on a stakeout.
