Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again you host as we look back at the best creative endeavors of the community!Bow howdy do we have a lot to talk about this week. First, this might be the most exhaustive list of housekeeping items I have ever compiled for the Community Spotlight. Seriously, review the bullet points this week as there is a lot of important news you may have missed this week. Second, the Giant Bomb community wrote up a storm this week with an inordinate number of blogs and reviews. While both do not capture the comments or attention of works of art or videos, I implore you to go out of your way to read at least one blog from a user you have never heard of before. For people who enjoy writing, even a single comment of support can do wonders during this stressful period of time. Alright, with that little rant, let's jump into the housekeeping!
- No planned streams or scheduled live-videos on Monday as it is a U.S. national holiday.
- If you watch videos on Apple TV, check out this new user-created app with quality-of-life features that might tickle your fancy!
- We have an update on the Roku app not working! Try uninstalling the beta version and using the official release. If you are still having issues, post a bug report over here.
- We also have an update on the Giant Bomb API! Filtering user reviews by game is ready to use and releases should be filterable by game!
- Unfortunately, there's a new bug on the site impacting people's ability to watch videos on-site. If the "Play" button is not working for you on videos, please report the issue using this link!
- Screened celebrated its 10th anniversary and if you have not checked out the Screened anniversary podcast, you should definitely fix that! Speaking of which, Rorie published a blog on their favorite books, movies, and TV shows of recent.

6 years ago today, @VinnyCaravella announced @giantbomb East. That means GBEast has been a thing for more than half of Giant Bomb's existence (7/21/2008). pic.twitter.com/3MaQrk5aWw
