Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best creative endeavors from the Giant Bomb community! This week we have what I can only describe is the greatest amount of blogs and thread I have seen in a single week! Good work to everyone who shared their impressions of games and current events to the community as it is much appreciated! Also, with the announcement of a new Skate game, I thought it would be "apt" to link to an old video I think has aged as gracefully as you could ask. Anyways, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- Juneteenth recently passed, and many thanks to the community for helping Giant Bomb's Color Of Change charity page to raise over $25K! Keep the donations rolling if you can, spread the word, keep fighting, and Black Lives Matter!
- Alex made a guest appearance on the MinnMax podcast, which, for those unaware, is a new video platform run by former Game Informer employees.
- ATTENTION! If you watch videos primarily on macOS or iOS, a user is testing out a new GB Video Player that might be right up your alley!
- Attention users who use Chrome! TheAdmin made an extension that allows you to add an individual video to your watchlist and view the site in a "Light Mode!"

Bloodborne Artwork Updated & Fortnite with St. Vincent (By: @humanity)
Humanity hit it out of the park with TWO magnificent works of art this week! The first work "updates" a Bloodborne banner they made a few years ago that featured Jeff getting ready to take on Bloodborne. The second image creates a banner for a video series that may not ever return, but who are we to judge?
Clips Of The Week
Giant Bombcast - 02/23/16 - "#skate4" & Giant Bomb "#skate 4" UPDATED (By: bananas & Tony Zuniga)
With the announcement of a new Skate game, I felt that was a good enough excuse to share what I consider one of the best animated Bombcast videos on YouTube. Also, someone took the original video and "edited" it to include the Skate 4 announcement.
