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 community offerings from the previous week. It's crazy to think, but we are officially in September! As fall creeps in, high profile video games are starting to come out. The big releases this week, by far, were Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 and Marvel's Avengers and you will find the expected assortment of discussion and online meetup threads for both games. Likewise, the PC community is enjoying the release of Crusader Kings III and all of its expected tomfoolery. With that all aside, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- Multiple users reported the RSS Feed was missing key videos and stream archives. The issue appears to be fixed, but if you notice any missing videos report them over here!
- The user-run Apple TV Giant Bomb app just got a handful of important updates last week! Read what they are using the link and feel free to suggest new features and general app improvements!
- Vinny was on vacation and will return on 09/07/2020.
- With the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, I thought it was high time to re-introduce this animated .gif to the Giant Bomb Community!

Clips
Jeff Gerstmann's Strangest Week Ever + Eating Vaseline? (By Giant Bombcast Clips)
It has been a while since I last promoted the Giant Bombcast Clips YouTube account and so, I decided to fix that. In the first clip you'll find Jeff talking about how the last couple of weeks have been like for him. It's a friendly reminder that the staff are going through the Pandemic and events of 2020 just like the rest of the world and we should all be understanding of their needs. The second video is a "fun" discussion about vaseline and its nutritional qualities.
