Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight. I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best user-generated efforts from the last week. For those of you that tuned in to the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run, a hearty thanks is in store for you! The charity effort nearly raised its lofty goal of $15,000! If you missed out on the fun, don't worry. You can still donate to the team page and to any team members! If you could, check out some of the streamers that did not reach their fundraising goals and help them get a little bit closer! The link to the team page are included in the site-related housekeeping. Beyond that, it was a relatively quiet week with new releases coming out in a trickle. Something tells me this year's "Summer Game Drought" will be especially brutal. Let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- Again, here's a link to the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run Team Donation Page. Even if all you can do is spare a few dollars, your contributions are greatly appreciated. For example, here's a link to my Pencils of Promise donation page which is less than $80 away from reaching its fundraising goal.
- The GBCER's charity, Pencils of Promise, does NOT remove old charity pages or teams. Therefore, you can contribute whenever your finances allow.
- Jeff Bakalar thanked the community for welcoming him into the GameSpot and Giant Bomb fold. If you have not given Jeff a hearty greeting, join the rest of the community using this link.

You know @alex_navarro loves "Bad Music". In 3 hours of playing the likes of Savage Garden, Sub Urban, Hautewerk, and Brooks & Dunn, he scored a total 18 Full Combos.

The idea of stealing a UPS truck crosses my mind at least once a year.
