Hello, everyone! Welcome to the latest episode of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight. I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created efforts from the past week. First, I want to apologize for something that another community member brought up last week. The previous edition of the Spotlight should have mentioned that last weekend marked the 8th year anniversary of Ryan Davis's passing. Ryan was instrumental in the site's founding and a key pillar of its rise. In the Tweets section you will find a handful of tributes and dedications to Ryan. Feel free to use the comments to share any of your favorite Ryan moments. With that in mind, both GrubbSanx and Borne to Run are in full production! If you are a premium member, you can watch the full versions of the first two episodes of GrubbSnax RIGHT NOW! With that in mind, let's jump into the site-related housekeeping!
- Danny is taking input and feedback about Borne to Run over on Twitter. This is about the production side of things, and not general gameplay advice. For example, subtitles have been requested and are coming next episode.
- Dave Snider found a folder on an old hard drive with a TOOOOOOOOOON of logos and decals for former sister-site of Giant Bomb, Screened!

My high school best friend Ryan Davis aka Taswell was a great guy and a funny motherfucker in a genuine and unique way. RIP to a real one. Thinking of you today.

8 years ago the world lost a real force of nature. An absolute champion. A wonderful nightmare. An act of kindness on his part legit changed my life. Love Ryan Davis. Thinking about his friends and family and everyone who loved him. pic.twitter.com/nrCMZ8ZRCO

Seems like a good day to remind people there are multiple series of This Ain't No Game to watch and they are still awesome. https://t.co/PtABOQyums

8 years to the day since Ryan Davis passed away, it still hurts a little.

GrubbSnax Selects Ep. 02: OLED Nintendo Switch and YOUR Questions! (By: Giant Bomb)
So, there are still a handful of users confused about how GrubbSnax and Borne to Run "work" for non-premium users. Below, you will find a video on the Giant Bomb YouTube account that takes the nearly 90 minute long show and whittles it down to 14 minutes. There will be a similar format for Borne to Run, however, the first episodes of both will be free for all users.
