Hello and 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 community-created offerings from the last week. This coming week the site will be a little short staffed due to Danny and Jeff being on vacation. Danny will be in Ireland whereas Jeff will be moving to his new home. That said, Danny is planning to air this week's new Guilty Pleasure episode featuring none other than Matthew Rorie!
Speaking of premium content providers, Two Minutes To Late published a new episode of Albummer about Danzig sings Elvis, but also, they recently collaborated with the Cancer Research Institute! Click the link to see how you can help support their charity effort as well as enjoy some of the metal covers they have made for CRI! Additional premium content on the site includes:
- VoidBurger's Hot Takeouts: The Mario Bros. Movie Should Be Canon [Episode #1 is Free For Everyone]
- Bak 2 Skool 01: Electricity [Episode #1 is Free For Everyone]
- GrubbSnax Ep. 07: New Call of Duty, Crunchyroll Deal, and the Pizza Police [Full Episode Only Available For Premium Subscribers]
- The Very Online Show 02: The Emoji Illuminati [Full Episode Only Available For Premium Subscribers]
To double back to the Rorie and Jeff B., the two of them tested Discord Stages on the Official Giant Bomb Discord! There were a handful of hiccups and technical issues, but overall it was a fun attempt to have the staff interact with the greater Giant Bomb community. If you are interested in participating in future sessions, here's a link to the Giant Bomb Discord.
With all of that in mind, let's jump into the good stuff!

Giant Bomb Presents: Bak to the Future (By: @Howling_techie)
A lot of Giant Bomb users have pointed out the growing presence of Jeff Bakalar on the site and with their new series with Dan, Howling_techie decided to whip up some Jeff B. fanart!
Honey Bucket x Giant Bomb Logo (By: @Psykus0)
For reasons I am still not entirely clear on, the Honey Bucket themed Giant Bomb fanart is still coming in! First, we have Psykus0 on Twitter making a new logo for Giant Bomb themed to Honey Bucket's color scheme.
Honey Bucket Tribute (By: skullmillione)
But the Honey Bucket fan art doesn't stop there! skullmillione also had a go at making a fitting tribute to everyone's favorite Summer-time Giant Bomb meme.

12 years ago, we did a 48 hour marathon set of segments on QVC for The Beatles @RockBand (and met Joan Rivers!)
It was easily one of the weirdest 2-3 days of my life. This video documents the descent into madness. https://t.co/H2ypao0F8R
