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 creative endeavors from the community!
The first, and probably the most important, bit of housekeeping is related to "Ranking of Evil," which recently published its first episode. The confusion stems from whether or not Ranking of Evil will be free or a premium exclusive after its first episode. As Jan state in the comments of Episode 1, "Ranking of Fighters was a free show, Ranking of Evil will also be a free joint too." Additionally, future episodes will publish on Mondays and the hope is to release a new episode every two weeks.
Speaking of which, let's review all of the wonderful programs you may have missed if you blinked for even a moment. Then, let's jump right into the wonderful things the community has created!

"Bombcast Moments" For $400 (By: @jearum)
As the work of art from jearum might suggest, Giant Bomb could warrant at least a question on Jeopardy, possibly even its own category. There's a lot of gold to mull over.
Jan's DELI GANG Tattoo (By: @kone)
As Kone puts it in their blog, in a different timeline, probably one miles better than our own, Jan got the tattoo he joked about in the 706th episode of the Bombcast.

I have daily screenshots going back 13 years. This month, ten years ago some friends of mine had the really dumb idea to have a random phone in our office that the Internet could call into at any time. I remember a lot of time being spent finding the perfect looking phone. pic.twitter.com/WuPwa1gXzf

This is the oldest advertisement for Nihon Falcom I could find when I was doing research last year. It's an ad for their computer shop from the September 1981 issue of I/O Magazine. You can find the other Falcom ads I collected here on Giant Bomb: https://t.co/Zwo2m8I72n pic.twitter.com/gozU3fIHRl
