Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight. I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host as we once again look back at the best community-created works from the past week!
First, I want to start things off thanking all of the community members that showed up last weekend to support the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run! Thanks to everyone's hard work and support the event was able to raise over $13,000 for Pencils of Promise! Special commendations to everyone that streamed video games for the event and many thanks to all who donated. If you missed the event, the team page will be up indefinitely. So, you still have plenty of time to donate.
Besides that, we have a LOT of updates regarding bug reports about the site.
- We have an update for those of you that use AdBlock and noticed an issue with the encoder!
- There are also a lot more people coming forward saying they are having issues with the Roku App. If that includes you, please drop a comment and share your problems.
- The bug involving clicking through pages while editing a wiki page has been identified.
- For those of you that experienced errors when trying to use the "Add to list" button when trying to add a game to a list, the bug has been fixed.
- As was the case last week, if you notice missing shows on the "Shows" page, please report them after clicking the link.
On a more light-hearted note, after a brief hiatus, Reel Layers is coming back! This time, they will be covering a rather obscure Christmas movie. Catch it on 4/20!

@_janjerome @leovader Remember that time we recorded our conversation for like 4 minutes at the burrito place during GDC and then the video vanished from my phone? Well I just updated my phone's OS and somehow it magically reappeared. We didn't suffer from a group hallucination. pic.twitter.com/fhuDwdpg0b

A while back you may recall Kone having fun with Giant Bomb's UPF segment with Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Jan. Well, they now have a YouTube archive of that video incase you missed it! Additionally, Kone whipped up a HILARIOUS Kirby-inspired "commercial" featuring the Giant Bombcast! Here's a link to the YouTube and Giant Bomb posting of the video
