Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created works from the previous week. Well, it's crazy to think that it has been a week since we last met, but that is indeed the case. To everyone who dropped thoughtful and kind messages last week, I want to thank you for doing so. Giant Bomb as a site is indeed changing, and as I said last week, it's okay to be concerned or angry at first. However, the people who are still here definitely have shown that they care for this site and want to continue with many of its traditions. Likewise, a hearty congratulations to Jeff Gerstmann for whipping up over 6,000 subscribers on Patreon in about a week!
The 16th was Dan's birthday. If you have not yet wished him well in turning a year older, you can send him a silly Tweet.
A lot of Giant Bomb members have been asking about the source of all of the new logo and design work on the site. The main person responsible for these new designs is Justin Vachon and you can thank him on Twitter for all of his hard work. For example, he shared some insights into the Game Mess Mornings logo that are worth checking out if you have not already.
Some of you noted a lack of Run for the Hills content on the site and the reason is not as dramatic as you might fear. Jess decided to use PTO to have a three-day weekend and that has delayed the final episode until the 24th of June.
Finally, this Tweet is important and it sounds like Jan's lawyers are preparing to sue a city in Japan. With all of that in mind, let's jump into the Spotlight!

Sometimes I scour Google for 'Arcade pit' and collect criticisms outside of my circle that I can use for improvements, which is where yesterday's tweet came from.

Here's 2 I'm working on:
A clearer visual for which team is up
An intro movie to quickly review how the show works
I’m not gonna do a whole blog post breakdown this year, but here’s what @giantbomb chat thought of each Summer Game Fest presentation based on polls asking them to rank them on a 10 point scale at the end of each.

Oh! Sun, the mascot for Kobe City’s Sun Television, is in his 50s but tells everyone he’s 38. He likes baseball, gambling, and watching TV. His head is the sun. pic.twitter.com/9CyObTPgKZ
