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 last week. If you are reading this during the weekend, be aware that the Giant Bomb staff and community are running an emergency community fundraiser for the National Network of Abortion Funds! Expect plenty of exciting streams all weekend, which you can watch in the Giant Bomb chat! If you want a schedule of the planned events, feel free to check out the announcement thread. Also, please click the team page and help out some of the people on the team still looking for their first donation!
The Giant Bomb staff were active around the internet beyond your regularly scheduled content this week.
- Jess and Jeff Grubb were guests on a RiffTrax livestream where they played more of the RiffTrax video game.
- Jeff Bakalar was a guest on a recent episode of Nextlander's Never Been a Better Podcast! For that particular Nextlander podcast, you need to be a $10 or more contributor to their Patreon.
Finally, last weekend marked the 9th anniversary of the passing of Ryan Davis. In the Tweets section you will find a handful of touching tributes to one of the original members of Giant Bomb. Consider sharing your memories of the man in the tribute thread linked.

Every year, on July 3rd, my husband @AxelStreamer pulls up videos of Ryan Davis & I shed a tear, reminded how I never really got to know him while he was alive because I didn’t get into @giantbomb until later. Yet, years later, here he is, filling our home with laughter. RIP Ryan pic.twitter.com/zMcyMqB2Al

I loved being in cahoots with Ryan Davis on doofy shit. Such a warm, open, enthusiatic, hilarious human being. I still miss you every day, mate.

Drinking a bunch of Eagle Rare (in honor of our dearly departed Ryan) at 1 in the afternoon is the best Friday decision I’ve made in a while. Feeling loose and fancy free and ready to do jack shit this weekend.

The GB thermos isn't dishwasher safe!! But it gives me a great reason to put stickers all up on it (and hand wash it from hereon out)

Very minor but neat across GB and GS today, you'll get metadata when listening to podcasts and videos on your OS level player. Show art will also populate. pic.twitter.com/PUhxRucmVD

Silent Hills 2 Is Done, Jan (By: @jearum)
With Jan finally done with Silent Hill 2, jearum tried to find a creative way to capture Jan's mixture of elation and anxiety knowing that there are plenty of more Silent Hill games to play in the future.
Neon White Open Character Cards (By: @jearum)
In light of Giant Bomb's new Neon White Open feature, jearum decided to create playing cards for each of the participants thus far! Give them a viewing and send them tanks for their hard work!
