The Community Spotlight - 08/06/2016

Many thanks to morehandclaps on Tumblr for this AWESOME artwork!

Hello and welcome to another wonderful edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week. Now, before we move onto the latest site related news or summary on the best offerings of the Giant bomb Community let's briefly touch upon on major bit of news. Dan will be at the New York offices for about a month. He will eventually return to the San Francisco office after PAX West (September 2nd-5th). So with that hopefully we can all take a sigh of relief and enjoy the fun happenings that graced this site this week.

Mepsipax took the time to translate the Swedish that Jeff spoke during an old mailbag that featured mulled wine. Apparently Jeff did a surprisingly good job at speaking Swedish coherently.
