Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week. To say that the week was dour in tone is a massive understatement. With last Friday marking the final day in which Austin would function as a member of the Giant Bomb team many users expressed their thanks for the man this week. It goes without saying that we are all grateful for his time and contributions with this community. For that, we are all eternally grateful to him. With that let us move onto the site housekeeping from this week.

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week. We had an oddly encouraging trend this week when you look at the best that the Giant Bomb Community had to offer: . Whether it applies to trying to raise money for charity, helping newcomers enter the intimidating world of Destiny, or finally advising how players can become better healers in Overwatch; there was honest feeling of sincerity this week. All I can say is keep that up Giant Bomb, because that's what we all want to see on the site! Anyways, let's review the site-related housekeeping this week:

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week! Well the doldrums of Summer are officially here as the "Summer Game Drought" strikes again! For those of you that missed the announcements during the 7/1/2016 UPF the site will be running a bit of a skeleton crew this week due to multiple staff going on vacation. Rorie, Drew, and Jason will all be going on trips this week. Giant Bomb East will also be taking a sabbatical in that they will produce a Beastcast, and then proceeding to take a wonderful break.
