Oh, what a day, what a lovely day!

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host this week. As everyone finally recovers from their PAX West 2017 induced hangover, the site is running at full capacity! Destiny 2 was the big video game release, and you'll find there are plenty of community activities and discussion treads related to the game on this week's Spotlight. Beyond that, there was a TON of user created artwork this week! Remember to always click the links to any artwork provided here, and support the artist however possible. Without further ado, let's talk about the one bit of housekeeping I want everyone to know about!

The countdown to Giant Bomb's Extra-Life fundraiser STARTS NOW! For those that do not know, this will be Giant Bomb's 7th year participating in Extra Life, and every year the fundraiser gets bigger and better! Be aware the fundraiser is all about raising money for a charitable cause! DO IT FOR THE KIDS!
