Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host! With the impending onslaught that is E3 looming nigh things have been relatively calm in the video game industry and in our community. That said there were plenty of special "highlights" from the Giant Bomb community this week worth talking about.

Dan Ryckert Nonsense Corner

So Dan made another appearance on Xavier Woods's UpUpDownDown YouTube channel. On it he played Ultimate Chicken Horse against Xavier Woods and Patrick Klepek. Did I mention that the OFFICIAL WWE TWITTER ACCOUNT tweeted Dan? Yeah...that also happened.
