Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! The staff have left the building and are moving to L.A. in order to prepare for E3! This year expect full commentary of the console and big developer streams. Speaking of which please remember to check out our E3 2014 guidebook, as seen below, to make the lives of the staff and mods a bit easier. Now on a more somber note this week was Ryan's birthday. Please remember to love Ryan Davis. It was also the birthday of John Drake.
