Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! Well then we have a bit to go over this week so let's get to it. First off Jeff's birthday was this week, August 1st to be exact. On top of that Jeff wants you to help design a new Cover Image for the Giant Bomb Facebook Page. If you wanted to know the name of the "Year of the Bow/Bo" song that Vinny and Drew have been using and was prominently used during the Max Payne 3 TNT it's called "Pimp My Bass," and you can listen to the entire song over here. Finally Patrick has written up a missive about the general negativity directed towards himself on the site. Seriously everyone, have some decorum. Anyways
