Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am honored to be your host this week as we look back at the best creative endeavors from the community! Hopefully all of you have a competitive spirit because the big news this week relates to an upcoming friendly competition the Giant Bomb community will be having with the MinnMax community. On Monday, July 25th at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST, MinnMax will be hosting a video game trivia competition. If you have interest in joining you can either subscribe to MinnMax's Patreon to join their Discord OR you can join Giant Bomb's Discord and find the referral link in the "News" section. If Giant Bomb wins, then Dan gets to pick a game under ten hours to force the host of MinnMax to play to completion.
As many of you may recall, Jess was away on vacation following the Bombcast, but if you miss her already, consider checking out the episode of the Super GG Radio podcast she guested on recently. If you were wondering, the Super GG Radio program is a gaming podcast produced by NPR Illinois.
Finally, some of you may have experienced issues with saving profile setting earlier this week. The good news is that the problem should be solved, but if you continue experiencing this issue, please notify panicswitch in the bug report thread. Speaking of bug news, some people in the public beta of iOS 16 on iPad are experiencing issues with the Bomb Cyclone, a Giant Bomb video app for iPhone and iPad! The problem is an OS issue without a clear workaround. With all of that in mind, let's jump into the Spotlight!

This was supposed to be you until I realized how much of a pain it is to mask your hair. Please accept the other (and cooler) Jeff Grubb in this gif. pic.twitter.com/Hw2GZzRc50

Quick note about @PackBenPack mentioning he deleted the inflation porn from AnimeVice. Others were assigned different sites and I was the one who systematically deleted every porn and hentai screencap from @giantbomb.

Giant Bomb Vs. TMNT Lucha Deer (By: @jearum)
As was the case last week, jearum was an an artistic roll. First up is a rendition of the big group Quick Look for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge on the site, but this tie imagined the staff as characters in the game going up against a familiar foe.
Shin Dan & Dan and Mike Mahardy as Beavis and Butt-Head (By: @jearum)
It goes without saying that Dan has no shame and is happy to discuss all of his bodily function in public as well as live on-air. For whatever reason, Dan's toilet habits have become a frequent talking point during the Voicemail Dump Truck. As such, jearum took that and ran with it in the form of two wonderful works of art.
