Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best community-created works from the previous week. Hopefully everyone enjoyed EVO 2022 last weekend as many of you even took the time to drop by the Giant Bomb chat while the event was running. For future reference, if you or a community feel like a major gaming conference or event warrants keeping the chat open for the special occasion, please reach out to Rorie on Twitter or Discord. While there's no guarantee that the request will be accepted, those are the channels to get your voice heard in the first place.
When it comes to the new t-shirts, we have a few updates. As was the case last week, the site's store managers are working to address production issues. As part of these production checks, the new shirt designs will be temporarily unavailable until the print centers pass a quality check. If you wish to learn more about the problem, here's a link to Rorie's on-site post about the issue. Also, don't forget to send an email to support@giantbomb.com if the shirts you ordered come back and do not match what was advertised.
Some of you have sent emails to support about receiving an email with the subject line "Welcome To Giant Bomb." This email is NOT FAKE, and instead, part of a final check by Rorie to set up the weekly newsletter feature. While there's no official ETA on when to expect a return of the weekly newsletter, progress is being made.
Finally, for those that noticed the forum comment box was not working on Firefox, the issue should be fixed now! If you are still experiencing issues commenting while using Firefox, drop a comment in the thread linked in the previous sentence! Oh, and Jan wants you all to know that you are the BEST community on the internet!

At E3 '03, the woman hosting the 8-player Double Dash kiosk kept saying "Merry-oh Kart" over the loud speaker. A man came out from the back and took her with him. The woman who replaced her said "Mario". pic.twitter.com/yBFaSUJNZV
I watched this all happen while I was in line to play. Here is the video I shot when I got close enough. You can hear the new host saying Mario the right way.@jeffbakalar @DanRyckert @unastrike @tamoorh @lucyjamesgames https://t.co/izy3kDhXtY

The Giant Bomb community lost the last round of Trivia Tower, so @danryckert has to wear a shirt designed by @yozetty for a week. Thank you to all of MinnMax's supporters who made this dream possible.

Many thanks to Baylee Elizabeth on Twitter for making a crochet version of the Giant Bomb logo! Also, she posted a handful of pictures showcasing a properly printed version of the cat yarn shirt design.
