Welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am honored to be you host as we look back at the best community-created works from the previous week. We have a lot of site-related housekeeping to discuss, so, this week we'll just jump right into it.
The recent t-shirts are back up and available through the Giant Bomb store! Furthermore, the bumper stickers that were made on-stream are now available for purchase.
- If you got one of those screwed up shirts you should have received an email from our store partners regarding replacement shirts. If you haven't please email support@giantbombstores.zendesk.com.
- If you ordered a shirt and the shipment stopped and did not update, then the store may have stopped shipment if your order was not shipped by the time we figured out the issue.
- If you want an explanation of what happened, why the shirts printed incorrectly, and how to get 10% off on premium for this headache, check out Rorie's latest thread on the site.
In terms of bug reports and updates, we have two important announcements.
- Some Giant Bomb community members are reporting site irregularities when using Firefox. If that includes you, please file a comment/post in the thread.
- People across the board are experiencing issues when trying to re-up their premium subscription using PayPal. If that applies to you, let Rorie know and he will give you a free month of premium for the inconvenience.
In terms of programming updates, the staff have hit a snag when it comes to their planned Terminator Film + 40s Watch Party. Right now, they need to figure out a few other things on Twitch before it can happen, but rest assured it is coming! Also, if you missed Jess playing Cult of the Lamb on its highest difficulty, the VOD is viewable over here. Finally, tune in on 9/1 after Game Mess Mornings to watch a new series starring Jeff B as he replays Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem!

Giant Bomb: Into the Meta-Verse (2022), Part 2, and Part 3 (By: @kone)
So, Mark Zuckerberg "debuted" a screenshot of Meta’s Metaverse and it was immediately ridiculed by the internet. Apparently, he shared a screenshot of an early build of the project instead of a screenshot of the current version. No matter, kone had a field day adding the staff to the first screenshot that threw the internet into a tizzy.
