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 form the previous week! After a busy site-related news week yesterday, things were decidedly calm, which makes my life easier. As reviewed last week, the new 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.
However, people are continuing to report poor printings of shirts they ordered from the Giant Bomb store. It is believed that these shirts are delayed orders of shirts printed from the same batch of bad shirts from before. If you have any issues, email support@giantbombstores.zendesk.com OR drop a comment in the new shirt thread. Rorie is responding to comments posted in the thread daily and feel free to @reply him if he doesn't send you a response.
There were a few scheduling issues last week.
- The Quick Look for Soul Hackers 2 was delayed by a week. Jan hopes to have some Soul Hackers content on the site soonish.
- A collaboration with Haunted PS1 was also delayed, but is still planned due to unanticipated production delayed.
Finally, and I hate to do this, but if you read and enjoy this feature, please consider dropping a comment. These Spotlights do not write themselves and for the past two weeks, the lion's share of comments and replies have been from spambots. The Spotlights are not going anywhere soon, but they help keep my motivation up.

Goofy ass trip to Fort Bragg last weekend. Wifey and I being dorks. Kiddo took these and sent them to us. <3 This is 12 hours before I got sun poisoning. My face was all swollen up the last three days and I'm a shedding lizard today. #GiantBomb #FortBragg pic.twitter.com/0uOEmmYylr

Fanbyte is undefeated against Giant Bomb and, as history teaches us, hubris only makes you more invincible. https://t.co/luWx8ayG5M

Expectation vs Reality (By: @kone)
There's been a deluge of Fortnite content on the site and Kone continues to mash the Giant Bomb staff with promotional Fortnite skins with a work of art that adds a twinge of realism to the mix.
Giant Bomb x Punch-Out(By: @jearum)
jearum enjoyed Dan and Jeff Grubb injecting some Super Punch-Out!! content on Giant Bomb so much that they wnet ahead and envision the two, and Jan, as fighters in a Giant Bomb-themed Punch-Out game.
“How To Catch A Duck, Blind Folded.” (By: @jearum)
If you have a Twitter account, you may recall a video going viral in which blindfolded people attempt to catch a duck. Jearum couldn't help but imagine a world where the Giant Bomb staff try to get in on that hot viral action.
Final Fantasy XII T-Shirts (By: @kone)
When Mike Minotti and Jeff Grubb heard that the Final Fantasy anniversary t-shirts were making a comeback they got excited. However, that excitement was dashed when they discovered the Final Fantasy XII shirt was not one of the ones getting rebooted. Luckily, Kone has them covered.
