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. It's crazy to think, but this week marks the one-year anniversary of Jess/Voidburger first appearing on the site as a guest! I think we can all agree that Jess has been a hugely positive addition to the site and as one of the main fixtures today, her energy and enthusiasm is greatly appreciated. So, if you have not done so already thank her for the past year and all she has done for the site since.
News
We have a major but disappointing update from Rorie about the state of the Giant Bomb store and what is going on with the latest batch of t-shirts as well as the print on demand service. As you can see below, production of the shirts and the store as a whole is on hiatus. For those that still have not received their goods, you should expect an email from Social Imprints on how to get a full refund.
In better news, we already have 24 people signed up to Giant Bomb's Extra Life team roster! Also, the team has managed to raise over $2,000 even with over a month to go before the official start of the event! If you are interested in joining the fun, click this link! Even if you can only stream for a few hours, every little bit helps!
Also, speaking of charity drives, Smight, one of the figureheads behind Arcade Pit, has a charity page up and running for survivors.org! If you have enjoyed their Arcade Pit feature, please consider chipping in whatever you can!
Rorie will be doing a stream with a developer of Mr. Shifty, which is one of Rorie's favorite games in recent memory. If you can think of any questions you would like them to ask, feel free to drop a comment.

Watching some old @giantbomb as I'm working and heard them talking about what vocab a Dark Souls Garfield would have for its messages. Now I'm trapped imagining classic msgs in the Lasagnaverse.

"Monday Ahead"
"Great Lasagna Ahead"
"Try Eating"
I need the vocab for Sonic, etc too

Gotta Go Tase! (By: @jearum)
The Voicemail Dump Truck, Hyrule Hustle, and Dan playing Sonic 06 was a pretty solid trio of streams and somehow jearum managed to capture all of them with this work of art. I mean... just look at dat ass.
Eternal Darkness of the Simple Mind: Meet me At Taco Bell (By: @kone)
The dynamic between Jeff B., Dan, and Jeff Grubb is really something special and I think we can all agree that Kone perfectly capture that with this hilarious mock movie poster.
