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!
The staff have returned and have recovered from their DreamHack convention appearance. If you missed any of the livestreams, here is a review of what has been posted thus far, and I am going to include stuff the staff recorded while in route to the event. Also, as you can see in a Tweet by Dan below, there's still more stuff to come!
- Voicemail Dump Truck 64 (Premium Only)
- Grubber Lang's Punch-Out!! ROAD WARRIOR
- Giant Bomb at Dream Hack: Mario Party Party!
- Giant Bomb at DreamHack: Giant Jenga
- Giant Bomb Presents: The Super Mario Bros. Movie SPOILERCAST
- Giant Bomb Presents: Power Bombcast Goes Hollywood
Obviously, the biggest news this week stems from the GLORIOUS RETURN OF THE GIANT BOMB STORE! Not only that, but the site is running a special promotion for those that live in the United States. If your merch order exceeds $75, the shipping fee will be waived. For those of you ordering internationally, because the supplier is based in the United States, please allow 7-10 business days for shipping of all apparel and feel free to report incredibly ridiculous shipping and handling charges to support@giantbomb.com. Oddly enough, non-apparel orders will ship quicker.
For premium members, use the "Sign In" button above to access exclusive merch! If your premium login doesn't work, there's a temporary fix/workaround that you can read about in this thread! Also, be aware the engineering team is working on a permanent fix right now.
Finally, did you know that it is almost time for the Giant Bomb Community Spring-time charity event known as the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run? The event is only two weeks away and you can learn how to support it!
In fact, it's worth noting that I will be a participant in the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run, and if you have enjoyed the Community Spotlight feature on the site, please consider donating to my charity page. Even small amounts are appreciated, and if you can't donate, consider sharing the page to someone you think might be able to.

Had a wonderful couple of days with these two gents and the rest of the Fandom/GameSpot homies.

Yes, I am smarter than a games journalist! With that said, chat may or may not have been involved... 😅

It was really cool to be thrown onto the Main Stage at @DreamHack San Diego last weekend, and I ended up actually winning trivia against @giantbomb! Fun times all around. 🥳 https://t.co/yzifHSCf96 pic.twitter.com/H8VRoHvbjY

Giant Bomb Robocop Prime Directives (By: @permanentsigh)
Does Mike Minotti have a "Prime Directive" while playing RoboCop for Blight Club? Photoshop guru, permanentsigh sure thinks so, and was inspired to make this work of art as a result!
