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 creations from the previous week!
Well, it sure seems like E3 is completely dead. With the recent news that the ESA has scrapped its previous bookings for E3 2024 and E3 2025, I think there's a more than good chance that this is the end of the line for the convention we all once knew and loved. Though, I feel like we have been doing this song and dance for the past five years.
Nonetheless, if you are mourning the event, rest assured that Giant Bomb has some goodies to keep your nostalgia flowing. First, don't forget that moderator Marino has an entire YouTube channel of photos and videos he took on the show floor from E3 1999 all the way to E3 2006!
Also, many of you may recall when Giant Bomb once hosted banner contests for all of the "major" conferences during E3 and you can check out all of the winners of those contests in a single thread post! Here's a personal favorite of mine:
A few programming notices. This week Jan was "on assignment," hence his absence on the site's normal programming and why there's been a slight delay on videos popping up on the site. Nevertheless, that did not stop the debut of the latest season of JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure which is tackling Cowboy Bebop!
Finally, Jordan Minor was a guest on the 06/23/2023 episode of Game Mess Mornings. If you are interested in pre-ordering the book they promoted, which has entries written by several current and former Giant Bomb staff, here's the link!

Art
Author's Note: Friendly reminder that if you find or make any cool works of art based on Giant Bomb staff, friends of the site, or memes associated with Giant Bomb then drop me a link! With everyone sharing their Giant Bomb themed art on different channels, it's getting harder for me to keep track of where everything is and what's getting made.
Robo Mitch Will Never Live This Down (By: @CreakyLegs)
The Robo Mitch fan art keeps coming! Over on Twitter Creaky Legs uses a familiar meme template to highlight the high likelihood that Phil Spencer has seen Mike's flaky feet and him picking at them with a Nicolas Cage fan.
Chibi Robo Mitch (By: @TiredSquidd)
Mike also shared on Twitter a wonderful chibi rendition of Robo Mitch with a link to the artist that created it!
