Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week. Ten years. It's been ten years since the full launch of Giant Bomb. It's crazy to think Giant Bomb is actually older than members of my family, but it is. Now, I'll spare you the usual rigmarole about good times and bad times on Giant Bomb. Instead, I just want to thank every staff member, designer, engineer, moderator, and user who made the past ten years of Giant Bomb possible. I want to thank the users who are still actively sharing their works of art and writing, and those that may no longer be active or with us anymore. Ten years is a long amount of time to wrap your mind around, but hopefully we can all come together and enjoy another ten! With that in mind, let's review the site housekeeping this week.

• Bug Report: 1) There are issues with franchises not appearing in search or when searching the wiki, and 2) Forum search results are coming up with zero results. Rorie has filed a bug report for both issues and will keep us updated.
• There are two new t-shirts in the store! These are pre-order shirt and available for pre-order until Friday, July 27th! Click the link to learn every possible detail about the two designs!
• Did you know Jan likes wrestling? No? Well, Jan was a guest on a wrestling podcast called "Kayfabe Forever" and if you give it a listen you can learn all about his wrestling upbringing.
• Don't forget to check out the "10 Years of Giant Bomb" portal! It's a wonderful trip down memory lane!

Wonderful Wikis

Guts and Glory

It provided plenty of laughs during the 7/20/2018 UPF, but you might be surprised by how detailed our wiki page is for the survival racing game, Guts and Glory!

If you remember from a few years back, Sony announced it would be producing a film adaptation of the Sly Coopergame series. Based on the popular PS2 mascot platformers, the film was set to follow the adventures of Sly, Murray, and Bentley as they commit petty crimes and fight evil. The teaser trailer looked really promising, but the project went quiet for a few years. Now, it looks like that pitch...
