A community is nothing without the people in it, the ones willing to work together for what they care for. This week was a perfect example of that when a mishap with a single member of the social media occurred. Together, they stood strong and with a small emoji in their name represented Xbox’s future. Now not all use it, and that doesn’t mean they are not part of this Xbox community. However, the ones that do wear it to show their support for the brand they game on. When a comment was made that showed a lack of professionalism, the Xbox community came together and stood for what they believed in and what they are proud of. I know that is something to feel good about and something I want to be a part of. So here is what is going on this week.
Community Gamer Spotlight
For those who don’t know, gamer spotlight is where we talk about gamers who have stood out in the community for either just being an outstanding supporter or the fan art they made. Here are just a couple who have stood out last week.

Nothing but very supportive, and lending a hand to who needs it. Whether it be from helping with an overlay on a Twitch page or just showing up and giving that extra support. It’s gamers like this that make this community proud.
Next, we have one gamer who we have noticed much like Tom. This gamer has a passion for console design, and the games he shows an interest in. 4k.HyperShadeTuts with his fan-made Xbox One S consoles brings a passion for the Xbox and designs together. Here is his fan-made art of Recore and Gears of War 4. To see his other designs check out his twitter.
Community Events
This week there will also be a Special Podcast Episode along with their regular show. TXR Podcast will be live on Wednesday July 13 at 5PM PST/8 PM EST…with a guest, you will not want to miss.
First, game night is held on Thursdays, hosted by Asthmattic117. Last week we played The Division’s new Underground expansion, making this a great night of fun for everyone who was able to make it out to join. For this event times do vary but are always at night, so watch his Twitter for future details on the next game and time it will be at.
This week’s community game time was canceled. Brought to you by the Console Corner Podcast hosted by GKB & xSHEWULFx. It’s held on Saturday nights, Xbox Live members are welcome and it always starts at 9:30 PM EST.
