Summer's Last Gasps

As I've been busy trying to wring every last drop of fun out of this woefully disappointing summer (read: wrapping up the 5th season of "The Wire," nursing a sore back, and overdosing on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise,) I've been neglecting the Zero people on the Internet that read this. So, here's a bunch of things that other people have found interesting and actually did the legwork for, and my links to those things:

• Design your own costume for Little Big Planet's mascot "Sackboy," win something in the process.



• While I'm not the world's biggest Mountain Goats fan, I've got to say that this SMB inspired EP definitely piqued my curiosity.



• Because I'm feelin a little bit country today...



• ...and a little bit (not so) Rock and/or Roll.



• Update to last year's "Drugs on a Plane" story



• Finally, how about sending off the summer in style, with this sweet-ass portable grill?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe!

In honor of the 10th anniversary of the best movie ever made (A.K.A. The Big Lebowski), I've included some links to things that might interest an Achiever, such as yourself. I'm sure you've got nothing better to do anyway, right?

I mean, you don't go out looking for a job dressed like that do you? On a weekday?

(article links to several interviews and what have you)

And who could forget the new 10th Anniversary Collectors DVD. It's not in HD, unfortunately, but you'll be throwin rocks if you pick this sucker up when it comes out next week.
