The Daily Hotness: Awesome Apocalypse overload!

Today is so jam packed, that the only way to describe the awesome is with the above photo.  

Where to even begin? The new RetroForceGO! shirt made by a community member is up for sale, I did a little preview of Left 4 Dead’s multiplayer mode, we have our biggest contest ever coming Monday, some ignorant movie reviewer thinks no one ever cried over the death of a game character, LittleBigPlanet gets delayed due to religious references, and plenty more happened on 10/17/08.
