So, after posting yesterday’s One Shot tribute to Harmonix staffer Milo Martinez’s Left 4 Dead Sackboys, Milo Himself showed up to let us know that those self-same-sacks were available for purchase via his site Sack-Planet.

Those, or any others from basic brown on up, apparently: Martinez has a handy customizable order sheet that’s something like Build-a-LittleBigBear, with a 2-3 week turnaround time, and optional tongues thrown in at no additional charge, which I think I’ll be ticking my way through in very short order.

Kudos to Tiny Cartridge for noticing that Fangamer — the company behind the staggering range of Earthbound/Mother-themed fashion & merch, as well as the newly established Metal Gear line — have reprinted and restocked these ‘Chronometer’ T-shirts based on Square’s 16-bit classic RPG Chrono Trigger, which also come with a separate chrono-themed 1″ pin (extra themed pin packs sold separately).

Remember in April when PopCap and Blizzard partnered to bring you exclusive Peggle levels playable inside World of Warcraft? This is a simple note to say that if you’re on a PC, you can now download the 10-level-pack as a free standalone game. And one to say that you should do so.

Organizers of the Independent Games Festival have announced that submissions are now open for 2010’s main and student showcases, with a deadline of November 1st and 15th, respectively. Finalists will be announced on January 4th and 11th of 2010, and, as usual, the IGF will be awarding some $50,000 in cash prizes spread across its visual art, audio, design, technical, ‘nuovo’ (formerly ‘innovation’), and audience categories, alongside the Seumas McNally grand prize.

On a personal note, I’ll be returning as a judge in both categories, alongside some excellent first-time compatriots, and am very much looking forward to spending time with (and subsequently exhaustively covering) everyone’s submissions.
