It's Friday! That means it's time the for our regularly scheduled Bomb Drop. And by "scheduled," I of course mean "the inaugural excuse to relate a Peter Sellers image to something on Giant Bomb." So without further ado, here's a bunch of links to the best content from this week. If you have anything to show off feel free to leave it in the comments or send me a PM for next week's edition.

This is exactly what Giant Bomb needs; Community stuff pimped on the site itself. Totally awesome. Super sweet. And not just because I got a mention.
Now, if you excuse me, I'm working on the preservation of our bodily fluids.
