Hope for Mankind: Most Grateful Kid Ever Gets an Xbox 360
Sunday, December 27th, 2009I have bemoaned many-a-time the horrific extent to which parents spoil their small children with outrageous gifts and birthday cakes. For one, none of these kids have been alive long enough to have done anything to deserve a $500 cake. (Cure a communicable disease and we’ll talk about a pizza party, kid. Maybe.)
And two, what [...]

Thursday, November 26th, 2009Please, for this year’s Black Friday sales, don’t subject yourselves to the lunacy of the brick-and-mortar store experience. Shop online.

‘Cause why would you make a really small video game console that plays games when it can light cigarettes, instead?
Because Japan, that’s why.
But wait… there’s more. The price of [...]
Surprise!: Super Mario Master Chief Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
Monday, October 26th, 2009I can only think of two reasons to possibly get a Super Mario Master Chief tattoo like this one.
1) You really, really like video games, but ran out of epidermal real estate for all of your tattooed tributes. (Your Dig Dug ink took up a lot of space, after all.)

Geek Nirvana!: Metal Gear Solid Cake [Geeky Cake of the Week]
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009I think Teri is trying to force me into retirement. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent me the details on this chocolate (with chocolate mousse filling) Metal Gear Solid cake by Rosebud Cakes.
Game over, man. I can only hope the Lords of the Internetubules can someday deliver unto me a confectionery geeky specimen that won’t pale [...]
