But what games are they? In no particular order and off the top of my head, they are:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
  • Team Fortress 2
  • Portal
  • Half-Life 2: Episode 2: Freeman Strikes Back
  • Some Xbox Tetris game

I am also finishing up my video game website, but it doesn’t help that I don’t have enough time to play these games let alone write anything about them. The only solution, it seems, would be to sleep less.

Mink Car Signed

Hey, pretty neat. One problem: where did I get a signed copy of this CD? I can’t remember! And who is John Sid? The signature obscured by the sticker is definitely John Flansburgh’s, consisting of a bespectacled smiley face in place of the “o.”  I can only assume that the top signature is one of John Linnel’s pseudonyms; he has been know to sign things “J.Lo Linnel” among others. This does not solve the problem of where this CD came from, however. Anybody have any ideas?

Tetris Magnets

They come in sets of seven (of course) and are available for preorder for the low, low price of 198 rubles! That’s, like, seven bucks! Great for sticking on your refrigerator, car, metallic knee, or ferrous satellite hull!

From the picture the drive sure seems to be intact, but perhaps its data storage abilities have been compromised! Lo, upon plugging it into my computer, all of my files were as non-destroyed as they were before crushing them with a 2,365 pound vehicle. Consider this a shining recommendation for USB flash drives from Dell, where the 512MB model is inexplicably five dollars cheaper than the 256MB one, and both are available for “as low as $1/month.”
