Think Geek, I’ve always wanted to enjoy my bacon in squeezable form
From Microsoft, Alpine Legend, finally, I can don my lederhosen and reenact my favorite Ricola commercials
CADIE is getting her Panda loving fingers into everything. She has even come up with a list of places humans should vist. I personally agree with Redmond, WA. Although she finds something out about that place that I did not know.
Wii Fit decides to get into the act today
Penny Arcade’s fictional creatures in D&D, are not so fictional anymore
NIN is coming out with a new album! I particularily like the track listing. I also recommend adding your name to the email list (just do it!)

Oblivion DLC is now half price, except for Horse Armor…which is now twice the original price. (Thanks Snifit!)
Umbrella Corporation requests government bailout.
Blizzard has…done a bunch of stuff, so much that there’s no way I could keep my job by trying to nija them on here today. Just go check out their site.
Flights to Mars, from expedia. Only $99, I may just take that price, but first I must ask William Shatner. (Thanks Rozi!)
According to Kotaku, another Wii Fit joke…that I can’t access from work, you have been warned. BTW, they totally stole my idea

Hipster, Please’s Podswap ’09 seems to be going well, I’m waiting to hear from Z. as to how sucessful it was. We were going to do this, but couldn’t everyone together to record a podcast, and you don’t want me talking for an hour, alone…just trust me on that.
Capcom’s Brown Man Hunter, is yet another Japanese site that I have no clue what’s going on with due to work firewalls, but the Kotaku title alone leads me to believe it has something to do with RE5 and it’s subsequent controversy.

You might want to include the fact that all Oblivion DLC is half-off for this week…
Except for horse armor, which has doubled in price.

The new Wii Fit joke you posted is “Wii Height” and very safe for work…especially if you and your boss don’t speak Japanese.
