World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King: "bards of Azeroth are finally stepping into the spotlight on their own terms, proving once and for all that while just about anyone can pick up a sword or cast a spell, only a true hero can vanquish evil with the power of ROCK!"

Armed with a trusty axe, killer riffs, and a ton of attitude, the guitar-wielding bard is the second hero class to be introduced in the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft.

"Mosh Pit," which briefly boosts the group’s movement speed while its members stay within range.

Chance on hit: Unleash a killer riff that blows your target’s mind.

Super Pii Pii Brothers

ThinkGeek :: Super Pii Pii Brothers: "Prepare yourself by strapping on the included belt harness and jacking in your Wiimote. A series of toilets are presented on screen and the challenge is to tilt your body to control a never-ending stream of pee. Get as much pee in the toilets as you can while spilling as little on the floor as possible. Sounds easy eh? Well the toilets open and close whack-a-mole style and occasionally the stray cat or other cute critter pops up. Spray a cat for extra points. Get too much pee on the ground and your game is over."

Oh! We so need one at my local! And a sign that says "You must be this level to use the restroom".
