Das ist nicht mein Land

Have you seen this?

(Warning: NSFW due to a microsecond of boobies…)

I can’t wait to hear at volumes so loud the standing waves in my head give me visions…. but my first impression is that it is a bit… mellow… and far from the aural tour de force that was this.

BY THE WAY, this:

is continuing. This right now is not todays post in the series. I’m preparing something special for later this afternoon 🙂

Platinum Again

What’s this?

Not sure? Here’s the back:

You got it! It’s the 2011 Club Nintendo Platinum reward, a set of Mario pins. But not just pins – pins that come packaged in boxes that can be separated…

…and reassembled into three different Mario murals…

All this could have been yours had you earned 600 coins in this years redemption program. That’s $600 spent on Nintendo products.

Yes, $600. Yep. 25 crappy pins 🙂

Walking Battler

Let’s continue with the topic of graduation gifts. Here’s another I received, a Striiv:

This nifty little device is a pedometer with all sorts of additional features. In addition to keeping track of steps, stairs, calories and ‘energy’ the Striiv incentivizes the user with Trophies!

So for trophy junkies like me, that’s a win right there. The system has extensive stat tracking as well (which I love) and can challenge the user to do more exercise than they usually would:

The currency earned is used in a little fantasy simulation game called Myland. It’s purely a distraction, but not bad for a pedometer.

Many of you know how much I loved the DS pedometer software i used to use. This guy is all that and much more, plus it’s all there in my pocket. I’m loving it so far 🙂
