ThinkGeek Pwns Root (Beer)

from ThinkGeek:

Our dads are sad.

Know why our dads are sad? They’re sad because they are not eligible to win the ThinkGeek (Even More) Ultimate GeekDad Giveaway. We’re hoping to cheer them up with bacon-wrapped cheeseburgers and home-brewed root beer. The good news is that you and your dad could win.

The bad news? If you win, you’ll never be able to top that Father’s Day gift. Better start saving up for a Death Star retirement home.

Root Beer Brewing Kit
Brewing regular beer at work could get you into big trouble (unless you work at a brewery, of course). But there is one type of beer that’s safe for work: root beer! Now you can brew it yourself, and have deliciously creamy root beer in as little as 3 days. It’s easy and fun, and there’s nothing like drinking down all your hard (not really) work. While you’re at it, brew some at home, too. It’s a great way to get the whole family involved in making something you want to drink!

Take $5 off $30+ or $10 off $60+ orders — Pop is tops!
ThinkGeek’s GeekDads have selected their top picks for Father’s Day gifts. And whether your Dad is a sci-fi geek, a gadget geek, or an outdoors geek, we’ve got the gift that will make him declare you to be his favorite offspring. Of course, you can always pick out a few things for yourself… y’know, while you’re here. Use code DADNME for $5 off $30 or $10 off $60, good through 11:59 pm Eastern on 6/11/11.

(Even More) Ultimate GeekDad Giveaway — We really outdid ourselves
Sure, you could honor your father with a lightsaber duel, but you might need that hand one day. How about gifting him with our biggest prize pack ever? At stake is our iCade (complete with 16GB wifi iPad), a full-size arcade cabinet with custom ThinkGeek art, a $1,000 ThinkGeek shopping spree, a subscription to WIRED, a LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0, GeekDad shirts and books for the family, Munchkin goodies from John Kovalic, and a pair of GUNNAR gaming glasses. Don’t be a bad kid — enter by noon ET on June 17th!

ThinkGeek Has Headcrabs

from ThinkGeek:

Hot enough for ya?

It feels a bit like Athas here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ. We haven’t run into any cannibal halflings, but rumor has it that our marketing director is half-human, half-Ssurran.

Sadly, that Star Wars ice cream truck we found in April seems to have disappeared. We really could use an Admiral Snackbar right about now. In the meantime, hug your air conditioner and get as much stuff delivered to you as possible.

Half-Life Headcrab Plush Hat
Were you forced against your will to see footage of the royal wedding? Did you laugh your butt off at all the ridiculous hats? If you don’t know, those wacky hats are called fascinators. We assume it’s because they’re fascinating. Y’know, in a “WTF is that thing on your head?” kind of way. Of course, the original “WTF is on your head?” hat is the headcrab. Be sure to keep a crowbar nearby when you try it on… just in case.

Save $10 — Guanine met Cytosine, fell in love…
Doing some early shopping to thank Dad for his half of your most fantastic genome? You’re clearly the best kid in the family. (But we knew that.) Use code DADGENES for $5 off $30+ or $10 off $60+ through 11:59pm ET 6/4/2011.

Father’s Day is June 19 — Shop now, slack later!
Father’s Day is June 19th. It may seem far, far away, but if you’re like us and prepping your games and costumes for convention season, it’ll sneak up on you like a ninja. Why not grab a gift for Dad now while you’re thinking about it? Check out our list of Pop-worthy presents, hand-picked by ThinkGeek’s own GeekDads.

World of Warcraft Only Noobs Play Alliance Premium Tee
World of Warcraft Only Noobs Play Alliance Women’s Tee
Battlegrounds are so fun these days. And by fun, I mean easy. The Alliance noobs that funnel out of their base might as well have targets painted on their bellies. I’ve taken to calling Arathi Basin “The Honor Farm”, which is ironic because there’s really no honor in dominating a squad of Night Elf mouth-breathers. Well, there’s no honor, but it’s still a hell of a lot of fun! >=D

World of Warcraft Only Noobs Play Horde Premium Tee
World of Warcraft Only Noobs Play Horde Women’s Tee
PVP used to be such a challenge: a field of evenly-matching combatants, battling with wisdom and strength in a fight to the death! Now the Horde can’t even field a proper army. They just send out a squad of swaddling toddlers, noobs who pick their nose with their wands and hold their swords by the pointy end! Come now, pathetic creatures of the Horde! Surely you can do better!

Capture Digital “Dragon Ball” Manga for 20% Off with New VIZ Manga App Promotion

from VIZ Media:

VIZ Media announces a special invitation to manga fans and followers of the popular Dragon Ball series with news of a brand new VIZ Manga App promotion that offers digital versions of the classic action adventure story for the Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch for only $3.99 — 20% off the normal MSRP. The promotion starts today for a limited time only and ends on Monday, May 16th at midnight PST.

Creator Akira Toriyama’s classic manga series, Dragon Ball (rated ‘T’ for Teens), introduces a young monkey-tailed boy named Goku (a wry update of the classic Chinese “Monkey King” legend), whose quiet life changes when he meets a girl named Bulma who is on a quest to collect seven “Dragon Balls.” If she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. She’s on a mission to find the seven orbs, but first she must convince young Goku to join her on her quest. With a monkey tail, super-human strength, and a magic staff for a weapon, Goku’s ready to set out on the adventure of a lifetime…

Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous, distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the wildly popular Dr. Slump. His hit series Dragon Ball (published in the U.S. as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and is published in North America by VIZ Media. Toriyama is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1, and most recently, Blue Dragon. His recent manga works include Cowa! (also published by VIZ Media), Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, and a children’s book, Toccio the Angel.

The VIZ Manga App is the leading application to read Japanese manga on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. The app is free to download through the iTunes store, and volumes are generally available for purchase and download in the U.S. and Canada for only $4.99 (U.S. / CAN) each. An extensive library of almost 200 volumes is available now, including popular series such as Bleach, Blue Exorcist, Death Note, Naruto, One Piece and many more. Readers are encouraged to check the app regularly, as new additions to the store and free Chapter 1 previews of other forthcoming manga series are featured.

Nintendo Unveils New Wii Package and “Nintendo Selects” Games with New Suggested Retail Pricing

from Nintendo of Canada:

Nintendo is dropping the suggested retail price of its Wii system to $149.99 and including a Mario game with the Wii hardware. Starting May 15, the newly priced Wii system will come in either black or white with the Mario Kart Wii game and a matching coloured Wii Wheel accessory, replacing the previously included Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort games.

Also on May 15, Nintendo launches the new Nintendo Selects collection of Wii games, a set of popular games that millions of people have already experienced, at a suggested retail price of $19.99. The four must-own games in this collection are The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers and Wii Sports, which is available for the first time as a separate software purchase. Parents and video game fans can now easily expand their library of fun, family-friendly Wii games.

“From the day it launched, Wii has let players of all ages and experience levels have fun with one another,” said Ron Bertram, Nintendo of Canada’s vice-president and general manager. “The new suggested retail pricing for both the hardware and select games will help create more of these magical moments for even greater numbers of people.”

With Mario Kart Wii now included with the Wii hardware, players will be able to enjoy fun go-kart racing with Mario and all his Mushroom Kingdom pals right out of the box. The Wii Remote Plus controller, Nunchuk controller and Wii Wheel included in the package will all match the hardware, meaning they will be either black or white. The new black Wii Wheel will also be available separately at a suggested retail price of $9.99.

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit wii.com.
