MagNeato!
A Tower of metal blocks on a magnetic base. Whee.
I collect stainless steel magnetic desk toys like this one. I also sometimes have a lava lamp and one of those static balls. So let’s see: Liquids, strong magnets, and static electricity. Yes. These are great things to keep on my desk near my computers. All I need to complete the collection is an EM pulse disco ball or a little Koi Pond for my motherboard to float around in. Brilliant.
If the machines ever rise up and try to enslave humanity, I’m pretty sure I could fend them off by myself using just the toys on my desk.
Secret of Good Secrets
Sometimes in-game secrets are fun and sometimes they're lame. Here's why.
Charging More for a Worse Product
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
Self-Balancing Gameplay
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.
Overthinking Zombies
Let's ruin everyone's fun by listing all the ways in which zombies can't work, couldn't happen, and don't make sense.

You know what would be the absolute coolest thing for your desk. One of those tilting birds that drink glasses of water. That would make you the most rockinest guy in town

Absolutely. Ever stick a magnet to a computer? Maybe use a “chip clip” to hold your floppy disks?
Hint: You won’t do it twice.
