5 Great Gifts for Geeks

Heat Changing Arcade Mugs

The Heat Changing Arcade Mugs know if they contain hot coffee and are able to display it graphically… which obviously kicks your mug’s butt as it just sits there doing nothing.
hot mug!

Normally the Pac Boy mug displays an empty maze and the Space Intruders mug displays a blank starry sky. But add some kind of hot beverage and instantly the Pac Boy maze is filled with 8-bit style ghosts and energizers while the Space Intruders shows a retro invaders style battle in action

Endless Ocean: Blue World (Wii Game)

Journey into the blue once again with this Wii game where players get to explore the ocean and interact with its sealife.

Endless Ocean: Blue World builds on the ocean experience first introduced with Endless Ocean. While the last game emphasized relaxation, this one is designed with more adventure in mind. Divers might find themselves escaping from or calming down attacking sharks, exploring shipwrecks or finding treasure. Endless Ocean: Blue World also has more creatures and improved graphics designed to fully immerse players in an ocean environment that they can freely explore at their own pace.

Key Game Features:

• The ocean is teeming with life. Hundreds of real-life species are there to be discovered, from seahorses to giant whales.
• Are the local fish sick or agitated? Players can view their health status and then use a tranquilizer-like tool to zap the ones in need of rehab with healing energy.
• The game also includes a storyline that players can follow as they choose. The plot involves Oceana, a woman who investigates the “Dragon’s Song,” which her father, a prominent ocean explorer, was searching for just before his death.
• While at Nine Ball Island, players can become friends with a dolphin and teach it some new tricks. When ona dive, players can even bring along the dolphin, which players can hold onto for extra fast swimming.
• For the first time in the series, friends who have broadband Internet access can connect and dive with one another via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, while using the Wii Speak™ microphone to converse.
• Players: 1, 2 via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

SmartCat Peek-a-Prize Pet Toy Box

Challenge your cat for some fun!

Cats love to poke and prod around cracks and crevices, especially when they know something tasty or fun is hiding just out of their sight. The SmartCat Peek-a-Prize Toy Box helps encourage your cat’s natural predatory habits by partially hiding some of her favorite toys.

Your cat will have a great time fishing them out, especially during long daytime hours when you’re at work and your kitty is home alone. Keeps indoor cats mentally and physically sharp. You can drop almost any appropriately sized cat toy inside the box. Or if your pet is motivated by food, drop a few treats inside for her to catch and eat.
