Comments
Do "Star" commenters here get one of those?
Wow that is too awesome, like cute-overload for geeks.
Some people might say the noise would drive them crazy if a kid hit it all day, but isn't that what you hear non-stop in the game anyways?
@Git Em SteveDave:
Oh I hope so!
Words cannot describe how happy that makes me.
I just don't know where to begin...
/shuts down computer
It's kind of like a plush version of Billy Bass, only slightly less annoying.
This isn't going to make some kid jump on big, razor-toothed, venus fly traps because he believes he is ''invinsible'' is it?
Oh, and it would be very cute to hang a few of those question blocks from the ceiling for an reason to do some more exercise.
"Where does he [BLAM] get those wonderful toys?"
@LindsayJoy: @Git Em SteveDave: If that is true I must do everything in my power to increase my connectedness and be bestowed a star of my own. Wait I need a star to get a star?
I think the ? block is unfathomably awesome.
@TOWken22: Where does he [BLAM] get those wonderful toys?
Same place he gets that creepy fake mustache?
@Gimmeslack12: I couldn't agree more.
Wait, are they 24.99 for all three or each?
[?] = Awesome
I can see the flock of dorks running out to buy that now.
@Git Em SteveDave: how does one acquire the star commenter status?
oh dear god that is awesome
@CODIFEROUS:
you hit the box until you get a star, did you not watch the video XD
Yeah, but shouldn't the coin box only give you 8-12 coins (depending on speed) and then cut you off? It's all about authenticity.
@LindsayJoy:
No. You need to give yourself, body and soul to Gizmodo. Then they will decide if you are worthy.
If you are not worthy you will be eternally dammed.
If are worthy you are marked for sacrifice.
GAH! Gotta have that question block NAO
Price: $24.99
@Git Em SteveDave: $24.99 each =(
@TOWken22:
My previous comment was meant for you....I don't know what is up with Giz today. This has happened a few times.
@LindsayJoy: Sure sure sure ;)
@CODIFEROUS: All I remember is jumping up and punching some bricks. Life got flashy for a little bit, and then I had a star.
@oopl: Damn, the article made it seem like a combo.
@bobdobbs: Moustache comments = ban.
wow i am definitely gonna get the question mark one haha 1UP!
Omg these are too cute! I want them! They should make a flower that lets me throw fireballs!
Hey Brian, that's so cute!
It seems like a baby toy.
Sarah
Those are so freaking sweet... now I just need to find a way to suspend them from my ceiling.
I have to say that my face lit up in a big smile and I actually said "YEAH" out loud when I saw the block.
Very very cool.
(yes the star commenters should get them)
Awww man...i was expecting him to run around the room with that star :(
@o0adam0o: He did. That's how fast he was.
i think i like Brian.
is that ok?
@mumin:
What kind of question is that!?
He is the editor!
You need to worship him like a god!
@LindsayJoy: Glad you are KIDDING. I see REAL worship in the comments on some OTHER blogs and it is gross. EVERYONE BE COOL.
I hope this bounces up and down on the ground when you drop it. Oh, and it damn well better make me invincible.
You guys get the best toys.
I got these from NCSX a while ago. I'm such a loser. :-/ There is also a turtle shell.
how could that do anything but put a smile on your face ... awesome.
Brian, you are the biggest dork ever. and I love you for it!
@Brian Lam: it's a moustache?
not an eyebrow down for a drink?
=Ban
It makes life that much more bleak that I don't have either of them.
ME WANTS!!!!
@flyboy: No, because that was funny and creative. Also, I could never ban bob, I was just teasing him.
My life is definitely missing these.
@Brian Lam: not worth a star then?
