So if you're located in SF or NYC, managed to get your hands on one of Microsoft's Windows 7 party packs—puzzles, cards, posters, instructions and all—and plan on following through with this whole thing, let us know. We'll work something out! To break things down to potential co-partiers: NY Giz staffers are generally more attractive, but our SF crew is way, way sluttier.

And remember this. Together, we can have this:

Games2U puts PS3s, Wii and Xbox 360 games inside of a van and delivers it, letting 20 people play no matter where you are. We can imagine it being useful for kids' birthday parties, tailgating parties or funerals; especially since the company also offers laser tag and giant hamster balls.

And if you think this is a good and viable business opportunity, they even offer franchise options to set one up where you live. [G2u via Kotaku]

Think about it. You could be sitting around a table with a bunch of people in suits who you've never met (and quite frankly, don't believe exist for any purpose on this earth other than making awkward dinner conversation), OR, you could be taking tequila shots off the bride along with a Party Pump chaser.

Constructed of "party-safe plastic," the transparent look will blend perfectly with the inlaws' insistence on crystal. Plus, at just $25 a pop, it makes for a cheaper table centerpiece that dumb flowers.

At least, that's what I've convinced Jason. [Taylor Gifts via Nerd Approved]

Hey, Microsoft, I'm thinking of throwing tupperware party next month. Let me know if you're interested. – Nicholas Deleon

Too soon for Zune? [Daily Pennsylvanian]

I'd like to say the best part was the fact that we didn't get hassled for taking pictures, but the pictures came out kind of crappy and let's be honest — the sushi was the best part. Overall, props to Verizon for making up for earlier party issues. –Adam Frucci

Anyhow, a couple of bouncers saw our videotaping and got all tough on us, telling us to stay where we were while they called in the Caesars' Palace steakhead Gestapo. In the end we made it out alive and with our limited footage in tact, true blogger heroes putting our necks on the line to keep you entertained. You're welcome. –Adam Frucci with video by Richard Blakeley

At least we thought, until Blakeley snapped a picture of the pool table and Brenda said "Did we not learn something from what we just talked about? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. This is the Off the Record party after all." Right. She was kind enough to allow us permission to snap a last couple photos of us with some dudes we met from CNET, but you can be sure that we consumed more of the beer they were handing out than we would have if they had let us do our photo and video thing in peace. Think about that, Verizon fun-killers.

Anyhow, we managed to snap enough to show you what a party full of tech PR and journalists look like, and boy aren't you jealous? –Adam Frucci with photos by Richard Blakeley

These aren't exactly new, but this is a good time to remind you of their existence—we especially like the Rainbow LiteCubes that can be set to different colors, glowing constantly or going into a discotastic color-changing mode. They're $2.54 each, or $119.52 for a package of 48. – Charlie White

First of all, you're going to need a costume. Guys, you probably aren't interested in looking like sexy Wizard Wanda here (or maybe you are), but you might have a significant other who might like to wear this slightly revealing getup or some of the others at 3Wishes. After all, hasn't Halloween devolved to both guys and gals dressing like sluts?

More Halloweenage, after the jump.

Pumpkin Burger: This must be a Halloween-style way of serving meatloaf, and perhaps the most unusual pumpkin modification yet. Notice the pumpkin seeds masquerading as sesame seeds on the top. This, my friends, is the essence of Halloween.

Remind everyone that none of us get out of here alive with this Casket Business Card Holder, with a special slot in the top that holds those cards up for all to see. It's to die for at $23.99.

Take a look at this Jell-O mold that looks exactly like a human brain, and we can't quite put our finger on what these fingers are, but they must be some kind of pastry with what looks like almonds on the ends for fingernails. If your guests aren't too grossed out, these creations might be a big hit.

Make a pumpkin computer, and indulge either your Mac (it's a Classic, at right) or PC preference. Might seem kind of silly the rest of the year, but this Tuesday, you'll have the most appropriate computing device in the entire haunted house.

Project spirits: this weatherproof pattern projector will help you shine spooky bats or floating ghosts all over the side of your house, frightening the wits out of the neighbor kids, perhaps even scaring them away once and for all.

Arachnophobia: don't forget to stock up on remote-controlled tarantulas. This creepy-crawly's eight legs move separately, realistically skittering about under your complete control, you madman.

Tampon Goblins: It might take a while for your guests to realize exactly how you made this scary ghost with the jittery eyes and his ominous-looking bat friend. Hang them all over the place, but just keep it a little secret that you invaded Missy's underwear drawer for your raw materials. We're still chuckling that there's actually a blog called "Tampon Crafts." – Charlie White

The Web site has all the tools you need to manage your little fiesta, so you can send invites to your friends and snub your enemies. If you've decided to ruin your life and have children, fear not: a special TiVo KidZone Party is coming soon. The premise? Use TiVo's KidZone to hunt down kid-tested, mother-approved programming while the adults hang around discussing how great life was when Studio 54 was still around.

Don't miss September's Tivo House Party theme, a TiVo Tasting Party, where they'll provide you with " special programming, exclusive offers, and entertaining tips." Be sure to invite The Last Man to your swingin' parties. – Nicholas Deleon

Add a little green food coloring as you see in the picture here, and presto! Instant emeralds. Well, not exactly instant, but you can make them a lot quicker than the natural way. – Charlie White

You've been there: chicken leg on one hand, beer in the other, and then you want to grab your girlfriend. You're out of hands. Solve the problem with the beer holster. Works with a 12-ounce can or bottle and it's made out of rugged leather. It's $30. – Charlie White
