Imagine you, with 5 of your best buddies, a case of Mtn Dew chilling to the left, a heaping bag of Cheetos aging to your right, and one of the finest video game to board game translations laid out before your eager eyes.

I picked up the WoW board game back when it sold for 99 bucks! Did you know you can get it for $56.95 right now?? Insane. Just a quote to wet your appetite:

Take on the role of a chivalrous paladin or a wise shaman, a holy priest or a vile warlock, a mighty mage or a crafty rogue. Play as a savage orc, a mighty tauren, a tribal troll, or one of the Forsaken undead; become an ingenious gnome, a doughty dwarf, a mysterious Night Elf, or a noble human.

Based on the popular World of Warcraft Massively Multiplayer Online Game from Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft: the Board Game invites the players to choose from 16 characters, drawn from the eight races and nine character classes of the Warcraft universe, and take up arms for the glory of the Horde… or the Alliance. Travel across Lordaeron, vanquish monsters, gain experience and power, and earn honor for your faction.

World of Warcraft: the Board Game is a team-based fantasy adventure. The Horde and the Alliance factions must compete to be the first to defeat the invincible Overlord — be it the lich-king Kel’Thuzad, the dragon Nefarian, or the demon Kazzak — or, failing that, to be the last faction standing when it comes to all-out war!

Oh man, is this game good times. Take it from me, there is hardly a better thing to do on a cold winter night than play this with your buds. Get it now!

Hey folks, due to a snow storm here in Montreal, ZeStuff is severely understaffed today.

Because of this, we won’t be able to finish the priting of some of the shirt and consequently, we won’t be able to start shipping them.

We should be able to start shipping the two models tomorrow and probably be done with them by the 6th. We’re really sorry about this delay.

They say “Better late than never”. I say “Oh crap, are we Friday already?!”

So anyway, as you can see, things are very busy here at ZeStuff. The Christmas shopping has started and there’s a lot of stuff to ship out everyday.

Here’s a list of suggestions for your loved ones, all in the $11 - $20 range:

Gift suggestion #1: Delicious Cake T-Shirt - $16.95

Gift suggestion #2: Ducti - Hybrid Wallet - $16.95

Gift suggestion #3: Leo Leonardo Plushie - $14.95

Gift suggestion #4: Munchkin - The original card game - $18.95

Gift suggestion #5: Marshmallow Shooter - $19.95

In my next gift idea article, hopefully Monday, I will cover the $21 - $40 range.

Be good!

I’ve worked in the computer business in one form or another since 1992, and nothing, and I mean nothing says “geek sheek” more than a belt made out of real IDE cable.

You’re probably saying to yourself, “whoa, slow down there old man! Our hard drives use SATA cables…take your ancient artifacts and head right back to the nursing home you escaped from!”

Yeah, yeah…how 2002 of me. Seriously, a belt made of hard drive data cable? I hardly have words. So I will just say this: Get one of these things and be the first on your block to celebrate the universal transfer of data over copper conduction! Hey, even if you can’t rotate at 7200 rpm, you’ll still be the bell of the ball. Are you the master, or are you the slave? That’s for you to decide.

This week, I’m going to be focusing on cool Christmas gift ideas for all budgets. I will target a different price range each day but for today, let’s focus on those of you with a smaller wallet.

Hello everyone! Now that the US thanksgiving is behind us (everyone got their full share of turkey and cranberry?), we can start talking about the upcoming holidays.

Like all previous years, we have prepared a list of shipping deadlines along with our business hours for December. We know that you don’t want to give their loved ones their gift after Christmas so we made a couple of calls to make sure that what we’re giving you is as precise as possible.

Of course, if you can order now, do not hesitate! The sooner, the better. Sure, some of you can wait until December 21st to get their shopping done and use a overnight shipping method but who knows what can happen. I’ve seen FedEx unable to deliver on time because their planes couldn’t get off the ground due to a crappy weather. These things happen and, of course, they always happen at the worse possible time.

So without further ado, I present you the ZeStuff 2007 holiday deadlines and business hours.

I’ve not mentioned this to too many people yet, but I honestly feel like I witnessed something really special with Portal. When a game can grab me with completely unique gameplay, great humor, mad originality, and a crazy good story, well…that is truly a special day indeed.

I confess I can still hear the computer voice in my head, and I swear I see blue and orange holes in the wall at nearly every turn.

I’m happy to report that I’ve found a way to walk around with my Portal obsession plastered all over me. The shirts are not only brilliant, they act as a reminder of just how great gaming is, and how far it has really come over the years. Do yourself a favor and pre-order one of these today.

Better late than never they say.

Our winner for this month’s contest is Mattzilla with “The first screenshots of Turok for next gen platforms are less than promising”.

Mattzilla, you are now the proud owner of a Marshmallow Bow & Mallow. Stand up and take a bow!

(I swear I didn’t see that one coming. Frankly, I kinda apologize for it.)

The other night I distinctly remember trying to pick a freshly planted plasma grenade from the back of my neck during a rash of Halo 3 matches, and as it exploded a voice came to me and whispered the following into my head. “You really need to get your hands on a scale model of an medieval siege weapon of some sort.” I realize how strange that sounds, but these voices have said worse before.

Check out the specs on this bad boy:

Seriously, who here hasn’t thought about hucking a candy bar across the room at your co-worker using nothing less than the Kings preferred war machine? Get all you need and more, right here. All that and a 20ft range? Sheesh…sign me up.

So you think you have your nerd night all figured out…where you and your buddies all sit around the table and cast cards at each other until the light of dawn. You figure your current stacks of WoW collectable card game cards is plenty for your needs. Well, you’re wrong.

The “Feast of Winter Veil Collector’s Set” is upon us, and there will be no denying the following included stuff:

10 exclusive Feast of Winter Veil cards that can’t be found anywhere else and feature new content that are all usable in your favorite WoW TCG deck!

Two exclusive Pet mini-cards that allow players to customize their experience even more!

An exclusive holiday deck box featuring Feast of Winter Veil artwork

One Heroes of Azeroth booster pack

One Through the Dark Portal booster pack

You know you want it. I know I want it. We all know what we know, and what we know is, we want it. Want it already? Then get it here.
