You can tell we've watched too many of Paul Rudd's appearances on Conan O'Brien's various shows, because as soon as we hear "Mac mini", we picture that one scene from Mac and Me. You know the one. It's never a bad thing, until you realise that the movie has some pretty strange scenes. None of this has much to do with the actual Apple computer you're looking at, except that maybe you'll end up doing some video editing on here, and any inspiration is good inspiration. So says this freak.

Yes: this game is good. Ideally, you quickly ignore the story, and turn off time limits on your disassembly missions, and just use it as a strangely meditative experience to occupy your hands while you listen to a podcast or twelve, or maybe Vangelis' Blade Runner score. It's like the sci-fi sister game to Power Wash Simulator, except with a larger potential for enormous antimatter explosions because of your clumsy lasering.

The thing about wearing shoes is that they're on your feet, and that's what On leans into as a brand. What good are shoes if they're off? It's a question that has troubled philosophers for generations — that's why they ask about a tree falling in the forest instead of shoe that's not being worn, it's too troubling a concept for even our greatest minds. And that's why these are On, not Off. Except of course they are off — up to 50% off. What am I talking about.

We're receiving word from one of our frontline deal jockeys that this iRobot Roomba Combo j5 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is 53% off, which equates to a price of $250 and the best we've ever seen. While the boffins at Castle DealNews verify this information, we might admire the four stage cleaning system, app control, and impressively capitalized No Mop Zones system. Ok, I've got perpetually crankified colleague A. Byrne on the line and he's confirming that yes, this Roomba is as good a deal as we believed it to be. He's also going on a tirade about how Blu Tack just isn't the same as it was 20 years so now is a great time to hang up and pretend the call dropped.
