Top Camera Deal
Cameras and Drones Black Friday Deals at Best Buy
Up to 50% offNow that your phone has started augmenting your photos with A.I. nonsense, the only way you can reliably trust your own memories is to capture them with a discrete camera. Inconvenient, sure, but less so than coming across a photo 20 years from now where the details don't match anyone's memory of it, and trying to figure out if you all just Mandela Effected yourselves into believing something false, thus falling into a deep existential crisis about what else in your past is just a fabrication of either your mind or your camera roll. Brrr. Better to just enjoy these discounts on mirrorless cameras and GoPros and drone cameras now, and peace of mind in the future.
Top Toys & Hobbies Deal
Super Mario Hover Shell Strike
$9.99I know what you're thinking: this is just air hockey in a cunning disguise. And to that, I say: Yes, but also without borders or goal sockets, so when one scores a point on one's opponent, the puck will glide entertainingly off the tabletop into the distance, requiring them to trek all the way over to retrieve it. This is the kind of minute but consistent punishment that will train your little one to never concede another point in air hockey ever again. It's probably also fun or something, but that's not the point. Negative reinforcement — the key to all sports.
Top Camping & Outdoors Deal
Camping, Garden, & Outdoor Deals at Woot
Up to 63% offIt's truly a travesty that we've consigned a product called a "heated hammock chair" to only being used while camping or outdoors. I could be reclining in one right now! Awkwardly, uncomfortably propped up so I can continue operating my keyboard and mouse, sure, but think of how toasty my butt would be. Strike a blow for sanity: shop this sale for your next camping trip, sure, but use that hammock chair whenever and however possible. Don't let the world take your comfort from you.
Top Shoe Deal
Converse Men's Chuck Taylor All Star Malden Street Vintage Athletic Shoes
$17Much as how you had to use the kid to kill that old snake, you gotta use coupon code "CYBERWEEK" to save the money. Specifically, to save $39 on these Converse shoes compared to buying elsewhere. With a quick use of my internet machine, I've found Malden Streets in Chicago, San Diego, and Middlesex, MA, and I'm sure there are more. But I don't know which one these shoes are named for. Now that these shoes have been designated a Staff Pick by hallowed organ DealNews dot com, though, being that titular street is surely a prize worth fighting for. This fight will be the basis for the sequel to Alex Garland's Civil War, which I did not see, but am sure must have had a similar premise.
Top BBQs & Grills Deal
Blackstone Deals at Walmart
Up to 60% offNovember isn't traditionally grilling season, at least where I'm from. But that's only because I'm not from Australia, Down Under, the Antipodes, The Big Wotzit. Australians would relish these grilling deals that put the "Blackstone" in "Black Friday" — the "stone" is silent. For everyone from not-Australia, these are simply out-of-season discounts that will make you look big and clever come next summer, when you're sitting in your heated hammock chair, watching your grill competently sear some meat, and thinking about the ad reads for the "Mangrate" from Norm Macdonald's old YouTube show.
