To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of American McGee's Alice, Epic Weapons is announcing that it will be releasing a life-sized replica of the game's key weapon, the Vorpal Blade.
I'm not going to describe the 18 5/8" blade, because… just look at this thing. It's going to be available for pre-order purchase at Comic Con next week, with the first 25 blades going up for live auction from July 22 through July 22. You can pre-register for the auction starting today.
How much will one of the suckers set you back? The Vorpal Blade itself will run you $89.95; the special stand (where else are you going to put this thing?) is another $19.95. Only 1,000 are being made, so act fast. Your life will be that much richer for having this in your collection.

...ow.
This might shock you, but it doesn't need to be on Steam for you to play it.
No shit, but it's rather hard to find otherwise. They have it on amazon for $100+ for a new copy and I'm not about to put $30+ down on a used copy. Hence I have to wait for it to come to steam since I'm not a filthy pirate.
It'll totally be worth it though.
The discs alone I have seen go for $10 a bunch of times.
Rock this knife with the Sonic Colors pre-order hat, and you have an appropriate cosplay of what a old Sonic fan has been through over the years. ;)
To order your replica go to http://www.epicweapons.com/products/alicevorpalblade.php
Besides, if anyone would bother to read Charles Dodgson's original works such 'edgy' re-imaginings are utter trash.
A re-release certainly wouldn't hurt, although Chaddicus describes the game quite accurately. A couple of years ago, I found the budget version for £3 on a market stall ;-)
