My Brain looks like yo Mother...Brain
Snowmeister \| 8:44 AM on 12.07.2007	6 comments

Hmm....seems slightly familiar to any Metroid-gleaned eyes doesn't it?

I wonder if Nintendo have spied the similarity between their Aurora-Unit-Turned-Evil and this 'Educational Toy'. All I know is you wouldn't catch Mother Brain teaching kiddies the universal encyclopedia not when there are planets to control, space pirates to reign over, and bounty hunters to destroy. Education of the laser-kind only!

What's worse is the $119.95 (that's around Ł79.00 for those of us with limey origins). I thought you paid for schools to teach kids anyway?

How much is the manufacturer charging for booster packs of 5 missiles?

if i had money i would get one and mod it to look like mother brain.

Selling educational toys of this kind is just another way of taking advantage of the really stupid people anyway.

That is fucking creepy

I would only buy that for a child I hated and wanted to terrorize.

Hmm...the specs are slightly disturbing too. I don't think if I was as young as that kid I'd be too happy about having that in my room!

A Mod = Win, though!

about me

I am a typical Brit! That means sarcasm is plentiful, tea is essential, and a general grumbling about later release dates is to be expected.

I mostly play RPG's and have been a lifelong fan of the Metroid and Final Fantasy series.

Anything that Square-Enix thinks can make them more money out of their fans from I will probably be in the queue for - I owe thanks to Destructoid for giving the news of my limited edition Crisis Core PSP out. My life would be incomplete without another piece of Final Fantasy-related gumf.

I'm a curious gamer too. The type that looks a little too deeply at games a little too often, but then can simply enjoy the warm-fuzzy feeling from holding the shotgun in FPS games...

I've been having issues with Xbox live for a while now so mortifyingly have to play under my dad's gamer tag...

Currently Playing: Well, I finished LocoRoco at last and I am currently playing jack shit whilst I wait for Play.com to restock Zack and Wiki...
