Last week you got to see Princess Nagger’s new toy stemming from her current obsession with Portal, which is a puzzle-platform game that makes you use your brain and solve the puzzles by teleporting yourself using the “Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device”:
Another quirky part of the game are turrets that are part of the main computer you’re trying to beat. Naturally Princess Nagger wanted to get a turret too, and since they were on sale, how could I resist:
The ‘warning’ on the back of the box especially cracked me up:
In case you don’t feel like clicking on the image to make it ginormous for you to read, or your reading glasses aren’t quite strong enough, here’s what it says:
WARNING: This turret is not a replacement for a home security system. In fact, we would recommend investing in a security system if you haven’t already. These things can go rogue. We can’t stop them. They’re loose cannons; they play by their own rules. You should respect that.
ATTENTION: By purchasing this turret you are renouncing your legal right to call us about any shooting injuries caused by the turret (up to and including death). This is one of those non-refundable, non-suing-us situations. Don’t even phone to see how we’re doing. We’re busy, and quite frankly, we need some space.
Isn’t that hilarious? This replica is really tiny. Like fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand tiny:
Isn’t that cute? They are sold ‘blind’, meaning you don’t know which version you’ll get when you order them, and Princess Nagger was tickled she got the exact one she wanted:
When she’s happy, I’m happy. And I’m thankful that she’s into fun games and puzzle games instead of violent or shoot-em-up type games.
Bet you want a quirky, rogue turret now too, don’t you?

That looks like a great toy.
I’ve heard about this game before but I have never really tried it. Now you are making me wonder if I should 🙂
Never heard of this game either. It does seem like it might be lots of fun, though. Will have to google it and see if they also sell it on this side of the Pond. 🙂
Oh, that DOES look like loads of fun!
LOL, love the small print on the box – great sense of humor!
How fun. And awesome she got the exact model she wanted!
Great pics and oh my goodness that warning is funny!
I’ve seen those turrets advertised somewhere, now I’ll have to see if I can find one at SpaceCity Con next month.
Happy WW!

She is such a cutie! A little minnie me huh? Thanks for sharing & letting us watch her grow up into a beautiful young lady! Now I believe you said to use today’s link when signing up to your linky so you can see my pic. 🙁 I did – no pic! Please just one more time tell me what you learned to do this again – before I go bonkers. I am bound & determined to do this. Just tell me one more time & I’ll leave it alone. PROMISE! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Another reason PN is one of my honorary children. Has she beaten the game? If not, she should know the last level is a bit of a bugger. Also, Portal 2 is more than twice as long, tons more fun (if that’s possible), and comes with a level editor.
Cave Johnson for President.
Looks like a really cool game, I’ll have to look into it! 🙂
How lucky she got the one she wanted. I love those warnings! lol
hahaha, my kind of warning…
It looks like Princess Nagger is totally getting into some cool technology. How fun!
That is the best packaging on a box EVER!!!! 🙂
I predict that Princess Nager is going to be the next Bill Gates.
How cool are those?! My girls would totally dig those too. Love the warning label. lol
It is nice when they’re easy to make happy. Nice pics, all of them. 🙂
so neat..happy Wednesday!
You bet I do! lol
This sounds so futuristic to me I can’t understand about that game..I am getting old..sigh…
