At least I didn't buy the space hopper...

Using shopping to cheer me up after being ill (well, still being ill, technically) leads to me coming home with random crap. I offer you today's purchases:

A rubber duck in a space suit
Space putty
Marvel Monopoly
A rubber man that's a USB hub
A bright green space invaders stress toy
Aloe vera vaseline

I'm not sure if that shopping list says more about me than I really want it to.

I came home with 6 Wii games, two bras for Sprog and some paella ...

Unfortunately not. But one of the Wii games is Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars which looks amazing in its b-movie-ness!

After a comet had passed the earth, all the planet's researchers concluded its strange green dust had no effect on the world. None noticed that tiny plants and fungi were acting strangely. Mushrooms, cacti, kudzu and other formerly-normal plants had awoken to full consciousness. Tribes quickly formed among the various mushroom species: the primitive Boletes, the aggressive Amanitas, and the inventive Morels. With nations formed, war inevitably followed.

Mushroom Men shows gamers the mundane world from the surreal perspective of a three-inch-high Mushroom Man. Unnoticed by humans, a war rages between the spore factions. As a brave Bolete Mushroom Man, players are given the opportunity to wreak havoc by transforming common household trinkets and trash into weapons and tools.
