Forget TV tropes, I've got Thinkgeek

[Froogleyboy]

Okay, alot of people hate going to TV tropes because of the whole "Wiki chain type experience" Or some blather, but now I have found Think Geek. I have spent hours clicking on the "If you live this, youll love . . ."

[Galileo]

That's time-devouring too, but I find TVtropes to be more time conuming simply because the links are dispersed throughout the page, so you've got to open tabs. With thinkgeek, all the links to new stuff are at the end, so there's nothing to keep you from using the same window.

I love Think Geek. I gotta buy something from it sometime. I think I want the Tetris Ice Cube Trays. :smallbiggrin:

Yeah, I'm buying a pocket cactus

The Stapleless Stapler! Now in Chaotic-Evil Black! (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/8b70/)

I got one of those! Coming from someone who loves cacti (don't ask), it made my Christmas. It was amazing!

I was absolutely crushed when I lost it. I'm not good with small things. :smallfrown:

Other than that . . . yeah, ThinkGeek is amazing. I have a list of things to buy when I have the money (so, basically never), and half of it's from ThinkGeek . . . if I actually had any money ThinkGeek would probably be draining it anyway.

I've got to stop buying them. I don't mind paying import tax but everyone makes it harder than it should be. :smallfurious:

Both sites are awesome. TVtropes for laughs and hours of amusement, and ThinkGeek for looking at things and wishing I had them, and imagining what I would do with that stuff, and...

Some of the stuff on ThinkGeek has also inspired ideas for a roleplay I'm in, which is another reason I like looking on there. :smallamused:

First off, hi, and welcome to 2009.

Yeah, Thinkgeek is cool, but its not a time wasting site. Sure, its great, and I own plenty of stuff from it (staple-free stapler is awesome!), but I've already been through everything on it. It is a store after all. Meanwhile, TV Tropes is something one reads, typically to kill time, and it serves the purpose well. I don't view the site as a replacement for TV Tropes or any of my webcomics.

[Player_Zero]

All the stuff is so overpriced though.

You don't have to be so negative

You don't have to be so negative

I'm not trying to be excessively negative, its just that one's an online store while the other is an extensive wiki.

If by extensive you mean thoroughly boring ...
