Get your eyes off that intern. Unhand that foosball table. Quit wasting time on Facebook. Stop reading Adrants, Get your ass out of your chair and go buy some Battle Wheels. Recently released by Johnny Lighting, these Transformer-ish things race, spin, crash, charge, crash and generally let you get your aggressions out without having to endure the senseless blood an gore of most online games. Plus, you won’t get carpel tunnel syndrome.

SCC Grossman Public Relations was kind enough to send us a pair to fool around with and that we did; continuously until we depleted our supply of batteries. There’s five “characters” which come with various body armor attachments and weapons. The goal is simply to knock all the loose parts off the other bot to win. It’s simple and it’s fun. And, no, they didn’t pay us to say that. We just thought you’d have fun racing the things around the office, scaring the shit out of the accounting dweeb in the corner cubicle or mounting a wireless camera on it then parking it under the desk of the hot, new intern.

Psychology says people who save the best bite of food for last aren’t being strategic — it’s delayed gratification wired so deeply that it persists even in contexts with zero stakes, and this trait actually correlates with long-term planning ability across totally unrelated domains
