Netflix Player by Roku

The Netflix update to the Xbox 360's dashboard is a fantastic feature - as long as you have a 360, that is. You can always stream the TV shows and movies in Netflix's instant viewing library to your laptop, but that makes cuddling on the couch while watching old episodes of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century somewhat problematic. The solution: Roku's Netflix player, which for about a hundred bucks lets you stream Netflix content to your television, completely 360-free.

Mana Potion Energy Drink

An Escapist staff member described the taste of the Mana Potion energy drink as "what the syrup for blue raspberry Mountain Dew would taste like. Not the soda, just the syrup." Our respect for potion-guzzling magic users the world over has just gained a level. Somewhat acquired taste aside, the Mana Potion will perk you up after a long playing session, and it sure is awfully cute. We suggest you leave it sitting on your desk and only crack it open in case of a serious energy emergency.
