Some good news for your Sunday, your day of rest. Retromags, a Web site that scans and archives old (up till 1999) video game magazines, has got its hands on the very first issue of Game Informer. Let us celebrate!

The issue hasn’t been scanned yet, so you’ll wait a little while longer to read about Game Genie Controversies, Funco and how to beat that new Sonic game.

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Retromags, but it’s pretty great. (Is what the site’s doing legal? I don’t know and, more importantly, I don’t care.) It’s just great to go back and read some of the old mags every now and then.

And while we’re on the subject, it’s the site’s 4th birthday this month, so lifetime premium accounts (you can download more magazines per week), the money of which goes toward buying more old magazines from eBay, is only $10. That’s so cheap even I can afford it!

Now then, back to my day of rest, which includes watching Ken Burns’ The Civil War.

It’s a Saturday morning. You’re making Silver Dollar Hots for the family. The doorbell rings. It’s the mailman. He’s brought a CubeGuard.

That’s right: on the traditional day before or the actual day of rest, the mailman is here to bring you something to remind you of work. But what a gadget it is! It’s basically one of those crowd control tapes with a spring loaded reel to wind it back up after use. However, this tape has a calming scene – a mountain range or a happy face – with a message (”Do not disturb” or, in my case, “John is blogging. Do not disturb.”

That’s right: it’s crowd control tape for your cubicle. Read on for more info and a giveaway.

The CubeGuard has magnets on either side as well as high-test Velcro fasteners for folks without a metal door frame. The standard kit costs $19.99 for the standard kit and ten dollars more for a custom model.

Do they make sense? Sure. In a world full of distractions these things are kind of cute and a nice way to ensure that dude who no one likes at work who always asks what’s up after work and who always ends up finding out that you’re all going to Red Robin doesn’t poke his head around your cube door. Besides, we all need a little fun in our lives.

That said, CubeGuard is giving us 10 $19.99 coupons to give away. I’ll give them away to 10 commenters at random. Good luck and sorry to bring up work on a Saturday. I’ll close the contest at noon on Tuesday.
