    What is this strange orb-shaped thing? Is it a Jedi Mind Trainer? A strange onacup? A magical ball of joy? Perhaps all of those things are right… and none of them. This, my friends, is a prototype Marshmallow Landmine. You load this thing up with marshmallows and it shoots them off when enemies approach. It’s part [...]
