Pinball. It's awesome and you know it. That's why you need this bad boy for your iPad: the Duo Pinball. I could tell you all about it by using double entendres and providing clever links to hilarious references, but instead you should just watch this video because the internet can't always do all the work for you:
ThinkGeek.com, in case you didn't already know, rules. Besides the fact that they have a gazillion different tech/geek/nerd items available to the savvy spaz for purchase, most of their products won't break the bank, wilt your wallet or chomp your change like some other gadgety stores (cough, cough - Brookstone and Sharper Image). Plus they looove retro stuff like this super-awesome Bluetooth-enabled Nintendo-styled gamepad for your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Android device.
Dig it:
Classic retro-styled game controller fits in your pocket and works with iPhone & iPad
8 button control including 4 face buttons, select, start, and two shoulder buttons... plus the D-Pad for movement
Wireless Bluetooth® connection with auto power save mode

An interesting registration card from a vintage video game controller I bought on eBay. Note the part about "family income" at the bottom. Back then, if you made more than $35,000 a year you were a millionaire.
