Nunchucks and bo staffs and blades with sharp edges;
Scaling tall buildings and peering from ledges;
Throwing my stars from a zip-lining string,
These are a few of my favorite things…

Shadowy bretheren (and ladies), welcome to Day of The Ninja. The official holiday doesn’t begin until December 5th, but since Toobix revels in these types of events, we decided to start the festivities a few days early. So we are hereby declaring this Weekend of the Ninja!

Unlike International Talk Like a Pirate Day there will be no silly speeches with “yar” after every fifth word.  There will be no endless stories of the past to show you how too much ale and rum seems to correlate all too well with the loss of body parts.  And there will certainly be no more idly wasting your life away sailing circles around Shamu.  Instead, we will clear our minds, sharpen our talents (and swords), and wait for the perfect time to make a tactical strike.  That is the way of the ninja. 

So let us not waste any more time and begin discussing your mission for the weekend:

1) A new challenge has been added to Hampton’s Very Bad Day.  Are you ready for Sudden Death Mode? Help the smallest white ninja avoid an onslaught of obstacles, but beware: one mistake and it’s all over! We’re also awarding prizes for the highest score. The contest will run from now until midnight on Dec 17, 2009. If you’d like to enter the contest, be sure to use your forum/gamer account username in the “name” field when you submit your score, so we can verify who you are. On Friday Dec 18, we’ll announce the winner, and that person will receive a shirt of their choice from the gamer gear shop, and their choice of 3 songs from the Digital Media Shop! Note: to claim your t-shirt and music, please send us a private forum message/email with your address, shirt design, shirt size, shirt color, and song choices. Prize must be claimed by 12/31/09.

2) Things have been brewing over at the Toobix Game Lab. Head over there to investigate. Report back with news of any dinopirate / roboninja sightings.

3) You call yourself a ninja.  Now it’s time to dress like one.  Look for these sweet ninja-themed shirts in the gamer gear shop:    

So 2BXGMRs, it’s time to unsheathe your digital kitanas and click the links above.  Let Weekend of the Ninja begin!
