If Jack Bauer had to infiltrate Bilzzcon, or warp to Level 4 to assess an incoming terrorist threat in the Mushroom Kingdom, he would certainly be well served with either a Starcraft-themed messenger bag or this Mario-themed messenger bag. The Starcraft messenger bag is available from Razer, known for performance gaming mice, and featuress the image of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Ghost model or a comely Zerg girl. The Mario messenger bag sports an iconic image from the first few moments from World 1-1 of Nintendo Entertainment System pack-in Super Mario Bros. Currently, only the Mario bag is available at the 16-bit Etsy store alongside other classics like Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Asteroids, at a reasonable $49.00 USD. The current price listing for the Starcraft bag has yet to be determined, but if their line of “tournament level” gaming mice is any indication (the Mamba retails at $129.99 USD) anxious, Red Bull-fuelled Starcraft players should start saving a few resource to get access to this build. If I had to choose between the two Pocky-protectors, I’d side with the Mario-theme bag, just because I’m thrifty and have no measurable artistic talent that would allow me to retro-fit a regular messenger bag. Plus, the Mario World 1-1 bag just looks cool. The Starcraft bag does have some added benefits; if you’re up to the challenge, South Korean Starcraft players will know you play Starcraft II; after you lose, you can always try to impress some uninitiated fangirls with your “zerg rush.”
