A Blizzard Entertainment game, from the StarCraft series that started development in 2001, with a planned release date between 2002 and 2003, but development had been placed on hiatus as of 2006.
Planned initially for the PS2 and Xbox game systems, a GameCube version was also in the works, but cancelled in 2005. The employees of Nihilistic Software, the company that was developing the game, had quit en masse due to an internal power struggle with Blizzard, and Swingin' Ape Studios was acquired by Blizzard to continue work, at which point the GCN version was dropped to concentrate on the other two versions.
The game's story was set four years after the events of StarCraft Brood War, the expansion to the original game. It was centered on the missions of the Terran Dominion Ghost Operative, Nova, who is trying to uncover the secrets behind the project Shadow Blade; aimed with using terrazine gas to transform Ghosts into shadowy superhumans known as Spectres. In her encounters, Nova uses some familiar and some new technology and abilities used by Ghosts, from cloaking, to locking down enemy robotics, to using her psionic powers to perform daring superhuman feats of strength and agility.

Get the StarCraft: Ghost mug.1. Forceful, yet playful interaction between a throbbing happy-rod and <insert orifice here>. Doesn't really need much more explanation.

Get the penised mug.The nickname of Master Revan from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for Xbox and PC, given to him/her after successfully defeating Darth Malak, destroying the Star Forge, and bringing balance to the Force and justice to the galaxy. The significance of the name refers to how Revan was originally captured as a Sith Lord, brought back from the brink of death by Bastila, had his/her memory erased and rewritten, regained his/her memories of the Star Forge and of being Dark Lord of the Sith, remaining a Jedi despite the resurfacing memories, mastering the force...and so on. The point is, Revan was going to conquer the galaxy as a Sith Lord, and ended up saving it as a Jedi.
Master Vandar: We Jedi now have another tale to weave into the grand history of hour eternal Order - the Redemption of Revan, the prodigal knight.

Get the The Prodigal Knight mug.In Fable, although the game is developed by Big Blue Box and this is obviously a reference to the company that made the game, there is a legend about the first man choosing which world his people would live in. He had a choice between a large blue box, and a small red box. Believing the latter represented the sun, he chose the large blue cube. The gods, knowing the true differences between the two, revealed that the red box had only enough room for all the good in the world, and the blue box had room for all the good and the evil, and that the man had damned his people to life as we knew it in the dark ages. My point is, GameCube was a big blue box, full of some good things (Resident Evil 4, Zelda, Mario, SSBM...), but over stuffed with horrible things (i.e. Barbie Games, Generic Japanese Anime RPGs).
disenfranchisedgamerboy1: Man, I wish Nintendo had taken the small red box approach--I mean, the GameCube could have better represented Nintendo as something small, red, and boxy-- so I wouldn't accidentally make friends with those other gamers who play Xbox and PS2 and end up spending money on those systems.
disenfranchisedgamerboy2: Totally, dude.

Get the GameCube mug.1. A Link Cable Transmitted Disease (LCTD) contracted by contact with an infected person, television set, computer, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, or Nintendo Wii, causing sore thumbs, headaches, the inability to forget anything related to this cash cow franchise, including but not limited to the names of all 493 pokemon, their stats, growth rates, locations and availability, habits, mating rituals, history, food chains, ecosystems, and origins.
2. Symptoms include: the inability to speak or think about anything unrelated to anything other than pokemon, and upon realization of the condition, a vain attempt to join in the conversations of others just to feel accepted after almost 10 years of knowing only pokemon as their god, and finally, a burning sensation caused whilst urinating.

Get the Ithurtswhenipikachu (PokeMonnorhea) mug.Ok, there's the Dark side definition of Revan, and this is the Light side version. Revan's true actions, personality, history, and even identity were lost to time and myth. But it is absolutely certain that this is true:
Master Revan was the wisest Jedi/Sith to ever grace the galaxy. He was a Jedi, but abandoned the Order to join the Mandalorian wars in 4006 BBY (BEFORE BATTLE OF YAVIN). He then "fell" to the Dark side (according to a conversation between the Jedi Exile and the fallen Jedi Kreia, Revan cleverly orchestrated the Republic's "demise" to draw out the true Sith and prepare the Republic against a potential war with the Old Sith Empire) and harnessed the power of the ancient space station built by the Rakatan Empire in 20,006 BBY: The Star Forge. His apprentice, Darth Malak, was also a fallen Jedi who followed Revan into the war. Malak betrayed Revan from afar when his masters ship was boarded by a Jedi strike team in the Bpffash system. After having his memory essentially rewritten by the Jedi Council, Revan then returned as an avatar of the Force and exacted his revenge on his former apprentice. Revan then left republic space, leaving the Republic to fend for itself. After Lord Malak's defeat, the Sith Empire collapsed into civil war in the absence of a Dark Lord, and Revan disappeared in the Outer Rim. No one know where Revan roams now, not Bastila, not Carth, not even T3-M4. BUT REVAN LIVES!

Revan was the true Sith'ari, the legendary messiah of the Sith, said to walk the path between the Light and Dark sides of the Force, while being neither Sith, nor Jedi. It was he who brought balance to the living Force, but not without the help of millions of Republic and Sith soldiers, and especially the companions he traveled with.
