Hasta La Gadget!

These simply designed video game glasses are great. Your beer is going to look awesome against a backdrop of Galaga aliens, Space Invaders, the Pac-Man maze or Centipede.

You can get all of the games I just mentioned and they all look amazing. This will certainly impress your friends whenever you have them over. In fact, they might just try to walk off with a glass or two.

They are made by Etsy seller CrawlspaceStudios and will cost you about $20(USD) for a pair of two.

I’m going to get myself a set of these. The drunker I get, the more those Space Invaders will move.

As the Starks used to say “Winter is Coming!” so you’d better start thinking about how you’re going to keep warm when Fall is over. You could freeze your bippy off, or you could cover it up with a ghost from Pac-Man.

These handmade crocheted blankets from AtomicBits are just the thing to give you a little added warmth as you cozy up on the couch in front of your shiny new PS4 or XBone this holiday season.

At a little over 2-feet-square, they’re actually a better size for a baby blanket, but you get the point. They still will look cool thrown on your bed or couch. Each one is made from anti-allergic Acrylic/Wool thread, and is perfect for any retro gaming fanatic. They’re currently available in red (Blinky) and orange (Clyde) versions, though I’m sure you could convince AtomicBits to make you an Inky, Pinky or blue ghost if you ask nicely.

Etsy, the online marketplace for DIYers, just announced several changes to its seller policies, giving store owners significantly more control over how they run their businesses. Going forward, sellers will be able to hire as many employees as necessary, as well as use outside companies to deliver their products and outsource manufacturing to third parties (provided they receive Etsy’s approval).

Most notably, these changes allow for a wider definition of “handmade” — now, the idea for an item simply must originate with the seller. This means 3D-printed items can carry the prized handmade distinction, for instance. And this change isn’t just about semantics; previously, Etsy customers could assume items that didn’t look handmade were breaking the site’s rules and consequently steer clear.

We’ve already seen official Iron Man hoodies, but if you want something more unique – to the extent that copies can be described as unique – check out this cotton hoodie made by Catherine Kim aka Iamknight. It’s not in Shellhead’s trademark colors, but I think that’s a good thing. It’s a lot easier to find clothes and shoes that match a black hoodie than a red and gold one.

As with Kim’s other armor-themed hoodies, the mask of this hoodie is detachable. Kim said that the hoodie is a mix of different versions of the Iron Man armor. She said that she copied the abdomen and elbows of the Mk. VIII armor and combined that with the chest and shoulders of the Mk. VII armor.

You can order the Iron Man suit hoodie from Kim’s Etsy shop for $450 (USD). That’s Tony Stark pricing right there.

Borderlands is a fun game series, and I really don’t hate Claptrap. It’s just that this little robot is so annoying that I sometimes want to unload clip after clip of ammunition into his metal body, then burn it. Then stomp on it. Because this damned robot will not shut the hell up. Ever.

Look at me. I’m dancing. Now you dance in hell! Felt good to get that off my chest. Anyway, I love this Clap Trap pillow, because it does not talk. It is from Etsy seller Cyberscribe.

You can also get other Borderlands characters like Mad Moxxi, Deathtrap, and Salvador the Gunzerker in pillow form. This one is probably the cutest – though Gaige isn’t bad. It is nice and quiet and not acting insane so you can actually rest your head on it and sleep.
