Before kids started getting their own consoles and before smartphones and tablets were known for their gaming capabilities, kids back in the day (and even today, perhaps less frequently) would visit the arcade to get their gaming fix. Of course there are some games available in the arcade that one can’t play at home, but we can’t help but feel that arcade games in some ways felt more precious. Maybe it’s because unlike games at home where you can save and reload when you die, dying in arcade games meant having to spend more money retrying that level, or even restarting from scratch if you were too slow to reload before the countdown ended.
That being said, this arcade coin slot belt buckle is most certainly a hark back to the good old days and according to its creator, ifindustries, it is made from genuine recycled arcade parts and apparently it even lights up! Of course we’re not sure what sort of message is being sent here since it implies that it might only cost 25c to “play”, but we’re sure that gamers and geeks out there wouldn’t mind wearing this out of nostalgia. Unfortunately it is sold out but its creator has stated that they will be made to order, so pop on over to ifindustries’ Etsy page to get in touch with them.

It’s embarrassing when you go for a class or lecture, or attend a meeting or watch the movies when your phone suddenly starts to ring. This happens to the most careful of us from time to time as turning our phones off or putting it in silent mode just slips our mind. However this rather stylish jacket by designer Victor Johannson might be able to solve your woes by lining the interior of the jacket with the interference principles of a Faradays cage. This should in theory block all radio frequencies, thus turning your phone into a rather expensive piece of plastic while in your breast pocket. We’re not sure if this is the best solution, but we have to admit it looks pretty classy and could come in handy for those times when you just don’t want to be reached. Of course turning off your phone will work out the same way, but we’re always open to novel ideas.

One charge you could never level at Skullcandy is that its headphones are drab. But, if you were still thinking that the designs just aren’t, well, jazzy enough, perhaps the new Edit service is for you. Taking a page out of Fanny Wang’s book, the headphone maker has handed the painter’s palette over to you. An online tool presents you with a stock pair of Aviators, letting you choose the color of the headband, frame, cord and ear caps — all for $199. If you’re even more fussy specific, an extra $20 will open up extra cap options. The creatively challenged among you needn’t worry either, as there is a randomize button, and once you’ve conjured up something to your taste, naturally you can share it with your social world. Already set on your team’s colors? Wave a brush over the source link to get started.
