Hasta La Gadget!

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.

It’s probably the most oft repeated seven-word phrase in the history of gaming – but the admonition by the old man in The Legend of Zelda are wise words for life in general. After all, you should always bring a trusty companion on your life’s adventures.

With the help of this handmade throw from Penelope and Clyde, you’ll be able to cuddle up under this pixelated prose whenever you nod off or need to keep warm in your cold dungeon. The 4’3″ wide by 3’4″ long throw is made from acrylic yarn, love and a big bag of pixels.

So grab your sword and shield and battle your way through some Octoroks on the way to Etsy, where you can grab this for $160(USD). Now when are they going to make this version?
