How do you take your Jack Daniel’s? I prefer mine with a twist of strategy and just a hint of geekery. Oh… and three ice cubes please.
The Jack Daniel’s Chess Set encourages drunken chess tournaments, which can never end good. What experience I have playing chess under the influence ended with one broken chess set and a trip to the hospital for an emergency extraction procedure.
Don’t let people judge you just because you opted for a foosball table instead of a kitchen table. Like we ever have time to eat at home anymore anyway. I mean, hellooooo, it’s the 21st century. In fact, flaunt the fact! Accessorize and accentuate your foosball theme. And what better way to accessorize your home decor than with a few coat hangers.
Lay down your beer bong and slip off your jacket, the Offside Foosball Coat Hanger provides an excellent tabletop game-themed spot to keep your room organized. Just because you live in a mancave, doesn’t mean said cave needs to look like a pigsty.
Things have really changed since the days of NES game releases. Ok, maybe things haven’t changed that much.
These wheatpaste game covers are the result of AltrdBst’s handy work. Taking us back to the good ole’ days when racism was acceptable and assassination was expected.
Scrabble is geeky enough to begin with, but you can imagine the depths of geekiness that can be reached limiting yourself to only words of geekage. The above board is the geekiest game of Scrabble I’ve ever seen played and likely the geekiest I’ll ever see.
Even if you don’t use words like “vociferous” or “solipsism” you can still have some good ole’ geeky fun and earn a crap-load of points. Bonus points if you can convince the other players that “nerdz” is a real word.
For people who grew up on games like Pac-Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and Super Mario Bros. these Retro Arcade Game Messenger Bags are like a little piece of heaven.
I’m a geek, which means I tote a lot of crap around with me wherever I go. My camera, a book or two, my various electronics, a moleskine, so on and so forth. A bag of some sort is essential for getting through the day. I might just have to fork out some cash for one of those Mario or Space Invader bags. Hell, maybe both.
Featuring a ridiculous 9900 black and white diamonds, this Diamond Chess Set goes beyond opulence and skips right to “I’m so rich I use hundreds as toilet paper” and “I eat diamond encrusted cupcakes” money.
The $224,000 price tag actually seems sort of low considering the crazy amount of craftmanship and the thousands of gems installed in the set. 4500 hours of artisanship was poured into this thing. Reasonable is pushing it. More stuff you will never have a chance to own.
With the iPhone 3.0 OS officially dropping today (though some of us have had ours for a week and have since hacked it for tethering!), MLB.com is pulling all punches with its new iPhone App, At Bat. While the app itself isn’t new, the 3.0 update will give owners the chance to stream live baseball games at no additional cost. The first game to be streamed will be tomorrows Sox vs Cubs matchup at 2:20pm. For $10, you seriously can’t beat this deal.
Apparently an Apple a day doesn’t keep the psychiatrist away.
Fight the power! Damn tech corporations trying to brainwash us with their awesome Wolfenstein and Metal Gear Solid games.
This has gotta hurt the ego of Take-Two and Rockstar Games. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the latest iteration of GTA on the Nintendo DS, hasn’t been selling. At all. Since its release in March, it’s sold a mere 88,704 copies. Compare that with over 7 million copies of GTA IV and you have a complete massacre. Business Insider thinks the reason for the lack of sales is due to the fact that most DS owners are children, with which I somewhat agree.
Regardless, Rockstar better start pushing this game hard or its top franchise is in for a hurtin’.
Holy shit. Apparently Miyamoto still has some ideas lodged in that adolescent skull of his. Nintendo has recently filed a patent application in the US for a system that will potentially aid gamers via computer controlled characters in sections too difficult for the player to overcome. This idea comes straight from Miyamoto who is worried that some games are too difficult for players to proceed through and the gamer’s ambition to play ends prematurely because of this.
This new patent should help prevent such situations and assist newbies too novice enough to pass tricky puzzles in Nintendo games aimed at five-year-olds. So, if you find yourself lost, having no idea where the next dungeon is, allow the computer to take control of your character to show you the correct route. It beats playing through the game yourself and accomplishing success all on your own. In the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson: “Can’t someone else do it?”
