When I think wedding cakes I think five foot tall tiered monsters, not one leveled gaming cakes. Don’t get me wrong, I think this cake would be absolutely AWESOME for a birthday or anniversary or even just a gaming get-together, but I think something as sacred as a geeky wedding calls for a little more than a single level Tetris cake.

They also don’t take into consideration the basic premise of the game. If these piece were all in place, the lines would have already vanished into your score. Come on people, think!

Anything can be deconstructed with a flowchart and almost everything has been. Today, it’s the Beatles’ turn. I still think Hey Jude is at least a little bit about the Holocaust. Come on, think about it. Jude? Jude! Hey Jude! Hey Jew! Heil Hitlah! I’m sick of the Beatles and their Nazi propaganda.

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.

The garter belt is one of the key elements to a successful wedding reception, second only to a great geeky wedding cake. I remember a time when I was around 7 or 8 that I happened to be the dude that caught the garter and was forced to put it on some old woman. That was not my proudest moment.

I might have been a little more excited and perhaps less scarred for life if I had seen a garter belt such as one of these. It might have shielded my attention from the varicose veins in my near future. The Pac-Man or Stormtrooper Garter Belts are guaranteed to add some life to your budget wedding reception.

While surfing through the ole feed reader today I came upon not one, but two awesome MJ “Thriller”-themed shirts, both with a geeky flair. The above tee print is a mash-up of Michael Jackson Thriller-era and the game Left 4 Dead. A perfect mix if you ask me.

Hit the jump for a lego-fied journey to the world of Thriller.

Just as they say “live by the sword, die by the sword,” the same goes for geeks. Mr. Alan here was such a fan of his Sun SPARCstation that his ashes were placed inside of one (a SPARCstation in pristine condition I might add), complete with a name plate decked out with a quote from what other show then, you guessed it, Star Trek. Mr. Larry Ellison could not be more mortified honored.

As long as he wasn’t placed in a creepy life-like image of himself, that’s fine with me.

When I was a kid I had my birthday at a bowling alley, like, 3 times. I was just that awesome. But if the bowling pins looked like this, I’d still be having my birthday parties there. These custom painted gaming bowling pins are equal part ugly and geek.

Mario might look like a pedophile and Link like a deranged serial killer, but hey, this is the closest you’re likely going to get to a full set of geeky bowling pins. Embrace the hideousness.

Music fans who prefer the sounds of Ravi Shankar to Metallica might prefer the game Sitar Hero, rather than Rock Band and Guitar Hero, or even Washboard Hero. If this game existed, would it be a hit? Possibly in India. I don’t think the sitar is a major player in American pop culture.

The Love Guru didn’t help too much. Try sitting through that movie and see how big of a sitar fan you are after that. Though I might chose this game over Sousaphone Hero.

These googly eyed Star Wars Finger Puppets would be awesome for performing a one-man puppet show, recreating the Star Wars trilogy in its entirety. Sure, there might be a very small audience sitting through the whole thing, but imagine the epicness.

Each puppet costs about $1 to make, factoring in the cost of the felt and a few drops of glue. You can easily make your own if you’re into the whole crafting thing. For extra points, add zombiness.

This amusing animated video by shamoozal takes a comical eye to the process of hooking up the classic NES gaming console. Nintendo might have started a gaming revolution with the NES, but thank the gaming lord that the hook up process has changed some.

Follow the rules in this video and you might just live to play a game or two.
