I'm in Love With This Pacman Necklace

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:13:11 -0800

Attention anyone looking to fill my stocking this holiday: this necklace is one of the cutest I've seen! The Arcade Parade Necklace ($45) features one of my favorite arcade game characters, Pacman, being chased by ghosts Blinky, Pinky, and Inky. The necklace is made from brass, so its sheen will age naturally over time, and it comes with a canvas pouch for safekeeping.

Pacman was one of the first video games I remember playing, and my favorite college pizza joint had a Ms. Pacman arcade game, so this piece of geeky jewelry is already close to my heart.

Motorized Pacman Plushies: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

OK, so my boyfriend may let me get away with splurging on a Desktop Pacman Arcade someday, and will quietly put up with my wearing a Pacman hoodie on movie date night (which you guys think is geek chic, thank you very much), but I think my Pacman obsession may have to end with the Motorized Pacman Plushies ($25-30), which could be a little too weird for me to throw down for.

These eight-inch tall motorized Pacman plushies come straight out of the console, and make themselves at home in your apartment. Since they're battery operated, you just turn them on and let them munch their way around, which will probably scare the bejesus out of your cat. Freaky? Kinda. It's like a bad Pacman nightmare coming to life.

Make a Boo Boo Cool With Pacman Bandages

Ever sustain a gadget-related injury? Even if your scratch is not caused by gaming, you can at least be reminded of it with these Pacman Bandages.

There's just 15 strips in three different patterns, but you get to keep the tin, and come on, no one really grows out of cool, printed bandages.

What are you gonna use, flesh-colored ones? Ew.

Pacman Ghost Earrings: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

All right now, I am trying to maintain a sense of sophistication, a level of maturity. . . . OK didn't last! I kind of love these Pacman Inky Ghost Earrings ($10).

They're vintage geek, they're blue beads, they're so adorable . . . but can I do it? Can I risk my status as a practical adult and sport these? I don't know! Ack! I'm in crisis mode, clearly.

Can you?

Pac-Man Wine Charms: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Pac-Man updated to drinking age! These handmade Pac-Man Wine Charms use characters from the vintage arcade game to make markers for wine glass stems, which is mucho helpful during a party.

For $12 you get a set of six of these charms, and the ultimate compromise in growing up (or, well, growing older). Old vice, meet new vice.

What do you think of these? Classy enough for a wine party, or too childish for your taste?

Do You See What I See? It's a Designer Pac Man Dress!

I had learned from Fab that fashion designer Giles Deacon had incorporated some intense geeky Pac Man headgear during his London Fashion Week runway show, but I had no idea that such a dress like this existed - stop the presses!

After my run in with the Space Invaders dress at the FCUK store, it became apparent to me that video game graphics on sexy designer dresses wasn't that taboo, and that it was actually kinda sexy.

This sparkly couture Pac Man dress features the key elements from the popular arcade video game, including the ghosts and Pac Man himself. Now get some cherries on there, and this geek would have to add one to her ever-growing wish list!

Pac-Man Hoodie: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:44:02 -0700

The more grownup I become, I tend to stop wearing articles of clothing that I think are not so grown up, like message tees, but one thing I'll never grow out of is hoodies. A good hoodie is your friend on laundry day and when you need to lounge around the house in maximum comfort, or to throw on for an errand.

In that sense, this Pac-Man Hoodie ($48) is perfect; it's soft and cozy, and hello video-game motif. But back to feeling grownup . . . am I too old to wear Pac-Man?

I think I can make an exception for this. Can you?

Pacman Ghost Tee: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:00:41 -0700

Pacman fans rejoice! Japan LA has these perfect-in-pink Pacman T-shirts on sale for $24 for geeky gamer girls like myself.

I don't know if this falls along the same lines as the Polaroid Tee (which most of you loved), but it's got that retro geek-chic appeal that looks so adorable on a fitted tee.

What do you think? Too over-the-top geeky for your liking? Or so geek chic that it's worth paying the $24 for?

Pacman Coasters: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:00:01 -0800

Are you so geeky that your home is geeky too? Then maybe you'll like these Pacman coasters. This set of six coasters from Etsy seller Lostmitten has sold out before, and I kind of see why - they're pretty cute. I liked these circuitboard coasters, but aside from electronics and gadgets, I don't have much geekiness like this goin' on. What about you?

Flickr user hello_naomi has done it again with her baked-to-edible-geek-perfection video game inspired cupcakes!
