I love videogame fashion that doesn’t overdo the geekeyness, while I sport it. Not that I have anything wrong with geek-wear, in fact I have quite a few gaming shirts and other attire that I dress up in. But sometimes I don’t want to blind people with my dorkyness and I find as I get older — I want things a little more subtle.
This watch is a perfect example. As you can tell, this limited edition ticker has a class look to it, but if one were to inspect closer, they would know it was from the great retro classic, Pac-Man. Not only is the yellow looking pizza guy on the watch, but displays his arch-nemesis the ghosts, Inky, Pinky and Clyde — trapped inside the ‘nest.’
What is really cool is as every second goes by, so does Pac-Man around the watch — eating pellets, a ghosts and whatever is in his way of destruction.
Although, Looking like a classy videogamer doesn’t come cheap. You can order one for $130 on clubnamco, but if you really want one, you should hurry. According to the site, it should be a collector’s item because only 500 of these beauties were made.
This sweet hoodie, which was designed by Derek on enclothe, reminds me of a time when we had to blow into an NES cartridge because when we turned on the game — this is what it looked like on the TV.
Besides the color scheme and how the pattern begins to break up as it nears the top of the hoodie, I love how the zipper has a “1UP” mushroom for a zipper, which gives it an authentic feel. If you want one, hurry up because there is only a limited quantity and each sells for $65.
Chris Rowson designed the shirt above, which depicts what would happen if those”Space Invaders” were indeed real and if the US government or any other for that matter do, if they caught one of those sinister aliens. If you want to purchase one, head over to Threadless.com and pick one up for only $18.

Face it, Ghostbusters II was terrible. No matter how much we wanted to love it as kids, it just sucked. The ending was also a huge joke. Do you remember what I’m talking about? It’s when the Busters controlled the Statue of Liberty by spraying some slim and moved it with the NES Advantage Controller? It was so horrible, it’s kinda cool. Up top is a shirt that is the actual instructions of exactly how to do this, in case you have to do this sometime in your life.
The t-shirt is designed by splitreason, which comes in various sizes and is currently being sold for $18.95.

ArcadeArt over at etsy has created these brilliant video game magnets. The three separate packs include a modern day video game, but the magnets are styled like a pixelated 8-bit video game, rather than their ‘high-end’ graphics.

BioShock 2 is months away, but that did not stop darthleaon_customs to sculpt his very own Big Sister. As you can tell from the picture, it is extremely detailed, but you should know — it’s less than 4 inches tall. Which even make it that much more impressive.
In order to make something like this, and have it look the way it does — someone would have to bestowed inside them some unbelievable talent.
So far, it is safe more me to say it is easily the best custom Big Sister figure I’ve seen yet. Of course, I pretty sure it is the only one I have come across thus far. Although, good luck to anyone who thinks they can outdo darthleaon_customs’ work.
After the jump, check out more pictures.

“Who Pacs the Pac-men? ” Who knows and who cares, this shirt is awesome nonetheless. T-shirt designer/artist James Lillis made this Watchmen parody shirt. Obviously he brilliantly replaced the famous happy face with the blood stain on it from the ‘Comedian,’ and replaced it with…Pac-man. I wish I had bought this shirt before I went to see a screening of the movie — damn. Oh well, there is always the day when I buy it on Blu-Ray.
If you want to purchase the shirt for $29.94, click here.

Although these sales are old, they’re still cool nonetheless. eBay user hellokitty11111111111 (yes that’s the right name) was auctioning a few NES’ and a couple of Super Nintendos, but each one were hand painted. The art was inspired from some gaming classics like, Super Mario Bros. 3, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! and more.
My personal Favorite has to be the Castlevania, but a close second would be the Ghouls ‘n Ghosts. It just reminds me how awesome the pixel-art was in that game.
CastleVania
I also like how the artist decided to paint most of the retro machines mimicking actual gameplay from each title. Each one almost seems like a screenshot rather than a painting.
The Black Axe is a t-shirt design company that thinks up shirts for various bands. The shirt up top is for the group “New Found Glory,” and the concept is obviously heavily-influenced by ‘Punch-Out!!.’
The shirt features two boxers, who are unquestionably similar to ‘Little Mac‘ and ‘Bald Bull‘ from the classic boxing video game.
I wish I liked the band more, but because I’m not a fan — I kinda wish they sold the shirt without the name of the rock group.

For some reason, when I was young; I thought the ghosts of Pac-Man looked kind of like a t-shirt. Maybe because the graphics on a old arcade machine didn’t give me much ‘ghost’ detail — so, my brain thought they were shirts by the shape. I know it’s strange, but that is what they reminded me of. Because of my imagination as a child, I fell in love with these shirts instantly.
As you can tell, the shirts have the faces of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. I love how if I were to where these, the faces would be my chest and torso. The guys who designed these, even had some shirts that made the expression of the ghosts right before Pac-Man attacked them.
