If you love your tabard in WoW and want to show a little guild pride, now you can pick up a fully customizable t-shirt.  It displays your guild name, your specific tabard design, your character name, realm name, race and class.  Making your t-shirt completely one of a kind.

Not only that, but there are five styles of t-shirts for men and three for women.  You also can choose between six different colors for the t-shirt itself.  All of that for $24.99, unless you choose the men’s long sleeve shirt ($29.99) or the hoodie which will cost you $49.99.

Halloween is just around the corner, so if you don’t already have a costume in mind, you’d better get cracking. If you have kids, then you’ve got your work cut out for you.  Sure, you could go to the store and pick up any run-of-the mill costume, but who wants to be dressed just like everyone else? No, what you need to do is make a costume that will really set your kid apart from the rest. They need a homemade Mega Man costume.

This isn’t the sort of costume that you throw together at the last minute either, so you’re going to need to get started pretty soon. On the bright side, your kid will have the coolest costume ever. There are full instructions on how to make the boots, glove, suite, helmet and of course, the Mega Buster. And I thought my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume from back in the day was cool.

There are some items that you just can’t own when you have a non-gaming spouse. This pillowcase is one of those things, it also might be bad to reveal to any new mates that aren’t quite used to such geeky fashion. If you have managed to find a gaming significant other though, you can pick up a set of these for the two of you. That or just pick up one if you’re on your loansome and don’t mind the possible adverse effects it might have when you try to bring someone home. They are made of 100% fleece, and are made to order so it’ll take about a week before it can be shipped. The single is $35 and to get a set of two pillowcases it will cost you $60.

To be perfectly honest, I still haven’t jumped on the digital picture frame bandwagon. You’d think that as a geek I’d have gotten myself one long ago, however, I really don’t have any issues with hanging up real pictures. In fact, I’d probably end up getting one of these analog digital photo frames before getting the real thing.

Sure, it’s a bit cheesy, but anyone that’s used Photoshop on a Mac will get a good chuckle out of this piece. You’ll have to be quick, as there will only be around 50 of these frames made available for around $50.

Have you ever been sleeping at night, having a wonderful dream, only to have it invaded by some sort of advertisement or obvious product placement? I mean, there’s absolutely nothing worse than a dream where you’re flying around the world as Superman, when suddenly you’re confronted by a man that’s trying to sell you cheap Viagra. If this sounds like you, then it might be time to invest in a Dream Captcha.

Yes, it’s an awful play on words, but you have to admit that it’s still pretty amusing. It almost makes you wonder how long it would take someone to get if they saw it hanging in your window. Unfortunately you’ll have to make one of these yourself if you really want it, as it not currently for sale.

When you’ve spent the last 6 hours in a raid with no end in sight, you need to eat. Unfortunately, no one wants to be that guy that brings the whole thing to a screeching halt for a Taco Bell run. Sure, you could cut down your time by just making a sandwich or nuking a can of Spaghetti-o’s, but that still takes time. So in the end, you’re forced to resort to a bag of Cheetos. It’s not the most filling or nutritional, (not to mention that orange film it leaves on everything you touch) but it’s better than nothing, right? Wrong. You need to get yourself some Gamer Grub.

That’s right, this can provides all of the energy and nutrition that you need in a gaming snack, but in a convenient one-handed container. Just set a stack of these on top of your mini fridge stocked with Red Bull and you’re good to go.

This stuff has apparently been scientifically formulated to provide the perfect balance of vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to perform “such as visual input, cognitive processing, signal transmission and muscle reflexes” during marathon gaming. Honestly, any time they put some form of munchies in a one-handed container (which has been done plenty) people are going to eat it, especially with names like Action Pizza, Racing Wasabi, Sports PB&J and Strategy Chocolate. We’ll let you know if it really does anything to improve our gaming skills when it hits store shelves next year.

Some people might say that geeks and gamers have no taste, but I like to think otherwise. My house isn’t furnished with folding chairs and milk crates, and I’m always on the lookout for classier furniture. Take these seats, nothing says classy like sitting on an over-sized stuffed Pac-Man.

I’m sorry, did I say Pac-Man? I meant Poufman, which doesn’t even bear the slightest resemblance to the classic arcade character. Trademark infringement or no, I have the perfect place for a set of these. Unfortunately these Italian-made pieces are probably out of my price range, since it isn’t even listed on the manufacturer’s page.

Not long ago I invested in a new desk for myself. I’d had the old one for several years, and after moving a few times it was beginning to look a little ragged. One thing I told myself was that I would start using coasters on the new desk, since the old one had acquired a few rings from cups and cans over the years. No, I still haven’t actually bought any, but now that I’ve found these Pixel Drink Coasters, I think I finally will.

These coasters are cool just as they are, however, each individual pixel is perforated so you can shape them to your liking.They look as though they might be a little on the thin side to last over time, but they come in stacks of fifty 10×10 pixel squares. I’m not very good with Chinese, but I believe that a stack will set you back around $38, but the real kicker will be trying to get them to ship to the US.

In my office you’ll find such things as a life-size cut-out of R2-D2 and C-3PO, along with an autographed picture of myself with Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), however, I’ve been wanting something a little more three-dimensional. I think that this bronze Darth Vader statue would do nicely

This 4-foot bronze tribute to the Dark Lord of the Sith was crafted by Lawrence Noble from Vader’s appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. His motivation was to make a statue that one might see on the planet Coruscant. There are a few issues that you’re going to run into if you get your heart set on this piece. First, it weighs 150lbs, so it’s not going to be easy to move. Second, quantities are limited to 30 pieces, so it’s going to be tough to get ahold of. Then there’s that minor issue of the $18,000 price tag.
