Space Invaders Packing Tape!

Words can’t contain the school boy excitement that’s seeping out of me. (Hmmm, perhaps “seeping” is the wrong word…) Hell, once I get some of this I’ll put tape over everything — yes, even the dog.

3-packs available from OfficeWorks for $4.79AUD ($4.50 USD).

Space Invaders constructed with Star Wars mini-figs.

Space Invaders scenes constructed out of miniature Star Wars figures. Does it get any geekier? I’d love to see you find something that is. From the brain of Chris McVeigh, the Star Wars Space Invaders plaque would make a fine addition to any wall. Too bad it’s not my own. But hey, it’s motivation for myself to get out there and get crafty. Be sure to check out Chris’s other nerdy toom foolery on his Flickr page.

Space Invader Couch touches down.

Nothing says geek like a gigantic Space Invaders couch sitting front and center in your living room. Not only that, but this geeky piece of gaming culture actually looks really damn slick as well. Form and function all in one package — nice! Too bad it’s just a concept. Hopefully the designer gets this project in motion, because I want like ten of these things…

Start your morning off right — Space Invader Soap

Some people prefer wheaties. Others kick off the morning with bacon and eggs. Me? I’m a simpler being, instead opting for Space Invader Soap.

No, I don’t eat soap if that’s what you’re getting at. But I don’t eat first thing in the morning, hence the whole “starting off” thing. The food comes after I don’t smell like a foot.

Nothin’ like sudsin’ up with some intergalactic space bots forever held hostage in a mixture of oils and minerals.

There is a god : Space Invader Salt and Pepper Shakers!

Are you in love with retro games? I mean really, really in love? How often can you say you get to see or touch “your love” in every aspect of your life? For many people, their fascination is relegated to “hobby” status as life and the 9-to-5 grind consume a fair chunk of our daily rituals. But for retro gamers, a bone has been thrown in the form of salt and pepper shakers.

Not just any salt and pepper shakers but Space Invader shakers. How sweet would it be to stroll into someone’s house, plunk yourself down at their table, and then get welcomed by two of these beauts staring back at you? If it were close friends that I was on joking terms with, I’d totally take them if I could, enjoying both the joke of “where’d they go” and secretly enjoying them back in the safe confines of my own humble living quarters. How much do you love Space Invaders? Enough to let them eat with you day in and day out?

Snail mail command center: The Space Invaders Mailbox

It’s Monday…the cold hard reality is setting in. Roughly 4 days/96 hours/5,760 minutes/345,600 seconds until the weekend redemption strikes us yet again. It’s going to be a long journey, so why not start off this journey with a bit of careless, nerdy fun…?

The mailbox is one of the most common and frequently objects we interact with on a daily basis. I mean, it’s a box on a stick, there isn’t really much you can do with it. Sure some cute picture or novel design can make it your own. But such things don’t make you a geek per say. That is unless you the Space Invaders mailbox. Said box oozes geekiness to your mail man/woman and lets them know you’re a different kind of human. I couldn’t even try this if I wanted to as my “mailbox” is a slit in the door. Then again, I could try out the VHS Player Mailbox/slit/door box thing….

Atari noise maker helps you relive the classic days of 8-bit goodness.

For some, the games of today while visually dazzling and at times deeply involved just don’t have the same pick-up-and-playability of the classics. Back in the 8-bit day, sitting down and starring at a dude on the screen comprised of a dozen blocks was high tech back then. Similarly, the sounds and “music” that accompanied these wonders of science were something else themselves. If those beeps, bops, bams, and slams were sweet sweet music to your ears, the Atari Noise Maker may be just the device to make your life complete once again. Carry it with you and annoy your friends. Show off at family events. The possibilities are endless. All you need is $45 and long enough to stop by Etsy in which that $45 magically disappears never to be seen again. However, in return you get some sweet old gaming music. Ya dig it?
