We like nerdy stuff here at GS. We spend an insane, unhealthy amount of time online each and everyday looking for gadget related news, cool stuff, and other general things that make us smile. We’ve also been known to blow through an afternoon in front of the ‘ol Xbox or gaming PC. That said, we were pretty stoked to find these nifty handmade retro gaming themed clocks — the Super Mario with swinging Goomba (above) and Zelda/Link shield (inside) being our favorites. Mario will set you back $50 will the shield we’ve all seen at one point or another is a tad lower at $40. Cool, eh?

Author Jonny Walls sets out to show the cultural impact of The Legend of Zelda video game series with his latest book: The Legend of Zelda and Theology. I highly doubt there is anyone out there that hasn’t heard of Zelda of her savior Link, as I also doubt anyone hasn’t come across Christianity in some form or another. I am not going to make this a post about my thoughts or opinions on the latter, but I will use this short post to post about a concept that I kind of like.
If you were born in the 80′s or even in the last 10 years and have played any of the recent releases in the Franchise, you know the level of effect the series has. You not only are playing a game, or an RPG, but you are thrown into an environment and story that you get excited about. Christianity on the other hand, isn’t as adored for as Link and his quest for the sexy Zelda. Video games and Christianity have been on two different sides of the tracks since day 1. Minus the epic title Exodus that followed the biblical figure Moses and his quest to lead the Israelites to the ‘promise land.’
Hop on in for the rest of my thoughts. This isn’t a bash on Christianity, so please don’t take it as such. This is more about how I personally feel about Walls’ thoughts on what the game means.
We’ve all heard the saying “Don’t wear your feelings on your sleeve”. Well, something like that anyway. But what about geeky passions on your feet? One aspiring design student is creating some of the coolest geeky footwear to date…

Tired of girls and all that drama they bring along? Pick yourself up a video game themed belt buckle, add an LED behind the buckle to give it a cool, nerdy glowing effect, and watch the girls flee from your presence.
In all seriousness, this above custom buckle is pretty sweet. Better have your MIB shades w/ built in flashy thing because from the image above it appears this particular LED will scorch your retinas through and through.
Those looking to make their own can find all the details via “ShockSlayer”, a BenHeckForum frequenter.
