As if you didn’t have enough Space Invaders crap in your home, they have now invaded your kitchen and want to help you chop your Earthly food for consumption. It does have an awesome retro look.
Slam your knife down on this guy again and again in revenge for quarters lost in the 80’s.
Nobody was cooler then B.A. Baracus back in the day. Okay, I’m sure lots of people were, but they weren’t members of the A-Team.
Get yours for $19.95.
Some guy made an awesome Space Invaders coffee table and is now selling it on Craigslist for $450.
Bad stuff can go down when you combine Space Invaders and coffee. Like in the 80’s when I stayed awake for 2 days and beat the high score. When the sun came out on the second day, some guy thought he was helping by leaning against the machine. I was so hopped up on caffeine, I accidentally slammed a quarter through his skull as I let out a girlly scream and then quietly resumed my game. The police thought it best that I stop soon after that.
Worlds collide. Your crotch against 8-bit invaders. Try not to soil yourself as you shoot at the alien armada.
These boxer shorts are not going to win you a real live woman, but you won’t need one. Your crotch rocket will be scoring hits on these pixellated aliens with every boner. They are snug-fitting and 95% cotton. They’ll cost you £18 a pair.
Jesus, crotch fun is expensive. The dude pictured is obviously packing a huge missile too. Game over man!
You know we love retro arcade games here at the Therapy. To all my groupies: If I see you get out of the pool and wrap a Space Invaders towel around you, you will have a geek on your hands trying to seduce you.
They come in the 3 varities shown. You can get them in mid-late June 2008 at $19.90 per towel.
Yes. More retro gaming towels please.

These cupcake photos have been zinging across the web and making geeks like me hungry. These are true retro arcade works of art. They make me want to play vintage games while munching away. They were created by hello naomi and arranged to look just like the game screen.
Clearly I need me a new Betty Crocker in the kitchen. I would ask my wife to make these, but I don’t fancy a punch to my face.
When plain sneakers don’t quite profess your love of retro arcade goodness, these Pac-Man sneakers will kick it up a notch. Great for chasing blue ghosts.
These hand-painted Pac-Man shoes turned up recently in a Flickr photostream from someone using the name thekalaka. No one seems to know for sure if they’re for sale or not, but thekalaka.com seems to be a Brasilian boutique that specializes in urban wear. If anyone has any info, let us know.
Even if you can’t buy them, you can admire them. Something about thee feeds the inner geek and makes us happy.
The year was 1987; Reagan was in office, Black Monday destroys the stock market, the Unabomber strikes in Salt Lake City, the Twins shock the baseball world by winning the World Series, and U2 releases The Joshua Tree.
1987 was a banner year for U2 as The Joshua Tree reached Number 1 around the world and won a Grammy for “Album of the Year”, while U2 won the Brit Award for Best International Act and Time Magazine put the band on its cover, proclaiming them “Rock’s Hottest Ticket”.
Now you can hopefully recapture some of the magic of that historic album. The deluxe 2007 remastering of The Joshua Tree is available in four different formats including a bonus audio CD of b-sides and rarities, a live concert DVD shot in Paris in 1987 and booklets featuring liner notes from the band and unseen photography from Anton Corbijn.
If I had a quarter for every quarter I put into the Space Invaders arcade game, I would be a rich man today. At the very least, able to afford the actual machine.
Here’s a great door mat sure to lure fellow geeks to your house and hopefully not scare away the opposite sex when they see what a geek you are.
When stepped on, the invaders start animating across the top of the door mat. It runs off of 4 AAA Batteries and will cost you $49.99.
It’s not all just celebrities and entertainment around here. It’s all about Pop Culture. It doesn’t get any more Pop culture then retro arcade games. They aren’t just making a come back, they never left.
KMC Designs at Etsy has taken the DIY duct tape wallet and made a cool Space Invaders model.
This wallet is mostly black & silver. It would be great for men & women, boys & girls. In fact, anyone who needs to carry money/cards round with them! It is silver on the inside with black trim. The wallet measures just over 10cm x 10cm (thats 4 x 4 inches) when closed and 21cm x 10cm (8 ½ x 4 inches) when open. It has 3 card slots and 2 extra hidden slots for cards etc. My wallets also have a cash pocket which is held shut with a small piece of Velcro. The wallet has a long slot which runs the length of the wallet for notes/receipts etc.
The price was $16, but then it got all popular and sold. But never fear, they say they are making more.
You really can do anything with Duct tape. Do yourself a favor and order one. I am hoping that one day in the near future many of us will be decked out in Classic gaming logos like a Race car driver. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll just have to set the trend.
