Space Invaders Crop Circle
May 28th, 2008

Space Invaders Crop Circle
Here at the Therapy, we love all things retro arcade. That of course includes Space Invaders. Check out this mysterious appearance of a Space Invaders crop circle. There are those who believe that aliens built the pyramids and also gave us the atari 2600. I think this proves it.

What is more likely? A group of drunk ass and geeky college kids all jacked up on arcade games and Red Bull? Or aliens warning us to stop shooting at them in our games?

Space Invaders Cutting Board Invades Kitchens
April 28th, 2008

Space Invaders Cutting Board
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.

Space Invaders On Nintendo Wii: It’s Payback Time
April 13th, 2008

Space Invaders are back!
The boffins over at Taito Japan are revamping the Space Invaders game with a new twist on the classic. This time, you’re not on defense, instead you get to control the invaders yourself and serve up some Alien pay back.

Space Invaders Get Even puts you in command of up to 300 individual pixelated aliens using the Wii-mote and Nunchuk controllers. With the Nunchuck, you direct a UFO to drop hundreds of aliens on forest, city and military targets, destroying everything in sight. You’ll be able to command the invaders to swarm and group in a variety of attack formations.

Looks pretty awesome if you ask me. I hope the Space Invader aliens don’t team up with the Galaga aliens.

Space Invaders Coffee Table On Craigslist
March 12th, 2008

Space Invader Coffee Table
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.

Space Invaders Underwear

Space Invaders Underwear
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!

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.

LED Space Invaders Door Mat
December 19th, 2007

Space Invaders Door Mat

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.

Huge Tetris Game Played On Building
December 12th, 2007

This is how the Gods play Tetris. They somehow used the lights of the building and programmed it all up professionally in order to play the game via a cell phone.

It’s called the Mikontalo Lights Project and was created by the students of Tampere University of Technology in Finland to gain global visibility for the university and highlight its rich student culture. Mission accomplished guys.

I would say we need an entire city block devoted to this kind of gaming on a massive scale.

The video is shaky because the guy filming it has the camera attached to his head. There’s another video of them playing Space Invaders after the jump.

Space Invaders DIY Duct Tape Wallet
December 6th, 2007

Space Invaders DIY Duct Tape Wallet

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.
