So this is what the Space Invaders really look like. I knew it. We always saw them as flat 8-bit graphics. Turns out they’re just like us, flying around in ships and blowing stuff up.

No wonder we never won against them. We were shooting at their damn shadows. I have a new found respect for them now. And now that we know their true form they should be easy to kill. You can get this shirt for only $18.

I missed this one in the 80’s. It’s required viewing for any dork, geek, or nerd. The special effects are top notch and the whole thing is truly epic. It will haunt you.

Get these gamer baby clothes for your baby and get them ready for a life full of Hot Pockets and Cheese doodles while they sit their fat asses in front of a screen and build up mana, hit points and all that shit. You start them off with some easy shit like Space Invaders, then when they turn 4 you give them an NES, by the time they hit 8 they’ll be ready for XBox. Next thing you know you have a tub of shit in your living room playing WoW, talking about “Hey mom, I need a hot pocket, I’m on a quest to find the sword of exploding anus.”

Ahh the memories. They grow so fast.

Space Invaders chewing gum joins the rest of the Space Invaders merchandise. This time you chew it. Not sure what flavor Space Invaders are, but you chew bubble gum while kicking video game ass.

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?

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.

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.

Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the classic arcade game Space Invaders with these geek pillows. It will give you something to bite, while your partner is behind you wearing this.

Awesome.

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!
