Oct 22 2008 Lookin' Good!: Hand Made Gamer Jewelry
Alright, some more gaming jewelry, woo! All handmade by Etsy seller The Clay Collection, all this gaming-related jewelry promises to satisfy even the most demanding gamer's tastes. They've got everything from XBox controller earrings to NES cartridge cufflinks to everything else you could imagine. I just put the Zelda cuffLinks (!) up because they're my favorite. And as my 5th grade math teacher told us in class one day, "there's nothing wrong with a little Zelda on your shirt. Or my mustache -- HIYO!" He's not allowed to teach anymore.
Hit the jump for a couple more of my favorites, including a non-gaming related Tom Servo and Crow.
Sep 8 2008 Accessorize!: Handmade Nintendo Jewelry
Well snap crackle folks, two Zelda related posts in one day! Pop. Anyway, some guy made a bunch of Nintendo/Zelda jewelry for himself and his lady friend. Check it out after the jump, there's Triforces, a couple Zelda shields, a Metroid pendant, and some controllers. Did I mention I love accessorizing? It's true, I'm a jewelry nut. I even pierced my own ears -- with a bow and arrow! I am the hardcorest. Ask Robin Hood if you don't believe me, I wish I looked good in tights.
Hit the jump for more shiny jewelry than you could shake a silver spoon at.

Jul 3 2008 Medical Manikin Is Pretty Freaking Disturbing
This is an old dude with really saggy tits and yellow wires hanging out of his arm. He comes with interchangeable two penis and vagina attachments and is used to train doctors how to play dress up with a plastic dummy. See, there's a wig and everything. Accessories include two bottles of everclear, a sports drink, and some syringes. If you want one of your own to get freaky with they're available for around $1,000. Also, if you want to play doctor I will play with you.

Mar 25 2008 Mega Man 2 Scarf Sadly Doesn't Come With That Sultry Model Or The Awesome Hat
This is a Mega Man 2 themed scarf that has all the robot bosses on it. As you can see there's, um, Fan Man. And Frog Dude. Was that sacrilegious? Fine, Air Man and Bubble man. It's for sale if you want it, but it costs $150. It is, however, one of a kind. It is not, however, not bright yellow. Damn I'm in love with that girl in the picture. It's like she's looking into my soul and likes what she sees. Which is probably the potato salad and Fruit Rollup I had for breakfast.
One more of the detail after the jump.

Jan 14 2008 Cufflinks Let Others Know Your Availability
Much to my chagrin I bought a shirt over the weekend that requires cufflinks. I was drunk and thought I was in the electronics department, so I was throwing money around like I was going to get hit by a bus that afternoon and die (which I almost did). Well at any rate I'm stuck with it. But thankfully I'm not stuck with a set of $155 Tateossian Sexuality Cufflinks.
The Tateossian Sexuality Cufflinks come with phrases such as 'Desperate', 'Adulterous', 'Married', ‘Divorced’, ‘Available’, ‘Curious’ and ‘Swinger’ and are sure to serve not only as particularly stylish cufflinks but as potential invaluable ice-breakers at parties.
Yeah, totally stylish and a great ice-breaker. Whatever ice could possibly be broken with these cufflinks is best left intact. Because breaking it will send you plunging into the murky depths of Lake Masterbatonia, not to the Kingdom of Poonville like you expected.
Thanks to Melissa, whose cufflinks are set to 'Stun'-ning, for the tip.
Nov 1 2007 Calculator Prevents Indecent Exposure
The Chrome Calculator Belt Buckle ($10) is almost exactly what it sounds like. The only thing they failed to mention is that it also serves as an incredibly effective chastity device. You can put it on either way (numbers up or down), so that you can use it, or someone else can do the number punching for you. It's pretty f'ing dorky, but I got one anyways. I like to keep a real close eye on my secretary when she's calculating expense reports.

Aug 2 2007 Cardboard Boombox iPod Speakers
SUCK UK is selling a folded cardboard boombox that holds your iPod and even features functioning speakers. It'll be out in September, though I'm not sure why they decided to go with cardboard and not a more practical material. The beats I drop would probably catch this thing on fire. Oh, yes, ladies, my taste in music is hot.

Jul 10 2007 Phonofone Earphone Amplification Device
The Phonofone is an audio amplification device which will play back music from earphones. You simply place earphones on it and it uses the properties of horn acoustics to play it back up to 55 decibles.
Through passive amplification alone, These unique pieces instantly transform any personal music player + earbuds into a sculptural audio console. Without the use of external power or batteries, the Phonofone inventively exploits the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles* (or roughly the maximum volume of laptop speakers) Upon connecting active earphones to the Phonofone their trebly buzzing is instantly and profoundly transformed into a warm, rich and resonant sound.
It's a neat idea, but why not just buy some speakers? They might not look as cool, but then you wouldn't have to carry around a ceramic phonograph all day. Plus this thing costs $830 so, you know, you'll probably have to sell your first born child to afford them.
Jul 5 2007 Fuzzy Game Boys
Why hang up fuzzy dice on your rear-view mirror when you can hang up fuzzy Game Boys? Or fuzzy kittens. Or real kittens? C'mon, man, be creative!
Jul 5 2007 Tiny Hardwood Speakers
These are tiny little wooden speakers which are made in Korea and cost about $45. Each speaker gives about five hours of playback, although at 1.5 watts per channel they aren't exactly the most powerful speakers on the market. They are, however, the most wood-like. Unless you count the ones I built. Although those are aren't really speakers, they're more like blocks of wood.
Jul 3 2007 Samsonite Black Label Hero Suitcase
Samsonite has introduced the creepiest suitcase ever created. The Hero Suitcase from their Alexander McQueen Collection is described as:
The human form is treated just like an animal skin, with the ribcage and sternum at the front of the case, and backbone at the back. The inside is formed by the negative of the outside shape in a soft molded form providing contrast with the outer protective hard shell.
Although why not save the police some time, and instead of buying this suitcase just wear a sign around your neck that says "I'm psychotic."
Jul 2 2007 Kickbar diamonds for your shoes
Are you a ridiculous human being? Then you'll enjoy Kickbars, which are jewel-encrusted shoelace clips made with emeralds, sapphires, rubies, or diamonds set in white gold. The Kickbar features a 2 carat rectangular bar fitted with 54 diamonds and costs $7,500. Although I can't figure out who the market for this is. Anybody dumb enough to buy a $7,500 shoelace clip couldn't possibly have $7,500 saved up. Heck, I'd be surprised if they had $7.50 saved up. The only thing they'd have in their savings account is a half-eaten hamburger.
Jul 2 2007 Bar Code Chandelier
The Bar Code Chandelier is an oversize chandelier based on the ubiquitous bar code graphic. It's laser cut with black and transparent acrylic and looks absolutely amazing. Although I prefer my chandeliers to be way more fancy and gaudy. How else are people going to know how rich I am? My top hat and monocle just aren't enough to cut it sometimes.
Jun 27 2007 Mobile Protector
If you find yourself in the market for a super ugly cell phone holster, check out the StrapYa Mobile Protector. It costs $25 and looks like it was built out of junk some guy found in his garage. I mean cell phone holsters are nerdy enough, but this is pushing the limits of human comprehension. You'd look cooler if you just duct taped your cell phone to your waist.
Jun 27 2007 Human CD Holder
The Human CD Holder features human figurines positioned to look like they're holding up your CDs. The guy seems pretty weak though, since the holder is pretty small and can only fit a few CDs. Unlike me. I'm strong. I can hold, like, ten at a time.
Jun 21 2007 Cell Phone Handcuff Strap
Strap-Ya is selling this cell phone strap that looks like a set of tiny metallic handcuffs. The handcuffs actually lock with the included keys, so you can use them to attach your phone to your belt strap. Or do whatever else it is you'd want to do with tiny functional handcuffs. I guess you could, I dunno, arrest some fingers or something.
Jun 21 2007 Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker Baby Stroller
This is a baby stroller that's been modded into a Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker. There's not much info available about the stroller except that it was photographed by multiple attendees of the Star Wars Celebration IV convention held in Los Angeles. And I think it's safe to say this qualifies as one of the greatest baby strollers ever. Second only to the one I built out of rusty nails. Stylish and safe!
Jun 19 2007 Wear Your Seat
The Wear Your Seat is basically a semi-rigid padded cushion that you wear on your back so you can sit down comfortably no matter where you are. It actually looks pretty comfortable, but they can't actually expect to sell any of these can they? I mean, look at it. The only people that would actually wear this in public are neon TMNT fans and people who hate themselves.
