Limited edition Space Invaders scarf is both geek and chic photo

I see a lot of gamer apparel and such in my travels over the wide world of internets, but most of the wares have that detail that makes them a bit too dorky or tend to overstate the obvious, such as "I Saved the Princess!" I know, guy. So did I. In fact, we all did.

Anyway, overly cliched garments aside, I actually wanted this scarf when I saw it, despite the fact I live in a tropical climate. I can wear it with my shorts! Ok....no. Maybe when it dips down to 60 here I can rock it and attempt to look hip. Not only is the print pleasing, but the scarf has QR code on it that can be decoded by any mobile phone with a QR scanner. If that means nothing to you, don't worry. You'll still look cool wearing it even if you're a tech moron.

The scarf is limited to 500 pieces and is the first in a series. I wish I was one of those cool chicks that knit at the speed of sound and go to Stitch-N-Bitch  parties, because I'd make myself a wicked Pyramid Head scarf.

Yay! Another just-in-time-for-Christmas limited quantity item. /sarcasm

But, the price? US$65 + S&H? No thanks. I'd never wear it and my wife would never wear it to work.

"Stitch-N-Bitch parties"

HAHAHA Now I know how to refer to those DIY bitches.

Oh and Miami has been seeing much cooler nights Miss Bennett, you could be strutting in style with this while the weathers nice. Not often we actually get "winter" around here.

@MrJunko - I know! I guess I could wear it, but I always think of people who bundle up for 60 degree weather as douchebags ;)

My best friend would wear it just because it's something different but I already bought her present and I really don't think it would arrive before xmas.

They only ship to Europe, so . . . any European friends want to help a poor, scarfless yank out? I do paypal.

Weird. I have been thinking recently about learning to knit and making video game patterns. It seems perfect! I want to make an Excitebike sweater!

For $65 USD + tax + shipping from the UK, it better come with a slap and tickle from the incontinent continental chick in the picture.

Although, sweet.

Now we just need Wal-Mart to contract it out to the child slave labour camps in China...

...I mean, international trade routes.

that is all.

Not bad. I would probably buy one of these if I had the money.

I like it. It's tasteful, but oh-so-geeky.
