Geeky Gifts: Atari Drinking Glasses

April 20th, 2010

A while ago I broke the 3rd and last glass in a set I really liked. Now I need new, cool, drinking glasses, and these look just perfect!

These are pint-sized Atari Arcade Glasses. Relive the best days of your life, the days when pure joy was just a high score away and you could save the world for a mere twenty-five cents.

This set of four pint glasses features artwork from four classic Atari games: Asteroids, Centipede, Tempest, and Missile Command. Drink your orange juice at breakfast with Asteroids, enjoy a cold refreshing soda at lunch with Centipede, and then throw back a couple brews with your Player 2 in the evening with Tempest and Missile Command. It may not be the old days, but life is still pretty damn good.

Geeky Gifts: Heat Changing Arcade Mugs

February 4th, 2010

I want one, too! The one with the Space Invaders on it!

The Heat Changing Arcade Mugs know if they contain hot coffee and are able to display it graphically… which obviously kicks your mug’s butt as it just sits there doing nothing.
hot mug!

Normally the Pac Boy mug displays an empty maze and the Space Intruders mug displays a blank starry sky. But add some kind of hot beverage and instantly the Pac Boy maze is filled with 8-bit style ghosts and energizers while the Space Intruders shows a retro invaders style battle in action.
