Everyone has a place in their home where they like to watch TV, go on the computer, watch movies and play video games. The greatest way to arrange your house is so you can have all those activities in one room, “The Gamer Room.” Whether it’s your living room, bedroom, den or playroom, the gamer room is the sanctuary of your house. Your personal kingdom! Here are some cool things that would make anyone jealous (me especially) of your beloved gaming haven!

At conventions, there’s only one way to rise above the nerd crowds and be titled “nerdiest”. And that’s to have the wittiest tee. At Comicon everyone was about the Fantastic Four and “Expendable” shirts. PAX showed folks in their free-tee swag and “I Roll Twenties” shirts. And some men rose to the challenge and wore shirts that left me gasping, “Where…. where on earth did you find that?”. 9/10 of those people answered Tee Fury.

Boy was I disappointed when I went on the site, only to find that I wouldn’t be able to get the shirts I saw on the floor. Nope, those were gone. In fact, they only have one shirt up a day. But they’re AMAZING.

Today’s is a beautiful combination of my two favorite Dexters: The one with a lab and the one with a killing problem. And it’s only $9. Seriously.

I’ll be checking this site daily and encourage you to do the same. It’s the only way to really stand out on those convention floors.

As I’m sure you’ve heard, it rains a lot in Seattle. Not downpours like you East-coasters have, but still, it’s annoying. And if you’re “cool” and “local” you’re not supposed to carry an umbrella. Psh. I’d rather be dry and comfortable, thank you.

But now there’s a way to carry an umbrella and STILL be badass. And it’s the Excali-brella.

When folded and carried on your back, it looks like any old sword. And then–

BAM! It protects you from the harsh water falling from the sky. TAKE THAT, RAIN!

(Calms down, takes a deep breath.)

Seriously, how quickly can I get one of these to my home? Because the next time it rains, I don’t want to be caught unprepared.

Have you ever wished you could smell like your favorite characters of Star Trek?

Well, you’re in luck. Genki Wear has created three Star Trek fragrances:

Tiberius with top notes of citron, black pepper, and cedar, layered over warm vanilla, white musk and sandalwood base notes.

Red Shirt with notes of green mandarin, bergamot and a hint of lavender with base notes of leather and grey musk.

and Pon Farr, a perfume for women with notes of citrus, blackcurrant, lotus blossom, and water lily and base notes of sandalwood, peach, and mulberry.

I guess any perfume would beat being smelly, but I’m still partial to men who wear Sex Panther. You know, I hear 60% of the time, it works every time.

From the blog of Car Domain, I present to you the amazing Wolf Cooper!

I wonder if I can install a howling noise for when I honk!

Mountain Dew has always had a special place in every gamer’s arteries heart. Now the tasty goodness will add to the collection of Halo, World of Warcraft and Star Wars cans that we just can’t seem to bring ourselves to throw away (yuck)…

Dun-dun-dun-na-NAAAAAH! Metal Gear Solid Game Fuel!

Who/what would YOU like to see on a Mountain Dew can next?
I want OMG CAT! Lol

This amazing shirt is a limited edition (and by limited I mean that you can only buy it today and then it’s supposedly gone forever) on TeeFury.

Han Solo Pop T-shirt (TeeFury.com) $9 by David Schwen. Buy it here!

Screw Project Natal, Playstation ‘Move’ and the stupid Wii-mote tracking systems, I WANT ONE OF THESE IN MY LIVING ROOM!

This over-sized beehive ball is called the ‘VirtuSphere.’ This kind of technology enables players to step out of reality and into a virtual 3-D gaming world. The VirtuSphere tracks you’re body’s movement using a wireless head-tracking camera visor worn over your eyes, as well as a light gun with peripherial tracking. The sphere enables users to actually walk as their character in the game and detects the players’ path of direction while playing.

Pretty neato! Maybe I can use this to start my training as a SECRET ASSASSIN!

Can it be nap time now!?

Buy it here at Dawanda for 99 of these “€” things!

If anything screams ‘AWESOME!’ and ‘LET ME PLAY,’ it’s a kid with tourettes at Chuckie Cheese. But aside from that, it’s gotta be this adult size Nintendo Gameboy pillow! I would sleep with it every night if given the chance. Someone give me 99 of these “€” things plz!

[I'm totally kidding. I know those are euros.... now.]

I’m loving this video of a real life Portal gun. My one complaint: I don’t have one for myself.

Seriously, where can I get one?

What would you use a portal gun for if you had one? Would you use it to be lazy and go through walls instead of doors? Or make the front of a drive-through window go directly to your kitchen?
