The Arcade…At Home

Sure, you love the arcade. Hasn’t your name been on top of the Space Invaders’ leaderboard for as long as anyone can remember? And isn’t that your autographed picture above the door as a reminder to all who dare to enter? All true. But what if you could have that same arcade experience at home? With the Atari 2600 ($180) you can enjoy intergalactic domination without contracting a deadly virus. The personal video game console comes with two joystick controllers and a Combat game cartridge. Additional games like Space Invaders and Pac-Man are available for purchase separately. If you’re missing the crowds of adoring fans, just invite your friends over for a viewing party. Watching you blow up aliens never gets old.

8-Bit Pale Ale

Geek Out, Drink Up

Most women might think that if you’re old enough to drink, you should be too mature to drink video game-themed beer. To them we say, “P-shaw! Girls are stupider than boys.” Stand your ground and pop open a can of 8-Bit Pale Ale ($8.00), produced by Tallgrass Brewing. According to said brewers, this beer’s got a “unique, tropical, almost melon aroma,” thanks to its Australian-grown Galaxy Hops. Plus the label is awesome and has a thirsty Pac-man on the side, which is obviously super cool. If your girlfriend doesn’t agree, well, you just tell her…she’s stupider too.
