Here’s the perfect fashion accessory for Bioshock fans.

Technabob reader Matthew Borghatti (aka “M@”) created this intricately detailed bronze belt buckle which bears the inimitable Art Deco logo from the classic underwater shooter. M@ started out by having a wax mold carved on TechShop’s Tormach CNC.

He then produced a silicone mold from the wax and had the bronze casting made…

I can admit it–I’m attracted to the idea of finding lost things in the sand or dirt, but there are two problems with traditional metal detectors: a) you have to carry them around (lame), and b) they’re pretty obviously metal detectors and you might as well throw on some black socks with your sandals. Geek may be in, but for…

Straight from the what files come these geektastic corsets designed to evoke Star Wars and Star Trek character, and I can’t decide if they’d make great Halloween costumes, or if they look like something from an adult film parody of the classics.

One thing is indisputable: the workmanship that went into these costumes and corsets, by EveningArwen, is amazing. The corsets look good…

Listen kids, too much of anything is bad for you. Look at Mario. You think he’s still as healthy as when he was fighting ol’ D-Kong back in ‘81? You all think you’re doing him a favor, feeding him all those stars and flowers and leaves and other inedible but somehow magical power-ups. And don’t get me started about them…

When Donkey Kong first asked the pixelated question “HOW HIGH CAN YOU GET?” it wasn’t rhetorical. In fact, the highest you could possibly go was 100-meters as Jumpman (aka Mario) climbed his way to the top of candy-colored girders to rescue the damsel in distress from the grip of the game’s eponymous ape.

On the other hand, this t-shirt from Germany’s…

Lot 29 Urban Wear’s Batman hooded sweatshirt is covered with the likeness of not just every ripple of muscle on the BatSuit, but even has a masked face when you zip up the hood all the way.

It’s just a little freaky looking, but isn’t Batman kind of a freak anyhow? Available from SuperHeroStuff (about $75 USD).

Retro-gaming fans have got to love thse Blinky, Inky, Pinky, Clyde and blue ghost t-shirts from LowRez.De. Pac-Man not included.

New T-Shirt by DavidFromDallas coming soon from Threadless. I’ve got enough trouble with the basic kick and punch.

I’ve made it my goal in life to never have another job where I have to wear a suit and tie to work. But if I ever find myself in that situation again, I know exactly what I’m showing up to the office wearing around my neck.

These retro video gamer ties are perfect for making a statement when you…

Want to really stand out the next time you go out clubbin’? Then look no further than these totally over-the-top illuminated clothes from LumiGram.

For a casual night out, why not try on one of Lumigram’s Lumitop fiber optic tops? Each one is powered by a compact battery pack connected to a bright LED light source, and provides ample illumination…

Imagine all the chicks you’ll attract when you walk down the street donning this awesome NES controller varsity jacket.

Adorned with a larger than life NES controller on the back and an (almost)  actual-size embroidered controller on the chest, you’ll be showing off your 8-bit fanaticism whether you’re coming or going.

The jacket is officially licensed by Nintendo, and available…

Looking to boost their quest for cool “I’m a PC” marketing campaign, Microsoft has launched their own clothing line, which the Redmond giant calls “Softwear”. Yup. If Apple can blind you with their fancy glass screens, why can’t Microsoft sell you shirts? The nonsense in that analogy is my analogy to Microsoft’s nonsense.

Most of the designs are from the…

Wear your retro Apple spirit on your sleeve (or really on your chest) with one of these illuminated t-shirts, sporting the old school rainbow Apple logo.

The t-shirt lights up using an electroluminescent display that responds to music and other ambient sounds.

And while Apple hasn’t used the classic rainbow logo since 1998, I have a funny feeling that neither…

Cheesy emoticons — they’re not just for your IM client anymore. Thanks to ClixWear, you can plaster semi-colon smileys and less-than-threes on your chest (and regions beyond).

Emoticons are designed to help add context and tone to text-based conversations (because it’s important to distinguish between a joke and a dig), but all the winking on these shirts begs the question of…

Why choose the great outdoors over a carefully-rendered urban landscape? So long as you stay away from the people in that pesky uncanny valley, the variable world of video games may just be prettier (and easier to control) than the real world.

This cotton/poly hoodie is a steal at $22.99 from jamjamtees’ Etsy storefront, and the graphic is screen-printed on…
