<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7704" title="nes_controller_jacket" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/nes_controller_jacket.jpg" alt="nes controller varsity jacket 8-bit nintendo collectible clothing" width="520" height="395" /></p>
<p>Adorned with a larger than life NES controller on the back and an (almost)  actual-size embroidered controller on the chest, you&#8217;ll be showing off your 8-bit fanaticism whether you&#8217;re coming or going.</p>

<p>The jacket is officially licensed by Nintendo, and available in a limited edition of just 1,000. So if you want one, you&#8217;d better move faster than Mario in the video clip below:</p>

<p>This very special collectible is available now in a variety of sizes over at <a href="http://www.80stees.com/products/Nintendo-Varsity-Jacket.asp">80sTees.com</a> for $200 (USD), which happens to be just about you would have paid for an NES when it first came out back in 1985.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arcade fans, here&#8217;s a great way to keep all your <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/12/19/pac-man-maze-hoodie-is-amazingly-ugly/">Pac-Man hoodies</a> and <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/01/16/space-invaders-jacket-wrapped-up-in-aliens/">Space Invaders jackets</a> organized, instead of throwing them on the floor like you usually do.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7326 aligncenter" title="joystick_coat_hanger" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/joystick_coat_hanger.jpg" alt="joystick_coat_hanger" width="520" height="800" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.surface-tension.net/">Surface Tension&#8217;s</a> new <a href="http://www.arcade-lounge.co.uk/?p=314">hangUP arcade coat hooks</a> use real joystick balls and buttons to hang up all of your coats, umbrellas, man purses and any other hangy stuff you have hanging around.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7327 aligncenter" title="joystick_coat_hanger_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/joystick_coat_hanger_2.jpg" alt="joystick_coat_hanger_2" width="520" height="479" /></p>
<p>Coming sometime early this year, they&#8217;ll be available in 3UP and 4UP versions. You can pick your own joystick ball colors too. The standard models will ship in black walnut wood, but they&#8217;re happy to take custom orders for other materials too.</p>
<p>Me, I want one that looks like the front of an old <em>Missile Command</em> cabinet, complete with cigarette burns. It&#8217;s too bad you can&#8217;t hang a coat on a trackball. Pricing hasn&#8217;t been announced yet, but if you&#8217;d like to inquire about ordering one you can contact Surface Tension <a href="http://www.surface-tension.net/contact.php">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While it won&#8217;t necessarily protect you the next time you head out to play paintball, this camouflage Super Mario Brothers hoodie will definitely help you stay hidden the next time you visit the Mushroom Kingdom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5227 aligncenter" title="super_mario_hoodie" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/super_mario_hoodie.jpg" alt="super mario camouflage hoodie" width="520" height="537" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Covered from head to waist with graphics inspired by the classic 8-bit platformer, the (slightly misspelled) MarioFlauge hoodie is perfect for the Mario fanatic in your life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5228 aligncenter" title="mario_hoodie_detail" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mario_hoodie_detail.jpg" alt="super mario camouflage hoodie" width="520" height="486" /></p>
<p>The Cotton/Poly hoodie is perfect for keeping warm in the cool days ahead. It features some really nice attention to detail, like a metal mushroom zipper pull, and little thumb hole cutouts in the arm bands &#8220;for quick gaming access&#8221; (which I&#8217;m pretty sure would be even quicker if you just stuck your hands out of the sleeves). There&#8217;s even an inside pocket for storing your iPod (although I think a GameBoy would be more appropriate).</p>

<p>The limited-edition hoodie is available for preorder now from <a href="http://www.enclothe.com/shop/pc/viewprd.asp?idcategory=3&amp;idproduct=515">Enclothe</a> for $65 USD.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/space_invader_jacket.jpg" alt="Space Invaders Jacket by Junk de Luxe" /></p>
<p>Designed by Scandanavian design mavens <a href="http://www.junkdeluxe.dk">Junk de Luxe</a>, the shiny synthetic look kind of reminds me of those cheezy old <a href="http://www.liketotally80s.com/members-only-jackets.html">Members Only</a> jackets, only further reinforcing the 1980s theme.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the only place I can find these is from <a href="http://www.trendlovers.dk/product_info.php?cPath=&amp;products_id=49">Trendlovers</a> in Denmark. So unless you happen speak Danish, you may be out of luck. If you absolutely must be kept warm by aliens this winter, you can always pick up a toasty <a href="http://www.technabob.com/blog/2007/11/03/space-invaders-scarf-aliens-to-keep-you-warm/">Space Invaders scarf</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would you say to a video game console that&#8217;s not controlled by a joystick, a mouse or even a Wii-mote, but instead by the relaxing touch of massage?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/massage_video.jpg" alt="Massage Me Video Game Jacket" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.massage-me.at/">Massage me jacket</a> lets the person giving the massage get their game on while the person receiving the treatment gets to chill out. More intensive massage results in better game play, motivating the masseur to give a good rub down. According to the designer of the device <em>&#8220;Otherwise wasted button-pushing energy is transformed into a massage and the addicted game player becomes an inexhaustible masseur.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/10/05/video-game-massage-controller-a-little-more-x-button-please/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/massage_jacket_2.jpg" alt="Massage Me Video Game Jacket" /></p>
<p>Numerous pressure sensors are built into the jacket, converting massage into control signals for a video game console.</p>
<p>Since the jacket really just works in place of a traditional gamepad, it works with many off-the-shelf games. I&#8217;d imagine that &#8220;button-mashers&#8221; like fighting games are best, while first-person-shooters probably wouldn&#8217;t work all that well. I wonder if <em>Dance Dance Revolution</em> would work best if you walked on the person&#8217;s back?</p>
