I was looking around for an interesting Halloween costume when I came across this awesome 5-person Tetris costume! The great thing about this costume is that unlike some other group costumes, you would be very recognizable apart or together.

While this isn’t the first Pac-Man quilt we’ve ever seen, I would argue it’s the best. Why? Because the Pac-Man and ghost pieces are movable, so you can play with them on the quilty game board! The blue parts are appliqued on with yellow buttons sewn on for the dots.

TEXTile is an interactive art piece made of nearly 23,000 computer keycaps, fabric, a projector, and custom software. Viewers can type messages that become a part of the project itself. Here’s how it works: “In this interactive sculpture, thousands of recycled keyboard keys are embedded into a continuous textile.

I’ve just found the perfect way to enhance your game room, or actually any room in your house needing a bit of fun, while at the same time saluting the salad days of gaming yore. Just peel and stick these terrific vinyl Pac-Man decals ($20) or Invaders decals ($45) from Sydney Etsy sellers vinylwalldesign up on your wall and start humming those theme songs every time you look at them. The Pac-Man kit includes Pac-Man (16.5cm

I read a news story the other day that whenever the economy is in the crapper, sales of safes shoot through the roof. I guess its better than putting your money under the mattress, right? Here’s a crazy safe that should keep all but the most devious of thieves away from your stash. Artist Alex Schlegel is the creator of this complicated puzzle-inspired safe.

Looking for some new fashions to upgrade your geekster wardrobe? Look no further than these clever t-shirt designs from New Zealand graphic artist Glenn Jones. Ever wonder how Darth Vader keeps his helmet so shiny and squeaky clean?

We have seen a lot of geeky treats, but these motherboard cakes can’t be beat! Who would think to combine butter, eggs, flour, and sugar into something resembling a motherboard? It turns out there are multiple people who have done just that, with varying results.

Just because you’re an insane video game addict, does it mean your pets need to be subjected to your obsession? If this Katamari Damacy dog costume is any indication, the answer to that question must be “yes”. From the looks of the pup in the picture, he’s clearly not amused with the whole thing.

It’s not that I haven’t seen robotic sculptures before, but I can say with confidence that I’ve never seen any as intricate as Jeremy Mayer’s incredible typewriter robots. Mayer builds his amazingly detailed sculptural creations entirely from parts found on old typewriters.

This is a frame that’s actually a real frame but it looks like a digital frame. Sort of. I’m confused! The frame is made by Irina Blok. It’s a wooden frame with a hand silkscreened design, made to look like an Apple doc screen.

Check out these great drink coasters, based on those ubiquitous iPhone menu icons. Created by the guys over at Brazil’s Meninos design (the same guys who make these awesome hard drives), these icon coasters are a great gift for any iPhone addict.

Love Dr. Who? Then have I got a shoe for you! A Dalek shoe, to be true. Yup, that’s a pair of handpainted Daleks gracing those black sneakers. These shoes are no one-note craft, though. In addition to the Dalek painting on the front, you’ve also got “EXTERMINATE” written on the back.

These robotroyshka dolls are one tricky mashup: they combine Russian nesting dolls, crochet, and robots into one deliciously adorable blend. I spotted these on the crafster forums. The ever-clever RhymeswOrange crocheted them by hand, and each one has a different felty face!

Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you roll a Katamari down the street with her and roll up the universe into a giant ball? While I like to think this Katamari wedding cake is filled with tiny buildings, cruise ships, cows and wildly gesticulating little people, it’s actually just lemon cake with strawberry filling.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Lego minifig, they’ve come out with 7 celebrity versions. They won’t be available to the public, however- which is probably for the best as they are sure to scare children and adults alike. The Amy Winehouse minifig actually looks good, for her, but then again it’s hard to express “I’m a nasty crackhead” in the minifig medium.

What could be cooler than a hand-stitched General Grievous tote? Um, how about a hand-stitched General Grievous tote that glows in the dark? Oh, how I’d love to flash this Star Wars baddie all around town! I don’t know that much about it, just that Flickr user woundupladybug is the master behind this creation.
