For a second I thought that Dungeon Siege coaster looked pretty cool. Then I realized that I am the problem.
7. Dungeon Siege Coaster

Keep your drinks from staining your furniture... to the extreme!!! But be careful, because any cold drink you place on this bad boy will doubtlessly erupt with the heat of a thousand suns.
Paradoxically, anyone with enough bad taste to want to buy these ugly coasters actually owns a dungeon where they wouldn't look out of place amidst all the other crap. Well played, Etsy.
6. 2 Girls 1 Up Button

What's wrong with Daisy's... everything?
Finally, your two favorite video game girls and your favorite horrifying porno are together on a button or keychain. This is another product where the cultural relevancy expired about five seconds after it was created, but don't let that stop you from telling the world that you love video games and coprophilia. Think of the interesting people you'll meet, and then be locked in an abandoned warehouse by.
5. Majora's Mask Earrings

Etsy has lots of cute video game earrings. It also has these. Admittedly, I don't know much about earrings, so maybe having the creepy mask salesman from Majora's Mask staring into the soul of anyone who looks at you is a hot new fad. But I think the general rule is that you shouldn't adorn yourself with the images of angry, scary people. That's why you don't see many Ted Bundy necklaces.
4. Call of Duty Onesie

If you own this, you're in some Bad Company oh God I'm so sorry.
Ha, Call of Doody. Get it? You see, Call of Duty is a video game, and duty sounds like doody, and that's poop. Isn't that hilarious? Poop? Ah, this is probably over your head. Try watching Wreck-It Ralph; it will explain this joke about a dozen times for you.
3. Cat Playing Video Games Art Tile

What the hell is going on here? It looks like Hitler drew Garfield. Combining video games and cats is apparently the Internet equivalent of a speedball - awesome when done properly, disastrous when not. And not to overlook the cat-thing's deformities, but I can't for the life of me figure out what kind of controller that's supposed to be. Whatever it is, I'm assuming the cat is playing ChuChu Rocket! and purposely losing.
2. Video Game Soap and Shampoo

The creator of video game soap is on a "Lvl 3 quest to drench the gaming community with awesomeness!" and "give gamers a reason to shower," two claims that should make you shudder in revulsion. The soap is scented like Mountain Dew and sold with the aid of softcore pornography, because if your marketing strategy is "insulting stereotypes" there's no point in only going halfway.
In addition to a wide variety of soaps, you can also buy Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper and Pepsi scented caffeinated shampoo. Perfect for the gamer who's always wanted to smell like a fast-food restaurant's filthy soda fountain! While I don't wish to "downplay the epic-ness of this trio," I have to take objection to the claim that using this would be a "FTW way to start the day." Because anyone who said that to me would spend the rest of the week eating through a straw, and an assault charge is no way to start the day.
1. NES Controller BDSM Paddle

Well, that's it. The last of my fond childhood memories is dead.
Those of you who grew up masturbating to Nintendo games will be pleased to know that for a mere 40 dollars you can get your lover to beat you with a gigantic NES controller, assuming that anyone who buys this is capable of convincing someone to have sex with them. Pair it with this Piranha Plant riding crop and you'll never again be able to play a Mario game without getting uncontrollably aroused! "Now I'm playing with power," someone using this paddle would probably whisper in a sultry voice, while the Mega Man theme plays in the background.
More links from around the web!

"Au contraire, my naive friend," the Internet said, smugly. "Au contraire."
Also, I have to admit it's been a while since I've visited TR, and I am no less than fucking delighted at the sudden influx of GIFs in the comments section.

If you're like me, and still think of the old meaning of FTW, the shampoo description is pretty accurate.
To be on-topic for this thread:
It bugs the piss out of me to see people profiting using someone else's ideas and intellectual property.
Nobody cares about the Fantastic Four reboot. You know why? Because it's not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's going to be in the FoX-Men universe, and it's only being made to satisfy the requirements to keep the film rights in Fox's hands.
I don't want to see another Fox superhero movie. I want to see the FF go to Marvel Studios where they fucking belong.
Please, people, stop paying to see X-Men, Spider-Man, and Fantastic Four movies produced by Fox and Sony.
@nix.nightbird maybe these are the Fantastic Four movies we deserve, just not the Fantastic Four movies we need right now.
<<I'm so ashamed of myself for that.>>
@James.k.Polk @nix.nightbird
This is bizarre: I posted this in ANOTHER thread. Not this one, I swear!!! I'd click to post and nothing would happen over there, and then I came in this one and saw it posted several times.
So sorry... Wrong thread, and it's totally not my fault. MVN is acting wonky.
Thanks, random Etsy guy, but I already have a Dungeon Siege coaster.
It's Disc 2 of Dungeon Siege, which was rendered absolutely useless to me otherwise after I lost Disc 1.
Well, to be fair, it was pretty useless when you had Disc 1, too.
That Pokemon bra gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Gotta catch em all!"
Someone needs to post the GIF of Nathan Fillion being rendered speechless, STAT.
@rabidronnie @James.k.Polk You have restored my faith in humanity.
For now.
" If you're such a hardcore gamer that you feel compelled to express your love through your alcoholism, you're in need of multiple interventions."
Um..no. But I am such a hardcore drinker that I feel compelled to express my love through gaming...and through drinking. I'm in need of multiple interventions and/or a crown royal konami code.
I've seen many pokebras in my internet day, but that one is the most godawfully designed one. I could do better and I make plushies of comic book characters for chrissakes!
@Someguy_ @Regular_Stormy I was back until I had to go to work! But now I am back!
@Regular_Stormy Yay! You're back!

Not much going on. . . o.o as long as you don't look at the last post from yesterday. . .
@Regular_Stormy also, tumblr gifs have apparently stopped being nice. This is a problem in my life.
@rabidronnie @Regular_Stormy Sorry just back from work. ITS AMAZING!! Read it if you like amazing things.
@rabidronnie @Regular_Stormy I have never used a gif before, but have definitely enjoyed plenty. And I saw that post! It's so sad/hilarious. Have you (or anyone) been reading the current IDW series?
Huh- I would assume a Portal based perfume would smell more like charred flesh, potatoes, and shower curtain plastic- with a hint of lemon.
@rabidronnie@TheConjurerOfCheapTricksI prefer the drink...

I always thought my nose was a most excellently protuberant proboscis, but the one on that soap model puts mine to shame. *flares nostrils in envy*
omg this list show that even video games can produce merch that makes you go what were they thinking including those earrings of number three one wears those and its a bet other people will wonder about the person. plus does one really want to smell like their favorite video game?
Laughed out loud reading this list. Well done, sir!
Incidentally, one AWESOME etsy shop that nerdy people with ladyfriends/an interest in scents should know about is http://www.etsy.com/shop/falsenostalgia . The shop's closed right now while the proprietor works on some orders for customers, but she does perfumes and other fragrance-based items (soaps, lip tints, occasionally body butters) that are based on characters/settings from a host of fandoms: Doctor Who, GoT, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Supernatural, Firefly. . . I think she's working on a Battlestar Galactica line right now, too. It's neat stuff.
@rabidronnie Oooh, my wife and I checked this out... some of those soaps look fantastic. I'll have to pick something up when they get back from "Vacation"
@NealKristopher @rabidronnie Store is up now. The soaps ARE pretty wonderful--I have a Gallifrey soap and she sent me a free sample of "Under the Willow" soap too (fragrance for Rue of Hunger Games). I also have. . . five fragrances now? one of them for husband, four for me because I am addicted to pretty smelling things...and two lip tints. . .I may have a problem.
@rabidronnie Knowing you have a problem is the first step. Come to our meetings. We can get that soap monkey off you back and you can have a normal life again like me.

Gentlemen with Whovian girlfriends/wives/women they seek to woo. . . get/wear the scent Allons-y. It's. . . yeah. It's nice. Very.

thanks for the heads up rabid I was really thinking about that Pokebra as my anniversary present it does look shinny
@10glfan59 Just as long as you don't start nicknaming sides.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3m3ghGgsD1r1n5pqo1_500.gif
@10glfan59 Boy would your wife be surprised seeing you wear that for your anniversary.
I've seen a Pokebra that I liked, granted it wasn't that particular example, it was totally legit with no shitty felt or rhinestones, just like colored in cleanly with...fabric pens? Is that a thing, crafters? Also there were boobs in it. Helped considerably.
@bothgunsblazin I feel like there should be a "pokebra we deserve, not the pokebra we need right now" joke here.
@bothgunsblazin This shop sells some really decent looking PokeBras and other geek themed brasserie. http://www.etsy.com/shop/SceeneShoes The thing that bothers me about the video game soaps is that most of the details are stickers that would come off in a messy mess the first time they were used. Then you'd just have an awkward shaped piece of.. fruit scented soap?
I read this list with dread, praying my cover artist's shoppe didn't have anything on here. Nothing. Huzzah! (http://www.etsy.com/shop/DeeplyDapper)
