New Nerdiest Thing Ever: Warcraft Beer Steins
My brain has trying to parse the hideously nerdy to actually kind of awesome ratio of these beer steins for the last few hours, and has failed. I know World of Warcraft is inherently nerdy, but drinking beer is not. But the steins come in Alliance, Lich King and Horde designs, which is beyond hideously nerdy… but then if you buy them, you’re probably using them to drink beer, which is all right. It all makes my head hurt. Basically, I designed if you buy one of these things and refuse to drink out of it, you’re the nerdiest person on the planet. Then I had to go lie down for a while. Order ’em here for a mere $90 each. (Via Geekologie)
