Geek Apparel of the Week: Space Invaders
 |
Two things you need to know about this shirt: 1) despite the animated image, it does come in all your favorite Space Invader flavors, and not just the UFO seen blinking here, and 2) you’ll have to order it from the U.K., meaning it ain’t the cheapest shirt in the world. Still, it is a shirt with a battery pack and awesomely nerdy, so it’s up to you to determine if the price is a dealbreaker. Order it here and don’t forget — only lunatics shoot through their own shields.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
