Geek Apparel: Nerd Jerseys, Rage Against Humanity, Han Quixote
 |
?? You guys know I love a good nerdy hockey jersey, and these upcoming ones from Dave’s Geeky Ideas look pretty damned good. As you can see, they come in Voltron and House Stark flavors (although there’s also a House Lannister one available on their site), and the emblems are actually embroidered on them, not just printed — which is why $65-70 is a pretty reasonable price, methinks. You have until November 17th to get your order in here.

?? Cobra Commander does not care for the machine, not one bit. It’s $25 at We Love Fine.

?? Yeah, I couldn’t resist this play on words. Hey, if any of you classic-literature-mashed-up-with-nerd-things authors wants to make a Star Wars-themed version of Don Quixote, I’ll buy 100 copies right now. Until then, I’ll have to make due with this shirt, which is $11 at The Yetee.
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.
