8 bit junkies and gamers of the world unite. This is the bag of your dreams. ell if you dream of messenger bags. Chiropractors of the world probably dream of more practical things. but still you have to admit this is a mighty spiffy bag. Made to look like a giant Nintendo controller so you can relive your youth and carry your stuff.

I’ve spent most of my life carrying around a backpack, a messenger bag or something else to and fro. A place for my stuff if you will. Laptop bags replaced school bags and the amount of stuff never honestly changes too much. The first thing i care about with any bag is durability, specifically the place were the straps attach to the bag, I always end up tearing bags there. So while this bag might be the height of geek fashion I honestly can’t say whether or not it would stand up to what i would put it through. However for only 36.99 it isn’t too bad of an investment in geek chic.

Tonight’s show we talk about Star Wars, again! propaganda again! and steampunk AGAIN! The topics are staying the same but the content just keeps flowing. The good thing is that the content, like a grape left on the vine through a frost, is only getting sweeter. We have plenty of cruft from all different angles pouring in so sit back, grab a mug and enjoy the ride!

Not for the audiophile in the group, but a definite must have to any record collector, and i know a few. This unique design transforms the packaging of the record into the player itself! Overall a fun and playful take on packaging. Not that i think this is the best use of the box but it does solve a fun problem of making people aware of the waste of packaging.

As a tech i can’t count the number of times i have gotten a shipment from a vendor or a driver disk, software or some other small part only to be shipped in a box 3x the size needed. This product is a fun take on an unboxing i would watch /listen too.
