Hawty McBloggy Invites You to Play

There is nothing I love more than wearing my video games around my neck. Sometimes I will even wear them in my nose. I have yet to wear them around my wrist though, but this bracelet just may change that.

This video game controller-themed bracelet features handmade polymer clay charms. Receiving some love on this adorable piece of jewelry are miniature versions of an Xbox 180 controller, an Xbox 360 controller, an NES controller, an Nintendo gun controller, a Wiimote, an X-plorer guitar, and an Atari joystick. Noticeably absent is anything even remotely PlayStation related. I guess it scores points for accuracy, eh?

A very sweet and dear friend of mine recently got me the coolest Grunt action figure. Due to a signature adorning the front of the package, this solitary Grunt is destined to live a confined and lonely life with his weapons being his only companions. I’m just hoping he won’t become bitter and spiteful like Stinky Pete the Prospector did. While I’m not able to play with that particular Grunt, this cute plush Grunt is ready and waiting for some serious playtime action.

Made out of two tone denim and polyester and stuffed to the brim with fluff, this is the cutest and softest Grunt you will ever encounter. His hands come minus the plasma grenades with a magnet hidden in one of his arms instead, allowing him to pull off some completely bad ass moves on your refrigerator. Unfortunately the price is a bit steep for my tastes but if you have more disposable income than I do, perhaps this is the tiny Covenant creature for you. The only improvement this Halo plush figure needs is next time it should be stuffed with confetti. Headshot!

When you think of Super Mario Brothers, do you immediately get an image of a bloody princess being brutally impaled by a sadistically violent piranha plant? Rest assured you and your twisted mind are not alone.

An Etsy seller by the name of ceefurn has created a Mario-themed oil on canvas piece of art that appeals to our darker side. Mario is absolutely bug eyed in disbelief at the sight of his beloved Princess with a Pirahna Plant tendril piercing straight through her head. With her crown resting at a precarious angle, bright red blood drips through her hair as the callous Pirahna Plant looks on with a bloody and evil grin. If this is the Super Mario Brothers you have always envisioned, this nightmarish 38″x36″ piece will run you a very pretty $250. I guess the princess is now in the castle in the sky.

Link seems to be a bit of a lush. He is always sipping on a brightly colored potion of some sort but he doesn’t seem to consume a whole lot of solid food. Perhaps that’s his secret to maintaining his girlish figure. If someone were to cook him a great big meal to fatten him up a bit, I would imagine this is one of the kitchen gadgets they would use.

This cutting board is made from walnut and hard-maple wood and was put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue. Any hardcore Zelda fan will love the focal point of everybody’s favorite sacred fictional relic. No cooking utensil is complete without the Triforce you know. I’m not sure what the current conversion rate is for Rupees but you should probably start saving now.

Sometimes you have those days where you wake up feeling sassy and you want to express it, just not to the whole world. So you reach into the dark depths of your undergarment drawer for that one special pair of undies that you know will keep you grinning throughout your day. They make you feel special. They make you feel happy. They make you feel sexy. This is that pair.

This (size medium) pair of black underwear is meant for men, but I really can’t imagine a man wearing them. Or maybe I just don’t want to. I guess if I want to picture a man in these, he better need an extra large. A medium just doesn’t cut it. Regardless, the focal point of these black undies is a bold and dramatic piranha plant. Well it’s the focal point until someone is actually modeling them. Oh my goodness, this underwear is apparently getting me all riled up. I should probably cut this article short before I say something entirely inappropriate. Like you weren’t thinking of the Mario pipe jokes too.

Having your hair fall in your face during a frantic multiplayer video game session is detrimental to your ultimate goal of winning. The distraction caused by always having to tuck it behind your ear or brush it aside takes your hands off your controller during possible crucial times which is completely unacceptable. I refuse to miss a beatdown because my hair is blocking my view. These adorable hairclips help me stay focused on the game so I can accidentally betray my teammates to my heart’s content.

I purchased my Nintendo hairclips several months ago and they are by far my most used hair accessory. Thankfully the seller is good about keeping them stocked in her store so you can find them pretty easily. They are teeny tiny and not nearly as big as they look in the picture (they are perfect for pulling back just the top center section of your hair). I am wearing one of those hairclips in this picture (from a Monday Night Football game!) just to give you an idea of how much hair it can hold. Go stock up and never lose a game again because of the length of your hair. You may lose because your over zealous teammate keeps throwing grenades in an innocent attempt to help you when you are fighting an opponent but at least your hair will be held nicely off your face, right?

Sometimes people get a little obsessed with their favorite video game characters. Seven foot tall Spartans do it for me personally, but if you have a thing for young Hylian boys then this extremely unique garment will undoubtedly do it for you.

This adorable corset features Legend of Zelda panels mixed with green and white polka dot fabric. It is topped with two black and white polka dot bows and comes ready to be laced up just as tight as you can get it. Comfortable? Probably not so much. Perfect for certain people who have a particular fondess for Link? Definitely.

Some people are such complete and total bad asses that a neon green skull covered strap for their guitar shaped controller just doesn’t cut it. Thankfully there is now an option fit for a true Guitar Hero.

Rock stars looking for a unique way to support their guitar controller while standing up will love this chain maille guitar strap. Made from 16ga shiny bright aluminum, each end stays secured to your toy guitar “with a piece of leather fastened with an ultra bad stainless steel spike to a strong brass connector bar”. The seller says it won’t tarnish and that it is extremely lightweight so you can rock out for long periods of time without being unnecessarily weighed down. Want to customize it even further? Apparently you can choose rings of a specific color (for an additional charge) which may come in handy if you want to coordinate a pink strap with your pink plastic guitar shaped controller. Which some of us may want to do.

Who hasn’t found themselves wishing they had a stained glass interpretation of the adorable Link from The Legend of Zelda? Ok, so maybe it’s just this gal but I bet there are also plenty of other people that would love to have this beautiful tribute to the young Hylian boy.

This stained glass mosaic, which took the creator approximately three months to complete, looks to be about one foot wide and two and half feet tall. The eyes are the striking focal point and “made of a single piece of black glass grinded to fit“. Available for a very pretty $250 at ProphetOfDoom’s Etsy Shop, Link can now live forever in your garden as he does in your heart.

I am strangely addicted to video game-themed jewelry, but you knew that already. Remember my beyond adorable Guitar Hero necklace? I loved it so much that I had to order another item from the same store, this time a custom pink Xbox 360 controller necklace.

Quality is just as high with this necklace as my last one. It is insanely detailed, down to the d-pads and the guide button. She attached colored beads (that coordinate with the button colors) to the side of it, a little touch that I simply love. This piece cost me about $20 total including shipping and handling, which is well worth it considering how often I sport it. Skybluebunny, the creative force behind these tiny gaming-themed pieces of jewelry, accepts custom orders so you can always send her a message via Etsy if you absolutely can’t live without something like this. I know I certainly can’t.
