Joystick Junkies: A Gamer Urban Outfitters

The London based clothing label “was founded on the idea of being a focal point of video games pop culture.” I stumbled across Joystick Junkies on ASOS and the brand immediately caught my eye for looking like a gamer Urban Outfitters. The collection is composed of a myriad of iconic gaming t-shirts such as goofy Minecraft Mario and Tetris Smiley Face to classic arcade signs and a pin-up girl with a Zapper gun (£18.99-24.99). The arcade t-shirts stand out the most for me because I spent hours in the arcade as a kid and even as an adult. Thank you, Ground Kontrol!

While I enjoy the pop culture inspired t-shirts, I’d like to see more variety in apparel and accessories from Joystick Junkies. I think the clothing line has a lot of potential especially with the partnership with ASOS.

Shop for Joystick Junkies on ASOS and their online store.

Gamers Are Charming: Video Games Charms

Donald James crafted some beautiful pewter charms inspired by your favorite video games including Mario, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Borderlands, Halo and Gears of War ($10-$35).

Legend of Zelda Weaponry Jewelry

Bombs and Deku Seeds aren’t just for defeating enemies anymore with the help of Hylian Crafts, makers of the Navi necklace as seen on Day 95 of 365 Days of Video Games Fashion. Weaponry never looked so charming with these bomb charms inspired by A Link To The Past ($4.50), Wind Waker ($6) and Twilight Princess ($6).

If you’re more into slingshots like Dennis the Menace then, grab a Deku Seed ($10) which is the perfect ammo against Deku Babas and Skulltulas.

Achievement Unlocked: I Survived E3

I spent yesterday playing the last of the E3 titles and running around the floor for some last minute views including DuckTales Remastered and Tiny Brains. I also met up with J!NX to say hello and chatting about what’s coming next.

Then, I got to go behind the scenes at Maker Studios where I bugged Lisa Foiles, Jesse Cox, The Completionist, Zelda Universe staff and Proton Jon to entertain me with lively conversation and debate. I concluded the night at The Escapist.

E3: Day One

It was a crazy day where I ran around the showlfoor with some of the crew from The Game Station soon to be Polaris. I met with TJ aka Link from Fistful of Rupees, the crew behind The Completionist, Davis of Warp Zone, Jesse Cox and Dodger. I played Lococycle on the Xbox One, played so many Wii-U games, danced to the Ghostbusters theme song and got hands-on with the Nvidia Shield. Check out OTL Gaming for all my E3 updates.

As for fashion, I got some great samples from Astro Gaming which I’ll review soon and feature on my 365 Days of Video Games. As for picture above, I am staying at Chateau Lisa Foiles and this is a sample of the love notes that she leaves me around the apartment.

Make sure to check out OTL Gaming for the latest scoop.

Gears Away! GOW3 and NerdMachine T-shirt

Lisa Foiles is a huge Gears of Wars fan. It’s hard to find awesome apparel for her beloved franchise and items that will fit her. I stumbled across this awesome and affordable t-shirt from Nerd Machine ($12.50) on Pinterest and I knew I had to share for all the gamers who fought for COG.
