More geek-chic since I'm lame like that.

ghostdriveMost of the commenters on the Kotaku thread I saw these Space Invader hoodies on have been complaining over the lameness of them since they're not real Space Invader sprites, but I like them anyway. The all-over print looks awesome to me. The pattern reminds me of Hounds-tooth (sort of). The price, on the other hand, is a whole different story; there's no way I'd pay $150 for one hoodie.

Looking through my old issues of PSM I came across what I think is the most butch Tidus I've ever seen. (Egads, that sentence is awkward. I wanted to say "butchest", but spellcheck tells me its not a real word!)Yes, in an alternate universe Tidus was ejected from the Blitzball league for juicing. Sorry, Tidus, you've always been more boyish than masculine to me. XD
I kind of miss when PSM had their covers illustrated by comic book artists. It used to make them stand out from the other PlayStation magazines out there (but I guess that doesn't really matter now since they're the only U.S. magazine specializing in Sony video game consoles now that OPM was cancelled).
Note: I'm lazy so this is only a small portion of the illustrated PSM issues I have. And, er, the pink accents in images 2-5 here are actually neon orange. I never knew scanners didn't pick up certain neon colors. I'M LAME.
That last image of Yuna is my personal favorite PSM cover. Jo Chen is an incredible artist. ♥ (Jo Chen's New website and her old one if you're interested.)
Also, when I first scanned the Yuna cover, I'd forgotten about the "waving" the lettering did, so for a brief moment I thought my scanner was crapping out on me. XD

XDThe image is even better without all the lettering getting in the way (http://www.jo-chen.com/engpage/gallery/yuna.htm). The water, it amazes me. ♥ And Jo Chen does do the covers for Runaways.
