E.L.A. in “Love at 1st Byte”

by the hammer of Dan Zuccarelli!

I’ve got no idea as to the history of this clip, where it comes from or what. I suppose it’s possible it’s a foreign series from the late 70’s/80’s (the open and theme certainly seem to invoke that feeling). But something tell’s me this is much newer and just emulates the feel of that time.

Either way this clip has some girl bouncing around in crazy tron-like glowing pink armor (with sword) generally kicking ass. Then out of nowhere space invaders show up. Yes, old school space invaders. Then things get weird.

Where the Mario “Pow” block fits in I have no idea…

What do you get when you mix Space Invaders with Heavy Metal: The Movie? Well the short movie “E.L.A. in Love at First Byte” aims to show you. It starts strange and never stops.

Space Invaders Quilt

God I wish I had more money lying around. On top of all the drugs and hookers I could buy I’d also pick up this handy Space Invaders quilt, which looks to be the perfect thing to wrap yourself up in while you’re coming down off the heroin. It’d probably also work great keeping you warm while you get your game on, but I like to dream big.

This bad-boy will set you back $250.00 and while that seems like a ton of dough, with the craftsmanship involved I can honestly say it seems to be worth every penny. It’s just sadly more pennies that I have on hand. Etsy as usual serves up the high quality video game crafts.

Space Invaders knit hat

by the hammer of Dan Zuccarelli!

Oh Etsy, how I love your crafts so.

I’ll admit the middle of May probably isn’t the right time to be in the market for a knit hat, but when it’s this damn cool there’s exceptions that need to be made. Between the cool retro vibe to the little pom-poms, this hat hits all the right notes. Plus for a handmade item, the price is very reasonable. Check it out here!
