Namco TV games 5-in-1 joystick
X-Box 360? Blah. Playstation Portable? Yawn. Gameboy Micro? Meh. These newfangled video games just don’t have the irresistable pixelicious awesomeness of the games of yesteryear. Luckily, those gaming classics are finding new life on plug-and-play video games like this one, which just plugs directly into the A/V hookup on your TV. The 5-in-1 features the original Pac-Man, Galaxzar, Dig-Dug, and more; other versions look like the original Sega Genesis controller and play the original Mortal Kombat or Sonic the Hedgehog. Relive those childhood favourites for a fraction of the price, and show those younger siblings how we did it back in the day.

Wool-Cashmere scarf
A 10% cashmere scarf is actually about 200% better than those ugly, sweaty, don’t-keep-you-warm, acrylic/polyester strips currently strangling your friends and family.
