Table football for the lounge

If the only criteria was to be more acceptable in your living room than this football table, then the offside certainly wouldn’t have any problems… but it offers much more than that.

A very nicely designed piece with the stadium-esque surround. Note that there’s plenty of room on the glass for your beer and snacks without interfering with play. Made from solid oak, with stainless controls and a mirrored pitch. The score markers are built into the 10mm glass top, which look pretty sweet.
There’s only one table for my living room. But if I had a second, then this would be bang in the middle.

Space Invaders chewing gum

You know when you’ve really made it as a real retro-gamer when you’re chewing on a piece of this whilst hammering away on those buttons.

As part of Space Invader’s official 30th birthday, this stuff is actually official as it’s licensed by Taito to Lotte candy.

I’m going to try and get my hands on some of this stuff from Japan. If I did, it wouldn’t get a chew from me!
