(shown at right) It includes headphones, a protective case for both your game system and three games, screen protectors and cleaners, a precision stylus and a tote bag.
While I've been posting the occasional geeky cake here, I should have realized that there would be an entire blog devoted to the subject. Super geek cake categories: Such yummy-looking geekiness!
Bento are traditional Japanese packed meals. Unlike American lunch boxes which tend toward the garish, bento boxes themselves are usually pretty simple. The food inside, however, is another story. It's often elaborately arranged into the shapes of flowers, animals or other designs. But it doesn't have to be cutesy. PlanetSurfer.net has a nice roundup of geeked-out bento box designs - perfect for hungry geeks.
Felicia Day may have come to mainstream attention when she costarred in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, but my love for her comes from The Guild, "an independent sitcom webisode about a group of online gamers. It is written for gamers, about gamers by a gamer." And yes, Day both writes and stars in the series. She told Lifehacker: I would say the end result of writing makes me very proud, but the process of acting is my joy. I created the role of "Codex" because there are not a lot of geek-girl archetypes out there in mainstream media, other than Tina Fey. I tried to tailor the role to feature my best qualities as a performer, and show the world that a lead woman character doesn't have to be perfectly put together to be able to carry a show. I spent years in Hollywood trying to be something I wasn't. When I finally embraced who I truly was and created a role for it, that was when I finally started feeling fulfillment.
The Boy Scout Store has a great selection of unusual and geeky scout merit badges - and despite the store's name, definitely great for girls as well as boys. Who wouldn't want a badge for blogging or brain surgery or Game Boy playing or rocket science (shown at left)?

Play-Asia.com has a new series of cases for the Nintendo DS Lite in "Milk", "Bitter" and "Raspberry" Chocolat colors. They will be available in April.
Pepto-Bismol pink isn't really my favorite color, and I don't have a bathroom big enough to hold all that stuff (I don't really think it would be much fun playing Wii while weeing, so to speak), but I'd definitely be willing to find space for the stuff somewhere, though . . .
If you pop the marriage question, keep in mind that Paul Pape Designs also offers personalized gaming cake toppers, featuring "MiiSpace" figures designed to your specs.
