Drippy Table

Sadly, this table is just a concept made by French designer John Nouanesing. Hopefully this gets produced in the future. Check out some of Nouanesing’s other concepts.
Why just stop at tables? I’d like to see a bloody flat screen, or a bloody laptop, or a bloody fridge. Basically, everything in my house should look like [...]

What do 1942 and Cammy have in common?

If you don’t already know by now, we’re pretty big fans of two things here at ALBOTAS.COM: Shmups and 2D fighters. Mike McWhertor has combined our two passions to form the single most awesome geek shirt we’ve ever seen. The portrayal of Cammy as one of those old-school pin-up girls is brilliant. McWherter also hints [...]

Metal Gear Solid Tour T-shirts

Apparently Metal Gear Solid is some sort of rock star now because Japan will be releasing tour shirts for $40. The backs of the shirts even have all of the stops from the tour. They only come in sizes M and L. Sorry, little guys.
Metal Gear Solid is a cool cat and all, but I [...]

Kidrobot x Tarina Tarantino - New Jewelry Line

Kid Robot announced that they will be releasing a jewelry line designed by Tarina Tarantino. The jewelry line will debut on July 30th and will range from $65 to $975. Personally, I don’t know how I would feel about purchasing a set of smorking monger earring for my girlfriend, not truly a fan. But the [...]

Yes, this is indeed the epitome of what we at ALBOTAS headquarters like to call “fucking amazing.”

This “box art” for Mega Man 9 was done by Gerald de Jesus whose name might ring a bell for those familiar with I Am 8-bit. The art was put onto 4 shirts for Capcom staff to wear [...]

Pre-order ‘Mirror’s Edge’ and Get A Bag

Steve touched on this a bit in his post yesterday, but since I’m such a huge fan of bags, I figured this was awesome enough for its own post.
Basically, all you have to do is pre-order Mirror’s Edge for the 360 or PS3 at GameStop and get a sweet Runner bag. It’s the same bag [...]

Nike Hyperdunks Event = Disappointing

According to people that were at the Hyperdunks Debut last week in Santa Monica, the Nike-sponsored event was badly organized. Many of the people waiting hours in line didn’t get the chance to buy Hyperdunks, there were only 100 pairs of sneakers available!!! WTF is that about?!?!?! Nike plans a huge SNEAKER event but only [...]

To-Do Tattoo

I am sure we all have the common problem of forgetting what we need to pick up at the store, or leaving the list of things we need on the table and don’t realize until we leave the house. Well, over at Perpetual Kid they have a new way to make your to-do lists. It [...]

Devil May Cry Darts (yeah, we don’t get it either)

I’m not sure which is weirder, these Devil May Cry branded darts, or those Devil May Cry cardigans from a while back. I guess if you’re really into DMC and darts, this should be right up your weird little alley. Get a whopping 3 darts for $30 (wtf $10 per dart!?) here.

2015 McFly Sneakers Are Coming!

Great Scott!
The McFly 2015’s have probably been the coolest shoes in cinema history forĀ  quite some time now. Thank God Nike finally came around and decided to these bad boys into production. The only bummer is the fact that they aren’t the exact shoes from Back to the Future, they’re inspired by the shoes from [...]
