Baby Miittens: Little Ball Hands Not So Freakish After All

Danger, childless geeks! Viewing this baby gnawing on her Knitted Miittens may make you want to have children.

Danger, childless geeks! Viewing this baby gnawing on her Knitted Miittens may make you want to have children. Or at least coo at this tiny baby's face.

Available as a pattern on Knitty, the Miittens (which are padded on the inside for wittle baby hands) have caused me to stop thinking those ball-hands that Wii avatars have are weird. No, they are now, and forever will be, adorable.

With this and the new website Kniitting, I have but one thought: Knitters, mobilize.

Mii Face Pins: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Take your Mii with you even after you put down the Wiimote with these hand-sewn Mii Pins, $10.50 each from Etsy.

Take your Mii with you even after you put down the Wiimote with these hand-sewn Mii Pins, $10.50 each from Etsy. Right now there are only four characters to choose from, so hopefully you already resemble one of them (or know someone who does). If you're really desperate for a custom Mii pin, maybe you can cajole the artist, Craftsholic, to make one with your own Mii.

They're pretty cute, but considering that I don't think Mii Cake Toppers are going too far, I may be alone. What do you think?

Miis Sneak Their Way Into Guitar Hero World Tour

If you don't think you'll be able to break away from Guitar Hero long enough to check out Wii Music this October, but like the idea of seeing your Mii rock out on guitar then you, my friend, are in luck.

If you don't think you'll be able to break away from Guitar Hero long enough to check out Wii Music this October, but like the idea of seeing your Mii rock out on guitar then you, my friend, are in luck. The Wii version of the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour will have a special game exclusive to Wii players called "Mii Freestyle" that lets you jam with a friend, and see your Mii playing along on screen.

Similar to the game's Music Studio mode, Mii Freestyle lets you pick and choose the notes you play (hence the whole freestyle concept), and you can even jam with the Nunchuck and Wiimote air-guitar style. Yes, you heard me, air guitar. I better get my game face on, stat!

Why get bride and groom cake toppers that only vaguely look like you — or are rudely preoccupied with their cell phones — when you can have Wii Miis made in your image?!

Why get bride and groom cake toppers that only vaguely look like you — or are rudely preoccupied with their cell phones — when you can have Wii Miis made in your image?! I'm not even kidding, this is a kind of reasonable compromise on geeking out just a little bit for your wedding — juuust a little, tiny bit, to let your wedding guests know of your Wii-loving status on your big day.

Love It or Leave It? Mii Love You Long Time Tee

When I posted all my favorite Geeky Girl Tees, I explained I really do think gamer shirts can be geek chic when they are smart, design conscious and funny.

When I posted all my favorite Geeky Girl Tees, I explained I really do think gamer shirts can be geek chic when they are smart, design conscious and funny. So when I saw this Mii tee, all three elements caught my eye... And with a slogan that reads "Some Mii's play tennis...others make you think they love you and then take your money," you can't help but give it a second glance. If you love playing the Wii and are Mii obsessed, this might be the perfect gaming T for you! Do you love this T long time? Available in small, medium and large (and mens as well) for $20 from nerdy shirts. Click here to check out all the Geeky Guy t-shirts.
