Pac-Man Hoodie: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

The more grownup I become, I tend to stop wearing articles of clothing that I think are not so grown up, like message tees, but one thing I'll never grow out of is hoodies. A good hoodie is your friend on laundry day and when you need to lounge around the house in maximum comfort, or to throw on for an errand.

In that sense, this Pac-Man Hoodie ($48) is perfect; it's soft and cozy, and hello video-game motif. But back to feeling grownup . . . am I too old to wear Pac-Man?

I think I can make an exception for this. Can you?

Motorized Pacman Plushies: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

OK, so my boyfriend may let me get away with splurging on a Desktop Pacman Arcade someday, and will quietly put up with my wearing a Pacman hoodie on movie date night (which you guys think is geek chic, thank you very much), but I think my Pacman obsession may have to end with the Motorized Pacman Plushies ($25-30), which could be a little too weird for me to throw down for.

These eight-inch tall motorized Pacman plushies come straight out of the console, and make themselves at home in your apartment. Since they're battery operated, you just turn them on and let them munch their way around, which will probably scare the bejesus out of your cat. Freaky? Kinda. It's like a bad Pacman nightmare coming to life.
