Baby Miittens: Little Ball Hands Not So Freakish After All

GeekSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:00:22 -0800

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?

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:42:15 -0800

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

GeekSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:01:57 -0700

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!

Mii Wedding Cake Toppers: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:00:48 -0700

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.

MiiSculptures will create your cake toppers from your pictures and/or Miis, for $140. I'm loving them. How about you? Oh, and for more wedding-planning mania, check IDoSugar!

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

GeekSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 14:00:34 -0700

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.

Edible Geek: Personalized Mii Cake Decorations

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 04:00:34 -0700

In preparation for her upcoming wedding, one woman sent the makers of Mii Sculptures her and her fiance's Miis and had them make some super geeky wedding cake toppers.

I couldn't find any photos of what the couple looks like in real life, but everyone knows I'm a geeky cake fanatic. I say these two are a match made in heaven.

I asked you readers to join my Mii Challenge by making Miis to look like yourself or your favorite celebrity and submitting them to the geeksugar's Mii Challenge group.

They are created with the Wii console, or if you don't have a Wii, you can make one online, take a screen shot of it and save it in the Mii group. So how do you join the geeksugar Mii Challenge?
