You know, every now and then it’s nice to show your gaming pride around the ol’ bachelor pad. We’re not saying you need to throw up a shelf of Bioshock action figures, but quietly inserting your love for all things video game never hurt.
Although we won’t stop you from throwing up a Big Daddy statue on top of the microwave, you might want to start smaller – and what better conversation starter than man’s oldest and trustiest companion: the drink coaster.
So grab a nice, cold beverage and read up on the 10 Most Fanatical Video Game Drink Coasters while you wish you had one for the drippy beverage next to you.
10. Space Invaders Game Coasters - The fact that someone turned drink coasters about a classic video game into a game itself means that either this person’s a genius or that that they’re incredibly lonely.
9. Bubble Bobble - Break out these babies if you want to seem like a really huge nerd, then whip out a really weird pick-up line to seal your fate like, “You know, 8-bit dinosaurs aren’t the only things that blow bubbles out of their mouths and wrap them around things.”
8. Super Mario Coasters - Nothin’ wrong with a classic, you might just need to find some oddly-shaped glasses for these.
7. Bioshock Plasmids – Sure, it’s promotional shwag, but seeing old-timey ads for plasmids only brings you one step closer into thinking you live in a ruined, underwater dystopia.
6. Classy Invaders - For the rugged gentleman who likes Space Invaders. “Oh, these? Yeah, this is just a naturally-occurring pattern in the wood.”
5. Red Ring of Death Coasters - We said it once, and we’ll say it again: nothing helps crush XBox 360 death more than the weight of a sweaty beer bottle.
4. Pac-Man Ghoasters – It looks like one of those ghosts didn’t make it through the last drink being slammed on their face…
3. Escape From Monkey Island! - Adventure + Monkeys + Treasure = the only three things you ever need to think about for the rest of your life.
2. 8-Bit Zelda – We wish every drinking session began with receiving a wooden sword from a creepy old man in a cave. Oh wait, now it can!
1. Super Mario 2 Phantos - These are by far the most fanatical and nerdy coasters we’ve seen on the internet. Whatever you do, don’t remove the key. We have a feeling they’ll do something terrible…like deliberately knock over your drink.
