Gamer Varsity Jackets: eSports!
I’m still keen on Insert Coin Clothing’s PlayStation varsity jacket. But if you’re more of a Nintendo gamer, check out these jackets courtesy of Etsy shop Player1clothing.
Most of the shop’s jackets are Pokémon-themed – maybe because of the game’s gyms? – but there are a few that reference other games, such as Mario Kart and Star Fox.
Warm up and stretch then head to Player1clothing’s Etsy shop to purchase the jackets. They sell for just ~$55 (USD) each.

Google changelog reveals upcoming Chrome devices with Star Fox-inspired codenames
Though we know virtually nothing about any Chrome OS-based devices in development at Google, we at least know what their engineers are calling them. Google insider François Beaufort revealed that developers working on such projects might be Star Fox fans, as several possible x86 devices seem to bear the Fox, Falco, Peppy and Slippy monikers, according to a recent changelog. None of this is proof of any future products, of course, but Fox and Slippy seem to be Haswell-equipped, according to Beaufort -- which would be a nice step up from their 1993-era Nintendo graphics power.

Star Fox 64 3D Figurines Will Make You Do a Barrel Roll of Joy
Star Fox 64 is as famous for its one liners as it is for its origami style vehicles. If you’re a fan of the game, these figurines by Takara Tomy won’t let you down, sir. They’re actually based on the 3DS remake of the game, but these are the first and thus only official models of the vehicles, so there’s no sense in nitpicking.
Although the models are available separately, Ryan Deaver of Nintendo Connect bought a whole set and was kind enough to share these pictures of his assembled vehicles. Although these are currently limited to Japan, Deaver says the instructions and labels are in English, so you don’t have to worry about messing up the Arwing, Landmaster or Blue-Marine.
Even though the models are not officially for sale outside of Japan, you can do what Deaver did and get them on eBay, where you can find a whole set for as low as $28 (USD).
