Premiere cap manufacturer New Era is getting into the video game thing in a major way it would seem, as the follow up line to their Pac-Man series of fitted hats is an even wider Space Invaders collection. Seven caps, each with embroidered classic Space Invaders graphics, make up the line and each run about 6000 yen (somewhere near $55 US). They're currently available at Japanese retailer Cap Collector and will match well with your expensive Space Invaders Porter luggage in the same vein. Somehow I don't think Taito is done commercially exploiting the game's thirtieth anniversary quite yet. More »

Some of the more casual fashion friendly types at Kotaku Tower aren't just into t-shirts and sneakers—some of us like fitted caps, too. So when Namco teams up with cap experts New Era for a line of Pac-Man fitteds, we expect great things. Oh wait, it's Namco. Expect run of the mill things. The Namco X New Era line looks to have dropped in Japan recently, a limited edition trio of wool baseball caps that feature Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky and Pinky. Each will set fans back 6090 yen (about $55 USD). More hats, more pics, at Fuctard's online store. More »

Perhaps there were oceans of swag at this year's E3 that I just couldn't see due to my gifting of a taxi cab driver with my glasses, but that doesn't mean I walked away empty-handed. I did get a real cool Fallout 3 t-shirt that I kinda technically already had, only three sizes too small for me. Oh! And I did snag a few of those nifty E3 hats that were being given away every time someone got off the shuttle bus at the main convention hangar, which are excellent for soaking up sun-melted Kotaku writer juice. You probably don't want the hats then. Can't say I don't blame you. Oh! And while I was supposed to be at E3 when I missed my initial flight on Tuesday, the nice folks at Bethesda delivered unto me a new lunch box, totally unsullied by airport screeners' hands! I love happy endings, don't you? More »

A while back we brought you news that NCSX was going to be selling these awesome Mario and Luigi hats so you could wear them around town and elicit odd stares from strangers. As a matter of fact, NCSX thought they were selling hats too. But, when the shipment arrived it turned out these hats weren't hats at all, but pillows! Still pretty cool, but if i had been one of those that pre-ordered one of these I'd be pissed. But at least now you can put these on your couch an elicit stares from your friends rather than the cruel nameless hordes. Flynn De Marco More »

Newsflash: We're all perverts! Yeah, I guess that isn't news to many of you, but now the pope thinks so as well. In a message marking the church's World Communications Day, Pope Palpatine Benedict XVI had choice words to say about our favorite pastime. More »
