    If you've ever wolfed down an entire pepperoni pie by yourself just for an excuse to hang out at the local pizzeria and beat those kids' scores on the ancient Galaga machine (okay, maybe that's just me), have I got the gadget for you! This super-retro Pac-Man joystick literally looks like it was jacked straight out of the arcade and modernized to fit conveniently on your lap or coffee table. Just pop in some batteries and plug the device into your TV and you instantly have a long night ahead of you in old school gamer girl heaven. With 12 classic arcade games in one compact console, you can officially save the trip to the pizza joint (and the calories that inevitably come with it) and you can geek out in the privacy and convenience of your own home (unless, of course, you want to invite the whole building over for a tournament).


    Price: $40

    There's nothing like football in the fall: the crisp smell of fresh fallen leaves on the tailgate grounds, the glow of the bright lights that illuminate the early-to-darken autumn sky, and the sweat steaming off the evening's heroes as they fight for the game. Unless you're Van Wilder, college only lasts a good four(ish) years before the real world without attending weekly football games ensues. Luckily, you can live the college legacy though your favorite sports teams with some spirited sportswear! With NCAA football heating up, what better way than to spend your weekends rooting your favorite football team(s) in full gear? And we're not talking mama's old college logo sweatshirt from her pep club days -- University sports shops nationwide have garnered some pretty sweet collections that would make any fan stylish. With school just having started, football is certainly the sport to start with, but you can let the fun continue through the year with some cutting edge fan wear to support your love for your other big college favorites, basketball and baseball! Take just a peep in this slideshow at the great variety of college sportswear in store for you at your favorite NCAA team's online shop and celebrate your team spirit!

    Hot In The Hive: PS3 Slim

    Good news, gamer girls. The Sony Playstation 3 has undergone a fabulous makeover. The PS3 Slim, available now for pre-order from various online retailers, is not only slimmer (and thus more space-saving and more portable), but cheaper and greener too, using 34% less power than the original model. I'm not sure if remodeling itself to more closely resemble the Wii will give it equally stellar sales as its skinny competitor cousin, but the lower price will be sure to send gamers to the store who were once thwarted by the intimidating price tag. While the system has reportedly been spotted at select Best Buy stores already (hmm, mysterious), it doesn't officially hit the shelves until September 1st.

    Hot In The Hive: The Nintendo DSi

    I don't know about you, but as a closet video game geek (okay, maybe not so "closet"), I was super excited about the long-awaited release of Nintendo's newest portable entertainment system, the Nintendo DSi. As the third generation product of the company's sleek DS line, the DSi doesn't look too much different than its predecessor, the DS Lite, at first glance. However, with the incorporation of two built-in cameras (yes, two!), a music player and sound recorder, and Wi-Fi capabilities for its very own "app" store, this updated gadget is indeed new and improved in the fun department despite its similar physicality to its older relatives. The two cameras (one internal for self-portraits and another external for maximum lurking potential) allow you to capture and manipulate snapshots, similar to Apple's addictive PhotoBooth, as well as keep photo journals with the device's calendar feature. With the SD memory card slot you can upload and listen to your own music and even distort sound with a swipe of the stylus, and with the DSiWare software, you can access the DSi's online store and purchase games and apps for increased time-killing competence. Since I've only had my DS Lite for a year or two and buying a brand-new console isn't exactly in my meager budget, I'll just have to encourage fellow gaming gals to make the purchase so I can get my hands on it for a couple hours and test it on my own!
