The ThinkGeek 8-bit Tie

A few of us monkeys at ThinkGeek had this great shared dream a few months ago. In it, the whole world was 8-Bit, just like the video games we grew up on. We found ourselves having to leap from platform to platform, to search for pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, and to fight scary mutated plants and animals. The music was awesome (and still stuck in our heads) but the coolest part was what we were wearing: a tie. But not just any tie, an 8-Bit tie!

This all began out as an April Fool's joke this past year, but the demand was so high for production, that ThinkGeek really had no choice but to develop it (since they are in the business of making money, after all).

Great looking tie, but I have a hard enough time getting women as is.

Makes me think of the show 'Code Monkeys' on G4. Discounting for a minute the 16year old potty humor, that's a pretty apt description.

ThinkGeek descriptors are always chock-full of geek humor, hence their name I guess. I've only seen Code Monkeys once or twice, but I think what you say is pretty accurate.
