What better way to let the world know how much you love games?

In Australia, gaming is a hobby that?s not taken as seriously as it should be. In between certain South Australian attorney generals dictating that our nation shouldn?t have an adult rating for games and the tangent belief that gamers are overweight, unattractive teens, one doesn?t have to wonder too hard as to why this is.

If this is to change then gamers of all shapes, sizes and ages need to declare their love of gaming to the masses; and what better way than with an animated Space Invaders t-shirt? Gizmodo has the skinny on the out-of-this-world shirt that reads gamer, but screams geek. The shirt will set you back $50 but definitely earns you kudos on the retro gaming front.

It?s powered by three, AAA batteries (sold separately) which connect to a screen on the front of the shirt to show the Space Invaders animation. Unfortunately, you can?t actually interact with the game animation beyond switching it off when you?re not out in public. The Space Invaders animated shirt is available for purchase now from Latest Buy to show off your gaming pride.
