Do you feel that carrying an iPod the old-fashioned way is too complicated? Reach into a pocket, take it out, push buttons, shove it back in…

There’s an easier way to use it and you even get a bonus: +50 lack of fashion sense. You have to provide the belt for the BeatBuckle, but it can hold the iPod Nano (1st and 2nd generation), iPod Video (5th generation 30gb, 60gb, 80gb) and the new iPod Classic… so if you’re a fan of Apple’s mp3 players, you’re set.

But I have to dissapoint you: no, it doesn’t come with the girl.

There’s a lot of funny or geeky t-shirts out there, and many of them are very cool, but it doesn’t mean that’s all there is to casual clothes.

The Winds Of Change t-shirt, for example, offers some food for thought – and some hope. We might be set on screwing up all our natural resources now, but there’s always renewable energy. And even if it won’t happen in our lifetime, our children might change something.

We don’t know if this will prove accurate or not, but some positive thinking never hurt.

The long awaited expansion to World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, is here. We pre-ordered, we swore at the websites that didn’t deliver it on time, we stood in line for hours to buy it, we suffered through the 500-people long server queues… and still we love it.

To celebrate this, we looked for the five coolest World of Warcraft t-shirts around and, while it was quite difficult to decide… here they are.

1. For many months Shattrath has been our home. Our sanctuary. We paid mages to teleport us and warlocks to summon our baby alts in the magical place with a lot of portals. And now we’re moving on… We might feel abandoned for a while, but in a few short levels we’ll find our place in Dalaran. Wear the Home Is Where the Hearthstone Is t-shirt and remember that you never need to feel alone, there’s a friendly innkeeper somewhere awaiting your return.

2. If you don’t know the motto on the Less QQ More Pew Pew t-shirt, you’re a lucky person. It means: a) you’ve never met one of those annoying people who can only talk in WoW-sp33k; b) you’ve never been in a group where people are too busy moaning at the tank/healer/DPS to actually play. But don’t worry; one of them is bound to happen soon. Then again, you might be the annoying player, and then it’s a perfect match.

3. My personal favorite has got to be the Custom World of Warcraft Tabard t-shirt. If you’ve ever wondered how your guild’s tabard would look on you, this is the chance to find out. This t-shirt is fully customizable with your realm, guild, character name, race and class, making it the best for game conventions. As long as you’re not an obnoxious ganker, in which case perhaps you won’t want people to know who you are…

4. Though The Burning Crusade is officially over, the toughest boss needs to be remembered. (The Sunwell Plateau came later and robbed him of the distinction, but do we care?) The Illidan t-shirt features awesome artwork of an awesome character. For TBC lovers!

5. And something for the WotLK fans, of course. The Epic T-shirt of Ganking is an item for the new level 80 cap and comes with awesome stats: 1337 armor (for cloth!), increases in all stats, great socket bonuses and an interesting equip ability… The eternal dilemma: girl or game? It increases chances to evade work by 25%, but also reduces your chances to get laid by 99%.

Bonus: This would’ve made the final five, but it’s outdated. The Locked Chest t-shirt had a very cool concept, back when the maximum lockpicking skill was 375. Requiring 376 points made it impossible to open, but not anymore. All those frustrated rogues are jumping up and down with joy about now. Give us the new version!

When something is called The Last Supper t-shirt, you expect Jesus and the 12 apostles, or at least something parodying the famous painting.

In this case… it’s just a last supper. Mr Ghost’s, to be precise. When you and Pac-Man have been trying to kill each other for years, why would you expect an invitation to the restaurant? That spelled “bad idea” from the start… and that giant while ball on Pac-Man’s plate is even worse news.

Sweating won’t do you no good, Mr. Ghost. The only thing you can do now is run and hope for the best.

Winter is on its way, and you wouldn’t want your head to turn into an icicle. Beanies are not the trendies piece of clothing around… but they can be.

If you’re a geek, at least, in which case “fashion” has a different meaning. The Nintendo Controller Reversible Knit Hat will be the envy of any old-school gamer, but it won’t look silly even to a non-geek. The controller collage is subtle enough not to become kitschy and, better yet, you can even change it when you get bored: the hat is reversible and the back features a sketch design of the NES.

Remeber what you learnt in school? About how the tower of Pisa leaned because of the terrain it was built on and how no one knows what’s the deal with Stonehenge?

No one ever suspected the truth… until now. A pink little devil caused mischief in Italy and England, broke Venus de Milo’s arms, tried to sit on the Parthenon and even messed around with the statues on Easter Island.

But it’s ok, we forgive him because he’s so cute and because the Infamous Mishaps Throughout History t-shirt rocks.

Did you manage to down Illidan before the 3.0.2 patch? Were you one of those people who equipped the Twin Blades of Azzinoth and hung around in front of the bank just so you could enjoy the frantic whispers of “OMG where did you get those?”

Well then you’re the most deserving person to wear a World of Warcraft Illidan t-shirt. Black Temple might not be the hardest raid now, and in a couple of days we’ll get new places to invest time and frustration in, but no one can deny Illidan was the boss to aim for in The Burning Crusade.

Of course, all of us who only saw Illidan in cinematics, YouTube raid videos and maybe the occassional post-nerf raid can get one. Unlike T6 loot, you don’t need DKP for this one, and it’s a nice way to mark the end of an era.

The new World of warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, will be in stores and in the grubby hands of players next week, so I figured it’s the perfect time for more WoW swag.

The Epic T-shirt of Ganking is obviously a Lich King item – it requires level 80 and no life. It’s cloth (100% cotton to be precise), so you mages, locks and priests can stop complaining that you can’t wear the loot that drops. And the stats are impressive: +1337 armor, Duelling, Aggro, Ninja Looting and Farming increases, not to mention the socket bonus of +25 Tea Bagging.

The Equip tooltip might point out a problem, though: it increases chances to evade work by 25%, but also reduces your chances to get laid by 99%.

However, what many people don’t know is that the 1% is so worth it. It means a WoW player of the female persuasion, and a girlfriend who is a real girl OMG and can also kick your ass in a duel is something to hold on to.

If you live in an area where winter is real winter (i.e. cold and snowy), something to keep your ears from freezing is a must, unless you come from a penguin family. But a hats has two disadvantages:
1. You can’t do anything fancy to your hair, because after 10 minutes under the hat it will look awful anyway.
2. You can’t fit your headphones under it.

No combination is ideal: earbuds + hat messes with your hairdo, regular headphones without hat leaves your ears freezing.

Or at least no combination was ideal… The Stereo Toasters are the result of ear warmers mating with earbuds, and boy was it a good idea. Music lovers who just can’t walk out the house without their mp3 players will be delighted to know they don’t need to sacrifice comfort or looks anymore… at least I know I am.

Now why didn’t someone think of this earlier?! A ponytail hat! (Yes, yes, I know, your grandma had one, but this is the first time I’ve seen one, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.)

Officially called the Go-Active Winter Hat, this is a small piece of genius. If you wear your hair in a ponytail, you face 2 options: unsightly bulge under hat (with ears never completely covered) or freezing head, none of which is particularly attractive. One smart design later and the problem is solved! And it’s so obvious you wonder why it wasn’t here way earlier: just like a baseball cap, but warmer. Duh!
