It's that time of year again when you come to me, your Chic Geek, for picks on the most geek-tastic holiday gifts for your nerd-bro pal, nerd boyfriend or nerd boy toy. Check out my holiday gift list below.
Batman Arkham City Controller -- He already has Arkham City, the hottest video game of the year. But does he have this controller shaped like a freaking Batarang??
Angry Birds speakers -- Guys and girls love Angry Birds, and the folks at ThinkGeek have given them reason to make high-pitched bird noises with these cute speakers. Perfect for listening to Pink Floyd's "Pigs." Get it??
Wye Oak, Civilian, Bon Iver, Black Keys, El Camino -- If he's an indie music fan, go for three of the best albums of 2011.
Kindle Fire -- Amazon's answer to the iPad is getting great reviews and is the must-have holiday gift.
Batman Bioworld t-shirt -- Another Arkham City gift, this time in the form of a stylish t-shirt depicting Catwoman and Batman getting cozy.
Game of Thrones Box set -- If he's into the amazing Game of Thrones TV show, he'll want to start reading one of the best fantasy series of all time. And even if he has them already, this set will look great all together on his shelf.
The Rocketeer 20th Anniversary Blu-ray -- Why get him the Captain America Blu-ray that his aunt will no doubt get him when you can opt for the underrated comic book film from the same director in a fancy new Blu-ray.
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim -- If you've spent even five minutes on the Internet, chances are you've heard about this acclaimed fantasy game.
Minecraft hoodie -- Keep him warm this winter in a stylish Minecraft hoodie.
Tintin graphic novels -- If your guy is seeing The Adventures of Tintin, he'll probably want to check out the amazingly fun comics. Grab this collection, which features two books adapted by Spielberg for the movie.
So what are you getting your guy this year?
I got my man the complete Stanley Kubrick collection, Versace's Por Homme cologne, and Wilco's Sky Blue Sky in vinyl.
