The 8-Bit Hanger is slowly bringing back my obsession with old school video games. It wasn't too long ago that all I ever wanted was to get home from school and fire up my NES for a marathon session of Duck Hunt or Jaws III. Homework be damned.
The 8-Bit Hanger is the ultimate geek statement. You can have nerd tees in your closet and video game posters on your wall, but an 8-Bit Hanger is the ultimate indicator of an HxC nerd...or a future/current 40-year-old virgin. Nostalgia for the win this time, and every time.
