I don’t really know how it happened, but all of a sudden I seem to be rather impressed by ThinkGeek, I know that the tees aren’t necessarily the cutting edge of fashion, but I like to see people trying something different, and there melding of t-shirts and technology is producing some really interesting results.

Now, strictly speaking, the game being played on the front of this t-shirt isn’t pong, it is a ‘retro table tennis’ game, I just happen to have misspelled ‘retro table tennis’ in my post title and can’t be bothered to change it to something less copyright infringing. For those wondering, the animated decal on the front can apparently be removed very easily (as can its battery pack) for when you need to wash the shirt after your sweaty late-night gaming sessions.

These tees are pretty much perfect for valentines, if I wasn’t desperately lonely (…sigh) I’d pick up a couple right now. ThinkGeek do have a penchant for putting tech into tees and making designs that raise a smile, and this is no exception. If the gif above doesn’t make it clear, as the two wearers get closer to each other the amount of hearts lit up on the tee increases, so if you’re quite far away nothing lights up, but if you’re within a couple of metres then they’ll all light up, because you’re with the one you love. I love it, I’m actually smiling as I write this because its so sweet.If you suffer from ‘Andy syndrome’ (devilishly good-looking yet inexplicably single) then you do have an option too, buying a separate transmitter pack ($11.99) that you can place anywhere, which means that you can get the same effect with just one of the tees. I’m sure you could do something incredibly romantic with technology like that, so, people with more balls me, go for it!
