Yeah, boyee! Sure, you can remember what it was like back in the day, but can you remember where the other half of that pair of fat-laced Puma Easy Riders was? Pair-o-deez combines the classic card-flipping memory game that you played against the mushroom in Super Mario Bros. 3 with old school and exclusive kicks courtesy of those mad lads at Cool Hunting.

Nerdseum: Deep in the basement of geek lore, before there was Counterstrike or even Asteroids, there was tabletop war gaming with lead miniatures painted up to look like tiny, blotchy armies doing battle among model train trees and small rocks. Vintage20Mil preserves lots of photos of miniatures from the 1960s crucible of U.K. war gaming—an era when modern miniatures were developing from toy soldiers. People designed and manufactured them in their garages and basements—this was indie before there was indie. It’s history at www.intonet.co.uk/%7Erblack/.
