By Amanda If you enjoy getting mail as much as I do, you need to subscribe to Loot Crate. Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box designed specifically for geeks. The crates primarily consist of toys, small household items, and t-shirts, and usually the contents of the box would cost way more separate than in the neatly-crafted package the Loot Crate team has designed. While you’ll probably want to keep most of the gear for yourself, if you don’t like an item, you can always use it as a stocking stuffer or other holiday gift. Also, the boxes can be used for creating your own crates on birthdays, anniversaries, or other events. What was in this month’s box? If you’re hesitant to spend nearly $20 on goods you’re not even sure about, I suggest waiting until Loot Crate announces a theme. If you generally like the fandoms associated with that theme, then get the box. Usually, the themes I have been excited for have been the boxes that I was the most pleased with; themes I’m less excited for, I usually like less. And customer service at Loot Crate is outstanding, so if you ever have a broken or missing item, want to change your subscriptions, or other issues, they get back to your emails in no time. Sign up for Loot Crate here. By Amanda As I recently moved from a coastal state to the middle of the country, I have been missing the summer heat and proximity to the beach. Since I am missing bathing suits and sunscreen, here are some suits I’m coveting. All images link to the website where you can purchase them—or just stare at good looking people in bathing suits. If you’re a female, Black Milk Clothing is the top of the line for quality geek girl gear. They release collections spanning different fandoms, which makes our hearts happy, even if our wallets don’t agree. Ever since I saw their R2-D2 dress, I’ve been a fan. This is one of my many favorites of theirs partially because I don’t like wearing characters’ faces over my torso—the eyes tend to be inconveniently placed. I remember when the Power Rangers first aired on television. If that doesn’t tell you something about my age, it should at least explain my extreme nostalgia for the show. I had action figures, I had VCR tapes, and now I wish that I had this cute set to become the Pink Ranger—at least if she were on vacation. (At this time, the pieces are currently out of stock at Hot Topic, and I’m sobbing.) Not to leave the guys out, Super Hero Stuff has a collection of board shorts in various super hero, Star Wars, and comic book page designs. Pick from your favorites or outfit the whole family. Avengers or JLA anyone? Everyone here at Controllers and Capes is a Harry Potter fan. Our first midnight releases weren’t movies or games, but book premieres where we may or may not have been dressed up as our favorite Gryffindors or Slytherins. Now we can dress up in gear from the houses we were sorted into thanks to Black Milk Clothing (I’m personally a Ravenclaw, but they also have Slytherin and Hufflepuff suits). Lately, we’ve been crazy about the Marvel movies, and who hasn’t?! The Captain America sequel was a fast-paced game changer, and we can’t wait to see what happens to the Avengers now that Shield has been dismantled. Will Cap take up the reins as he does in the comics? Until the next installment, we’ll just have to settle for dressing up like him.
