Picture this (unless you’re female, in which case, just go with it): You’re in a club, socializing with all the fine ladies. You’re staking out which of the beautiful women you want to approach. You decide to pull a Nathan Drake and half-tuck your shirt to accentuate your washboard abs. The club lights hit your belt buckle with a miraculous glint that only a total sex magnet could produce. Instantly, all eyes are on you.

You are a god. You’ve mesmerized the ladies with your stellar fashion sense; your machismo is through the roof, because there is nothing that says, “Hey baby, I’m a fiend,” like a video game inspired belt buckle.

O.K., I kid. This type of situation would never happen. I would know, I have a NES controller belt buckle, and that situation has never happened to me.

Then again, these homemade, handcrafted retro belt buckles are infinitely cooler then my current one. The buckles are made by Natalie Hutcheson (her hacker alias is HutchMe) and can be purchased on her Etsy online shop for a measly $18 plus shipping.

I think I might buy one. My girlfriend is going to be jealous, because the ladies are going to be flocking toward my new buckle, if you know what I mean. And you do.
