Holiday gift ideas for the game culture snob - Houston weather, traffic, news | FOX 26 | MyFoxHouston

It's a video game store, but it doesn't sell games.  What gives?

Insomnia Video Game Culture and Vinyl Toys caters to the consumer more preoccupied by swag than game.

Store owner Chris Unclebach shared with me some holiday gift ideas that you might find pretty darn cool:

== VIDEO GAME STUFF ==

"Minecraft Creeper 6" vinyl figure: "Everyone who has played this game has a love/hate relationship with the creepers! Really cool piece perfectly marries the two concepts of of video game items and vinyl toys! Retails for $29.99"
