-Purpose of Thread-
This thread will be used for posting limited-time availability custom video game inspired shirts (that was a mouthful). There are a lot of websites that sell video game inspired tshirts, but this thread will only be used to alert CAGs to shirts that are available for a limited time and/or at a special price.

Please post a link to whatever video game shirt you come across and include the game that inspired it (like "Mario"), the price if it isn't indicated in the website description below, and if possible a pic of the shirt (use spoiler for the pic to speed up page loading time).

Visit teemagnet.com for tracking the shirt of the day across multiple websites.

-Sizing Info-

Some people like to get shirts from online stores one size larger than the shirts they normally buy (like if you usually wear medium, buy large) since they can shrink a bit after the first wash. Unfortunately it's hard to come up with a general rule as sites seem to change shirt brands at any time.

Always look at the site's sizing chart before making a purchase. It may even give you a hint if you should buy one size larger than normal. If in doubt, I go one size bigger and shrink as necessary. Imho a slightly bigger shirt looks better than wearing a slightly small one.

Sent a message to ShirtPunch about the status of my order. This was their response which I think was satisfactory:

I must apologize. Normally it takes us 3-7 days to get the shirts back from our printers and then an additional day to get them into the mail. Unfortunately, ShirtPunch has picked up a lot of media attention, which in turn has increased demand dramatically. It’s not the worst problem to have, but a problem none the less.
Due to this overwhelming demand we’re running at about 8-12 days to have the shirts printed. We’ve literally gone through two different print companies and are now partnered with one of Canada’s largest printers who are turning out the shirts and getting caught up very quickly. We just didn’t expect this type of media exposure with various celebrities and we went from selling hundreds to thousands overnight.
All that being said, the last thing I want to do is provide anyone a shirt that arrived really quickly, with sub-par quality. Above anything and everything else, quality is our number one priority.
I completely understand how frustrating this is on your end. Our competition have been in the market for a few years now and they’ve got all their kinks worked out, but they’ve also set a pretty steep standard. We’ll get there very soon, we just need to work out a few kinks on our end.
The good news is that your shirt is well on its way to you! Canada Post is slower then the average mail system, but your shirt will arrive. Furthermore, we’re in the business of retaining customers, not just having one time purchases. If you’re unhappy with your order or with the delay just let us know and we’ll fix this problem right away!
Again, I really apologize for the delay. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at (Russ direct email) should you need anything.

[quote name='Romeo']Why oh why do members not use spoiler tags for quoted images?![/QUOTE]

I'm siding with Romeo here on this one. This just causes unneeded clutter and scrolling.

And yes I have used the spoiler tag before in this thread when quoting someone whom has posted an image, and I have even used the spoiler tag to post OC to this thread if it doesn't have a clear direct connection to a video-gaming franchise or other specific link to gaming culture (such as when I made a few posts about the 8-inch floppy disks shirt that is currently on woot that I felt was so awesome I had to share, but it is not specifically related to gaming, so I spoilered it).

Seriously you need to argue this?

No one needs to see the same t-shirt five times on a page.

It's more work to add a spoiler tag than it is for you to scroll your mouse wheel down once more. Deal with it? It's not like they're even very big.

And for the record, my settings are set to 50 per page, and I haven't seen an image on any page more than three times. Exaggerate much? People just love to find something to complain about.

Oh hi.

Here's a heads up for tomorrow's Shirt Punch video game tee.[/QUOTE]

I'm going to have to get this one! This will be my first ShirtPunch purchase...must remember!!!
 
I was also coming on to comment that I had received my first shirt from shirtpunch. I believe I also ordered 2/16 (on my iPhone now and too lazy to check) and I got it a day or two ago, so it too just under a month. That said, the material feels quite nice (maybe slightly heavy), the print is large and beautiful, and the sizing looks great for me (2XL and it's a bit bigger than a woot 2X which are just slightly more snugg than I usually like, though not small enough to make me want to upsize).

I haven't actually worn it yet, this is just what I've seen out of the package. Took a while, but I feel it was worth the wait.

I find it odd that I never got a shipping email from shirtpunch like I usually expect from just about anything I order online. Also, I ordered a shirt from them about three days after I ordered this one if I remember correctly. Lets see if I get it within the next day or two.
 
^ I liked it a lot at first. but the mushroom not being green got to me. Yeah yeah, then it wouldn't mesh with the blue background, but 1up mushroom has got to be green, man. :p
 
I ordered that Gordon's Crab Shack one yesterday. I seen it, and after having a good minute or so at laughing at it, I knew I needed to buy it.
 
I almost insta-bought today's woot shirt, but then I realized it was a LOTR reference on top of the Zelda reference. So no thanks. But if it showed up in a batch of random shirts from woot in a couple months, I wouldn't complain.
