What are some other cool video game shirts. I've got a serious gamer buddy's bday to consider soon...

There was this sick Zelda shirt i saw in one of the major vid mags a few months ago but you could only buy it off of a japanese website...
 
i found this quote from the designer that gives a little more "backstory" about his art...

submission for the 5+5+5 competition.
True story:
In 1976, Cosmonaut Nikolai Peckmann was sent alone to an orbiting space station for what would be called Mission Six- to study the radiation levels and strange circumstances that killed all four crewmen of the last research mission.
By the third day, Peckmann's broken transmissions were coming back to ground control filled with increasing paranoia and delusion. He claimed that the spirits of the dead cosmonauts were coming to claim him, and that he had to keep moving to evade them. He shouted that if he could capture consume these spirits himself while he still had strength, he could move to the next level of consciousness...Truly the rantings of an insane man.
Indeed, video recovered later would show Peckmann running around the confined but maze-like station, downing emergency sedatives like a madman....pausing in a corner momentarily, only to throw back vitamin pills and give chase to his invisible demons.
He had exhausted the entire cargo of vitamins, pills, and fresh fruit well ahead of schedule. There was no way another crew could be assembled to rescue him before he starved. After one rather violently garbled transmission, the static cleared and the last live image on record is that of Peckmann's empty, wilted spacesuit on the cabin floor.
It was determined that another mission to recover any remains or gather any more research would be a waste of the people's money, and the station was allowed to drift out of orbit and into space- a failure never to be mentioned again. It was ordered and assumed that all video and paper evidence had been destroyed.

..then, at the dawn of the eighties, a fledgling arcade game company called NAMCO would stumble across the transcripts of these events, and the rest -as they say- is history.

okay i just made all that crap up, but with or without a story, I hope it's a cool design.
 
[quote name='bmachine']That's awesome...I might need that.

This one's pretty excellent, as well...too bad it's orange.[/quote]

Thats funny because I have like 3 orange shirts lol.
 
I don't want to sound like an elitist asshole or anything, but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing any of those shirts. Maybe when I AM dead, someone can put one on me, but still....

Yeah, all of these are shit.

They're funny, but don't really work as shirts. If I ever saw someone wearing these, I'd laugh at the shirt, then at them for wearing it.
 
I can appreciate difference of opinion and so forth, but how can anyone not like that "Video Games Ruined My Life" or "Spoilt" shirt? The Pac Man and Reservoir Dog shirts may be more of an acquired taste, but those two are classics.
