I think the livejournal one is a legit phrase thing though. like it's internet humor but almost every social network has some dumb CURRENT MOOD thing, so anyone can get it. and if you're looking for a shirt someone who is not online ever will get you'd never buy a shirt online anyway.

i think all shirts with LOL HILARIOUS PHRASES on them are really, really, really dumb tbh

also the problem with the backflippe one is that it looks like GENERIC SPORTS SHIRT.  it could be a nike shirt or some shit and i'd have no idea

he does eat a pinecone.

I never said it'd be good but lets face it HEAD "FASHIST" PHONICS isn't the demographic here and neither is steel "wow three shirts for ten bucks!" paladine! a few gw members would wear slogan shirts, and hell a few of our peers probably do if we don't. the key is to shift the wheat ("VOTE FOR CHANGE") from the chaff (*picture of shit crossed out, and a british detective staring at it GET IT NO SHIT SHERLOCK*)

btw the problem that maybe some people mentioned but maybe not is that normal non-internet people cannot differentiate between internet people.  sa, gw, 4chan, and any other type of internet humor is basically just lumped together as IDK ITS ABOUT THE INTERNET.  so wearing a shirt with a statement about kissing internet dads is essentially the same thing as wearing an ALL YOUR BASE t-shirt, because most people you meet in your daily life cannot distinguish between these two types of internet humor.  no one here would be caught dead wearing an all your base shirt (i hope) sooooo yeah.  it just looks like you are making <random gay internet reference> and that is awful.


where can i buy an 'all your base' t?

i would be caught dead in one... i would also be caught LIVING in one- EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!!!  :fogetangry:

Awesome. I still love "Just ate a pine cone" and "I use Qs insteqd of Qs." I dunno why, I just do.

Hmm, I've got a lot of responses to cover, I wasn't asleep that long...

ase:
Sadly from what the shop overview shows we've had about 13 orders TOTAL, this could be wrong mind you but for each order the average expense ranged from about $25 to $40.

Generallly speaking, I wear the Pinecone shirt and Qs shirt in public a LOT, people find it funny, clever because it's different, etc.
I'm not just talking about your regular nerds either, people stop to read it and then scratch their head in confusion followed by a "I don't really get it but it's making me laugh".

Also I agree, I would lean more toward a semper games shirt because it's not as 'inside' as some of the others (despite the fact that it still is), it's one of those shirts similar to Pinecone or Qs that would make people stop and scratch their head for a second because it doesn't make sense, but still like it anyway.


Steel:
You can have a semper games shirt without it being like we're selling out.


Rowain:
There aren't any Polos unfortunately, they are mostly just summer-wear like what you already see, or there's also hoodies, shoulder bags, tank tops, mouse pads, etc. available.
We don't necessarily have to sell just shirts, I'm willing to expand onto other items as well...


Farmrush:
Keep SHUT UP AND JAM, but to avoid it being a barkley reference and to make the shirt actually funny it could have a picture of someone trying to force paper into a printer while it's beeping or something, obviously that's just some ALPHA LIMITED IDEA but it made me chuckle.


Dulcinea:
Oh man I'm not going to get into that story, that phrase is a part of Australian History almost, movie made about it and everything (I'm not kidding).

I have awful dress sense but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't wear any of these shirts!

Or rather I would wear em for definite if I already owned em somehow but I wouldn't buy em ever

edit: what i'm trying to say is fuck your shirts, get outa my face

look lemme wax INTERNET for a bit; the whole appeal of the semper games thing is it's a stupid internet meme that like no one knows about that is actually kind of funny. putting it on a shirt is like tay zonday trying to sell chocolate rain t-shirts; it's dumb and gross and becomes some stupid 4chan shit. it's removing what made semper games such an exceptional phrase to begin with; the context of this crazy guy ranting about games, ending with fake latin. no one WANTS this on a shirt, is the point. like, no one involved I'm sure and none of the real fans.

almost had a semicolon every sentence.

Point taken...

SO THEN, let's get brainstorming huh?
I'm going to work for the next few hours so I'll get more "into it" when I get back.

honestly i kind of want to make a bunch of dumb anti shirts that aren't even gw related or necessarily funny because i thought of:

IF YOU DONT WANT TO FUCK TO DREAM THEATER YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO FUCK.

Actually, I wouldn't wear a shirt that references GW at all. Ever. I'd rather not have my friends see some of the crap I post. :D
That said though, some of these designs are pretty cool so I might just buy one. Hm. You think there'll be a certain...shirt + premium membership dealio in the future...? *hint hint*

the problem with any text on a t-shirt though is that it's on you all day long

I'd wear some of these like Q's and backflippe and pinecone, mainly the things that either have cool designs with little to no text, or things that even if they are internet related don't really rely on some inside joke

fill the entire shirt with gibberish like how badass my game is and how cloud could pwn tidus and that there should be a game where samus and mastercheif fall in love and somehow metal sonic is involved and dont forget to mention that this shirt is really really cool idea and better than all the other shirts just like it and use the word and alot and no punctuation and no capital letterz and throw in some letter z instead of s yeah that is a wicked idea for a shirt i would buy that but maybe not for the amout youre asking because all your shirts use stolen ideas and i will report you to the pwn police unless you give me a better price and they will rape you and your dog and your mother by the way this shirt is the best place to find wow gold ok thank you in advance bye!!!!!!!!!!
