magic mushrooms shirt: mario caught in a shady shroom deal

shroom-deal-1

Listen kids, too much of anything is bad for you. Look at Mario. You think he’s still as healthy as when he was fighting ol’ D-Kong back in ‘81? You all think you’re doing him a favor, feeding him all those stars and flowers and leaves and other inedible but somehow magical power-ups. And don’t get me started about them…

make people sweat i will: yoda dj shirt

dj-yoda-shirt-1

Chunk’s yoda DJ shirt combines one of the most ancient geek icons with one of the geekiest forms of music. Lightsaber rave parties anyone?

Wonder which artists the Jedi Master prefers. I think he’ll have a bit of M83 because he traverses galaxies, a bit of Justice because he’s on the light side, and some RATM for his rebel homies.…

the latest device from aperture science: interactive portal shirt

portal-shirts

I’ve seen a lot of geeky shirts, but these ones take the cake. Or not. Think Geek’s April Fools offering for this year are “interactive portal shirts”, that mimic the portal effect popularized by Valve’s first-person puzzler. Each $100 shirt has a wireless 5.6 GHz video camera and a portal-shaped LCD TFT screen. The camera on the blue shirt transmits…

“a simple plan”: space invaders shirt foils alien plot

space-invaders-shirt

Remember the movie Signs? And how the aliens’ weakness turned out to be water? Tell me, if those beings were intelligent enough to build vessels that could cross such vast distances (and sustain the passengers as well), why the hell couldn’t they tell that the planet that they’re attacking is mostly made up of stuff that will kill them? It…

zombie-hunter-shirt

Do you regularly find yourself playing as Bill, Zoey, Louis or Francis? If so,  you might want to check out SEIBEI’s Intramural Zombie Hunter Shirt, complete with logo and gore.

The shirt is somewhat customizable in that the back can either be “Athletic”, like the one you see above, or carry the slogan “Kill as many zombies and vampires as…

rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock: game of the year on a shirt

rpsls rock paper scissors lizard spock

I’ve always wondered how Paper beats Rock. So what if it covers Rock? That’s not the same as being cut or crushed. Cafepress ups the confusion but in the process has created the Game of the Year, nay, the game of the 23rd century.

Paper disproves Spock. Disproves. Why the hell is Paper so powerful? Notice also that Spock can…

softwear by microsoft: dos not compute

dosthismakemelookcool

Looking to boost their quest for cool “I’m a PC” marketing campaign, Microsoft has launched their own clothing line, which the Redmond giant calls “Softwear”. Yup. If Apple can blind you with their fancy glass screens, why can’t Microsoft sell you shirts? The nonsense in that analogy is my analogy to Microsoft’s nonsense.

Most of the designs are from the…

earth vader: join the green side shirt

iamyourfarmer

This cool Darth Vader shirt from Junk Food Clothing features the Sith Lord’s helmet , which is drawn using tiny depictions of animals and landscapes, plus a caption written in Star Wars font that says, “JOIN THE GREEN SIDE!”. I made it sound like the drawing sucks but it doesn’t. It’s cool. It’s awesome. It’s way better than having Vader’s…

gamer shirts: cheaper than games, better than plain shirts

Video Game T-Shirt Xbox RROD

Owen Good over at the big K has a great idea: if you’re looking for a gift for your gamer-friends but you find that actual video games are too pricey, get them these wonderful yet cheap shirts instead. For instance, the RRoD shirt, pictured below, is just $19. The one after that, the Bioshocker, is just $18 – $20 depending on…

pac-man cufflinks perfect for any black tie affair

Pac-Man Cufflinks By Sarah Lynne Designs

I just got invited to a formal wedding this Fall, and have been stymied as to what I would wear since it’s been about 15 years since I had to wear a tuxedo to anything. While I still might have to rent a tux and bow tie, at least I know what I’ll be wearing on my sleeves.

How could…

rhombus dress shirt hides binary code

Rhombus Binary Shirt

At first glance this just looks like a nice, stylish button-down dress shirt. But upon further examination, you’ll notice that its shading isn’t just some sort of abstract pattern. It’s actually comprised of tens of thousands of little 0’s and 1’s.

Rhombus’ James and Boris dress shirts are just perfect for the computer geek with fashion sense (although I’m not…

evolution of man t-shirt is stuck in the 80s

Insert Coin Evolution of Man T-Shirt

If you think that mankind continues to evolve, perhaps you’re wrong. According to this clever video game T-shirt, we all stopped evolving somewhere back in the mid-1980s, parked in front of a Missile Command cabinet.

Depicting the gradual metamophosis from ape to human to arcade addict, this shirt doesn’t take into account the gradual decline from the upright position of Homo…

pixel t-shirts bring back atari 2600 memories

8-bit t-shirts by Stuart Witts

These great 8-bit inspired t-shirts remind me of the wonderful simplicity and joy of the early days of video gaming.

Designed by Stuart Witts, the shirts feature big, bold, blocky images of either a pair of black and white race cars or a bright green soccer player. While they’re not based directly on any specific retro games, they really take…

mario question mark t-shirt: i’d hit that!

Nintendo I’d Hit That T-shirt

Sure, that Legend of Zelda quilt was pretty nifty, but this has got to be the best Nintendo-inspired item I’ve seen this week.

The t-shirt just shows the ubiquitous pixelated question mark block from the Super Mario games, along with the caption “I’d hit that!”. A word of caution: once you do hit that, you don’t know if gold coins,…

the real puffy shirt

USB Air Conditioned Shirt

Here’s a fun one that must have slipped past my radar screen when it hit the circuit last year. This USB-powered clothing is designed to keep you cool on those warm Summer days.

As long as you don’t mind looking like a complete fool, the air conditioned shirt plugs into your computer and blows air onto your sweaty body, keeping…
