lordhathor Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 well, I post a lot of information and important news about a bit o' the underground society, and some stuff about the government; mostly serious stuff. I thought today, I might go with a story about something a little more "on-the-light-side". This is sort of an advertisement, but not to worry, I'm not a sellout.... because I'm not getting paid. :P This is just a few websites I've put together that have what I think are the best T-shirts (and other things, such as bumper-stickers) for the average hacker/gamer/geek; and don't deny it... all of you are at least one of those. :P The first site I'd like to mention is called "Jinx" http://www.jinx.com I heard about this site first, on an episode of Systm (a great source for hacker, gamer, and modder info. google it.) Jinx is basicaly just a geekwear company. It's got things such as the silicone "GEEK" bracelet, the "owned dog" dog-shirt. and one of my favorites, the "n00bl3t" infant t-shirt. Also, for you runescapers who are proud of your geekyness, there are tees that say "NPC", "PWN", one with a nice graphic that says "I eat noobs" over a godzilla like thing, one that says "y cant ppl settle for not black? i mean mix it up i mean sure u gota love black shirts 3/4 my stuff is but a little color is good 2 u kno o course there could be an option for all the GOTHS out there j!nx dont discriminate" and so on, in a neverending list of hilarious geekwear. Possibly the best part about this particular site, is that not only are the prices cheap as hell to begin with, but if you enter the code "systm3". you get either 5%, or 15% off (I forget). I currently have the dog tee, the infant tee, and a few that have noob on them on order. Got 'em all hella cheap. :P I strongly suggest you check this site out. Here are some images of the products I mentioned above: "Put this canine cozy on your pup and let them know who's boss! Yeah, sure, you destroy them in every console fighter you play (due to the lack of opposable thumbs). You consistently crush them 10 frags to nada in your favorite FPS. But don't forget, you also actually own them. Now THAT is pure ownage." "Mommy? Where do noobs come from? The lifecycle of a noob is a complex, beautiful miracle. Fledgling noobs gestate inside small, biometric pods through a series of complicated photosynthetic processes. Once a budding noob has matured through gestation, they climb out of their pod, sit down at a PC, ask a bunch of questions that are clearly in the FAQ, and voila! The Nooblet is born!" "You know that guy that gets so good at games that no one wants to play with him anymore? That's the pownstar. However, trash-talking eminates from players of virtually every skill level. Never let your n00bish tendencies stop you from running your mouth. Sometimes intimidation gives you the small advantage you need to take out Johnny Wins-a-lot." "This shirt may confuse RPG fanatics between their gaming life and RL. Furthermore, it may prompt them to ask you which quests you have to offer. Simply respond by telling them they have not met the level requirements. If that does not send them on their way, tell them their princess is in another castle. Warning: Side effects of wearing this shirt may include a glowing, yellow exclamation point appearing over your head." "This silicone bracelet is a safe and painless replacement for our last idea that didn't go over so hot: The "Geek" branding iron." "It's something you were trained to be proud of as mini humans. Why abandon that pride? You "made", good for you! Now, the kind, sanitary folks at J!NX are giving you a way to express your wonderful accomplishment under the clever guise of a popular music trend." The second site is the ultimate in geek jewelery. It's called "ELSEWARES" http://www.elsewares.com/commerce/index.php?cPath=2_191 This isn't entirely for men, to say the least, but there is some great dude-wear there too. The basis of this company is that the jewelery is made entirely out of computer parts. The diode bracelet, the capacitor necklace, and the Cat5 choker just to name a few. This is also home to such ingenius works of "art" as the hex-ferrite bracelet, and the IDE belt (as in a belt you would hold up your pants with, made from IDE cable). This is a great place to get your geek jerelery needs filled. Here are some images to go along with the aforementioned products. Another site I'd like to mention is another T-shirt company. It's called "Busted Tees" http://www.bustedtees.com/ To put it simply (and to copy their slogan), these are "Jokes you can wear". There are far far too many hilarious shirts for me to choose a few to mention specifically, but I'll do so anyway. There are great worn works of art, such as... , and ingdogs] (Click images, to see their pages on the site) This doesn't come close to showing even the best ones, but I strongly suggest you have a look. The last page I want to mention is called "Landover Baptist Store" http://www.cafepress.com/landoverbaptist/52680 This is a bumpersticker store. The prices are very good, and the bumperstickers are [bleep]ing hilarious. Here are a few examples. (Click images to be taken to that bumperstickers' page) freakin hilarious. All the bumperstickers there come in either magnetic or sticky, and can come in different sizes. they are high-quality vinyl, and very well made. Anyway, those are "Thor's Picks". If you're interested, check 'em out! :P [mod edit - removed the inappropriate images. Keep it clean please. - Phil] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjlhdevil Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I hate products like these, they arn't funny. Wow you wear a t shirt saying pwned, 9/10s of the people not gonna know what you on about, and well I think they're pretty sad to say the least.

lordhathor Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 And you're entitled to that opinion, but I disagree. even if nobody else thinks they're funny, I'll crack up every time I look in the mirror. :P Difference of opinion though. That's fine. :) Not everyone has to think the way I do. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs_shark_fan_died Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 i for one loved the jinx site :) Gonna pull in an order toghether with my m8s and then well all "pwn" :) Thx 4 sharing this 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 i find the t shirt things funny, but im not to big a fan of the jewelry made out of computer stuff :lol: EDIT: just saw you mentioned systm, and id thought id point that out because a lot of people here probably would want to watch it. currently it features the last of the old techtv people, but they are trying to get a whole new channel that will feature all the old tech tv favorites. so far they got a show called systm, and then there was an older show called the broken, and they also have one called diggnation. this is where you can download the episodes, and dont forget to keep your bit torrent open after you get it :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_the_Viscous Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 What cjlhdevil said about the type that 9/10 people would get stands: it's no fun if people actually understand it. The ones that actually require some sort of knowledge, I don't have a problem with. This one, from Thinkgeek.com, for example: front back ...as I say, I don't have a problem with that sort of thing, as I'm pretty sure that most people wouldn't get it. Also, I don't mind those ones that take something that people would get, but do it in a nice looking way. I can't show an example of that, however, because, though I'm sure they exist, I can't be bothered looking. So anyway, look at ThinkGeek for a lot of so-so ones, interspersed with some good ones. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I don't like this for the main reason that a dog already has a fur coat, way to make man's best friend look stupid and roast like a turkey. Apart from the description being mildly amusing, I find this another waste of money, it has a word on it... Oh my. I'm going to try and be as nice as I can. I find this T-Shirt extremely Meterosexual, more on the Homosexual side though. The whole P*n Star thing has been overused, plus it's just plain girly. Particularly in the navy colour it looks like a bad rip off of a police officer's leisure t-shirt. 3 letters on a T-Shirt is NOT funny. [sarcasm]Oh great another word on one of these stupid silicone bracelets, how absolutely original and hilarious.[/sarcasm] I must admit this one did make me smirk, I'm a little immature... out of 10 I'd give it a 6 for humour. Obviously made for females, and honestly what girl/woman would want to wear a necklace made of capacitors. Every woman I've known would laugh their head off at something like this. In theory an electrician or someone in a similar profession could buy one for their girlfriend as a fun gesture, but then they'd expect a gold or silver one at a later date. Yeah pretty much everything I said above goes for this too... And again. Although still applying to what I said above, I do like the multi-coloured effect, although I do hope they remove the actual wire from the cat5 cables. Trust me these aren't exactly flimsy, it takes ages to and 2 very sore fingers to get these wires straight so that I can put a plug on the end. This is a pretty good idea apart from the fact that an IDE cable would be too wide to fit in the belt loops of most jeans/trousers. So technically if I was a mega-geek and wanted an IDE belt I'd be extremely dissapointed. To answer the t-shirt, he'd not hanglide. Okay I agree with this one but it's plainly not funny. I'd rather not. [sarcasm]I'm sure the vegetarians and vegans on tip.it would find this hilarious.[/sarcasm] Whatever the last one was, it's been censored. So it probably wasn't appropriate for younger eyes anyway. Heh. Why bother with the last one, Phil already beat me to it. Notoriously Trollish.

Bubsa Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Oh God, that idiot Ruzbeh's back... mah fayverit. :P lol I don't think many of them are funny, but that one's good I have to admit :P This is how much you all raised for charity.

OH TEH NOES! I was giving an argument for the sake that I'm not as pathetic as you. I gave a reason for everything I seen and didn't like. I even was amused by one of them and admitted it.

____ Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 yeah, okay, you don't like 'em. Nobody cares. Just because you haven't grown a sense of humor doens't mean we can't enjoy them. Sheddup.I have a sense of humor, I just don't share yours. The only shirt posted so far I don't really have a problem is this one.. Since it doesn't exactly take a computer genius to work out what the hell you're talking about. Might be a bit ":-?" with the end. But most people should be able to figure it out. As for the rest, I pretty much agree with Chris for the most part. Not quite to the same extent but fairly close for most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic-is-overrated Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I love the word noob and to me seeing it on shirts is pretty funny. This is the way the world ends. Look at this [bleep]ing shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knives669 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Lol. I liked the shirts. The bracelets (especially the "Geek") one were kinda stupid. I have a shirt that says in big letters, "RPD" and then below it in smaller letters it says, "Raccoon City Police Department". No one gets it except for my friends who play video games. But, I don't care. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
