I’ve still got a NES stowed away somewhere underneath our staircase, and when I pulled it out a couple of years ago it actually worked. Can you imagine any game console made now still working twenty years from now? Hell, my Xbox 360 had to be replaced after seven months!
This tee represents more pun-based-fun from the KosherHam gang. Actually, is it a pun? I guess that if you were to just turn up somewhere where you were actually going to play games then it would actually just be a t-shirt with a fact on it. I like it though, its a little bit nerdy, but not too much, everyone from my generation would be able to recognise the controller (even though its lacking in certain copyright infringing details), and its a bit retro, but its not really ramming it down your throat. I think the fact that the sample I received is a girls sized tee probably makes me like it a bit more too, since I’m kinda into geek girls, come to think of it, I’m into pretty much any kind of girl… hurray for equality!
Just like with previous KosherHam reviews, I’m happy to give this tee the thumbs up in terms of quality as well. The printing is sharp, bold, and completely lacking in imperfections, it doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to solid colour printing like this. The stock tee is once again courtesy of American Apparel, so I guess you’ll know what you’re in for in terms of fit, even if AAs sizing does seem to differ a little a bit from piece-to-piece.Costiness=$19.95 Tee Link

Now, isn’t that a pretty picture?

 

Cool design, homemade silk print (so don’t expect a costiness/link at the bottom), and a cool log exposure photo to go with it, how could you want anything more? I’m sure I recognise the style of the face on the pyramid from somewhere, I get the feeling it might be some kind of Japanese character, if you’ve got any idea just drop a comment please.Photo credits: taklu4she & herbhrb

Like a lot of people across the globe I picked up a copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 last week, although I didn’t wait outside a shop at midnight, I just went to a supermarket on Friday (violent video games and a wide selection of fresh fruit and veg? Thanks Tesco!). The detail-level in the game is pretty amazing, Karl Lagerfeld even has his own radio station(!), and the in-game clothing is no exception. Hypebeast noticed (or at least reported on first) that the most hyped hoodie ever… ever, Dead Serious by LRG is being worn by people in Liberty City. I don’t know if Nico Bellic (your character) can buy and wear the hoodie, but I don’t think its really his style anyway.

If you don’t think that a t-shirt consisting of video game control pads (with the notable absence of the Playstation clan) is awesome then I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself. Seriously dude, you used to be cool.Costiness=€16 Link

There’s a lot of apparel out there for gamers, but most of it doesn’t cut the mustard for me, usually they’re built upon solid concepts, but they can be somewhat lacking in the design department. Fortunately, Split Reason don’t suffer from that particular problem. I guess that purists would probably have a bit of a whine about the Pacman and the ghost being too big to fit into the maze, but I’m sure that was just done for reasons of practicality.
