Sorry this took so long? Anyway.

an f13 shirt (of which there will be one a month) [limited to 50]:

And some other stuff.

By the way, that's the shirt on me, it's creased because I just put it on, haven't washed it, but I'm not too worried. Remember, wash this shit inside out, though the design will lend well to any fading.

I got one of the mousepads in also. It's one of those shitty foam mousepads. But I'll tell you, it's f'ing awesome. Or rather, the picture on it is. I might get it framed for lulz.

Other items for January:

*GASP*  Baby bib! 

Finally.

Fucking white mouse pads.

again

didn't have the option

But the T is great.

I might pickup the polo later to wear at work.

Just because I can.

Items will get cycled once a month, near the end.

except next month, a special shirt will be added.

Apparently you have figured out how to milk us.




I salute you.

Next month will be a shirt that is not black or white or pink or bright yellow, yes?   :grin:

This months main shirt isn't white.

It looks light enough that it'll have obvious sweat stains after one summer.  That's what I mean by "white".

I suppose I could get one and tie-dye it, though.  That's what I try to do with my white trade show shirts.

My sweat doesn't stain.

I wouldn't know about sweat stains.

I'll do a non-black darker shirt next month.

Jerk!

Just wash the shirt more than once a month and you should be ok on stains.

Samwise is a bay hippy. He's never even heard of a washing machine.

Hippy isn't in the firefox dictionary.

The only one I would consider doesn't come in 'heroically proportioned'. Alas, I will have to wait until next month.

It's possible to get sweat stains out with lots of chemicals and scrubbing, but for the amount of effort that takes I might as well dye the shirt a different color.  White shirts are just not meant for people that start sweating profusely at 70 degrees.  Neither are black shirts, but for entirely different reasons.

What?  No mug?   :ye_gods:

He finally puts up shirts the month I have no cash. Tuition + books + car insurance = :uhrr:

Also Signe, your avatars never cease to arouse amuse me.

Can we get one with the Bat Country EVE corp logo?  :evil:

(http://f13.7mph.com/img/corps/51.jpg)

PS: Can I get a coupon?

VIIN HAS AN IDEA. Watch for new thread. Coming in minutes.

I want  :awesome_for_real: on a shirt. Fucking.. worst tease ever.

The bib is win.

Good colours for the lighter-coloured shirts that aren't white:

Sand

Khaki

The darker ones of course, should be black.

I have enough black t-shirts already. no more black ever

You can never have too many black t-shirts.

A mug is a must. Can never have too many mugs either.

True. I would definately buy a  :awesome_for_real: mug if they were good ones. Possibly two.

A sort of matching set of six mugs would be crazy awesome, for real.

 :awesome_for_real:  :ye_gods:  :grin:  :drill:   :uhrr:  :oh_i_see:

No  :pedobear:.  You don't want THAT in your cupboard when the coppers raid your stash.

Espresso cups.

Well, I got the T-shirt. I'm torn on the Polo because I might be able to get away with wearing it to work on non-casual days. Alot of my friends know of this website from conversations that start with "So this guy on that jaded gamer site I haunt said...." so it'll be fun to wear that shirt around them.


BTW, do these items go to the server fund? Just curious since I like them and will probably buy one a month either way.

I haven't decided what this money is for, but it's so little at this point that deciding would be a waste of time.

It is connected to the server fund paypal acct. So it'll go to f13 either way.

Mousepad ordered for reals.  Kick ass dude.  I second the notion for a mug.  My broke ass will sell blood and semen to buy something like that. 

It's one of the funky foamy mousepads, but it looks awesome. Might frame mine. I'll look into mugs.

Get 3 other faces on mouse pads and I can mod out my Rock Band drum set w/ them.

 :grin:

Ok. Now that is clever.

Oooh, drum silencers!

Signe wins at coffee cups!


also, those T-shorts better still be there when I get paid next week  :ye_gods:

Very shitty 2 megapixle self-taken pics incoming.

So quick review of the shirt, the material is nice much nicer then what I got from cafepress orders.  Its not strangely thin like many self-publish T's on the intrawebs.  The screened on logo is pretty damn cool if I say so myself, its set over your left breast not centered which I dug once I confirmed w/ Schild that it was supposed to be like that.  The logo will flake over time I'm sure, though washing cold, not overdrying and washing inside out can extend its lifetime.  He's done a good job making it so that the fading process will go well, its very grainy in parts of the logo so that it will look designed instead of ratty as it comes off.

Shipping was $10 to get it fast (3day) from UPS, fuckers didn't even try my neighbors to leave it w/ them on Tuesday so I had to leave the pickup attempt card out with directions.  I got an immediate email w/ tracking # early the day after my order, no shenanigans on my card, site was encrypted, blahblah, Schild doesn't gain access to your Identities (I checked lol).

Overall I think he's done good work here, its very AE without being ghey.  Which is fine by me, considering I don't own AE stuff on account of the aforementioned gheyness.  I'm just under 6" but only 155lbs wearing dripping wet sweats and this is a large on me.  Not sure if its clear from the awful pics but it doesn't come off as baggy whatsoever.  So the sizes are definitely on the small side.  PM if you have more questions or post here or whatever.

Bib got here last night by UPS, so definitely nice quick shipping (especially since I took their regular delivery option).   You'll have to wait a few months before I can post an action shot, so here it is on the back of a chair.  Oh, and it looks like they're using Bibit as their biller - at least that's what the charge came across as.

The polo sizing is messed up.  Ordered an XL and it feels like a M.

The other ones are good though.

Yeah, you can tell from the pic of the polo that it's one of those slim cut shirts.

The nice thing is that I'm in the market for those now that I can pull them off -- losing 5" off my waist since August FTW!

Hey you too, grats, I'm going clothes shopping for new clothes today for the first time in year. 6-7" off the waist now, gonna be fun.

Congrats Schild.



OT, does that mean if I'm somewhere between a (normal?) M and L, I actually need an XL, or should the L be ok, even after going through the wash?


EDIT: Hey, I'm down about 10lbs. I guess it helps that I've made a specific effort to not gorge so much at lunch now. Also, eating a little bit of something early in the AM to get the metabolism up and running. I'm hoping this isn't just a seasonal thing.

Be prepared to try on a TON of stuff. I cashed out some gift cards from Xmas -- had to try on like 20 pairs of jeans to find two pairs that fit...which are now getting a bit loose. But hey, I'll take that. I'm down from a tight 40 to a loose 36, so I'm hoping to hit 34 by my birthday in May. The real beauty is that thanks to the sheer amount of physical labor I do at work (cases of beer and wine and champagne are HEAVY), I can still drink beer and stuff as long as I don't eat like there'll never be food again.

Congrats to you too man, my best advice is to get yourself to a Whole Foods or other organic grocery -- you'd be amazed at all the shit you CAN eat if you just eat the shit that is free of fucked up additives and shit.

Is it possible to anti-alias the  :awesome_for_real:?

I'd get a mug, but the pixelation makes me  :cry2:

Also, I would get a mug of  :hello_thar:

It's meant to be pixelated; otherwise he'd have used the hi-res version:

(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/936/giantoicfacepx1xq1.png)

Dammit Samwise, you just burnt my retinas with the Awesome!

 :drill:

Of course... now that I have no money!  Blah!  Mono sucks.

I may have to just bite the bullet and order one of those mousepads though.

Polo ordered. Free advertising will commence shortly.  :drill:

All these people who are losing weight need to put up before and after pics.

Also eating small meals throughout the day is a great way to lose weight, and people tend to put on weight in the winter, so it isn't seasonal. When I went on a cruise I actually lose 5 pounds in a week because I was eating 3 meals a day plus snacks, making me the only person in recorded history to lose weight on a cruise. (Discounting people who get horrible diseases and vomit away weight)

I'll put up some pictures in a few months after I work some muscle back on. Odds are some pics will show up from GDC, but mostly, I look unkempt atm. On the bright side, not a single bit of loose skin despite losing 8 inches on the waist.

If you had waited ten years or so, you'd probably have floppy skin all over the place!  You'd have pull it up from everywhere and tie it off at the top and wear a cowboy hat to hide it.  And THEN (oops.  I hit the wrong button) if you met a pretty girl and tipped your hat, she would think you are a dick head!

Shirt came in today - QUICK SHIPPING!  :awesome_for_real:

Anyway, tried it on, unwashed. I bought a Large. The tag says it's a Large. It feels like a large...Medium.

The shirt itself was very staticy out of the bag, but as it's 100% cotton, that's to be expected. The shirt itself feels very nice.

The Logo looks nice, and feels nice. Not sure how well it's going to hold up, but it's not like I'll be wearing and washing it a whole lot.



Unfortunately, I won't get to wear it to GS for about 2 weeks, as I am out of state all next week.

So, is it just the store that gives a big middle finger to the small size? I want a shirt, but I'm afraid I'm the other type of geek -- the ludicrously thin one.

Seeing as everyone says the shirts are sized a little small AND they're 100% cotton, buy a medium and wash it.  It'll fit you just fine in short order.

so, you guys are selling t-shirts now?

What a good question!  I'd like to know the answer to that, myself.  (http://www.watchfarscape.com/forums/images/smilies/propeller.gif)

Your mastery of deductive reasoning astounds me, what gave it away?

Since they're all extra-small, and apparently also will shrink, I'll be buying XXLs. I am on the larger side than average, but I also wear my T's very baggy. This puts the Black polo out of the running, so with int'l shipping and all, I'll wait till the next round of designs come up so I can buy two at once. If they're any good.

When can we expect them?

Another one will be up relatively soon.

 :drill:

lol you gonna wear that Wednesday?

 :oh_i_see:

Shame about how the logo goes with it now.

Shut the fuck up and buy your t-shirt, bitch.

You should put that on a t-shirt.

I bought a t-shirt from f13.net and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

That too.

Sneak previews?

Oh, and yes, there are more. And yes, many more gamercentric ones. MANY MORE.

Gonna launch with 15-20 shirts made by a variety of people.

Very nice, why can't I buy them now?

Money burning a hole in my pocket...

Because I want to see the print quality first. It's a completely different kind than before (which turned out to be craaaaaaaaaap.)

Is the second one some sort of crying Kami? :grin:

What blows is that I would Love to buy some of these, but....

I would never, ever have a chance to wear them. Shirt+tie all week, and I generally don't wear t-shirts when I "go out," especially gamer ones. :|

Anyone (here) who doesn't know what the second one is needs a good punch in the eye.

Also, Straz, you're kind of a square.

Is the hi a lolcthulhu? It needs something.

I've never heard of lolcthulhu and kinda wish I hadn't. It looks very _very_ good on a shirt though. Or at least, we'll find out soon how nice it really does.

I lol'd. Poor Straz can never get a break. I'd buy something if it were more like this (http://www.threadless.com/product/178/Pandamonium) shirt. I fucking hate the fact that I lost it.

I like the Nixon one. If only it wasn't in fucking yellow.

There will be multiple colors of most of the shirts this time around.

(http://www.clisham.com-a.googlepages.com/unknown-cathulhu_soul.jpg)

I tried to access the store and it wants me to login. I tried my forum username and login, no joy. I try clicking on the helpful-looking "Help?" link, it just opens up the login screen in a popup window....

There's no obvious "Register Here" link anywhere. Advice?

That's because that's not the store.

So... is there a link? Or does it come and go?

It'll be back and a link will be put back up when it opens.

I assure you, it could have been worse.

That shirt is a little expensive. Just thought I'd put that out there.

It looks fantastic with those colors.

Wish I knew more about it than, "It's from Planescape: Torment which you didn't play because it was released in 1999 before you really did any PC gaming other than Diablo."

Play it. Play it now. It's all over the place. Gametap, whatever. Get it.

I spoke to soon.

The printing process I've picked is not available on some colors. But when I turn on the option for you to pick your color, those colors are available. You will get a vastly inferior printing type on those colors.

As such, there will be NO choosing of colors. If you want to see something in another color, just post in the new thread after I put it up with details of every design. I'm getting samples this week, hopefully I'll be able to show you all soon.

What I think everyone really wants to know is: how soon before the spinoff subdomain lute.f13.net?

I like the one with the monkeys!

:roll:

I wouldn't have gotten the Torment shirt if you hadn't added the skull and text to it.  In case I haven't already posted it, I tried playing the game a few months ago and hated it from the start.  Too much reading for the mood I was in and the combat felt awful.

Apparently I need a punch in the eye. 

I know at least one shirt I'll be getting. 

Yeah, what does the wailing spirit have to do with Planescape: Torment.  Or is it a combination of the game and something else?

Login servers have been down for over a week, epic fail.

Actually, the symbol of Torment is what was on the nameless one's shoulder and appeared throughout the game a number of times. Here's a screenshots:

(http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/9193/sym1za5.jpg)

See, I'm not the only one who doesn't remember one of the symbols from a game they may or may not have played almost 10 years ago.

Also, you might get away with going out in t-shirt in AZ because it's a fucking desert, but it's kinda trashy in northern climes. A gamer shirt isn't impressing anyone if you're just sitting around.

(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5973/1201919520572mj2.png)

Could you make that a shirt already?

Is Straz an Inuit? Oh wait, they aren't pussies about the cold.

 :awesome_for_real:

Huh.  I don't remember it at all.  Cool though.  Thanks.

Considering the focus of this board, I am shocked that you are not charging a premium for early access to these shirts.

Sure the first runs may not look very good, but you can make improvements over time to create the shirt you have envisioned.

You could even offer pricing based on successful models like maybe 69.99 for early adopters, 39.99 after two months, 25.99 after four months and then free with every donation after eight months.

How about a "My shirt has collision detection" and a couple of people cuddling?  Maybe too sappy for this place though.

A hundred fifty for a lifetime shirt guarantee?  :awesome_for_real:

You stay classy.

Be sure to offer the shirts in widescreen.

I am all over the Nixon shirt.  I like the PS:T and monkey t-shirt but they'll just attract confusion from everyone I see on a daily basis.

Hehe. I like that one, i think ill work something up for it.

Text is mostly the devil.

Kind of hard to ski if you hate the cold.

Hard to be a pussy when you don't get any! HEYOOOOO!

Been cleaning things up for a gallery. Will be getting my demo shirts tomorrow or the next day. So, yea, hopefully launch soon (like mondayish)?

What's the x JL part about?

I like the Deus Ex one.

Yea, got to admit that confuses me as well. I want other people to be confused by the shirts I wear, but not myself.

Jew lovin'.

Jazz Life?

(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7269/imagean4.jpg)


JL is another project involving artists that aren't me and aren't f13.

This shirt quality is questionable. Actually, the shirts themselves are nice. I don't know if I like the print process. Some examples:

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/7734/gothiccloseupdf7.png

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4823/nixonxk3.png

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/418/bardcloseupgo2.png

You can really tell it's printed.

So I'm on the fence.

Print on demand just isn't there yet. Investigating other options.

The Nixon one looks great, the printing process works with the image quite well.

Maybe update the rest of your images to look more...rustic?

I think the real problem is the layer of white on darker colors is really fucking white. And really thick. It kinda fucks with things. Basically, white fucking pops. Too much. It's so dark colors don't so in and disappear - which I understand. But, like, comeon, do a clearcoat instead of a white coat. Surely we have the technology for clear ink.

My thoughts:

fewer words. I prefer the simpler images.

No thanks on the JL/xJL. Who the fuck are they and why are they on my f13 t-shirts?

If I'm going to werat Ts branded with emblems and initials of fuckers I have no idea or care about, I may as well shop at the local malls.

I hope the Jew League doesn't see that message, they can be...unfriendly.   :ye_gods:

Nod. I'm still waiting for the smilies.

 :awesome_for_real: :oh_i_see: :uhrr: :ye_gods:

also, coffee mugs.

I'm just gonna let this die guys. I really am just not happy with the result, and another forum member and I are seriously investigating doing straight screenprinting/discharge stuff with game centralized designs. We're moving along at a steady clip, and hopefully MAYBE we'll have stuff to show people in May at the gettogether. Can't promise anything though.

In short: Shirts, serious business.

Will the new ones NOT have "JL" on them? Because, you know, who the fuck?

Sounds like a good move. Those sample graphic prints looked thicker than paint, which kinda defeats the purpose of using high-quality cotton.

I would pay cash monies for the new cutesy SA smiley with the tiny mouth on a shirt.

Also, the Planescape (which is also Diablo2) font hath inspired me. 

Do one with Deckard Cain on the front and on the back write "Stay a while and listen"

Take requests!

You've got a fine treasure there in that horardric cube.

I'll second the coffee mugs... I'd have a child and sell it, just to get the monies to buy a F-13 coffee mug.

If I could get a company to produce special coffee for f13 I would call it "Morning Rage."

Here ya go! (http://www.branders.com/s/Promotional-Coffee---Instant-Coffee-Single,-3.63--x-4--60381.html)

We could even have Some F13 BBQ sauce (http://www.branders.com/s/Promotional-BBQ-Sauce-60442.html)!
