Some comic book t-shirts can be cool.
Video game shirts are cool to wear

I would get the Fruit Fucker T-shirt but I'd be one of the thirty people in town that wouldknow what it was.

I have a Starcraft t shirt that I got when I bought the game back in '98. I used to wear it all the time:

I got another compliment by the girl at the Deli today on my shirt. Now if only more guys would compliment me!
I would be horribly embarrassed to wear a videogame shirt these days. It was cool back years ago when you had to scour these shady import websites to get an Atari soccer jersey, but when you can go into Hot Topic and buy a Zelda t-shirt, that's not cool. And everyone is wearing them these days, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I don't want to be mistaken for some douche who saw a Mario shirt in Hot Topic and bought it when I've been a die hard Nintendo fan since they started releasing consoles.

My penis is still intact.
Your tag changes amuse me.
My brother has a REZ t-shirt, nothing myself though.

Please, these aren't diamonds. People didn't buy video game tshits as a status symbol. No matter where you found them, they were plentiful and affordably priced. Your elitist attitude amuses me though. I need to go upgrade my computer because I'd hate to be caught with out dated technology that every douch in america can easily pick up at Best Buy.
Yeah, Mike Works has taken my tag status as a pet project these past few weeks.

Yeah, I wear these shirts all I time becauseI feel the fact that I play video games and my few other interest makes me special and defines me as a person. It's also a great way to get validated by complete strangers
I only have like 2 two shirts you would find at Hot Topic or a similar store, all the rest are from actual games. Ratchet & Clank Polo, Sly Cooper polo, etc. Most of my shirts are ones you would find at EB Games, since they have that ugly ass logo on the arm sleeve. I'm trying to get rid of these god damn shirts, so anyone want to buy some? They're rather small, even though they say...XL. Odd.

Sorry, but yes, people who used to buy videogame t-shirts bought them for a reason. To show brand loyalty, to show their "elite-ness" or whatever. It wasn't always as easy as heading to Kohl's or Hot Topic. In the past year or so, the number of videogame related t-shirts has shot up considerably. Even stuff that you could only buy online a year ago is now in Kohl's, being bought up by kids who think it's cool. Sorry if it's a bit of a sore spot with me.

Id consider that a definite plus. I cant admire anyone who outwardly seeks attention from their choice of t-shirt. Just wear what you like.
Hence why I have such a problem with those Hot Topic shirts. Yeah, people love wearing them which is your average Hot Topic shopper . who happens to be the type of person who will wear something just because the popular consensus say its popular (like Hot Topic) and by the way, those same people were the same ones who used to call anyone who showed any true affinity towards video game fandom NERD!!!!! So I find most people who wear those shirts to be hypocritical assholes.
As for my favorite gaming shirts, I used to have a Sonic & Knuckles shirt which was just the logo, but it got too old to wear. I also have the shirt everyone got for pre-ordering a Dreamcast from EB, and I still wear it today (fucker has lasted forever). But my fave has to be a homemade AM2 logo shirt a friend made for me last year for my birthday.

The only people that get laughed at wearing videogame/comic shirts are ugly fat asses
that look like they belong in geek attire.
Good looking, confident people wearing comic/gaming shirts fall into a more socially
acceptable "geek chic" category the insecure flabby fucks that share our hobby will never
quite understand.
I dont know how many nervous sweaty fat dudes I've tried talking gaming to (in a gaming
store of all places) that would clam up and act like they've never played a game before
"uh...I'm buying a game for my cousin!".

All the Nintendo shirts posted thus far are retarded. And coincidentally, most of them are sold at Hot Topic. Go figure. I'd be down with seeing a Nintendo logo on a shirt, but the NES controller or the system itself and some fucking dumb phrase written on it... no.
Here's one that I don't feel ashamed to wear outside the house.
