I got my grey ringer with blue sleeve/neck rings...pretty nice. A couple of things:

The artwork looked like it had holes in it, then I realized the button pictures had fake glares on them. On white it would look good, on grey it looks weird.

Second, the shirt is pretty big. I think they run a little large, FYI.

Soslo can you post a pic. It would be great if every one that ordered a different shirt could post a pic.

soslo · « **Reply #43 on:** November 13, 2003, 07:44:02 pm »

Ummm...I can, but it will be a while. I don't have a digital camera, so I have to wait until I get the film developed...though I did order a digital camera today...so either way, in a week I can post. $:-\$

I was thinking they run a little big too, but i thought it might just be me. Glad to know i'm not the only one that thinks so.

I got my Premium white T today! I'm very pleased with the print quality. In my opinion, it is so much better than what Cafepress.com offers (on t-shirts anyway), that there is really no comparison. I will say that I ordered a mug and a stein from Cafepress.com, and I was perfectly happy with those. But for t-shirts, this one is a *lot* better.

I got my yellow t... and also a lady's haze yellow t for my girl friend... will post a pic when I have a chance...

the haze yellow color is good... mine is a little.... hmm... too yellow....

but its overall... its good....

Frostillicus · « **Reply #47 on:** November 14, 2003, 12:49:00 pm »

I'm not sure what you mean by haze yellow, hyiu. Is that just regular yellow?

Print quality is top-notch on these, but like I said before it's only going to be as bright as the t-shirt, so keep that in mind when ordering. Consequently, it looks the best on a white tee. (really amazing, actually). I hope I didn't mislead anyone with anything - not my intention, of course.

edit - I'm still looking in the black tee....might be awhile though.

hyiu · « **Reply #48 on:** November 14, 2003, 01:26:53 pm »

hi Frostillicus

I ordered 1 for myself, and 1 for my girl friend....
on the ladies styles... they offer different colors...
and one of them is called "haze yellow"...
its like a little lighter yellow... actually, that is very nice...

not complaining... but I think my yellow t... the yellow color is "too strong"....

anyway... will try to make some time this wkend and take and post a couple of pics... then you'll all see what I mean....

but the design is very good.... I like it....

Thanks for all the work !!!....

Frostillicus · « **Reply #49 on:** November 14, 2003, 03:21:21 pm »

hyiu - cool, and sorry if the yellow is a little too intense - but glad you are still happy with it

ekopp2 · « **Reply #50 on:** November 15, 2003, 12:56:27 am »

Mine came today and I'm pretty excited about it. I ordered long-sleeve, in the "natural" color - basically, off-white. The colors are vibrant and the print quality looks great.

I ordered a large, and I would say it's slightly big (which is what I was expecting based on prev. comments). It's not too big, though.

Thanks, Frosty, for the excellent work.

Are you a Robert Lynn Aspirin fan?

Moreso when I was in college. I adopted Phule as my game handle, and have used it ever since.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. 11 days to Australia for $9 aint too bad. Anybody else down here order one?

Frostillicus · « **Reply #58 on:** November 18, 2003, 07:41:12 am »

That yellow is very....yellow

But they came out pretty good, thanks for the pics ekopp and hyiu. Glad you like the shirts.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #59 on:** November 20, 2003, 07:58:45 pm »

Got mine-plain white. Looks amazing!

I can't imagine getting gradients to print any better than this. Fantastic work Frosty. I couldn't be happier. WOO HOO!

Yes, I can't wear that Polo shirt with that giant thing on the back TO WORK!
I'd LOVe one with just that big design (the full Build your own... from the back) shrunk down and put over the heart

or something like that....but I don't wear polo shirts around the house and I'd love to show off my dork-e-ness at work with a lovely polo.

I just got my hat from Pixelhugger..now who's gonna make me some BYOAC pants and socks to make me a total loser!?

how many shirts have been sold so far?

HeadRusch · « **Reply #62 on:** December 05, 2003, 06:35:30 pm »

These look pretty choice.......too bad there wont be mirrors to watch the expressions of people walking behind you, scratching their heads going "What the H$ll does that say..

??"

Oooh good...XXL, for those of us spending too much time gaming and not enough time...errr.....doing anything else that would get us out of a XXL shirt =D

HeadRusch · « **Reply #63 on:** December 05, 2003, 07:03:35 pm »

Oh...just a note...is it just me, or does this design some-how cry OUT for an Arcade cab, or rather...a "charichature" (sp?) of an arcade cab......

soslo · « **Reply #64 on:** December 05, 2003, 08:13:41 pm »

YEAH!

perhaps a cab silloutte in the background

Sorry totally forgot to reply to this one....
Just checked the site just now and looks like a little over 20 shirts total. Most popular one is the original design.

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #66 on:** December 09, 2003, 03:47:09 pm »

umm im not meaning to insult you guys but ummm....... isnt that a little geeky wearing a shirt about building arcade controls? lol sorry i just wouldnt wear that in public

soslo · « **Reply #67 on:** December 09, 2003, 04:32:51 pm »

with your sig I wouldn't think you'd care

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #68 on:** December 09, 2003, 04:38:39 pm »

yeah thats true, i dunno though. i fully admit im a geek to people, but i just dont wear shirts about being a geek

maybe if i was like 35 and already married, then i wouldnt care. but im 19, i dont think arcade controls pick up the ladies

Well this might sounds stupid to you but you have no idea how many girls have been completely impressed and excited by the fact that I was able to build an arcade cabinet from scratch, especially when you show them it has Ms Pacman and Frogger on it... You shouldn't sell yourself short. If a girl disses you because you had fun building an arcade cabinet, then trust me, thats not the kind of girl you want.

soslo · « **Reply #70 on:** December 09, 2003, 04:57:06 pm »

word. I just turned 24 last week...and my wife doesn't seem to care that I enjoy building arcade machines from scratch

nipsmg · « **Reply #71 on:** February 03, 2004, 03:04:50 pm »

My girlfriend says "You're a dork".... but doesn't care.
I actually can't wait till it's done .. so I can tell her she can't play..

I don't know that i'd rock the T-shirt, tho. :-D

Frostillicus · « **Reply #72 on:** February 03, 2004, 08:57:18 pm »

I know many women, who while not exactly into gaming like most guys, are nevertheless impressed by the arcade cab in my living room. They don't know _why_ I built it, but have a good respect for the dedication it took to build it.

Of course the guys dig it, too

djflip · « **Reply #73 on:** April 18, 2004, 12:06:23 pm »

Is there a font that I can download that is used to make the t-shirt?

Matt, GoC · « **Reply #74 on:** May 04, 2004, 02:00:19 am »

I think I just soiled myself! Frosty, you're like a prophet, send from the Arcadian Heavens to show us the errors of our ways, and that we can find salvation in front of the gentle glow of our marquees, and strength from our control-strewn CPs.
Well, I think I'll have another arcade-related expense to add to the list in the not-too-distant future

Then you are not a true geek. You're a poser.

I haven't been to an arcade recently. Have you scoped out to see if any girls are there, other than the ones looking bored waiting for their boyfriends to quit playing to leave? I think I'm going to have to head out there just to fulfill my curiosity now.

When I brought up the idea of building a cabinet to my wife her exact words were, "That would be cool." I'm still building my sons toybox right now and she's already nagging me to start. I love her so much!

StLouisRod · « **Reply #76 on:** May 04, 2004, 10:51:53 pm »

Heh... I'm 34, and my girlfriend is 31, but she's loves playing my Mame cabinet as much as I do! Ok... maybe not *quite* as much as I do. But she's really addicated to Tetris Plus 2, Bust a Move, and Up N' Down!

I'm usually playing Golden Tee Golf online all night so she can't use it... WUH HA HA HA HA!!!! Anyone else out there playing GTG with a real GTG 3 inch trackball like me? My name is Stroker Ace
