This shirt made me laugh

[Snoddie]

I just thought I'd share this shirt I found on teespring, I got a good chuckle out of the idea. Click Here to check it out http://teespring.com/thisisnotthis

Now THIS I'm gonna order.

*amused snort*

[Muninwing]

my local gaming club has had the store they operate out of stock these shirts...

[Path Walker]

That's the worst piece of ****e (UK slang meaning a particularly ugly piece of clothing) I've ever seen. Not only is is barely comprehensible, its got about 15 different fonts on it. Thats some typical nerd **** right there, checks all the boxes, lack of self awareness, misplaced sense on intelligence, ugly as all hell.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

Which would explain the rather irrational response, no?

[Mr Mystery]

I'm amused they seem to think shifting relatively static blocks around is harder than maintaining more fluid formations - such as leaving gaps for your skirmish screen to fall back behind the shieldwall, with enough troops in the shieldwall to then plug said gaps...

You may want to visit my incredibly helpful and informative 'Throwing Shapes in the Church of War' topic in the Tactics board. And feel free to contribute. It's a discussion, not a lecture.

The truth that one (historically inaccurate abstraction) is different from another (slightly less inaccurate idea)? Shocking.

The thing that hurts is the terrible design of that t shirt and the fashion sense of anyone lame enough to wear it. People can be butthurt about Age of Sigmar all they want, that doesn't excuse wearing a T Shirt that makes them look like the world's biggest dork. I'm just saying that no one could convict me for beating someone up in that shirt.

Imagine them trying to mumble through their sperg-fog to explain this abomination to someone who didn't care but happened to glance in horror at the clashing text and general lack of any aesthetic merit.

They could save time for the potential customers but impregnating it with a faint-to-middling aroma of cheese, unwashed armpit and Axe body spray and adding realistic food stains.

What does the matching Fedora look like? Does it have 7 different fonts on too?

This Fedora is different to this Trilby. Men's Rights Forever.

It wasn't irrational, you're just upset that you liked it and it's ****ing awful.

I don't think the original shirt contains a value judgement as to which is easier to do...

I'll stop you there E; I don't.

No ta, like most of BoLs visitors, I have nothing to contribute to that topic.

[Cutter]

Shocking.

Isn't it though? Frankly, I don't know how they can sleep at night.

It's not gonna win any fashion awards, but then neither does most fashion.

Christ thanks man, I was beginning to think you'd never issue your approval.


that doesn't excuse wearing a T Shirt that makes them look like the world's biggest dork.

Maybe be it's my age, but I stopped worrying about what random s**tcreeps in the street though of my attire some time in my mid 20s. I'm 44.


I'm just saying that no one could convict me for beating someone up in that shirt.

I'm no barrister, but I think you may be mistaken.*

Explain please, I don't speak youth.

I'm sure your Insignia makes you smell like a manly spring meadow.

Fedoras are cool. Like Fezs.

Its just a niche market shirt. No reason to get up in arms over it..get it. No..damn..

[nsc]

No reason to get up in arms over it

More like in it.

The criticism on the shirt that it's ugly, uses too many different fonts, and is entirely incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't know what warhammer fantasy battles is, is a valid criticism. However "geeks", typically "anti-social fanatics" don't care about "fashion"

I still see overweight men with huge beer guts with their messenger bags that have anime girls on them.

Furthermore as Alaric noted it's a niche market shirt. It's not "fashion." Graphic tees are not "fashion" and neither are blue jeans (or sweat pants, but some sweat pants are fashion, it gets confusing fast, hell some blue jeans are fashion but that just means you paid more for them ;) ).

Like, for example, a story which comes to mind involves a person who went to a summer camp for ruby programming, in ruby a symbol is preceded by ":" as in php it would be preceded by "$" or something similar, essentially :variable would tell the code that variable is special, it's not just text, it's a symbol.

So one guy had a shirt which simply said ":SEX" which, if you know ruby, you read it as "Sex Symbol"

Pretty clever, no? Well to everyone who doesn't know ruby (most people) it reads as "colon sex" and that's got a lot of different connotations than "sex symbol".


So yes, you're welcome to wear this ugly shirt (it's pretty funny though) and declare your love for an unsupported, dead tabletop fantasy wargame which was a small part of a niche hobby.

I'm just surprised that people are paying this much money for a junk t-shirt, I would think that given how much complaining I hear about prices people wouldn't be so quick to pay so much for a t-shirt and instead would focus on better value buys at local establishments :P

Clothes are not a medium for jokes. Especially crap ones that nerds think are clever.

There's an entire industry that disagrees with you, but I'm guessing this isn't a new feeling.

Now you're just flirting with me, sorry dood, I've been crushingly hetro since I discovered what it was for.

[Voltigeur]

I kind of like it. I'll agree that it's not pretty but I'd wear it to the local GW if I had any reason to go there. :p

[Charon]

So yes, you're welcome to wear this ugly shirt (it's pretty funny though) and declare your love for an unsupported, dead tabletop fantasy wargame which was a small part of a niche hobby.

Which is pretty funny though as all GW systems are pretty much unsupported compared to KoW. And to see AoS as more as a "small part of a niche hobby" would also be bold.

[Path Walker]

Yeah that kings of war sure is well supported. With it's total lack of any fun game play.

You've never played Kings of War I'm assuming.

and are you're obviously either trolling or ignorant. Mantic don't support their games, they Kickstart them, release a half-arsed product and have moved on the next Kickstarter before anyone even gets everything they paid for.
