I've already pointed out how much I like Meat Bun's T-shirts. I've been loving their newer ones, the DX Line, and getting a lot of wear out of the ones I've got, so I thought I'd indulge in some long-overdue pimpage.Honestly, being a "G4/X\3|2" isn't something I tend to like to advertise in the traditional sense. Yes, I do, in fact, still own the launch-day FFVII shirt I got as a preorder gift from some retailer or other, but I'm a little embarrassed wearing that out in public. My Assassin's Creed 2 shirt was a cozy wear for the long flight home from E3, but I'm not wearing it out to the bar either.
But I totally love this particular "Fight Night" shirt -- yeah, it's a Street Fighter shirt, but it's so subtle that only fellow geeks can tell you're not simply super-fashionable. It always gets a ton of compliments when I wear it out and about, and it actually looks good on me, unlike XXL Unreal Tournament tees. If you've never checked out the new line, you totally should.
Also, I am promoting two items of clothing here, actually -- I'm not really sure why I got in the mail these high-tech specs from Gunnar Optiks, but hey, here we are, and I'm telling you about them because I feel guilty not having paid for 'em. They are apparently worn by professional musicians and people with names like "DJ Rocky Rock"?
I don't even wear prescription lenses, but my eyes really suffer from spending so much time a day on the laptop working. These are supposed to help prevent eyestrain. I guess I'll have to wear them daily for a while to see if there's really an effect or not, but they are comfortable and I think they look kinda cool.
Done shilling for now, I swear. Seriously, though, there are plenty of geek clothes out there, but when are we going to see more labels and retailers getting on board with geek fashion? Let's just pretend I am starting a "not brushing hair" trend, while we're at it.
