Cave Story drops as a WiiWare download on March 22nd and these sick shirts designed by James “HARVEYJAMES” Harvey and Mitch “spacesick” Ansara are set to drop the same day over at video game culture shop Attract Mode. The designs were even approved by the guy who made Cave Story, Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya himself. [Via Tiny Cartridge] 
Kotaku.com aka the greatest gaming blog in all internet-dome (it’s an honor to be mentioned on the same list as them) has an amazing new T-shirt designed by Jason Chan who also worked on Dragon Age: Origins and made this absurd “Zombie Playground” painting. What I love about this shirt is that it’s so subtle, but it still screams Kotaku. From the color scheme, to the cake (seriously, the dudes at Kotaku love cake), and, of course, the pointer fish. And since the internet is obsessed with cute anthropomorphic versions of things (see OS-Tans), the centerpiece is the all-new Kotaku-tan character. Check out the little details like the D+Pads on her suit. Spoiler alert: I’ve been drafting up an cute Albotas chick mascot forever, but I’m telling you now so you don’t think I stole the idea from Kotaku. Anyways, I really stole the idea from Danny Choo, so there!
You can pick up one of these fresh new tees in black, asphalt, or organic colors for $24 from the newly re-launched Meat Bun. It’s also worth checking out Meat Bun just for the cool pixel art by Paul Robertson.
JackThreads are offering a select amount (10, to be exact) of Kidrobot t-shirts originally priced from $36 to $45 for only $15. The sale will only last a few days and you need an invite from a JackThreads member in order to take advantage of the sweet deals, but luckily I’m a member and I have your invite right here.
Totally gonna’ pick up that “Toys Are Stupid” tee. Thanks to Dan for the tip!
Taking a page straight from the Marvel Team-Up comics, Marvel and Tokidoki will be joining forces for an apparel collection coming out on February 25th. I started to lose some faith in Tokidoki when I heard about the crossover with the Black Eyed Peas (ugh!), but he’s redeemed himself. This line looks fresh to death.

The dudes and dudettes from FancyPantsGangsters just put out some fun new geey shirts. My favorite is the R2D2 Cage Unit tee pictured above, but there’s also the foreboding apocalyptic Sara Palin shirt and a cool beer-drinkin’ Witchblade by Rick Basaldua from Top Cow Comics.
You can snag yourself one of these fine shirts over at shop.fancypantsgangsters.com.
Just don’t hurt me when I swivel your boobies like analog sticks. Chances are, you’ll wind up liking it. (winky face) Quick, someone invent a shirt like this that actually works as a controller! [Via KuraFire]
If you’re the type of geek who likes to let their nerd flag fly, but doesn’t want to wear the same ol’ shirts that anyone can get from their local Hot Topic, check out these super sexy, super limited Odin and Shiva tees for Final Fantasy XIII. Since these shirts are limited in quantity and imported from Japan, they go for $40, but it’s really a small price to pay for being the most stylish nerd in town.
Riccardo Bucchioni just sent in word that one of his Threadless submissions was recently voted into production! About the design, he says, “it’s a sorta “old comic book adverts selling internet/new century geeky stuff” design.” You can get the shirt here for only $18. Congrats, Riccardo!
Italian artist/customizer/designer Riccardo Bucchioni was previously featured on oldschool Albotas in a weekly segment that some of you might remember as Munny Monday (all those old posts were lost in the server switch earlier this year) and he recently shot me word that he designed three new tees based on the tv show Heroes for Funkrush Clothing. Each fake promotional tee features a mock business from one of 3 Heroes characters. There’s Nakamura Travels, Bennet Cheerleading Camp, and Sylar’s Clock Shop.
Each shirt goes for £20.00 (about $32 US) The dudes behind Funkrush are also behind Supercombo, makers of the Space Invaders/Darth Vader shirt dubbed Space In-Vader, which has previously been featured on the site. Be sure to check out their blog for updates on all their newest wares.
Here’s a shirt that most sane people would probably never wear in a million years, but it’s still kinda’ interesting, I guess. Game Paused is selling this Link t-shirt with the following description:
From the description, it seems like they either want you to believe you can go on a Zelda-like adventure while wearing this shirt, or they’re telling you that you should only wear it in the comfort of your own home while playing video games. There’s even a Master Sword strapped to the back.
Would any of you wear this in public (conventions don’t count!)? Let me know in the comments!

I probably don’t have to tell you this, but this typographic Chest Hair shirt is obviously a little bit on the awesome side. [Via swissmiss]
This week The Hundreds will be releasing two fresh new limited edition T-shirts at their flagship stores in SF and LA. They’ve joined forces with the iconic comic book master Stan Sakai, best known for his comic book series Usagi Yojimbo, which is currently published by Dark Horse Comics. Each tee features none other than the one and only Miyamoto Usagi, a ronin samurai rabbit loosely based on Miyamoto Musashi – the famous Japanese swordsman. You may also remember Usagi from a little cartoon back in the day called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Stan Sakai himself will be making an appearance at The Hundreds store in LA on Saturday, November 21st from 11 am to 12pm to sign the latest issue of his monthly series. And to top it all off, the first 25 people to show will also score a signed copy of Yokai, the first full-color Usagi Yojimbo comic.
“I am always excited to hear stories of the impact of Usagi on other creative individuals, especially those working outside of comics” said Usagi Yojimbo creator, Stan Sakai. “I hope that this collaboration exposes a whole new group of people to Usagi, and comics in general. I’m grateful to have had the chance to work on this project with Bobby and everyone at The Hundreds.” “Much of what I do today, as creative director for the Hundreds, stems from poring over Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo art as a youth,” said The Hundreds co-founder Bobby Kim. “To this day, it was one of the most influential comic books in my life, and so it was an honor to work with Stan on two exclusive pieces of art for The Hundreds. To any fan of The Hundreds, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate Usagi Yojimbo’s inspiration to the brand.” More pics
