Welcome back, clothing geeks, to another edition of T-Shirt Addict! Today we'll be looking at the many intersections of video games and internet memes. Having a built-in message allows most of these shirts to lean towards minimalist design, thereby retaining their humor without risking tackiness. After all, what is a funny shirt worth if you wouldn't actually wear it? These picks pass the test. As usual, we'll be running down only the best new t-shirts on the internet, so enjoy the threads.
To celebrate the launch of Portal 2, Shirt.Woot released this t-shirt entitled The Cheese is a Liedekranz. Their timing could not have been better. With a day one stock of three thousand shirts sold out in less than two hours, this is now officially the fastest selling shirt ever debuted on the site. Be honest, a little mouse holding a portal gun is adorable.
If "The Cake is Lie" isn't enough internet meme for your wardrobe, how about "Haters Gonna Hate?" BustedTees has turned the phrase used to dismiss forum and comment thread trolls, along with this classic animation, into the Haters Crossing sign. It's hard to top BustedTee's last shirt based on the meme, which was an excellent use of Statler and Waldorf, but they just may have done it.
What's better than a 70+ year old meme based on British World War II propaganda? The folks at hit webcomic Penny Arcade have created their own geeky parody, of which there has been a recent flood, but I dare say theirs is the best of the lot.
We interrupt this string of meme-focused shirts to deliver the news that yes, math can be art. This shirt, *In Harmony, *demonstrates just that point by depicting the intersecting beauty of several sine waves with different amplitudes and frequencies. To make sure that passers by don't just think you have a cool artsy print on your shirt, the designer has branded wearers as geeks by including the mathematical formula for wavelength.
Finally, in what is quickly becoming tradition for this column, we'll send off with a shirt for the little ones. Due to the recent surge in popularity surrounding the My Little Pony reboot, ThinkGeek has reprinted their *OMG Pwnies *design on both children's tees and bibs. While it doesn't have the new art style of the Lauren Faust (of Powerpuff Girls fame) series, this parody is still a winner.
