Junior, please.
Not at all, although I think I do at least have some self-awareness about it. I don't go out of my way to point it out to people.
So where does Gaf buy "tasteful" video game clothes? Most stuff I see are always blatant (1-UP etc) and does not look very nice.
I like the subtle stuff.
I don't advertise that I play games and I hate the term gamer.
I haven't looked at it yet, but a lot of people recommending fangamer from what I've seen.
A majority of my shirts have been from theyetee. There's quite a few mehs and clunkers from them, but what can you do with a daily tshirt thing. I quite enjoy the shirts I've gotten though.
Qwertee is also a daily tshirt thing which I've known about for a bit, but I think it's been straight garbage most of the time.
If you like fighting games Eighty Sixed is good. I thought about getting Lethal League stuff from them too. I mentioned my beowulf shirt earlier in the thread.
I also use redbubble from time to time for random shirts. It's where I got my Wonderful 101 shirt that Kamiya wore a while back. There's a lot of garbage on redbubble and it can be overpriced, but you just have to shift through it. Also take advantage of the 20% shit they seem to do often.
I don't see that w101 shirt there :C
When I wear my nerdy shirts in public (which is most of the time) it usually gets ignored. Sometimes I encounter people who know what it's from and that's always nice.
Here you go. It's labeled as Kamiyas Wonderful Shirt and redbubble searches can be weird sometimes. There's also a black shirt with white design, but I prefer the black on white. It's also cheaper for whatever reason.

Why would you be ashamed to be a gamer? Everyone is a gamer. That fifty year old man in the suit and ill-fitting pants is a gamer. That old lady holding the hand of her six year old granddaughter is a gamer. That two year old baby fighting for her daddy's phone is a gamer. PRESIDENT OBAMA is a gamer. The entire world is filled with gamers.
And they're all fucking crazy.
You should be ashamed. What's wrong with you?
Yes, yes I am.
A couple of girls I took home lost interest when they saw my game collection (I tiny fraction of what it is now), when I was doing my Master, and they where classmates.
The 'gamergate' has made so many waves for anything related to 'gamers' is hard for me to identify as such, even more present myself as a 'proud' member.
My fiancee stands my hobby, she calls herself a geek after all.
Also, I come from a traditional Mexican family. A grow up man still playing with toys is a sign of bad parenting, or something being completely wrong with the family he is part of, in the eyes of other Mexican families.
I'm certainly not ashamed of having gaming as my primary hobby, but at the same time I don't go out of my way to advertise it. I'm not uncomfortable waiting in a line at a game store in a mall, or buying games at Best Buy or WalMart.
But due to my age, I think a lot of people have the expectation that I should be over this hobby. Even my wife asked me what I was going to be doing when I'm 60, still playing games? (I'm 38 now) I was like, well, yeah hopefully.
I think playing video games is still that guilty pleasure for a lot of people. More people do it than will admit they do it, which is kinda sad, but it's still got a stigma after all these years. I think the generation after mine (currently say age 16 and younger) will never know what it's like to be judged for liking videogames because they are so commonplace now.

That's no gamer I recognize in this fraternity.
I used to be like that a few years ago but as I'm turning 50 next Jan, I don't really give a monkeys anymore.
I play my 3DS/Vita in public.

Nope although I've never really liked wearing obvious gamer t shirts or the like (purely on personal taste - I tend to very minimalist looks and avoid film/music/game gear as it doesn't really deliver that look) but I'd never hide that I game.
