retro xbox 360 t shirt… finally!

its been a long time… i shoudnt have left you… without some t shirts to step to.

my creative juices have been lacking recently. sorry for the lack of new t shirt designs. i will try to do better going forward.

so ive been really wanting to do some 8 bit pixel art pieces, i just didnt know what they would be of. then this weekend, i had an epiphany while i was sitting at home missing the lady playing batman: arkham asylum. (what the heck just happened there?)

gamers need some love too. and like video game controllers, they need to be held and have their buttons pushed once in a while.

get your new cal football t shirts here!

sorry for the infrequent posts and t shirts. been busy with a few things – helping the lady move to philly, doing the whole long distance thing.

you think i’d be super bummerfied. i mean, i am kind of bummerfied, but not super bummerfied. (lady, if you are reading this, i am super super bummerfied). the reason behind this is two-fold.

1. 1. a fellow golden bear moved in and now we have lots of video game playing time and sportscenter on.
2. 2. cal football season is starting.

its no secret that i am a big california golden bears football fan. i think we can be a special team this year. so special that there are actually new angry ninja cal football t shirts out! i know. im like a phoenix rising from its ashes.

kevin riley, please dont eff this up like oregon state 2007. tedford (and agnry ninja) would be displeased.

and as always, go bears.

if only beyonces halo was about a video game.

nintendo thumb… its been a while

with the popularity of analog thumbsticks these days, i have not experienced nintendo thumb for quite some time. but then again, it has been quite a while since i last played any sort of fighting game.

brings back quite a few memories of the 12 year-old me getting my ass handed to me by m. bison. psycho crusher is lethal.

looks like i will be picking up that marvel vs capcom 2 for ps3 after all. lets hope my thumbs toughen up in time.

angry ninja power t shirts!

i like gadgets. i like power buttons. when you push a power button, things turn on! things that i like with power buttons:

• playstation 3
• television
• macbook pro
• iphone
• lights
• car
• heater (when cold)
• air conditioning (when hot)

maybe the next time youre wearing this shirt and feeling tired, you can press your chest and you will get powered up and energized.

little big planet happy ninja sackboys

people like little big planet. people like playing as a sackboy or sackgirl, running around jumping, grabbing, flying, exploding things. what people didnt like was that my angry ninja sackboy was so… angry. they ask me:

mike, little big planet is such a cute game. you can customize your sackboy, make him dance around and do such adorable things. why is your sackboy ninja t shirt so angry?

so you spoke, and i listened. here are the happy little big planet ninja sackboys. i have to admit, they are pretty darned cute.

but maybe not as cute as this:

americanizing parents, early christmas spirit!

usually on thanksgiving, my family and i just crash the awesome thanksgiving shindig at smallchous. change of plans this year. tired of being the freeloaders, my mom and my aunt decided to have a family thanksgiving instead. (my argument that smallchou is family didnt hold water)

their thanksgiving meal plan? hot pot… you heard me right… a boiling pot of water that you throw things in.

now besides the 4th of july, thanksgiving is probably the most american holiday that we celebrate – a whole day of eating, drinking, and football? and were going to have hot pot? not on my watch mom and dad.

so i went over to casa de chou, and learned how to turn this:

into this:

trust me, it was nothing short of a thanksgiving miracle.

so after the wine and meal at my house, i longboarded over to smallchous – to say hey to his family… aka eat some pie. the day of non-stop wine drinking made for an interesting ride. there sure are a lot of cracks on the roads of los altos.

now im not sure if it was the wine or the tryptophan, but i ended up having the following conversation with an 8 year old.

kid: i love playstation 2. its so fun!
me: yeah its aiite. i have a ps3, i think thats more fun
kid: ps2 is the best!
me: do you have a ps2?
kid: no.
me: do you want mine? ill go home right now and get it for you.
kid: no. i dont want it.
me: didnt you just say how much you loved ps2?
kid: i dont need it.
me: its not about what you need. do you want it? you can have it.
kid: its okay. i dont need it.

now at the time i was having the conversation, i kept thinking, man whats wrong with this kid? im offering him a ps2 and hes rejecting the offer? i have got to be the worst salesperson of all time.

but thinking about it now, that kid is really somethign else – something that we all talk about during the holidays – my own version of tiny tim. to be aware of wants/needs at such a young age is pretty special. i know for a fact that if someone had offered the 8 year old version of me a free ps2, id snatch that up in a heartbeat. i really hope his parents get him something awesome for christmas, he deserves it.

jade raymond + hideo kojima… oh my

jade raymond produced a pretty amazing multi platform game called assassins creed last year. girls that are into video games are pretty awesome. here she is presenting hideo kojima a lifetieme achievement award for my favorite games of all time – the metal gear solid series.

watching this video makes me want to play through them again. except that would take about 80 hours to do. it also makes me want to play assassins creed too. too bad i lent my buddy rob both of these games – probably a good thing.

also, you should pick up this awesome metal gear solid inspired t shirt from the angry ninja store:

i never made an assassins creed t shirt, but now maybe i will!

oh snaps. nike nintendos?

now they gone done it. taken two of my favorite things and mashed them up together nice and good. youre looking at the nike air classic bw nintendos. retro shoes? check. select button on the left ? check. start button on the right? check.

now if only they made nike air max 95s in this colorway, id have to make room in my closet for another shoebox.
