subtlety is not my forte

October 8th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in design, food, store

angry ninja has never been the most subtle with his intentions while in the “dating” phase of a relationship. in fact, while in a relationship, the following conversation usually occurs:

me: why did you decide to go out with me?
lady: well, i knew you liked me.
me: whaaaaa?! how did you know that?
lady: well you wouldnt stop asking for my number, and then you wouldnt stop calling me, and then you added me on facebook, and wanted to hang out all the time…
me: so how did you know that i liked you?
lady: ….

so there you have it. i dont beat around the bush when it comes to my intentions with a lady. you shouldnt either. thats what this chinese food doggie bag take out box t shirt is all about.

if she doenst know you want to go out and eat some chinese food with her when she sees this shirt, you really have to step up your game there buddy.

san francisco 49ers ninja t shirt

October 6th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in design, sports, store

went to the niners-pats game yesterday. should have won. but it was steve young day, so i cant complain too much. got to see some of his highlights on the big screen, and hear him talk about the good old days - you know, back when we had an awesome qb.

so we were siting in the parking lot tailgating, when a guy walked up to us and asked if we wanted to buy some niners t shirts. now, these shirts looked horrible, like something i would wear if maybe i was in fifth grade. this got me thinking, “mike, you really need to make an awesome angry ninja 49ers t shirt.” so i did. here it is: niner ninja and niner ninjette.

and i cant forget the ladies:

a video game history lesson + super awesome megaman t shirt

October 2nd, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in design, gaming, reviews, store, tv

video games were painful back in the day. you see, before developers were able to put video games on cds, dvds, and blu ray discs - all which have abundant storage space, they had to cram them into cartridges. these cartridges were pretty primitive and could not hold very much information, which is why back in the day graphics and music were so horrible.

now i could easily deal with crappy graphics and the music grew on me, i was a kid back then, and hdtv, hdmi cables, 1080p, dolby and digital surround sound were all very far into the future. what i couldnt deal with was how frustrating games were in the 80s and 90s. you see, typically, a gamer is satisfied with about 20-30 hours of play time on a single game, or they feel cheated out of their $60. now this is not a problem because developers can simply make the game longer, since the media (dvd and blu ray now) has so much capacity.

back in the day, this was impossible with cartridges. they simply couldnt just add more length to a game, so instead, they made games nearly impossible, especially for little kids. i mean, i never beat super mario brothers until i was in college - too much hand-eye coordination needed.

i was reminded of this when playing megaman 9 (just released on ps3). see, instead of updating the game, capcom brought it back to its roots, so what you have is a level-wise short, but impossible game. how impossible you ask? lets just say that i died 3 times without making it past the first level. i almost threw my dualshock 3 into my hdtv in frustration.

which brings me to todays megaman inspired t shirt design. megaman sucks - not the game, but the character himself. he is weak, starts out every game with a dinky pea shooter, and every single bad guy is stronger, faster and takes more trickeries to beat.

this would not have happened if say, the game centered around mega ninja man. i mean with mega ninja man i could probably finish the game off and kill all the baddies in like 2 hours.

yum yum dim sum

September 26th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in design, food, store

i love dim sum. usually its eaten during brunch or lunch, but occasionally i get it for dinner or late night snack. my favorite dishes (in no particular order) are:

  • shrimp dumplings
  • pork dumplings
  • pork bun
  • custard bun
  • steamed sponge cake
  • shrimp rice noodles

it always surprises me when people tell me they have never had dim sum. i like to freak them out by ordering the chicken feet.

when i was growing up, my parents would kick me out of bed and force me to skip my saturday morning cartoons in order to beat the midday crowd at the restaurants. always totally worth it. i mean if you cant get out of bed for dim sum, there might be something wrong with you.

so now you know the inspiration behind these shirts. if you have never had dim sum before, definitely go try it out. if youre in my neck of the woods, ill go with you. and i promise not to order chicken feet.

chemist ninja mixes it up

September 18th, 2008 | 5 Comments | Posted in design, store

i had two roomates back for most of my time at cal. so when i posted the broken ninja shirt for one of them, the other one got all buttsore about not getting his own angry ninja t shirt.

little did he know, i had been working on a design for him all along. i mean seriously, i dont play favorites - i hated both of them equally. jk. they know i have nothing but love for both of them. hmm, i wonder why they never return my phone calls?

in any case, i present to you - chemist ninja - mixes it up.
