Shirt.Woot

Oh wow. I just had a nerdgasm.

YES. Do want.

Definitely geeky, definitely worth buying...just like all the other W00t! shirts. After a second and it sinks in, you realize you're wearing the best shirt ever...

MITHRIL tunic!

must. acquire. shirt.

I covet this shirt. And now in exchange for money it is my precious...

One shirt to rule them all.....


This might be my first Anvil tee if my pocketbook agrees with me.

Something really weird happened. My fingers purchased it before my brain was able to catch up and realize what was even going on.

Are Gollum and Gohma related?

Okay, nerd argument here: Why would Gandalf tell Frodo to take the One Ring? It's the most dangerous, evil object in all of Middle Earth.

It would be the equivalent of Zelda telling Link that the best way to protect himself in the wild would be to tap into the Triforce of Power that Gannon holds, and which, in turn, morphs him Gannon into a pig monster.

Okay, nerd moment done.

I'm sure everyone knows this but just in case



It's a zelda screen with Lord of the ring characters replaced.

I can hear the music chiming along tin-ly in my head to this shirt.

Does wearing this make me invisible?

I wish this was an actual game because I'd play it.

I guess this could work for either the Rings films or the upcoming Hobbit films. Judging from the map and the items, I ascertain this is The Hobbit territory we're parodying here.

Though (ahem) Gandalf doesn't give Bilbo any of those three items. Neither did he give Frodo all three for that matter.

(adjusts glasses and snorts)

I'd play that game...probably not well, but still...

I'd get one if this were straight out of the original game without the changes.

One does not simply walk into the Goron Mines.

So want this shirt.
So disappointed in the fit of my first Anvil woot shirt ("Hang in there" - black)
So.. Won't be buying this one, sadly.

"Casual Friday" came on an AA shirt though (thank goodness), but black seems to be all Anvil now

I'm sorry to hear this

Because Gandalf was going to see Saroman, and Gandalf thought he could possibly be evil. That, plus the fact that Bilbo asked Gandalf to give the ring to Frodo, so he complied with the old hobbit's wish.

Honestly I would have bought this, had it just been the original screen from Zelda.

The LOTR reference killed it. I would be labeled as a loser, instead of an awesome 90s kid for wearing this.

Not disappointed in the design though! Still awesome and cute at the same time. It's just the fit I don't like. It will still get tons of happy wear around the house. I just prefer to not go out in a shirt with a neck hole that looks like I'm trying to shrink a mumu down to t-shirt size :P

Now if woot would offer me a choice of blanks, even say with a higher price for an AA shirt, I would gladly still buy. Hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge..

It was a tumultuous time for our nation. The clear beverage craze gave us all a reason to live. The information superhighway was not quite ready for the average person to see what some nerd thinks about Star Trek, but a teenager by the name of Gore would change that shortly. The domestication of the dog continued unabated. Meanwhile in the far east, a little known domino company was cranking out games that would change the course of human history and prolong my lack of contact with the opposite sex for some three years. It was during this time that i learned the natural progression of the land of hyrule. So let me just say that everyone knows you get the candle, then the bombs, then the five heart containers and the 100 rubbie. THEN you get the ring....completely unbelievable.....these MTV, microwave oven, I want it now kids!

Aside from that glaring mistake, and the mushroom where my beloved bomb counter should rest, awesome freaking shire shirt. In for 1.

Damnit Woot I only have one body I need covering. I am going to have to switch to some sort of rotating shirt schedule to use more than one shirt per day or acquire more torsos to clothe...

(in reference to the post pointing out that he's getting the ring) Exactly what I thought when I first saw it. I immediately looked through the comments for somebody that saw this as I did.

Still an awesome shirt, though.

This is exactly what I don't like about it. They've hobbitted up Zelda. stupid hobbititises...

Thanks! I'm glad you're at least happy with the design.

I like the idea of different blanks being available and just adjusting the price based on which one is picked. It seems like this would make a lot of people happy. I also think it would be cool if there were different shirt color options to choose from, although I could see that becoming a little too complicated for woot. Someday maybe :P

I had an assignment in 7th grade to write a complaint to a company in order to practice writing a formal business letter. I wrote to Pepsi asking why the had discontinued Crystal Clear Pepsi. They claimed it had not met sales expectations, a claim I still don't quite believe to this day. Ah, I still remember the nicely citrus/cola blend.

I love it. The mushroom counter is an awesome touch.

This is the first design printed on Anvil blanks that I have wanted. What to do, what to do...

Huge bonus points for doing a true 8-bit design! So many supposedly "8-bit" Woot shirt designs are total cheats, where the graphics are styled with jagged edges that are reminiscent of the 8-bit days, but on closer inspection they are free-drawn with irregularly-sized mismatched rectangles instead of realistic square pixels. (See, for example, the 1-up coffee cup.) This one is drawn using an accurate square pixel grid for maximum authenticity. (In fact I suspect it was created at the original resolution of 256x224 and then up-scaled. Maybe there's a cheat somewhere, but if there is, it's well-disguised.)

Many artists here have the nostalgia for 80's video game graphics, but few have the chops to actually work within the limitations of the original medium. I salute you.

Of course, given a few tweaks, this could easily be a Hobbit shirt, as well. After all, Bilbo was the one who found all three of those items..

Though it occurs to me that Bilbo was the one who gave Frodo the mithril shirt and Sting, not Gandalf...

I obviously smoke too much pot!

Graphics placement is way too high... my beard would cover half the image.
Why ya gotta do me like that, woot?

This is so cute! I should wear this to GenCon Indy this year! (Never played Zelda, but I'm a huge retrogaming geek - on the C64 back in the day, currently via DOSBox.)

SHUTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
