Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Many Smacktivision games recognize high-scoring players with special merchandise like this lovely shirt. Consult the various game instruction booklets for details on how to become a member of one of our high score clubs!

I hope distressing wasn't absolutely required. I don't much care for it myself.

Love the colors. I'm so pumped for the colors in this derby

LOL! An Activsion shirt! Classic! I sure hope this prints.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

The colors! The colors! So good!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

lmao I love it!

Hopefully it won't meet the same end as ET for Atari.

I can't stress enough how badly I want this shirt. This shirt not printing would be a crime against humanity. Or at least a crime against people who love awesome shirts!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

YES. My roommate and I have becoming experts on curling since the Olympics started. We're going to join the US team.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

HURRY!!!! Clean!

A definite chance for me! This is wicked cool! X3

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

This is great -- reminds me of a shirt you would see in the movie adventure land or something.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

This seems to be made of pure awesome!!!

I remember that game. Man it was hard. The gators would bite off your broom if you weren't careful : )

Yeah, and the scorpions would crawl UP your broom and sting your face. I hate that part.

This is straight-up hilarious, and totally in the spirit of what this derby theme is all about.

GMV - although I look really, really awful in yellow, so I don't think I'll be purchasing. But I adore the design.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I know a friend who would go apenuts over this. I am also going apenuts.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I love this with all my heart. Also, go Team Canada! They're taking both curling golds home!!!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I must have this shirt. I want so badly for this to print. Awesome work. Best of luck to you.

JustJiggles wrote:I love this with all my heart. Also, go Team Canada! They're taking both curling golds home!!!

Sorry.. I guess they wouldn't be taking them home since they already are at home... Regardless, great shirt!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Thanks. I've been avoiding yellow myself. If this prints, I'll finally have one and be close to finishing my color collection.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

This made me slap the table and laugh! Activision had such an awesome marketing campaign in the 80's. I remember trying to collect all the patches. Pitfall, Barnstorming, and Chopper Command were my favorite!

GMV!

Wow, I was just looking at those patches in my Activision catalog (I have a collection of Atari-era user manuals)! I was too poor to afford anything beyond Pitfall for myself but I remember playing a lot of the others at Montgomery Wards after school.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I've always wondered how to get into playing curling.

I want this shirt more than I have ever wanted any Woot shirt ever.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

YES!!!!!!!!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Thanks Marzipan, Jiggles, Ted, and lonelypond!

Yes, this is the official training software of the 1984 Olympic curling team.

This is so good Robert. Much more than I expected from the thumbnail.

Yes please! I want it!

Great work!

So true, the thumbnail didn't do the whole shirt justice. Kinda makes me interested in curling...

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Thanks Walmazan and Southpaw!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

The Swedes totally snatched the gold medal in women's curling away from Canada! This shirt is excellent in yellow to celebrate Swedish victory! :P

zigjustice1980 wrote:I want this shirt more than I have ever wanted any Woot shirt ever.

Yeah me too. This one has my inner child screaming. I may not buy another woot shirt if it doesn't print.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Only a videogame superhero could throw such a smooth 42-lb. stone--airborne with rainbow exhaust, no less! I'm totally into it!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Awesome, love the vintage retro vibe!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I really like this.

I don't like the distressing effect much either.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Absolutely agree. When you nail the vintage look and colors this well you don't need distressing.

This has clearly survived since the 80s in pristine condition, like it's some kind of precious treasure. Gotta love that.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

'Atom Bombs cereal - grow inhumanly big and strong!'

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

colors are good indeed, very nice

I wish I could wear yellow!! It would be a shame to buy this and only be able to wear it at home in the dark! Totally brought back memories of my childhood. I'm voting for it and I might just have to buy it as a gift for someone.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Just your curling stone from your preview icon would do it for me... I don't need the rest of the story...

This is the awesomest shirt ever. i would buy it in a heartbeat

Yeah, that's the weird thing -- it was at Goodwill but in a Mylar bag. Isn't that odd?

Is that clinic at the Granite Curling Club by any chance? If so, perhaps I'll be your instructor... wearing this damn fine shirt!!!

Sadly, I am about 1000 miles south of you. But I bet there will be more than one curler in this fine apparel =).

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Almost didn't click because of the curling, but I'm glad I did because this is WIN on so many levels! GMV.

Thanks Joe! I think I'm probably getting more votes for the Curling reference but for me this was really an Activision homage first. Nice to know you're digging the classic cartridge vibe!

Omelets made great I kinda love it!!!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

This is genius, Robert. Great job!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I want this shirt to win!! xDD My friend already said he'd want this shirt since it has curling on it..so..I've got my fingers crossed!!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Thanks jejey, infinity, and moon!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Thank you for including alligators and leaving out the brooms. DH hates when the sweepers come out in curling, and starts yelling "why don't you just give medals for zamboni driving?!?!" Whatever. He would prefer if curling was done this way, and I think this is a great shirt.

DHs always know best! Alligators would make it a truly challenging sport...

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

I've attended two curling clinics in the last few years, and intend to join a league come October. So NEED! Also need the red one, but that seems less likely to print.

Wear it over a turtleneck in a color that looks good on you. You can choose from any of the colors that are on the shirt.

Cool, a real curler! Your league needs this as a uniform!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and votes! This was an exciting week -- my first long fog in years!

I hope Smacktivision's vision of retro Olympic gaming inspired enough people to get it to print but I realize I'm going up against some of the most talented and prolific artists here at Woot. Either way, thanks to everyone and congrats to all the artists!

If this shirt doesn't print on Sunday I'm boycotting Woot.

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

No. No. NOOOOOOOOOOO.

Aw, maaaaannnnn!!!!!!!!

Well - I'm probably not going to boycott, but I fervently hope thatrobert has this printed elsewhere. SRSLY - I'll buy 2.

I really wanted this one too. My boyfriend and I already fought over who would get to buy it. I won. But now I see I have lost. Oh irony! Hope it gets an HM.

Dang, I was really hoping for this one too. My girlfriend is a curler and was hoping to get it for her bonspiel tourney at the end of the month. I would be a happy man if you choose this for editors choice!

Re: Curling Adventure! New from Smacktivision!

You have to give yourself a Best Losers award for this. You just have to.

I agree, it's an absolute crime this was never printed. Nothing against the 3rd place winner, but I'd have rather had this.

Agreed. Could NOT BELIEVE this didn't print. Someone please alert us if we can buy this elsewhere.

Not to beat a dead horse, but, I really wanted this shirt...
