No you're not . Good ol' Commander Keen and other Dos games from the early 90's...

Marines on stims benefit from greatly increased speed and reflexes, but are subject to long-term side effects including and not limited to insomnia, weight loss, mania/hypomania, seizures, paranoiac hallucinations, internal hemorrhaging, and cerebral deterioration." And looking at the pictures of a SC stimpack I'd say yes, that's what the last picture is.

From the Fallout wiki you see that the stimpack has two tubs that run from the head to the sides of the stimpack while the Star Craft stimpack has no tubs. So I'm going with Fallout. Only thing is the Fallout stimpack is red.

Yes, the shape is right for the Fallout stimpack, but the color looks more like Starcraft.

The last one is a stimpack from Fallout. Come on guys, you remember the PIPBOY 2000.

My first impression was that it was a Fallout stimpack on the right.

Is it sad that I've completed each game that these references came from?

I think the last one might be a plasmid from Bioshock

I think we've determined that it is a stimpak from Fallout, and while Fallout came out more recently than any of the other games on the list, it was still only 1997, which was 15 years ago.

*sigh* If only it was printed on an AA shirt.....FML!

Nonono. Energy tanks. More recognizable, anyway, and they give you much more than the little purple orbs. :3

I thought the second one was a Prince of Persia potion!

Color: "Aetna Blacklisted me." I wanted to laugh, but having dealt with Aetna this month with my Dad breaking his hip.... O.M.G. This is so depressingly accurate!

Hey woot, is this shirt going to be available for post-first-day sales? You're costing the artist second-day commissions!

Oh wait...

Full Coverage is listed as sold out with no second day, and later, sales. The stats do no list the total number of sales. The stats end with the last sale but no numbers. We need sales and numbers!!!

Ask and you shall receive, apparently.

I'm wondering if it's an artist who doesn't want his name made public. Either because of negitive connections to the name, or because the shirt was heavily edited and he didn't want his name on it anymore.

Or maybe a staff member made it, and they don't want a real name published, or aren't eligable for standard contract because of employer?

I believe these are done by woot employees and there have been lots over the years, especially the text designs or political commentaries.

My first thought about the origin of the syringe was Duke Nukem, seeing as it was released around the same time as the rest of the games in the list.

Ok guys so I NEVER post (more of a lurker on the discussion pages) but wow, as a medical professional, this has been my fav shirt made yet aside from the original unstealthiest ninja print. I mean who doesn't love video games and medicine! ♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪ cheers!¡!

Definitely wish there was some random meat reminiscent of "Castlevania" in there. When I'm low on food, I crack my whip at a wall and, BAM, fresh meat.
