"Hey buddy, you know a lot about video games. Which console do you think I should buy?"

"Well, that depends. If you're a more serious gamer you probably want a PS3 or XBox 360, but the next-gen consoles are going to be coming out soon, so you'd be outmoding yourself if you got one of those."

"OK…Isn't the next-gen Nintendo out?"

"Yup, the Wii U. Are you eight years old?"

"No."

"Are you eighty years old?"

"No."

"Would you pay several hundred dollars for a machine that you will only use to play the newest Mario and Zelda titles?"

"No."

"Then don't get the Wii U."

"What about a PC? That way I could always be up to date."

"Sure. You could also waste away under the anxiety of dropping framerates every time a new title is released. Or you could buy a new console-priced video card every year."

"Jeez. You're making this all sound very unappealing."

"Listen, nobody said that trying to have fun was going to be fun."

This shirt tells the world: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I say I'm a geek you will agree."

We call this color: The Future Is A Black Xbox
