Yea I wasnt really thinking about cosplay, I wasn't aware of what the OP meant by video game related clothing.Daystar Clarion said:Don't presume to judge me.Don Savik said:Wow its always nice to know that people are so insecure about their hobbies that they wont even wear a shirt related to a game. Why would you want to be with someone that materialistic anyways?Daystar Clarion said:That's what I mean.GethBall said:I wouldnt want to wear any gaming related thing otherwise i'll look like this.
Which items of clothing do you think you could get away with.
Something that doesn't scream 'Hey, don't have sex with me'.
Because I think the N7 hoodie fills that role.
I'm engaged to the woman I've been in a relationship with since I was 15 years old, this has nothing to do with me being ashamed of my hobbie. I like stuff like Vergil's trenchcoat, but I also know that I could never pull it off. It's nothing to do with shame, it's about what I actually think I would look good wearing.
Say what you want, but outside cosplay environments, nobody looks good dressed like Cloud, or Squall or a myriad of other characters.

I've owned a "Don't make me go Zelda on you." Shirt that has that quote and a bunch of 8 bit Zelda icons... swords and bombs and such.
Wife has owned a "Home is where the Hearthstone is." shirt from Jinx.

Considering I'm a girl, I can kinda get away with some silly game related stuff.
Dresses, skirts and whatnot seem to be something I can get away with and since I'm a size 2 it really helps get away with it.
I mostly wear hoodies though and I have this. It always seems to stand out in a good way where I get compliments on it from people who have no idea what it is.

Hmmm... I have an Escapist t-shirt, with: 'living life one experience point at a time' on the front! The Escapist logo is on the sleeve... it's a bit more obvious though!
I also have this:
My favourite tshirt I own... Not sure why it glows though... some of the glowing just doesn't make sense, but at least you get the word plasmid!

So yeah. This:
And I may have picked up one or two other pieces of gaming paraphenalia, since I'm also one of those horrible people who woks for a game publisher.

This one is pretty subtle... and takes a few moments for even the most avid gamer to get the joke! Problem is it probably looks a bit odd to non-gamers!

Only got one thing I'm afraid, somewhere in my closet.
A black t-shirt with orange print. 'Black Mesa Hazard Team' on the front and a big lambda on the back. Not official Half-Life merch. Got it for getting second place in a tournament a long time ago.

I don't really have any game shirts, except one that I got for the release of Halo 3, but I never wear it since it just doesn't look that great. Normally I go for band shirts, my favourite one being my Doors shirt. Though, I do have one for Terminator that I wear very often.
It's just awesome!

Going off of the first couple pages, I do have to point out the obvious: There is a big difference between having game-gear/clothing and cosplay. For one cosplay is full-on character imitation. Personally I have only a few options because of my body-type.
As for the shirts/gear thing, I never have enough money to buy gamer shirts, and when I do I have to buy one size up because they never carry talls and they shrink after first-wash so a 3xl becomes a 2xl and I become sad. If I did have the kind of funding I wanted I would pick up some Zelda stuff, that shadow of the colossus shirt with a lil dude on my back stabbing a glyph, or some Bioshock stuff. I saw a full-on reproduction of an EVE Hypo that lights up, I thought that would make one hell of a nightlight/flashlight.
