Cheers. That was moderately entertaining.

Always great to hear from a fan... ;) "
I don't think he meant the design. I think he meant the content, because it's a totally random game that nobody has heard of or cares about.

@CowMuffins: *grin* Nah, it's fine. I found Shadow's comment genuinely funny, no matter what he meant. It was such a blunt, tactless and uninformative thing to say that it just made me laugh out loud.
 
I kinda know what you mean, though - I designed it to be random and more of a super in-joke about Giant Bomb and the Bombcast rather than the game Schizoid. Hell, I've never even played it! Maybe it would have been better off if it were just some random thing I made without it being linked to a game? Or alternatively, maybe I should just make designs based on more popular games in the future.
 
Seriously, at the time it was just a design I whipped up as a bit of fun, giving me something to do and also pop my head up in the GB community as some dude who makes pictures. I'm not taking comments about it too much to heart. If I've learned anything by becoming more involved in an internet community, it's that you're never(!) going to come close to pleasing everybody.
 
Wait... the internet actually made me learn something about myself and grow as a person? I feel so dirty.

And I suppose people would be looking for a t-shirt to show their giant bomb pride, with the logo or luchadeer on the front. Having a random game like Schizoid isn't the best way to show that. I dunno.

@CowMuffins: *lil shrug* Hey, I just made the shirt. I have no idea what the GB sales plan is myself. Maybe it's because they had a buttload of overtly GB shirts at the start, and anybody who wanted to show said pride would have snaffled one of those designs. Maybe they just wanted to have something that went in a different direction. Hell, maybe they just thought it was funny and felt like getting it out there. As I said, I've not got access to the thought processes that are banging around in the crew's collective noggins.

@buzz_clik: Just saying, that might be going through that guy's brain and others who think like him. But instead of saying their actual thoughts, they just shorten it to "This shirt sucks".

*laugh* Yeah, I know. Just further proof that the internet isn't chock full of like-minded people. I'd feel compelled to offer up the reasons behind my comment, because I'd want to let the person know and also because I'm a rambling blowhard.
 
No matter. It boils down to the fact that I still got a laugh out of what Shadow said. Everyone wins!

I don't have a program that can do it, but I'd design a shirt that said: 
 
"You know when Giant Bomb is going to come up with a good community shirt?" Front 
   "NEVER!" Back

It's not that I hate the design.  If you're just looking for a shirt pattern having to do with neon space lobsters that have to work cooperatively, you can't do much better.  It does however, suck if what you're looking for is something Giantbomb-related.  But I just found out I won a shirt off that Halo contest so IT'S ALL GOOD!

Space Lobsters need to sell out before the new one gets put up.

You won a shirt from the contest that is still accepting entries? Or are you talking about something else?

 I was one of the winners for the one for editing wiki pages.  The one up now is for achievements in the game.

That is one cheerful Luchadeer. I approve. 
 
Whichever design wins though, please ship them to places not the US this time. I wanted a Lobster shirt ever so badly but I couldn't get one!

I would like a t-shirt with the standard smiling bomb GiantBomb logo.  Seems like an obvious choice.  I suspect they are "staff only."

I believe we have come to a general consensus that the overall opinion of the Giant Bomb community wants some sort of "NEVER" on the the shirt lol.
 
the fallout cartoon guy thing, holding the GB smiling bomb, and a caption that says:
 
"Stop  Playing?"
 
and on the back it says
 
"NEVER"
