So there's no way I'm going to make it to PAX, but I also desperately want this shirt. Is there any way I could buy a shirt for me and one for someone who is attending who would be willing to mail my shirt to me? If this is a no-go, I completely understand.

The only stipulation is that the person needs to pick up the shirt in person at the show. If someone wants to buy 2 and mail one to you, that's fine by me. They just need to, you know, get it in person at the show =P

UPDATE!

I'm thinking about goin w/a blue shirt instead of black. Color choices, some extra text, and some small edits aside, this is near-final. I'll figure out the pricing as soon as I can. I'm gonna try my damnedest to keep the price under $20 but I can't say for certain just yet. We don't have to worry about shipping this time since I'm gonna look for a place that prints locally but we still gotta cover 9 staff shirts (Jeff, Vinny, Brad, Dan, Alex, Rorie, Jason, Abby, Ben) as well as setup/color costs among under 30 of us so we'll see what happens. I'll def have the price set and do another check w/ya'll to see who's still gonna be interested before moving forward but PAX is close and I gotta get this stuff set up ASAP =P

Wait, stupid question - is it just the new design or are you also reprinting some of your older designs too?

These are one time prints only so past designs are no longer accessible. Tho the Vib-Ribbon one ended up on the official store as a glow-in-the-dark hoodie. So apart from that one I mean.

UPDATE

So, I found out the guy I used to use to get shirts screened is no longer screening shirts. This being the case, I'll have to find someone up in my current area that does screen printing. I think unless we hit around 50 pre-orders by next week, I'll prob have to scuttle this thing because otherwise it'd prob end up being too expensive for us to print the shirts along with covering the cost of free shirts for the staff. Typically places that do prints cost less as you screen more and with each color costing at least $45 to set up the screen, it'll all add up. Ideally I'd like to keep it to < $20 a shirt but... yea, not gonna happen if we can spread the cost to enough people. That plus finding a new printer plus making the actual design is all just a bit much for a low quantity of shirts. Anyway, we'll see how things pan out!

So none of this money is going to Giant Bomb?

There's no money. I calculate the cost of the production of the shirts, the cost of the shipping, and the cost of the free shirts that're made for the staff then figure out how much the shirts are for the people who ordered them to cover those costs. I've received some tips in the past but this is a non-profit fan thing. Which is why I'm not positive I'll be able to swing it this time but I'm gauging interest to see if I should put in the work =]

I continue to see/listen/read Patrick and Austin's work. I'm excited to see how Drew's Cloth Map grows. I ended up following and being into Nick Robinson's stuff before I found out he used to be an intern. Matt Kessler is a dope ass guy. This all being said, I have less free time than ever so I can't even keep up w/GB podcasts and videos anymore... But I follow em all on twitter to at least keep up w/what ppl are doing.

Haven't listened to the podcast, but off the top of my head, this is an image of Jeff that I've seen used as a meme:

I've generally seen it used as a "I've been in [video game/piece of software] for too long" or something similar to indicate spending hours on the computer and completely losing track of time. Not necessarily VR. I've seen it here and there, but for the life of me I can't find many instances of it through Google searches, so I suspect it must have some nickname I don't know and it's likely completely dissociated from Jeff's name.

No idea with Drew, I've only seen Drew memes on this site, or threads about this site. He works best in gif form.

In regards to Jeff, I remember doing this one a long while back. It didn't hit meme levels but it got around a bit.

My mouse cursor doesn't appear when I'm over the video seek area of a video that's playing in fill browser mode. And while we're on fill browser mode, putting the fill browser option in the gears (options) menu rather than on the right w/the full screen icon is brutal. If it's possible, please change this back to something that makes sense -_-;;

Why is that brutal? It's right next to the embiggen option... we figured it made more sense there than having it hidden as a fullscreen hover option... I've talked to users who never knew it was an option because it only appeared when you hovered to click on fullscreen.

I'm not seeing that problem with the cursor. What browser / os are you on?

I'm using Chrome.

Personally feel like having all the screen size options under a single icon would be better than to have them spread across two different icons. Especially since it's under "Settings" which is not where I'd click for screen options (After the change I instinctively went to the full screen button and clicked it looking for fill browser). You mention it's next to the embiggen option and that'd be a bit better but that is also under the "Settings" cluster =P

My suggestion would be to change the icon to be less a full screen only looking thing and make the tooltip say "Screen Sizes". That should make it super obvious to anyone moving around the controls as well as maybe hooking ppl in who didn't know there was more than just a full screen option. The fill browser option is what makes the GB video player hands down better than every other player out there and it's a shame it feels hidden.

Here's a quick mockup of a screen size icon.

Sorry for the harsh language calling it "brutal". It just felt like a step in the wrong direction but maybe that's just me.
