I've got a friend who plays lots of games and drinks lots of coffee so I figured for the holidays coming up I'd try and get something that combines the two. Unfortunately so far I've found not many companies actually sell mugs (which I guess shouldn't be a surprise, they make games, not coffee cups).

Any suggestions where I should look?

Sites I've found so far that sell mugs: Valve, Doublefine, Thinkgeek (even though the game ones are mostly the valve ones again).

I think Valve is honestly all you really need.

I really, really want a coffee mug with the X-com logo on it.

But there are dreams that cannot be. And there are storms we cannot weather.

$16 for the mug

Plus shipping it came out to $23.

Seems pretty good price for having any mug you can imagine.

I've had a good experience with printing websites in the past, but I like official stuff because it's generally higher quality. I own a Black Mesa mug from Valve, which I'm really happy with. I really want the Mega Man E tank mug from ThinkGeek...

What I really love about the Valve mugs is their subtlety. When I first started using the Black Mesa mug, people thought it was an actual research facility or something.

I really wish zazzle would print on black mugs. That XCOM logo looks good on that mug, but it'd be really great if it were a black mug instead of white. I went ahead and bought the 1940s Aperture Science mug from the Valve store, but I'm considering getting the one with the modern logo for myself.

I have that mug, and it's definitely my favorite.  Valve makes some good merchandise, so I'd stick with them for guaranteed quality. And, if something goes wrong, they're very accommodating (heck, they even threw in some extra posters once, when they sent me the wrong item).

I think this stuff looks neat, but the problem I have is that I don't drink anything from a mug. So I have no need for this stuff. Curse my not liking hot beveragesness!

That Aperture mug is my most favorite mug. And I have a lot of mugs (and maybe a slight mug buying problem). It's a great size, perfect handle, and it has held up well in the dishwasher.

Would also look good in skyranger gray!

...

I really like XCOM.

I can attest to this. My GF bought an Archimedes plush from their online store, and when it arrived, it had a hole in its chest, and some of the "blood" was faded. They sent her another one, free of charge. I have Ellis' t-shirt, Chell's tank top, my own Archimedes plush, and the Steam-Powered Tales comic, all from Valve. I'll definitely buy from them again, they make good stuff.

Norcy, can I suggest buying your friend some coffee to go with the mug? I've been told K-cups are really useful.

Man, I wish I could buy those Valve mugs here in the UK (without the massive delivery charge / Import tax I mean)

Somebody wouldn't happen to know a place would they?

Has anyone made a coffee mug with Godot's visor lines on it? Maybe a quote of his on the back?

If I worked for the FBI or CIA or something, I would totally get a Black Mesa mug.
