I picked up a green legend of zelda jacket at the same store at a local mall in my area. Very much an impulse buy but it will go nice with my green zelda hat that my Dad gave me back in Christmas of 88.
The one thing that was sad about all the retro stuff they had at the store in the mall was a black t-shirt with a image of the old NES gold cartridge for legend of zelda. The slogan under the image said "Pure Gold" and the cartridge had the logo for The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past. What kind of person would allow this slip up to happen?

regarding the "Things You Learn From Video Games" image... is that a poster? What does it say? I can't read it. Where is it available? The link above didn't take me to it... just the shirts.

They have some pretty cool shirts at Hot Topic. I'd wear that one with the NES controller on it or the Mario one would be good under a jacket.
Awhile back I got a shirt from them that was green and says "Make 7" on the front and says "Up Yours" on the back in big white letters. Its fun to wear in crowded areas.

I do not need to wear a tshirt or jacket to like video games.
No matter what anyone tells you, hot girls would not be caught dead with a guy wearing a Nintendo jacket.
Buy it and keep it in the closet. Im vain and I like getting laid.

I wouldn't want any of the crap either, if for no other reason than I hate this stupid retro fad.
Plus, I'm 25, a grad student and generally have to dress nice for work as I work with state and federal criminal justice professionals pretty often so I can't really put stuff like that in my wardrobe.
Plus, Kmac's right, no decent girl is going to even talk to a guy in Nintendo Jacket.

I do like the "Roots" one with the controller.
And I'm married, so I can buy any damn shirt I want.
(as long as my wife says it's okay)

I have both of these. The keychain is made of soft foam material which makes me wonder of the chain on the end will get ripped out easily.
And the "Things i learned from video games"...i have the shirt of that and i wear it to work (well, i do work at a game store so its ok)
About a month ago some dude walked in wearing one of these
That hat is terrible & really dorky.

Hot Topic is the anti Christ to Sanrio and Claire's...Sarareku does not like Hot Topic....sometimes we see Hello Kitty, and Sailormoon, and lots of anime/game stuff at Hot Topic, but it is sad because no one there knows what it all means.
I would only buy something from them if they had a Shining Force t shirt..Shining Force..= ) mmm..Shining Force..shining love..yay
