Hi TL! First blog here. I want to save a proper introduction for my next blog but I had to write about my day today. I read a blog a few days ago about seeing a guy in a Day9 shirt on campus. I thought “That’s pretty cool. But I never see anything like that around my school ;_;” Well today changed that! And it totally made my day.
It was a foggy, ugly morning as it has been this entire week here at Delaware Valley College. I woke up to see that my roommate’s boyfriend had spent the night and to my dismay I see that they are pretty much naked. Idk I've been having roommate troubles lately but that's a whole other story.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AwBY1.jpg)
Upon seeing the nakedness I turned back around feeling awkward and laid there pretending to sleep while they took approximately ten thousand years to get dressed and leave. I then dragged myself out of bed to study for a midterm (by that I mean I studied for ten minutes and then fucked around on the internet) and then I head out to take said midterm.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/lD1jN.jpg)
How I spend 80% of my time on the internet (yes that is a laptop)
I’m walking down the misty path towards my class (which is located in a trailer in a weird parking lot like ten minutes away) and I see a figure coming up the path towards me. I think nothing of it until I notice something on his shirt.
It was a golden symbol that I knew all too well. However, I wasn’t wearing my glasses so I thought I was seeing things. Surely no one at this hick school played Starcraft! Impossible! Until we crossed paths and indeed I could see he was wearing a Protoss shirt.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jd2Xo.jpg)
I was so choked up with excitement that alas I couldn’t even speak. (Cookies for anyone who knows the original drawing)
Instead of saying “Oh cool shirt” or anything of the sort I just walked by with a pokerface but on the inside I was like
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/e86xM.jpg)
I totally wish I said something! Darn me and my social skills. The last few weeks I also keep running into this kid who looks a lot like Day9 and now Protoss shirt guy? What is going on around here?!
So later on I went to the Hmart with my friends, ate some delicious Korean food and now I'm here playing the 7th Terran mission on bw and this happens

So yeah spending my Friday night on the computer.
Also please have this Zergling I drew in between classes the other day since you had to look at my horrible doodles.
+ Show Spoiler +
So TL I'll leave you with this question: have you ever seen anyone at your campus/school establishment/public places with Starcraft related apparel? If so do you say anything to them?
Thanks for reading!
PS: Protoss shirt dude if you're out there, let's be friends lol ^___^

I gagged whole reading this. It was way too cute to be remotely safe for viewing while eating.
|
no apparel sighting for me so far T_T Only guy I know who plays sc2 is a junior who's a bronze terran, lol. Oh well it's better than nothing!
|
I saw someone wearing a Zerg short in the supermarket a few months ago. Sadly I wasn't wearing a SC-shirt at the time so it felt awkward to just scream 'Zerg OP'. Besides that he kinda looked like a tool, so meh :/
|
These drawings...
I can't...
resist...
LOVING THE ACCURACY AND DRAWING OF EMOTIONS!! 5/5//5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5//5/5/5/5/
|
Only seen a handful of shirts so far, on the other hand like 1 in 10 desktop backgrounds i catch a glimpse of on peoples laptops at my university are either SC2 or LOL related.
|
Dawm thats one baller zergling you drew
Hopfully everything works out well.
|
Jesus... This thread is full of cuteness :l
|
Is the 3rd picture originally from Beelzebub?
|
Nice blog :D
But im confused, free nude girls. Time to take our the camera?
|
Too adorable to be legal.
I haven't seen anyone wearing a SC shirt outside of LANs/conventions, but I have a couple and I get comments on them sometimes. You should try wearing one yourself, more people play than you think!

picture commentary makes this great :D

Awesome doodles. You should just doodle yourself a design and get the shirt pressed.

omg the only thing missing from this blog is butterflys and rainbows and unicorns.
all of my roommates are starcraft players, and even some guy who does his laundry here (honestly i have no idea where he lives). I met one guy who said he was really good at starcraft at my univ. (this was 3 years ago so no sc2) and we played a few games. That's pretty much it.
|
Lol, nice post.
And no I've never seen anyone wearing anything SC2 related, all the gamers I know play CS 1.6, the only RTs game that is popular here imho is WC3, and that's because of DotA. :/
|
The cuteness. It's so cute it actually hurts.
But to answer your question: Haven't seen people wear Starcraft apparel but I know of TLers here.
|
Hahaha so cute. I love the pictures, hope you find the guy.
|
|
|
Cute!
I found out I worked at the same company as coLrsvp last year when I wore the TL winged horse t-shirt to a training session and got contacted afterwards; that was pretty random and cool.
In the meantime, I keep a few SC shirts in the wardrobe rotation to see if it catches anyone's eye; no luck yet. =/
|
i liked the protoss logo in the eyes it made me laugh
|
I once saw a guy walking my way with a TL shirt on so I was like "hey man nice shirt!" but he was wearing headphones and he just stared at me and kept walking
|
Whenever I wear this hat I usually get at least one or two smiles.
![[image loading]](http://www.jinx.com/content/prod/609p_4c_1m.jpg)
|
I wore my TL jersey to the first LAN I went too...
I was getting stares from inside the place, when I was in the parking lot. It was awesome. :D

With all these threads popping up lately there's something I just can't understand...
Why do so many people not say anything when they see people with sc/tl/etc gear on? I mean, my first reaction is "hey a starcraft shirt" or something like that...
|
To this day I've never seen another person wearing a TL shirt other than myself. Also, only one person has ever had the idea of saying something when I was wearing the shirt at San Jose State. I have seen a dude with a Terran shirt, but I'm kind of racist when it comes to this game so I just chose not to berate him with my inner hatred.
edit: I think we as a SC community should come up with some kind of nerd, gang sign to identify ourselves as part of the SC community. Surely some pro player could endorse this and begin the trend....
|
I got one of those HOPE shirts with Idra's face on them that was going around in beta. No one has said anything to me yet other than "Who is that on your shirt".
I, of course, respond with "The new Obama".

Whoa whoa whoa.
Delaware Valley? I'm in the area. Although I don't have a protoss shirt.
|
I've worn my TL shirt to class at least once every 2 weeks since September. I haven't had anyone come up to me about it yet which I find a bit surprising. There are quite a few koreans at my university, not that being korean implies knowledge of starcraft lol.
Maybe I need to spend more time around the engineering building ^^
|
Those doodles were awesome~! Supremely cute. I can relate to the social awkwardness too. Or maybe it's social apathy? Like I'll see a cool looking dude in an SC t-shirt and think "meh theres like thousands of those guys on the internet" and then not think about it anymore.
|
Other than my CSL team, I once saw someone wearing a handsome nerd hoodie across the street. I didn't stop him or anything, didn't seem to be too big a deal since my CSL team is like 20-40 members strong now lol, and the DC area has a pretty enormous TL community at this point
|
Five out of five cutes. Blog of the day.
|
I wore my TL shirt to class once. One guy on campus noticed and we played some, but I haven't seen him since he transfered. 
I doubt anyone in my area plays too much SC anyways.
|
It's time to buy a SCII related T-shirt and walk around my neighborhood :3
|
Just out of curiosity, do you read Hyperbole and a Half? The style of your post reminded me of that site.
|
I like the part where you were playing BW 
|
I wear my TL shirt at least once every other week to class and have yet to have someone say anything about it, or even give some hint of recognition. This just might suggest there aren't any gamers in my classes. But the thing is, I go to an art college...and my building is also the interactive game design building .____.
It seems that my fellow SC players here are as socially inept as the artist stereotype implies. Either that or I'm not liking the games people here are playing (and subsequently might be making in a few years).
|
LOL 5/5
Need to buy myself some SC-related apparel
|
I tried hard not to smile. I failed something fierce.
|
lol too cute with all the pictures x.x I wish I had a protoss shirt.
|
I haven't seen anybody with one at my school, but I'm planning on buying a TL shirt. :3
Cute pictures!
|
I wear my Protoss shirt out sometimes but I never noticed anyone who recognises it. :<
Sometimes I wear the Protoss shirt and my bf wears his Horde shirt and in my mind theatre we're two sick nerd ballers with sun rays lighting our path as we walk on the streets.
I blame Singapore's shy culture.
|
I wrote that original blog so... my story is there
|
Now...about those naked room mates...hehe. Nice blog
|
That was soo cute 5/5
I wish I had some SC gear.
|
Definately saw someone wearing an EG shirt at my school. Like you I was way to shy to comment on it.
|
|
|
|
|
5/5 would read again. Doodles for the win! On topic, no. I have never seen anyone with Starcraft or TL apparel running around our campus
|
I smiled the whole time reading this post interesting day you've had
|
Every time I wear my TL shirt to school/outside I'm just waiting for someone to recognize it. Reading this just makes me want to buy more E-Sports/SC related apparel :O
|
Being a starcraft player is like being a wizard in Harry Potter. Its cool talking about when in the vicinity of Hogwarts. When outside in the muggle world you must be cautious about displaying your wizardness if you dont want to weird people out because they dont understand. Subtle hints are good though.
Also taka taka taka
|
Hey dude I <3 ur story. It was friggin awesome. Hmm haven't seen many guys at uni wearing sc2 apparel. ACtually none. I live in copenhagen :/ But I hope one day I will, and I will be wearing my terran jinx t shirt and it will be awesome to met a fellow sc2er randomly on the street

LOL sadly that's accurate, but also hilarious!

omg this is amazing xD
I'll be your friend.
Seroiusly, anyone and everyoen with any skill in drawing should have these kind of pictures in them. I'd read any blog that contains them.

LOL! This is exactly how every "closet gamer" in the world feels like :D

=D You should say hi to people wearing sc shirts man! SC People are generally super friendly. I sometimes wear my 1a2a3a hoody or my handsomenerd bunny happy face t-shirt and I've had people just walk up to me and be like "Sup nice shirt!" (For example today as I arrive early and am waiting in the halls for my anthro class to start!). I even once had it happen mid-workout at the gym. It's pretty cool~ defintely say hi to people from sc community even if you dont know them (unless they're clearly busY) !! :D
|
Saw a guy in an EG jersey today :o Guess he was in the MLG spirit or something
|
Great story was great! =)
I wear my 1a2a3a shirt but havent seen anyone else with sc2 gear yet~
|
These are the best illustrations; soooo much better than the rage comic thiss would have been on reddit. They describe the situation so well and are so cute! Please make more <3
|
I wear my zerg rush t-shirt on campus on a regular basis but I've yet to see anyone else with similar apparel or been approached about it. I've seen a couple people with WoW hats or shirts but who cares about them?
|
I love wearing my nerd shirts around campus (eg jersey, sup son shirt, TL esports shirt). A few weeks ago after I was walking out of my math class one of the guys in my class was like "hey, nice shirt" as I had my EG jersey on and the retarded me only managed to say thanks instead of talking to him more @__@ fuuuu
|
first of all: 5/5 for boobs AND cookies, what a combination!
second: i run around at campus with nerd shirts too, but a tiny bit better disguised ^^ one is the "Zealot Burger - Ready to serve!" and the other one a "powered by redstone", noone hit on my yet though, but i don't have them for very long yet.
|
I have 2 zerg shirts that I wear on campus pretty often, and my bag is the sc2 zerg messenger bag. I did see a guy with a sc2 shirt on campus one day and I made sure to get his real id to add him lol. My life is starcraft 2 soooooo I jump on chances to talk to people about it XD
|
First day at campus I found Julmust and he guided me around. He's the first TLer I've ever met! That was cool ^^
|
Been wearing my Prime hoody around campus. I've gotten around a million comments about the interesting button portion on the front, but nobody has recognized it yet.
|
I never found any one with a starcraft apparel, i wear my TL shirt all the time and nobody notice it. I'm a sad panda

so true :D
and to OP: great first blog, awesome pictures :>
|
Yea I have, it was Empyrean. Or rather, he spotted me with a pony shirt.
|
I bet a lot more people will be having these kinds of double-takes after these shirts make their way out and about. I know I'd do a double take if I saw someone in the "TOSS" shirt from this company!
scroll to halfway down
|
|
|
Haha the pictures are great.
I wear my Zerg shirt every once and a while. I go to a Tech school so I've seen a few people with Starcraft shirts, haven't said anything though haha.
|
I saw a guy at work wearing a SC shirt I immediately left my register and talked to him. hahaha
|
Nice pictures =D definitely made me smile.
These blogs make me wonder why I didn't do a campus tour with SC-related apparel on when I was in university.
5/5
|
|
|
Heh pretty cute. Hope you find mr. Protoss shirt guy.
|
|
|
Adorableness to start my day ^..^
|
On my campus i saw a guy wearing a Prime.we hoodie, and just yelled of in the distance "marineking!!" Without a thought he turned and just yelled back FIGHTING!!
|
I wear my TL shirt at least once every 2 weeks or so, but never got anyone to come up to me to say hi because of that. A female colleague who never played SC or knew about TL once made a comment on my nice shirt tho
|
i was wearing my ESPORTS shirt when some guy complimented it and gave me a high five.
|
I hope you and protoss guy find each other and exchange a giant hug. Cutieeeee
|
I wish I was protoss shirt guy to a girl All I get whenever I wear gamer shirts is weird looks and the odd "what does that mean?"
|
When I wear my gosu shirt a lot of people ask what "gosu" means, but they pronounce it with it accented at the end, so it's goSU
|
I go to a little hick school too but there's 3-4 people on campus not including the ~10 people that play on my floor that i see wearing sc2 apparel. also, the first time i saw someone watching day9 in a lecture i wet myself, but apparently its quite a common occurrence
|
Once when I was in Panera (nice deli kind of restaurant) I saw a guy wearing a yellow Day-9 shirt. But I didn't realize it until I walked by him. Then I was like OMG O_O. I decided not to talk to him though since he seemed he might have been in his 30s (or late 20s) and I'm in high school so it would have been awkward.
|
Thats a nice zergling drawing!
And ya I run into people with starcraft shirts since I attend a pretty big college. I'll start up a conversations a lot, but it depends on my mood and how feasible it is. Like, I don't call out anyone from across the courtyard or anything but if I pass by and they look friendly enough I'll say something
|
Oh wow thanks everyone for such nice responses ^.^ what a nice thing to wake up to! <3
|
D'aww. I'm predicting some Amélie-esque hijinks between you and Mr. Protoss Shirt. Update us if/when you find him again!
|
Haha, this was great. Love the doodles, lol.
I've actually gone to college a few times wearing my EG Shirt.
|
I was at a club seeing Kill the Noise with some friends. I had been playing starcraft all day prior so when I turned around and saw a Terran symbol I figured I was just seeing things. Did a double take and saw a guy with a Terran shirt on pointed it out to my friend who played terran and we ended up getting his character code haha.

Nice blog.
Never seen a shirt myself, and I don't have one atm either.

You'd love studying at my university for sure. SC2-fans are everywhere and they are not hiding It for a single second. So come to us at Stockholm University where zergshirts are an everyday appearance and the dining hall is always discussing GSL. Great blog by the way. I love it!
|
StarCraft shirts are instant friend-makers for sure. The day after I got my TL shirt I decided to wear it as that was the day of the week that I had the most class time. Recognized instantly--at least in CS/Math classes -.-;;
|
Same here. I was sitting in my econometrics class, and watched the IPL during the lab. Next class period the guy that sat next to me came in with a TL shirt on! TL makin' friends worldwide. Props to Nick. More TL, more skill.
|
So TL I'll leave you with this question: have you ever seen anyone at your campus/school establishment/public places with Starcraft related apparel? If so do you say anything to them?
I usually wear one of the TL t-shirts. 2 months ago I picked up the mic at an open mic in a bar (and was wearing the TL shirt). I beatboxed for about 15 minutes. When I left the scene and grabbed a wiskey at the bar, some nerd came to me and told me "nice beatboxing, and gogo team liquid !". I was happy for the compliment, unfortunately that nerd was male.
Wearing the TL shirt once a week at work.
|
5/5 blog man always nice to meet someone with similar interests.
|
This blog has brightened my day. Kudos to the writer.
|
I have a self made Protoss button since broodwar (so the symbol is that of the akilae tribe - what is now the first protoss tical you get - not the new symbol on the shirts) and I wear it on my jacket. I once got attacked by nazis because they thought it was some sort of leftish political statement (Terrans....). But it also helped me to find my recent 2v2 partner, a huge sc2-fan with a Zerg tattoo on his back ^^
|
Crazy i'm in Delaware valley Pa, I wear my Protoss/Terran/Zerg shirts out all the time ( would wear team liquid if the blue shirt ever comes out again!?!) any ways no i havnt seen another person wear star craft apparel but i have been recognized for it.
|
I tend to wear my Protoss shirt & that shirt with Zealot with Zergburger quite a lot. Never got called on it, though. Maybe people are intimidated, because I'm 27 & often going along with my son. Forever w/o real-life SC2 friends, booo <.<
|
Just one more reason the blog section on TL is awesome. Also, nice drawings, they helped the narrative in such a good way!

Ffffffft. I am super jealous T___T I want to go there! This was the only time I've ever seen a SC in public ever. I did hear a girl talking about how she was playing til 2am once and we talked briefly (haven't seen her since!)
Thanks so much (to everyone!) ;o;/

Ive seen a guy with a Protoss shirt at a Soundgarden concert Didn't say anything though.
Also, kind of unrelated, but Ive seen a guy with an MLG Instinct (Halo team) hat, also at a concert.
|
I saw someone with a zerg shirt when I was on vacation but I didn't say anything tt
|
A bunch of kids at my school play Starcraft but I don't like very many of them. A couple of my good friends play sc though, so it's good.

I saw a guy like 3 years ago wearing a t-shirt from handsome nerd (this is SC:BW) about a DT and something something(they dont seem to have anyting BW-related left on their page). It was quite awesome, and i was in shock for a while. I went up to him and started talking to him but that was kind of it. Didnt want to out his gaming addiction to his friends i guess ^^
EDIT: Oh here we are!

I haven't really seen anyone with starcraft related apparel besides at this past MLG Raleigh event. I have seen one guy playing some custom games of SC2 during our programming class. I have also seen one or two of those jim raynor flash drives that came along with the collectors edition around school. So I am sure there are at least a few SC2 fans around my area but I have not seen anyone who would really follow the scene all that much. I also don't recongize anyone who might play SC2 past the campaign and custom matches with a competitive mindset so I don't think I will bring up the topic.
I have worn my Jim Raynor flash drive around school at least a couple of times and I do wear my stride gum shirt that I got from MLG Raleigh a good amount too. I have also been playing some SC2 in the school's cafeteria but nobody has really mentioned anything so far. It is probably because I go to a tech school and I am in the Simulation and Game Development program so I would already know just about anyone who would follow SC2.
I have a question about a situation I've been thinking about that relates to the question in the OP. The question is would it be better or worse to wear something related to starcraft when you go up to a group of koreans and make a first impression. I ask because I am interested in learning korean because I want to find out what happened to Huxley: The Dystopia, SC2, and from my experience the korean people are generally good people to be around.
So far I have been going through talktomeinkorean.com. I'm sure immersion into the language is needed in order to actually learn the language. So I was going to go say hi to a group of koreans that I usually see around in the cafeteria in between classes. Maybe we will have some things in common and I'll end up learning some stuff. However I am not sure if they like or hate starcraft.
I wouldn't want to make one of those 'oh he's that kinda of guy' type of impression if they end up not liking starcraft.
|
I wear SC2 shirts all the time and people never recognize it. Some people even think the Terran shirt has something to do with that Zelda triforce eagle drawing
|
A guy chatted with me on the street near Union Square, NYC a few weeks ago because he saw me sporting my Zerg shirt.
|
|
|
|
|
You are 10x more likely to find someone with LOL shit on than sc2.
Because LoL is 10x more popular amongst dudes with no skill (the people at your university)
|
Haha this was great to read, I always rep my TL shirt and wait for a grand day. When a girl will come up to me and say something about TL. Fingers are crossed lol
|
I seen some kid at the mall with his parents wearing a protoss shirt.. I walked up to the cheese isle (thats where they were) and I yelled "MY LIFE FOR AUIR!".. Clearly I never thought it through, I looked like a complete retard so I just walked away as they starred.. Awkward.
Edit: By mall I mean grocery store ;;

Aww that sucks. You only get one first impression. I would have said something like, "pffft.... go figure, a Protoss who likes cheese."

Same i love the subtlety of that shirt. i wear it around Baylor all the time...no one gets the reference which makes for some interesting bullshit on my part.

Oh god what, spotlighted? ;_____; I don't even know what to say. I am incredibly honored that my silly drawings even got attention at all. Thanks so much to everyone!

I received a few nice PMs but sadly none were from Protoss shirt guy! Next time I see him with a Starcraft shirt on I will definitely say something though (or anyone wearing one for that matter!) Thank you c:
|
it got spotlighted by page 3 ;P. Its good to break out of your comfort zone and talk to people tho. And well, you wont find a guy wearing a nerdy shirt that will be rude to a nice young lady sharing the interest. Lol if anything you might end up wanting to get away from them in the end!
Oh did you ever say what school you go to? i read the thread but cant think of it. That might have helped your cause lol. I should get a starcraft shirt for when i return to school in a couple months. Might be one way to meet people in an area ive never been too.

it got spotlighted by page 3 ;P. Its good to break out of your comfort zone and talk to people tho. And well, you wont find a guy wearing a nerdy shirt that will be rude to a nice young lady sharing the interest. Lol if anything you might end up wanting to get away from them in the end!
Oh did you ever say what school you go to? i read the thread but cant think of it. That might have helped your cause lol. I should get a starcraft shirt for when i return to school in a couple months. Might be one way to meet people in an area ive never been too.
What seriously? I never noticed haha >.< Yeah I totally regret not saying anything, it probably would have went over fine. I always let my nerves get the best of me. I'll typically just stare and admire from afar. I'm working on it though!
I go to Delaware Valley College in PA. It's a little agriculture and science school. I definitely mentioned it in the OP, just subtly I suppose. And yeah go for it! You could end up making a good SC buddy :D

A friend gave me custom made Protoss Shirt for my birthday.
It has Protoss symbols and Zeratul and Carrier on it, and the pictures are not too bright, but,,
It is my favorite T-shirt and I wear it in public and I am hoping that someone will recognize what it is.
For now, no one does, but you never know
Nice blog, gl hf
Nerd Ballers ftw

I would wear my TL shirt everywhere! I'd wear it to school, i'd wear it to the zoo, id even wear it to the moon!
But alas!, I don't have a TL shirt and it seems TL doesn't want any more people to have one either n_n

I remember seeing this guy around campus with a CJ entus shirt. I stopped and chatted with him about proleague for a while and how CJ is going to rape when effort is back in.

I approve of this conversation. I also wear my Hwaesung Oz Jersey in public all the time, but 90% of people who compliment it think I'm a race car driver.

I saw a really tall guy at university wearing a TL jersey. I wanted to give him a high five but he was walking the opposite way.
I wear my ESPORTS and zerg shirts to school all the time.

Im tempted to buy a micro/macro shirt and wear it to my economics classes lol.

I've been F5ing this all day just to make sure you weren't actually a spawn of satan.
Phew! You're normal! \o/

I was wearing my Protoss shirt a few weeks ago while trying to flag down a cab at a pretty busy intersection here in San Francisco. In the distance I saw a convertible full of dudes driving down the block, top down and looking like a party. I figure, since it was Sunday, that these guys had just came back from watching a big game or something.
As they sped by, one of them looked straight at me and shouted something.
"GO PROTOSS!"
It gave me hope for my brothers of Aiur, that one day we would emerge victorious again.

Only sighting i've seen so far is that i was using somebody's laptop, and i saw they had sc2 installed, but alas, it wasn't a good time to talk about starcraft

I did something similar when I was downtown HB a few months ago. I was wandering around from bar to bar to try and find some friends around dusk. I was about to leave and I start crossing the street and this cute brunette 20something sitting there says 'I like your shirt' or 'cool shirt' or something like that (wearing the black/purple zerg jinx shirt).
For some dumb reason I just assumed that she thought it looked cool and didn't know what it represented or something and said 'thanks' and nodded from afar and kept walking. A moment later I saw a girl I knew and she was super drunk and so happy to see me so I kinda blew it.
If you're on these forums, I'm sorry I shoulda talked to you.
Seriously one of the biggest regrets I have as of late with superficial/boring girl troubles. Like seriously even if she didn't know what it meant, that was the biggest fail in game I've ever made, a girl IOI'd me and I just walked on..
I should actually do my own blog about this so people can facepalm it.

I work at a kindergarten here in china and have about 7 sc2 shirts in total. The kids love the tshirts that have different zerg units on them "oooo look at this one! It's flying and it looks so scary! it shoots out its butt." etc
got my i <3 sc shirt with zerg larvae too :D
|
I once told my class that I was a professional gamer (few years ago, diff games) and some girl shouted, NICE EA JACKET!!! I was liek.. Errr that stands for Emporio Armani -.-"
|

I was wearing my Zerg t-shirt on my way home from a relaxing train ride. Little did I know, when I was getting off that train I would have a guy slap me on the head.
"Wtf was that?" I say to myself in my head, and find the culprit behind me a guy is standing with a Protoss shirt, whom was grasping the bottom of his shirt to make the image clearer on his t-shirt.
"You best not 6 pool bro." He says, out loud to me. I wanted to hug him, but I felt that would be out of place.
"Ahahha, I won't" I wish I had anything else to say besides "I won't", but sometimes you can't think of anything more creative at the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd love you too if you shot stuff out your butt.

Btw, where can I buy a protoss t-shirt from?
Thanks guys
Edit: Found one and ordered. 
|
Soooo.. which school do you go to?
I sometimes wear my Protoss shirt to school o_O
|
I saw someone with a zerg rush t-shirt but he was at a distance and i did not have the courage. Other than Dreamhack i dont think i have seen more apparel out in the open. However i would like to mention seeing Will Wheaton with Zerg shirt on Big Bang Theory, but i guess that has been on reddit since monday anyway.

Nice story.

I want to brag that I've just received my Protoss t-shirt. :D
I'm a part of the protoss t-shirt family now.

You still haven't found him?
You need to start hanging up posters around your university.
|
I haven't T___T I WILL HUNT HIM DOWN. Eventually.
I also like how someone posted a blog just now trying to find someone from their campus
|
Seriously, try putting up posters in some of the more commonly traversed areas of your school. Your school has places you can do that, yeah? Just a simple (but big), "You! With the Protoss shirt!" and a brief explanation beneath that of the situation. If the guy's around, that should be a good way to find him. We protoss are suckers for a good poster.

Last time I stopped in Jimmy Johns, one of the guys behind the counter noticed my TL shirt and we struck up a conversation about MLG weekend. It was cool
