Gimme a free ride.

My wife and I went to the mall today with my sister. We saw one of my wife’s friends, who was wearing this kick-ass Legend of Zelda jacket. I asked him where he got it, and he said, “Hot Topic.”

Grooooooaaaaaan. :-(

However, I was not going to be denied my Nintendo merchandise, even if it meant braving the horrors of The Hot Topic Experience. I went into the store, found the cramped section with their Nintendo merchandise, and started looking around. And you know what, it was the coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile. I’ve always been a fan of www.gameskins.com, and having all of this Nintendo-themed stuff was just incredible.

Turns out that Hot Topic’s selection was just the beginning. There’s sites on the Internet that have even more merchandise. The largest selection I’ve seen so far has been at this 80stees.com page, although they don’t have the shirt that I bought.
