B-MAn · Feb 9, 2005

MetalliMyers · Feb 9, 2005

That's funny... ...never heard of that before. I always thought the rainbow as the gay pride symbol. So I guess all the freedom fighters of City 17 support the gay community

Cap

CS:

Shirt
Poster

DOD:

Thank you for visiting our Web Store. We expect our Store will be available soon. Please try again in a few minutes.

kupocake · Feb 9, 2005

And no deliveries outside of North America anyway...

Still, we can always pray for official Headcrab plushies... and Snarks. A super-deformed toy of Dr Kliener would be kind of funky too

"Because of its militant associations, the lambda symbol has spread throughout the world. It sometimes appears in the form of an amulet hung round the neck as a subtle sign of recognition which can pass among unknowing heterosexuals as a mere ornament. Such emblems may reflect a tendency among homosexuals toward tribalization as a distinct segment of society, one conceived as a quasi-ethnic group."
"The lowercase Greek letter lambda carries several meanings. First of all, it represents scales, and thus balance. The Greeks considered balance to be the constant adjustment necessary to keep opposing forces from overcoming each other." ...
"To the Spartans, the lambda meant unity. They felt that society should never infringe on anyone's individuality and freedom." ...
"in physics the symbol designates an energy change. Thus the lambda, with all its meanings, is an especially apt symbol for the gay liberation movement..."

That was the gayest thing I've ever read.
:x

I'm definately not going to wear anything with that now!
:x

edit: Although, I'm not nerdy enough to buy game-related clothes anyways.

MuToiD_MaN · Feb 10, 2005

Is it just me or is the Day of Defeat poster written out kinda like the Jurassic Park logo?

"Orders shipped to U.S. addresses only."

Scotsman · Feb 10, 2005

Goddamnit! I want a HL2 t-shirt... but it only delivers to the US...

CyberPitz · Feb 10, 2005

I already have my shirt to wear with my hl2 hat.. ..my Mindless Self Indulgence, "Eat Shit" shirt....I seem to get some pretty odd responses to those

th3Phallex · Feb 10, 2005

I like how they're trying to sell the posters.

You can just go here, copy/paste them in Photoshop, and resize them to 300dpi.

Then print it yourself.

(who would buy a folded poster, anyways?)

Whatever dude, I have never heard the the lambda symbol being a "gay" symbol in my life.

The Mullinator · Feb 11, 2005

I was hoping to find a nice HL2 themed coffee mug. Oh well.

EC · Feb 11, 2005

I don't care if it does symbolize gay pride. I'll still wear the shirt. I don't give a crap what other people think. Those who know HL2 will know I'm a HL2-er.

Just make sure you know who will start hitting on you then.

I bet the website was made by ID Software who's all jealous about not having a glyph that represents THEIR game, and all that, yo.
