Geek Apparel of the Week: District 14, Astaroids, Yellowjacket

?? District 13 might be long gone in The Hunger Games, but even more forgotten is District 14, which used to provide the nation of Panem with all its tacos. When District 14 shuttered its doors, that when life really went to hell. It’s $12 at Woot, today only.

?? Shockingly, that’s not a typo in the article title — the shirt really is called Astaroids and not Asteroids, because of the ships originating from Star-titled franchises. Anyways, it’s still pretty subtle and simple, and I always like that. It’s $20 at 604 Republic.

?? We Love Fine has three minimalist Avengers t-shirts out, including Vision and Hawkeye, but my favorite for some reason is Yellowjacket here. If I stopped and thought about it I could explain why, but I’d rather play Saints Row the Third some more, so too bad. It’s $25 at We Love Fine — and I should mention this is the last week to enter their design-an-Avengers-t-shirt contest. I expect great results from this contest, so I hope a few Topless Roboteers threw their hats into the ring.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
