Ever wish you could wear your Jamestown fandom on a snazzy new dress shirt?  If so, we have some very good news.  And for those of you whose absolute favorite ship in Jamestown is the charge ball?  Man oh man are you in for a treat:

Detail

Yes, folks: offical Jamestown merchandise, suitable for the workplace or distinctively-attired night-on-the-town, is now available!  Okay, maybe not suitable for all workplaces.  A government job might be a reach.  Or, like, an oil rig.  But you get the idea: PRETTY DARN CLASSY.

Detail2

The nice folks and avowed Jamestown fans over at sinn d’signed have taken a unique approach to game fashion with their new player_1 line of garments, where (to crib shamelessly from their own words on the subject) “the spirit of each game is celebrated in a sophisticated and fashionable way.”  They’ve already released a neato Space Pirates And Zombies shirt in a similar style, their Jamestown shirt just dropped, and they have a few others in the pipeline.  Follow ‘em on twitter to get in that loop!

I’m not going to promise that this news comes just in time for the holidays, but it certainly might if you act fast!  Consign yourself to the Gifting Hall Of Fame with that special gamer in your life!



And remember: THAT SPECIAL GAMER MIGHT EVEN BE YOU.


You want this.

Humble Indie Bundle 4 is available as of today, and even if we weren’t in it (which we totes are), we would still immediately categorize it as a Dreadnought-Class Über-Bundle, Mark 4.  LOOK AT ALL THIS HEAT IT’S PACKING:

———————————————

Jamestown

(awwww yeah first on the list cuz this is our blog)

The Jamestown Original Soundtrack

(not a game, but putting it on this list anyway cuz damn, y’all)

Super Meat Boy

Bit.Trip Runner

Shank

NightSky HD

Plus, all you gotta do is beat the average to throw these bad boys on the pile:

Gratuitous Space Battles

Cave Story +

———————————————

Not only is this bundle to be feared and respected, but also purchased at whatever price you think is fair for 5-7 seriously excellent games, plus a little sugar for a few of our fave charities (Child’s Play and the American Red Cross).

Of course, all these games are DRM-free, and all of them will run on PC, Mac, and Linux.  So yes, those of you who are sensitive to context clues are absolutely right: Jamestown is now available for the Mac and Linux!

We are thrilled to be keeping such amazing company in this bundle (SRSLY HOW RAD IS THAT LINEUP?!?!) and we hope you find it to be exciting as well.

Now.  If you are reading this on the same day that we posted it, you have just fourteen days to convert this information into a fun-filled holiday for you and yours.  Don’t kid yourself: a train this fast and sexy isn’t going to come back into the station for a good long while, SO GET IN HERE! :D
