If the idea of this makes you shudder in delight, you might want to check out Blue Dog, a new Oz online shop that sells gaming T-shirts and posters, among other knick-knacks. For $10-$20, you can pick up shots from Street Fighter, Super Mario Galaxy and Gears of War. The store also accepts custom T-shirt prints, if you’re into that sort of thing.
