Punching Trees Gives Me WoodDon't Fear The Creeper

If you’ve been a Halolz fan for a while now, you might remember these two amazing Minecraft t-shirt designs… which we had to stop selling because, well, they weren’t official!

Well here’s an interesting fun-fact: Threadless is currently having a Minecraft t-shirt design contest! What does that mean? If you guys rate our designs highly, and also tell your friends to do the same, they might just become official Minecraft t-shirts!

Neat, huh? So here’s the deal… if you go to both of these links and rate each one a five, you’ve done your part!

http://www.threadless.com/submission/456926/The_Grim_Creeper

Of course if you want to go for extra credit, telling your friends on the internet to do the same would be kind of awesome too! Lets see if we can make some magic happen!

Update:
Also adding a nicely worded comment and clicking on the “email me when this is printed” button can’t hurt either!

Yeah, we want it in writing!!! With lawyers & witnesses & shit. I will buy a shirt with the contract on it. Legitly.

I like to play with people's hearts.

(Notices he doesn't mention *when* we'd get the forums.)

Well played, sir.

If one of these shirts becomes official I will make a new forum out of solid gold before the end of the week.

ALL RIGHT, MEN. Begin deploying those +5's!

I've been clamoring for forums for many months now. I have almost nowhere I can actually consider myself a part of the community of except for Steam. I wish to be a closer part of the Halolz community, and I feel like that won't happen until we get the forums back. Between the Skype chat resistricted to talk of Gundam or Touhou, and the inconsistently available servers on TF2 and Minecraft, I literally have no alternative to seeing the life of the community of Halolz except within Halolz itself.

The comments are a place of humor, but not shenangians. They are a location of puns and jokes en mass, but not a place a glove-headed roamer such as myself can visit daily knowing I will have something to actually talk about. Halolz operates at the rate Shawn adds submissions, where as the Church of Falcon lived at its own pace. You gentlemen mean a lot to me as a community, and I would love to be able to firmly mold myself as a friend and Pyroesque model to you all.

So while many veterans want the forums back to resume what was once their daily lives, and while many newcomers ask for forums merely to jump the bandwagon of, well, asking for forums, I ask for them simply because I want a place I can call "home" on this massive labyrinth known as the internet.

Fellow Halolzians, hear my plea. Fulfilling Shawn's request not only means forums for you, but a "home" and community for me. Let us make that come true so as to begin a new era in this corner of the internet. Let us get our forums back.

For those of you that said: TL;DR

Vote the shirts up FOR THE FORUMS!!!
Reply
The last bit in bold was kind of an implied tl;dr...

But yeah!

Forums!

Go team!

I didn't feel it was specific enough.

Note he also doesn't say whether it will be Church of Falcon, a similar site, or... worse.

What possible force can even be that sort of thing.

"I fear no site. ...But that...place *scoots up* it scares me."

Hey, I ain't talkin' 'bout no site, okay?
They're not here, are they?
HOW DO I GET THIS F****** THING OFF MY COMPUTER?

Not as much as 4chan scares me...

I'm surprised 4chan scares you more than 9gag to be honest...

4chan is the place to lose faith in humanity. 9gag is the place to become homicidal towards humanity.

Pfft. I don't like /b/ at all but I have to admit, after being constantly exposed by people you know to that sorta thing by force, even the most inhumane things so long as it's on your screen is just a "whatever" to you.

Seeing it irl is a different story though I'll admit.

YOU HEARD THE MAN RIGHT HERE AND NOW FOLKS.

Hey, can I add to the shameless promotions?
GO VOTE FOR LA-MULANA ON STEAM GREENLIGHT.
Seriously, how has it only gotten 3% of thumbs up on the service?

Already done.

You can also try the original too! The original was free ware this one is just a lot more updated and new puzzles and content.

I'm just curious, but don't those shirts fall under the domain of parody? It's my understanding that the law allows parodies without fear of infringement lawsuits from the IP owner(s). While I'm all for maintaining positive relationships with smaller developers in the spirit of Weird Al, you should have been fine if you wanted to keep selling the T-Shirts. Though if Notch/Mojang asked you to stop selling them, I totally understand.

If the Creeper image was trademarked, I don't think they could sell the shirt for profit, regardless of its parody nature. I could be wrong, though.
Reply
Vote for the Punching Trees one. I made that one.
Reply
Done! Rated them both 5!
Reply
I Gave everyone of those shirts a 5 stars because everyone seems to have them except me.
*sigh*
Reply
I'd be supporting this whole ideal but I don't have any actual methods to doing so by myself.

Also, just curious... wasn't the Fear the Creeper shirt taken out not only because it wasn't official but because you decided to take it down? I recall the situation involving the guys in charge saying they would have appreciated if you did it or something. But instead from what I remember some people telling me were being total cockbags about it.

tl;dr: Isn't the Fear the Creeper shirt only not up on the site because you allowed it in the end? Not antagonizing, I'm just curious.

Wait I misread. I thought money was required because I skimmed and I'm multitasking.

Geez I feel retarded.

EDIT: Aaaaaand... my part is done.

Everyone else do your thing asap.
Reply
You'd think that with so many of you multitasking wouldn't be an issue.

Ahaaa, oh youuuu.

It was taken down because it wasn't official. Thats it.
