While sussing out an appropriate Nethack image for my post on the Best Year In Gaming History, I happened to Google up a new Nethack t-shirt. There have been Nethack t-shirts before, but all of them have sported the message "I wished for a blessed +3 GDSM and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"... which makes them far geekier than anything I really want to stretch across my quivering pectorals.

But I really like the throwback simplicity of this Nethack t-shirt over at Non-Zero Chance. "Thrill to the sight of an at-sign fending off a horde of lower case letters!" the copy explains.

Out came my credit card, and I even bought Eliza a present in this t-shirt. Unfortunately, it only comes in sizes up to 3X-L, making it a baby doll fit for the likes of Jabba the Hut but impotent to contain the gelatinous latitude of Eliza's own truly astonishing girth. Maybe she can put tape on the back and wear it as a pasty or something. Florian Eckhardt
