But how about you gamer? Are you metal? I'm sure you say you are, but are you really metal? Like as metal as the German guy who stopped me at the train station in Cologne to hug me and shout "Fucking Metal" in my face?

If you are, then maybe you're one of the 40 people who will be lucky enough to win a Mishka Brutal Legend T-shirt.

Here's the deal. All you have to do is drop in a photo of yourself in pure metal pose, proving your metalocitiy, in the comments to this thread. We''ll randomly select among the metal posers... ha.... 40 winners.

The contest is open to anyone in the world... who loves metal. No promise on which of the two designs you'll land if you win or what size you'll get. But we'll try our best.

Now, get to the posing and posting. Submit your picture by Dec. 2 and we'll announce the winners on Dec. 4.

I found this gem while shopping at a outlet Jeans West story here in Australia. It may not be the coolest gaming shirt I own, but at $5 Australian it sure is the cheapest. I just wish there were more Pac Man ghosts on the shirt.

There was an entire hall chock full of merchandise at Tokyo Game Show: dolls, figures, toys and shirt. Mostly shirts though, tons and tons of T-shirts. While I love gaming shirts, they really have to be something special to get me to buy one. Mostly because I don't have the room in my house for anymore. When I was walking the halls last week checking out the merch this black Doki Doki Majo Shinpan shirt caught my eye.

Not only was it down right bizarre, it was for a game no one in the U.S. will probably ever seen. So yes, I bought it. What I didn't buy, though, was that shirt next to it. I mean, that's a finger there sneaking up her skirt and check out those freaked out eyes.

Talk about starting them out early! This little tyke doesn't stand a chance of ever growing up to be anything but a stellar nerd of the first order. All to the good I say, as we need to keep the rank and file up to snuff after all! Let's just hope that he/she hangs on to that 18 charisma. The shield with the two bunnies and the carrot is especially sweet, although I usually prefer my bunnies with larger fangs.

As much as I love this though, my vote for best baby shirt ever still goes to the one that says "Daddy drinks because I cry." Truer words were never spoken. Flynn De Marco

My personal favorite, from a reader long ago, is: Kotaku: We put the K in Otaku.. (The First K, Not the Second One.)

But no one seems to like that, so unless you want a blank white t-shirt, you're going to need to help us.

Here's the deal, email in your t-shirt ideas and the person who comes up with the winning slogan gets some free t-shirts, and some sort of swag from my pile o gaming crap.

If you have something email us at tips@kotaku.com with t-shirt in the subject line. We're going to try and pick a winner by the end of the month.

To celebrate the launch of Phantasy Star Universe in Japan, Sega is selling a limited edition T-shirt which, judging by the childish design, was created with the help of Acme Label Maker 2000. Fortunately, you can only buy it in Japan. Brian Crecente

Only a true fan of the Blizzard space real-time strategy game would want this shirt. I mean, look at the back of the thing.
