Exciting new merchandise coming soon?

[Martin]

UPDATE:
If we're going to do this, we would not start an actual store and put a lot of money into it. We would most likely work with a company called cafepress, which will take care of ordering, printing, shipping and customer service (if needed :P).

We will not buy like 20 t-shirts, 10 mugs etc. and sell them ourselves, but instead we will get a percentage on all merchandise sold. The plan is not to start a money machine, but to have a little fun. :)
END OF UPDATE

Earlier today I discussed with Jabo (PJ64 author), Azimer (Apollo author) and Schibo (1964 author) about selling merchandise with 1964/apollo/emu64/emutalk/pj64 logos and art work on them, and they all agreed to it as a great idea. What do you think?

A skilled gfx artist could design new logos, for them to have the same style. One product could have several logos, or just your favorite one. Like a mouse pad with the Emutalk logo on or a t-shirt with all your favorite N64 emus on the front on back of it. :)

Who would you support through bying these products then? Primarily, the authors! How is that for paying a little bit of respect for the thousands of hours spent on these great emulators? Also, you would support all the websites hosted by Emu64 as it would help paying for the server.

What kind of merchandise would we sell then? Here's a list of ideas...

- T-Shirt
- Long Sleeve T-Shirt
- Ladies T-Shirt
- Tank Top
- Sweatshirt
- Pen
- Mug
- Cap
- Bucket Hat
- Boxer Shorts
- Mouse Pad
- Keychains (Slougi's idea)
- Stickers (Keith's idea)

Well, what do you say? Would you buy a product and support us? Vote at the poll I've setup! Also, feel free to suggest anything, and bring new ideas to our attention. Thanks for participating. :)

Boxer Shorts?! *LOL*

Cap would be good though.. :D

[Davemc]

anyone wanna see my new PJ64 boxers?

err.. i might be interested

[Josep]

hehe, i think thats a tight idea, i'd definitly represent that shiat;) I'm all for that, just as long as we don't pay for something that we ONE: Never get, or TWO: Takes two months to deliver;) then it's cool;)

[Tri-Force]

mouse pads are great but i dont think i can walk around with a hat that says 1964 on it

[CpU MasteR]

Sure, Who woulnd want a authentic Emulation64 T-Shirt... :D

[i4get]

not a bad idea

[aprentice]

how about bras and pantyhose with the Bj64 i mean pj64 logo on them. You could also sell used panties, there are some pretty perverted people out there. Then with the money you make out of selling this shit you could try to buy out ztnet. Then you delete zophars site and you add a pr0n section. Shit, go for it!

[Tri-Force]

smells like a spam post. sniff sniff. yep. that is deffenently a ground up spiced cand meat product

Yep its spam alright. Spam LITE. Whatcya gonna do about it? Support the emu authors, buy lingere from emu64!

[Slougi]

I would be most interested in the mouse pad and mug. An Emulation64 T-Shirt would be leet as hell as well :D

I kinda agree to that. :P

Another product idea: keychains. You know, not those 1$/dozen ones, rather those which are a little more expensive :)

[B*A*G*G]

emutalk merchandise??? hehe:D
i would'nt buy that crap:D
but i dont blame you for trying. it is a good way to earn some quick cash off these suckaz lol:stupid:

[Malcolm]

[dave_luther]

[Slougi]

BTW what's a bucket hat?
I guess it's the type of hats u were in the winter.

[sk8bloke22]

haha, personally i wouldnt like to wear emulation merchandise...its a fun hobby, but it aint getting into my clothes drawer ???

[Ruesselschnurps]

This sounds great, especially those:

- T-Shirt
- Long Sleeve T-Shirt
-Sweatshirt
- Mug
- Boxer Shorts (Request by Jaz)
- Mouse Pad

What about toilet paper ? ;-)

[Jaz]

`Design a t-shirt` forum coming soon.. ;)

Watch this space..

[Slougi]

lol
I'll prolly get an Apollo/1964/PJ64 mousepad and an emulation64 t-shirt. If this happens that is ;)

[Rjx]

The B-list products:

-The Emulation64 Home Pregnancy Test

-The Emulation64 "Hatters" Hat

-The official #bearcave Bear Trap

-Emulation64's very own home made herbal viagra (as used by Redah)

[vampireuk]

PJ64 Riot Van

The Nemu tactical nuclear missile

and the 1964 stun gun

/me thinks mine and Rjx's ideas wont be picked.

One last addition is the official Apollo wallpaper paste:D

[Josep]

i don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but how 'bout a Condom;) Promotes safe sex, helps the world with overpopulation, and mainly lets people have sex for just the enjoyment, haha, i dunno, i'm just thinking randomly;)

[B*A*G*G]

how bout emu64 brand ho's.
not the ho's you wear around your legs but the ho's you can do on the street (for a reasonable fee).
i'll even pimp the ladies on fridays & saterdays (for 60% of their profit of course).
sound good?

[aprentice]

Personally, I wouldnt buy emulation merchandise. Whenever I think of emulation key chains, mugs, etc, i think Bleem.. people trying to make a profit off a hobby which is in the gray zone category. I dont think emulation is ready for commericialism but thats my 2 cents.

i agree, this could promote emulators as products rather than hobbies and projects.

[Keith]

I like it, but I would also include stickers .. maybe even some of those two way stickers for car windows.

erm so ? if sombody wants to write an emulator and sell it theres absolutly nothing wrong with that, nobodys forcing people to buy it. the same applies to tshirts with a logo on. personaly i wouldnt mind wearing somthing that said emulation64 or apollo on, i visit the site a lot and im not ashamed of it so as long as they were tasteful, reasonably priced, and easy to order i would definatly buy one.

[Remote]

With the risk of insulting some persons I can honestly say that I wouldn't buy or even borrow a piece of clothes that had the text 1964, Pj64 or even emulation64 on it, and regarding leet talk, let's not even go there... Eventhougt it's for a good cause it wouldn't blend with the rest of my clothes, or my personal preferance. However an good looking Apollo t-shirt reasonbly priced would be of interest, but then again if I really wanted one I could make one myself, I'm not sure if this applies to all members, since I've access to the tools neccesary, so it's still a good idea.

[Gent]

Well to be honest, I'm a great Tea Drinker (No its true)

I wouldnt mind a pj64,1964,Apollo Mug !
I dont use Mouse mats As i only use infa red Mice ;)
(I have more than One)


As for the

- T-Shirt
- Long Sleeve T-Shirt
-Sweatshirt
- Mug
- Boxer Shorts (Request by Jaz)


Could also be a good idea for a good cause.

I would also be very interested in those three Emu Baseball Caps.

[Pheo]

now, a mug, keychain, stickers, a pen, or even a t-shirt (i probally wouldn't wear) doesn't sound so bad.
i'd be supportive of it.

As in Emulation64 Staff & Emu Authors?

[Martin]

As in Martin, Jabo, Schibo and Azimer. Noone else has shown interest. :)

[Slougi]

Err... Could we have a "Cheat0r!" T-Shirt?
j/k :P

[Redah]

Nah... no Emulation stuff coming in my house... except if it were condoms which have 'Emu' printed on them, and when you use them they read 'Emulation64.com' :)

Orrr... Hanna t-shirts. If you wanna get rich like reeaaallly fast... get some Hanna shirts printed :D

[CpU MasteR]

Did this Die Or What.......

[EdgeBlade]

hahaha - so it seems...

[Martin]

Redah's got "Sex" printed in his fore head, and "XXX" on the back of his shirt. Won't tell you what's printed on the front of his shirt. ;)

But you can't blame him. :D

[Stalkid64]

Okay... in a riff of those `classic` t-shirt slogans
"Emulation addicts do it for 24 hours straight..!"
Back print...
... "Because after that, you have to remove it from your hard disk."
*cough*heyitsnerdinnuendo*cough* ;)

ROTFLMFAOWKTD! :D
