The Nintendo Family Tree Tee

"Longtime reader and forum poster extrordinaire Shin Gallon dropped this in my email last night. NerdyShirts.com is currently selling this awesome t-shirt featuring Nintendo’s family tree of consoles and handhelds.

But on the Happy Mundane side, I love the different retro-esque patterened sleeves that Starbucks has been using this holiday season!"

When your friend unwraps that Wii he’s been wanting on Christmas morning, be sure to download and set his desktop to one of these helpful images, lest he jump out of a plane with a game console on his back. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!"
