Unrest Room
It’s the same story every year: On day one, the convention center bathrooms are spotless and ready for the masses but by the final day, even the fine staff (and they are awesome) simply cannot hold back the full weight of Nerdageddon. I don’t know about the ladies rooms but if you wander into a men’s room in the center at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning, you had better go with friends and bring that LARPing foam axe you bought on Friday. I’m just sayin’
For what it’s worth I HIGHLY FUCKING RECOMMEND TAKING A ROLL OF YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER! Seriously, doing your business with convention center paper is like wiping with an enraged porcupine.
Aside from Gen Con excitement I am pleased to announce there is a new t-shirt in the online store! Based on this comic, it is a message I think we can all get behind!
You can check it out here along with other gamer-related goodness.
Dude, I haven’t met a gamer yet who didn’t requite a 3X or more. I need a 5X myself. Your losing a lot of money leaving us out.
Speaking as a 6’4″, 150# gamer, I’d like to see shirts in a Medium Tall.
Where are you meeting gamers? Are they all Hoffmannites? (Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference!)

That’s a fair point. I’ll talk to the vendor and see what I can do. The 3x-5x may not be soft-style tees, though. How would you feel about that?
All I can say about today’s comic is: YES! THAT! The convention hall staff do a fine job but lets face it, at approx. 100 vs. 30 000 they are fighting a losing battle. Of course, if even half of my geek brethren treated the washrooms as if they were their own, they might stay cleaner longer. What say you, geeks?
And I’d like to back-up your point about the toilet paper. I usually bring a roll of my own to cons but forgot at last year’s Gen Con. And paid the price.
And I would like to respectfully disagree with Zonetrooper1 above. I think you are doing just fine capping the T-shirt sizes at 2X. As a guy who fell quite firmly into the 3X-5X territory for years, seeing a number of shirts that I wanted to wear sized too low was one of the reasons I started taking better care of myself and dropped the weight. I’m not saying that everyone in the 3X-5X range are necessarily overweight, of course. But it is something to consider.
Haha that’s one evil rat!! 😀
Dire-rat with PC levels in rogue? O.o
Well, you know, I think Brent is right. Us fat, lazy, slobs, who don’t eat right or take care of ourselves don’t deserve to wear anything cool, or that represent our interests. Hell, I’ll just run down to home depot and cut me big’ol moo-moo out of a paint tarp and then I’ll paint me a big d20 on there, and get my shirt that way. You go ahead and leave the size cape right where it is. Ass!
“Zone… if what you are is a fat, lazy slob, you probably have bigger problems than T-Shirts… Also, ‘never met a gamer who was smaller than 3x’, you shouldn’t be allowed to speak with that level of bull crap stereotyping. I have one player in my group who might even come close to 3x, and at least one who would be baggy in an M.”
