This is the fantasy. This is the reality.
"I was just in TK Maxx the other day (does it even have two Xs...?). I wanted a cheap Jacket to take to festivals, managed to get a nice jacket for fifteen quid. Anyway, whilst browsing, I saw a t-shirt on special clearance sale. It says 'Supersonic' on it, and "'1991'. I'm not sure what they were thinking. Unless I am mistaken, the first appearance of Super Sonic in a game was in Sonic 2, which didn't come out 'til 1992. It is also clearly not Super Sonic, since he's blue."
"It apparently originally sold for £30, but is now £9.99. Not sure how long it took to drop in price that much, but if it anything like Sonic games, it's probably only a few weeks old."
"'Limited Edition' it says. Somehow I don't think so" - LewieP.
ABOUT JOYSTICK JUNKIES
We used to hate them with PASSION, but now have a grudging admiration for them managing to get their t-shirts distributed via a nationwide chain, even if it is a sub-prime chain and the t-shirts are being heavily discounted.
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
Or maybe that's what the kids these days like?
Fuck knows, don't even know why I'm even writing anything anymore.
TK Maxx Price: £ 9.99
Actual Value: £ Negligable
There's also the fact that they'd probably fall apart if you washed it that many times to get that faded effect. Kinda like the stack of Goth t-shirts I currently have gathering moths at the back of the wardrobe...(Only that's genuine wear and tear, nothing fake about my grey sisters of mercy t-shirts)
