For a while now, Attract Mode has been an awesome blog to visit and catch up on the latest artistic happenings concerning the video game world. The owner of the site, Adam Robezzoli, has been kicking around the idea of a "video game culture shop" since 2005, and his dream has finally come to fruition earlier yesterday with the opening of the Attract Mode Videogame Culture Shop.
The shop has quite a few things to offer, including two shirts. One of them bearing a design by one of my favorite artists, James Harvey, and the other with the site mascot Broglin, which was designed by none other than Anna Anthropy(might be better known to some as Auntie Pixelante). You can also find some chiptune albums for sale from artists like Anamanaguchi, YMCK, and Leeni. There's also these bitching art prints by the superbrothers, which are a tad expensive, but if I had the money then I would gladly plop it down for at least one of them. Would look awesome hanging in your gaming room.
My absolute favorite thing at the shop? It has to be the cactus and auntie pixelante button packs. I'm not much of a button person, but if you know anything about me than you know I love me some indie gaming. Cactus is by far one of my favorite indie developers, and seeing this button pack bear the characters of his Psychosomnium game(one of my favorites of his) has got me really excited to see what other indie developers will have goods bearing their games for sale at Attract Mode. Maybe some messhof or Konjak related goods? Ah, the possibilities are endless! Be sure to check out the shop and cop a t-shirt or something, I'm still teetering on the idea of purchasing one of those Dot Matrix Revolution prints...
