Attract Mode @ MoCCA Fest This Weekend!

New products from 8bitpeoples at the Attract Mode table.

Matt is going to be at MoCCA Art Fest in New York this weekend running the Attract Mode table. Here are the details:

MoCCA Festival 2010
Saturday and Sunday
April 10 & 11, 2010
69th Regiment Armory
68 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY

Attract Mode is at table B15.

We are still recovering from how much PAX East cleaned out our inventory, but Matt has been working hard to make sure we have lots to offer. In addition to what we have in the online store, he also was able to nab some goods from 8bitpeoples. The coolest addition is definitely the Nullsleep x Videogramo shirt (see above). I'm kind of hoping we don't sell out so I can grab one for myself!

Matt will also have some Meat Bun shirts and the Blip DVDs by 2 Player Productions. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to finish the 3rd issue of Fort90Zine in time for the show, but that just means you will have to make it to the release party at Babycastles later this month. It's a good time to play games and live in New York!

New Products: Miniboss T-shirt, Unicorn Dream Attack CD and Bogus Journey Instruction Booklet

Miniboss T-shirt, Unicorn Dream Attack CD, Calvin & Hellen's Bogus Journey Instruction Booklet

I just added 3 new products to the shop.

Miniboss T-shirt by SEIBEI — $22
Unicorn Dream Attack - Love Bits — $12
Calvin & Hellen's Bogus Journey Instruction Booklet — $4

The Miniboss t-shirt was designed by David Murray for his t-shirt company, SEIBEI. David is a cool dude, and he's got a lot of talent, so expect more SEIBEI lovin's from Attract Mode in the future.

Love Bits is Unicorn Dream Attack's ode to your heart. It's really good. If you are into chip music, definitely check that one out.

And finally, Calvin & Hellen's Bogus Journey Instruction Booklet is Calvin Wong's ridiculously funny faux instruction booklet for the game he made with Hellen Jo and Derek Yu for Game Over/Continue. It's one of my favorite items in the shop, and it's only $4! Designed, printed, folded and stapled by the loving hands of Calvin himself.

Johnny Cupcakes Honors the Power Glove

Johnny Cupcakes Power Mitt T-shirt and Poster

Oh Johnny Cupcakes, you make t-shirts I love to love. This Power Mitt design is begging to be purchased, and I would comply if I weren't dumping all my money into getting my own shop off the ground.

I've been watching the Johnny Cupcakes brand grow and succeed over the past few years, and here are a few lessons that I've taken to heart:

  • Authenticity is greater than $$$. Forget about selling through large chain stores.
  • Never sacrifice on quality. Don't release something until it is ready.
  • Choose awesomeness over ROI. Creating and doing great things is better than making loads of money.

A lot of younger entrepreneurs look up to Johnny and his t-shirt confectionisto empire. Honestly, look what he has acheived with cupcakes and clothing. If he can do this much with something that is ultimately pretty silly, then the rest of us have no excuse not to succeed with businesses that are driven by our passions.

Warp Zone Socks

Warp Zone Socks

The Warp Zone socks are part of an amazing collection by Ashi Dashi. I think they've earned the title of "Best Videogame Apparel Ever". Although, I'm not sure if a guy could pull them off. What do you think? For girls only?
