NS Fanware

Hey fellow NS/NS2 fans!

Longtime lurker, rare time poster here!

What follows is a number of related 'fanware' (i.e.<a href="http://www.justanothergamershop.com" target="_blank"> natural selection inspired merch</a>) that I think many of you will find quite interesting! (if only to hold you over 'till the official merchandise arrives from UWE;))

Please note that this is a fan's attempt to show love and dedication to an amazing game and community by sharing his creations (well, more like modifications!) with the plethora of other fans and is NOT and should NOT be considered official NS/NS2 merchandise.
Further support UWE by buying the game and the official merchandise when/if it is released, thank you for your understanding! :)

Well, now that my shameless self-advertising is out of the way, I guess I should tell you all a little bit about myself. I'm twenty years old, living in Sweden, and currently trying to promote NS/NS2 the best way I can. The reason I chose to do this was, well, because there doesn't seem to be any NS merch around! I mean, has there ever been? I might have missed it when NS launched or so, but that doesn't seem to be the case from my research.

While obviously NS2 is the new goldstar, I sort of felt like NS would be left in the dust -- something which seemed wrong to me, having grown up with it and idolizing it as the "game that could"; something which transpired the simple shoot-die-respawn-shoot-kill mantra of other FPS games of the time. I guess, in a way, it sort of felt like Half-Life in that way - it broke the mold that was so standardized by the likes of Quake (not that Quake isn't great at what it does mind you!). I was really young when NS first came out, so I never got the chance to become a Constellation member, never got the chance to play it very much (three brothers and one computer? Pssh! Lucky if I could scrap up one hour of game time!) - but I still felt in union with the community and always followed the boards from day one.

Having said that, I waited and saw NS2 grow (! ;)) from the small start (Dynamic Infestation video anyone?:)) to the big leap (pre-orders) and finally to release. Release day came and went and all was joyous, except <i>still</i> there wasn't any NS (or hell, even NS2!) merch available. So, I took it upon myself to create a webshop where NS fans could get their fill of the good olden days -- NS2 merchandise might someday come (probably will). But what about NS fans? And yes, even though I only barely played over a couple of dozen pub matches, I am one of those fans -- one of those who saw the dream behind the game and cheered all the way.

With all that said, here it is. Just Another Gamer Shop -- the place where you can get your sweet NS1 fill; where you can relieve the good olden days of bhopping and whatnot. There will be upcoming tees ("Hovars Without Flapping" would probably rank high on the list; I know I always wanted one!) along with loads of other stuff. Eventually, if things go well, I'd also like to host a new NS1 server along with an NS2 equivalent -- though that all depends on how well this goes. Ahh, well, enough of my rambling.

I also wanted to take this chance to throw out our first promo code: 1STWEEK - it will take 20% off any order over 45$, valid our first opening week (until 2/12 -12, Monday!). Additionally, any NS fan can get their crave on during the rest of 2012 by getting 10% off using this code: "NSFAN2012" (valid on all orders over 45$).

Well, it's late night here and it's time to turn in, in the morning I'll be back check this thread *holds thumbs* :)
Best regards and good hunting!

    Pretty cool to finally see even a little fanware for either NS or NS2. Would be stellar though if you figure out a way to make a gorgie plushie. I would buy like three in a heartbeat. Gonna save some money for one of each tee though cudos on the design choice being simplistic and striking.
