Next time you're running around your local Target, keep an eye out for some indie gaming love. The Experimental Gameplay Project has recently launched its own clothing line: EGPApparel. The shirts are appearing in Targets all across the United States, each featuring a particular independently-developed title. As if that wasn't filled with enough awesome on its own, each shirt includes the full version of the indie game. That's an awesome t-shirt, and an awesome game, for only $12 USD.
There are currently eight shirts in production, featuring indie titles like Tower of Goo, Big Vine, Gravity Head, Gish, and more. According to Tower of Goo developer Kyle Gabler, the shirts are appearing in Target stores nationwide, but have not yet reached every last chain location. Of course, the more people who run out and feverishly buy all eight designs, the more likely Target will be to ramp up distribution. We're just saying.
Check out a full list of participating Targets in California after the break.
The following list is of all known Target stores in California carrying the EGPApparel shirts. Targets in other states are also participating, but the only available list is for California:

And somehow I can relate to these shirts much more than Nascar, Harley Davidson, and Budweiser....

Damn it. I was at Target last night doing our baby registry. I didn't even realize. Looks like I'm going back tonight for one of these bad boys! Can anyone recommend a good one to start with?

I went to the Albany, CA location last weekend in search of these, and came up empty. In fact, we left the entire damned store without buying a thing! How's that supposed to help the economy? I guess I'll have to trek down to San Leandro, according to the list of stores.
And besides, can't I just buy these online already? *waves credit card threateningly*

Dang. I was in Target just a few days ago... Not as if there isn't like 4 within 15 mins of my house.

Oh yeah, this is an awesome idea. I didn't read the title and at first thought these were just tee's, which would have been pretty neat by themselves... but they come with a game? All for $12?! I'm so doing that.
Anyone recommend any of the games? I've played the free flash of Tower of Goo and thought that was fun...

My Target had these babies on clearance for around $9.50 at Cedar Rapids, IA. There's a good number of them left and a good variety too. Hope this doesn't mean the thing was a failure. This is an awesome idea and a good deal.

Saw them over at my Target, but they were already clearanced out at $8 and didn't have fat man sizes (2XL).
