Well, it's an overly happy furry with some text balloons with pants, a happy face, and an X over what seems to be panties. How does this illustrates getting a Cosmetic Award after a long quest?

I remember that Grand Theft Auto Vice City had one of these with a nice lampshade hung on it. What do you think about a cropped and resized version of this for example?

It's a little hard to read the text, but it's still a significant improvement.

Find a shot where the shirt is properly legible, and I will support it fully.

After enhancing the quality of every single pixel, moving the picture through the Z axis, and changing his 3D model position with the power of photoshop, these are the results.

I prefer the first of those images; it's easier to read sice the high-contrast areas are sharper. There's some noise around the shoulders, though, so could you select the background separately and enhance that too? tongue

8.1 gets my vote at the moment.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Are there any larger screencaps of that shirt?

Post# 8.1 is funny and gets down to the point. It gets my vote.

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

Could this use a caption? Maybe something like "I wasted thousands of civilians, police and military for this!?".

EDIT: Or maybe "I wasted thousands of civilians, police and military for this. Worth It."

There seems to be full suport here, but I'd rather wait for a few more comments. I don't want a dopeslap for making the move too early, even though the current picture doesn't show anything of the trope.

I like the image.

Although I'm mildly concerned that the page quote says the exact same phrase, albeit about the secret treasure of Mêlée Island™.

[up] I'd say we can lose the quote. The pic is up, potholed, and tagged. Do we want to use one of the suggested captions, or just something like "...but it was worth it!" ?

[up] Maybe swap the pagequote for the only quote on the Quotes subpage. (Although all it is is the trope name, sourced to Animal Crossing, which is apparently the Trope Namer. Not that great.)

That feels way too redundant for my tastes.

I like "...but it was worth it!" or "I wasted thousands of civilians, police and military for this. Totally worth it."
