Forgive me if you've already seen this, but I saw this t-shirt over at Control Alt Delete (a webcomic about two gamer roommates, it's really funny), and I thought of you guys!

The DPS crew in my guild loves to use that as avatars. It's amusing.

UPS = United Parcel Service, a delivery company based in the US. Best known for their brown and goldenrod company colors and uniforms.

DPS = damage per second, a term used in RPGs to refer to classes that simply do damage as opposed to tanking, healing, etc.

]UPS[ = United Pimp Service, a clan of pure pwnage that doesn't give a crap about the semantics of clan play (i.e. tournaments and regular scheduled practice, ect.)

Just for clarification ;)

I hadn't seen that, what an awesome shirt. Unfortunately, I don't play any MMORPGs (with the exception of Hellgate London) so it's not very applicable to me. If only they'd make a similar shirt for the TF2 crowd.

It's funny, we've had our clan for years (since '01) and we love the real UPS simply because of the name association. I've got a die cast UPS truck on my geek shelf because of this.

hehe, thank you :) I knew what DPS meant, I just wasn't sure if they meant the same thing. I was just uncertain as the thread was called UPS, it said DPS on the T-shirt and the Damage Per Second DPS may not have been the same as the DPS on the t-shirt :tongue:

It has definitely been considered. Now with TF2 and UPS being in a sort of renaissance, it's a very distinct possibility that a shirt could be on it's way.
