R.I.P. Bingo.
Ah, Kanpani Girls, how we missed you. It’s been over a year since we last saw you, and you certainly have gotten…. sigh. Even though her heels aren’t that tall, it pisses me off that they added heels to historically flat footwear. I’m sure they help with agility or something. I also filled in “random patches of skin uncovered” because there was actually effort put in into showing some stomach. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
Did we mention this game has “defeated” sprites for its eyecandy mercenaries?
But this is a deep strategy game, you guys. Very Serious Business. Especially with how the game actually looks:
Man, that brown and red outfit sure reminds me of something…

With the recent re-release of Final Fantasy 12 it seemed more than appropriate that we celebrate with a Vaan appreciation post.
Think how exciting video game industry could be if instead of modelling protagonist after protagonist off B.J Blazkowicz they started looking to Vaan for inspiration.

So, to go alongside the Wonder Woman movie, DC Comics has released this series of fantasy / superhero comics: Amazons of
Themyscira. They seem to have a lot of potential and a lot going for them. Including a rather diverse cast. But, well there’s some common themes with the first three (primary) covers:
And well, the first page of the first issue:
It really makes you wonder who this DC Comics was hoping to sell this comic to. I mean if there was ever a series where they should have felt comfortable dropping the old myth sacred among marketing departments and just making a comic that’ll appeal people who like warrior women… this was it.
At least it seems they’ve moved away from this and toward imagery that is both more badass and more referential to the topical movie.

These are all screencaps from a Features Overview promo video.
So, it seems that the Tekken fanbase have either settled down and decided to spend their time playing the game (rather than searching for anyone besmirching it’s name) or moved on to protecting other games.
I have fond memories of playing the early Tekken games and I really wanted to get excited about the new Tekken game, but with the priorities on display in this trailer made it kind of hard.
Particularly telling is scene with Nina in some sort of white (bridal?) gown with a gun, where in a video to show off how well crafted the game is: there’s a rather worrying issue with the cutscene animation.
Then of course, that after all the rage directed at Konami after the last year or so… they still think the audience will be excited about Pachinko machines.
Can’t say that I’m surprised though.

Alisa Bosconovitch is an android, who despite being advanced enough to display complex emotions in decision making and think of herself as human is somehow unable to realize that her creator denied her all dignity.
The sign off team at Tekken 7 were also unable to discern the worrying implications of these kinds of designs on an android who is supposed to be modeled off the (in game) creator’s own daughter.
Finally, I may not have a Medical degree in Fashion from France, but I do believe these may be the worst heels/shoes ever conceived:
Seriously, these make even Bayonetta’s… err… Samus’ glowing pee powered, ankle breaking rocket pumps look well designed.
