So this is a cinematic trailer for a card game called WAR 1937 that is coming out. It’s so ridiculous and silly that I can’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. How are developers still getting away with making this kind of stuff?

What did I just watch? O_o

Someone… anyone?

Wait, did someone watch Kill la Kill and think that the concept would work better if it was rendered in high definition and without the sense of goofy self awareness?

(Also we’ve been informed by a number of followers that the “setting” for this game is the Nanking Massacre, an actual horrific real life event – the tastelessness just keeps on compounding)

That time bikini armor went real life. Who could have guessed that this was actually a side project by a guy who was trying to make a game that turned into a legendary crowfunding disaster?

Their website is archived here, including a page where they later explained why these was “high-function” and “protective”.  Because the corsets were (allegedly) made of the same materials as military webbing.  What part of the soldier’s kit is webbing you ask?

Even Invista, the manufacturers of the Codura fabric quoted, don’t recommend it as material for protecting your torso against attacks, just as part of footwear and other gear.

This didn’t however, stop them being promoted as protective and even bullet-proof (check out the New York times column on them) even though they were essentially an awkward alternative to a tactical vest.  (Notice for the most part the models use everything but their corsets to carry their gear).

So it’s actually kind of a good thing that people weren’t receiving their orders, otherwise there could have been people out there expecting to get real protection out of what basically amounted to an overpriced, “empowering” nylon corset.  Because “empowerment”.

Do you see what bikini armor has done to this world?

I felt this one was worth bingo’ing specifically due to it having something in common with the Cammy pre-order outfit.  Apparently there is a real shortage of “crotch material” in the worlds of video games, and there is no limit to Sophita’s cruel transformation.

Designers, if you want to focus a costume on bits that you don’t have – consider doing some basic research on those bits.  Maybe ask some questions to people you know who have the bits.

For the good of everyone. Please.
