Gallery of the Day - Pixelated Boobs

[major_chaos]

Classy. Good to see the Escapist doing its best to give people like Anita that much more ground to stand on. Just when I was starting to think that the people calling gaming culture a sex obsessed, testosterone poisoned, boys only club were overreacting.

People tend to forget about it for some reason. It's stuck with me all these years mainly because it's a chick jiggling her boobs in a MARIO game of all things XD

Really kinda leaves you with a dirty feeling deep in your nostalgic center, doesn't it?

 

[Screamarie]

....Poor joke, I'm not happy, but apparently getting upset over a post that is literally just "Look at these boobs!" means I'm overreacting and can't take a joke.

This is just stupid. And, joke or not, I am tired of getting smothered in other women's tits.

 

[Foolery]

This is hilarious! Post some boobs and the sexism obsessed part of the community reacts like a sleeping bear being poked with a stick.

 

[Phasmal]

This is just kind of dumb.
I'm a bit embarrassed for the Escapist.
Oh well, I'm outie.

 

[geizr]

Just enjoying watching that page-hit counter ring up the numbers, eh, fellas?

ADDENDUM: although, I have to admit, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the overall historical context.

The grass is always greener on the other side, I suppose....

Oh... OH! You mean this article. Yeah, erm... *ahem*... it's not... it's not great.

Well, considering how tabloidish a lot of the headlines and chosen news stories have been, I guess it was only a matter of time before it got its own version of the page 3 girls [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_3].

Funny that you should mention Page 3 girls, as that's the first thing that popped into my head when I read the title, yet strangely this article seems to be oblivious to the games that used actual Page 3 girls as characters (or based the characters on Page 3 girls), such as Vixen and Barbarian:

Perhaps I'm showing my age, but I remember when the pixelated boobs were really pixelated... and really boobs, not these polygonal false boobs that aren't even based on real women's boobs.

Nevertheless, there was quite a hullabaloo when these games were released, but that was more to do with their box art than the actual pixelated boobs contained within, which on their own wouldn't have caused a stir if it wasn't made obvious that they were based in real glamour models, but since in those days computer games really were seen to be the domain of children these games (or their boxes at least), were controversially perceived to be aiming porn at children.

You said "boobs" so many times, the word lost all meaning. Boobs... Booooobs...

Wow, people who post on this site almost completely lack any kind of sense of humor. I think it's a pretty great piece, if for no other reason than it simply displays how things have been for very long time and yet no one even gave a shit until recently. Gaming has boobs because women have boobs (also, gaming has pecks because guys have pecks, but that isn't really relevant here). It just displaying the sexual nature of female characters in the industry. Incidentally, this does not mention gender roles what so ever, which is actually the larger issue. Boobs aren't the issue. The other humorous half for me is how they displayed all women who could be categorized as strong women.

 

[Baresark]

.......Yeah. I love the Hell out of Dark Souls but..."Amazing Chest Ahead". The only half defense that I have is that she's supposed to be a fertility goddess, and even as I type I realize how pathetic that defense is.

Heck, at that point in the game I was glad to see anything that wasn't covered in tentacles, slime, or spikes.

I didn't know she was a fertility goddess though. Now I just feel like a boob for not putting two and two together.

I don't know about the fertility goddess thing, but the NPC is actually male. It's an illusion spell. Lord Gwyn only had sons. But the one son was feminine in nature and derived power from the moon, which is a female aspect of the cosmos. So Gwyn started referring to him as his daughter (not meant in a negative manner) because it better fit his son to be called daughter.

Why read this when I can go to pornhub?

Are you the same SnazzyMathematics that is always in the comments section of Game Grumps? xD

Why yes, yes I'm am.

Guys, I think this was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing (or maybe I'm so much of a snarker that my mental voice automatically read those little snippets below the pics in a smart-ass voice).

If I remember correctly, most of the games on this list never had the big-busted women affect the ratings of their respective games or became a big controversy. The games stood on their own. All the women did (plot-relevance aside) was provide some fanservice and inspire rule 34. However, Dragon's Crown had one big-busted woman (with all the other women being regular sized) and it got the opposite reaction, with people jumping into a debate over how it's "sexist" or something. I think that was the point here.

If this was a tongue-in-cheek post: be more over-the-top, not subtle. More people will get it then. On the other hand, this entire thing is just silly and doesn't add anything humorous or news-worthy, so I wish The Escapist didn't have it.

Ha, ha! Oh god now it feels like you're everywhere! What sorcery is this?? (And by sorcery I am of course referencing Dragon's Crown and in doing so staying on topic because said topic is STONKING GREAT TITS! *shakes fist*)

 

[MetalMagpie]

*sings* Boobs, glorious booooobs!

Lara Croft's geometric bust never fails to amuse. Those were simpler times.

Personally, I think one of the best sets of knockers in gaming belongs to Devil May Cry's Lady.

Spoiler: Pretty fabulous legs too

I'm going to pretend this was a poorly executed joke, leave the thread and never return.

Aww, cheer up. Women have boobs. Boobs are nice.

 

[Yuuki]

How the hell did they miss EDI from Mass Effect 3? I mean come on, now I'm just offended.

Also, Mai Shiranui from King Of Fighters...

And Kasumi from Dead Or Alive!

I just don't get how you can't appreciate that sexy art style, I demand those girls be added to the list. Who the hell needs Lara Croft when you have the above?

 

[Blunderboy]

Excellently done chaps.

Now in the interest of balance, where are the newsworthy cocks?
