The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Game On

[PrototypeC]

I'm rather concerned about what's happened to Ivy (the large-bosomed lass from the Soul Calibur 5 ad). Believe it or not, she's a genius-level alchemist, a noble and she's fighting a losing battle with her own mortality that she only means to postpone in order to redeem herself. The whole ruthless dominatrix thing is just a bonus.

It's like Namco accidentally wrote a good character, so they got scared and changed all her outfits to strings and dialogue to innuendo like the children they are. It's sad, but not surprising.

I just realized...after having fought him once and, watched this video twice, that Ghirahim seems to be using the Maryland Flag as a cape. Not that I'm offended I'm just kind of surprised at myself for not having picked up on it before. I was probably too busy being creeped out by the guy.

Spoiler: It's more a matter of the colors than patterns I know but check it out

I have the feeling that Bob likes Nintendo games...just a feeling.

Ok, I realize this comes bit late. But the SC5 advertisment is propably homage to this:

It's a Whitesnake album cover. Did you also know that the marketing had Voldo picture too, but people found THAT offensive.

So it's not sexist. Really. It's just "V" shaped things.
