Boobs and butt pose aside, I kinda like how her outfit looks like she murdered Frieza from Dragon Ball and made clothes (and random belts) out of him. xD
Somehow, her pose is still less painful looking than the sexy Spartan from the same game that’s been on this blog before.

Cassie showing off the boobs and butt pose and then seeming VERY enthusiastic about finding out if her lasso would drain her own life. >_>

“Kaine from the NieR promo comics by DC/Wildstorm. I will defend the outfit as the game not only justifies it but genuinely ties it into her character development and backstory. (this isn’t me being facetious, go play NieR) however… the rest of it is just so off. Including the face. Kaine doesn’t ever even get CLOSE to that kind of expression.”
This is what happens when you’re setting up your display of battle lingerie because corporate says the next big thing is sexy barbarian chic, but also you can’t quite get the legs and butt to fit together with the top of the mannequin and you’re like, whatever, it’s my last day anyway, and it’s almost closing…

I was looking through old UK gaming magazines with friends trying to source something, and I ran into this cover which… is something. Also I think history class misled me about the Magna Carta. Clearly it was a charter of rights for breasts to be free of their hosts. xD
Anyway, with the art and the game title “Magna Carta” and the magazine title, I figure there’s a lot to work from here for a caption contest, so let’s have one!
Caption the image. What’s happening? What are they doing? You can include the text in your caption to make a joke or whatever if you want to play on it, but you don’t have to.
Submit your captions here using reblog or reply, by email at eschergirls@gmail.com or on the main site using Disqus comments.
I’ll pick the best/funniest captions for winners in two weeks!
Winners can get a choice of prizes if they want, but you don’t need to accept a prize to participate if you just want to participate for fun!
Good luck everybody!

Reminder that the April caption contest is still going and will run for another week until Friday!
Winners will be announced on Sunday, so get your captions in if you want to participate!

“File this under "The artist’s barely disguised fetish”
It took me a minute to realize, but she’s supposed to be wearing this style of fetish shoe (ballet heels).
To WAR. She’s going to WAR. In THOSE.“
Nothing wrong with fetish shoes. PROBABLY not a good idea to wear them in war though, but what do I know? I don’t exist in the post-apocalyptic space war universe. Maybe one needs to stand on their tippy-toes to see the entire battlefield. Maybe having hooves commands respect. Maybe the soldiers are better motivated knowing that their commanders are suffering as much as they are standing in those things.
Maybe my brain is just melting. That happens too when I stare at my inbox too long.

This was shown to me by somebody on Discord and this is apparently part of a review of the game? And… what… just… what… Everything about this is so cringe. Like, why even mention Claris just to imply that they would admit to lusting over her if she was of legal age? That’s so creepy, even as a joke.
And everything about Tillis is just so weird. Like they call her a cool and strong female lead, but then there’s that weird tangent about how hot she is that their Art Editor is drooling over her and just… why… why anything. xD 90s gaming mags were certainly something…
Also, the internet would very much prove this writer wrong about people not being hot and bothered for Amy Rose >_>
As for the picture itself, all I can think of is “We have Asuka Evangelion at home.”

Burning Ranger: Raunch Factor 10
It’s about time that the Sonic Team produced a strong female lead for one of their games. After all, no-one’s really got all hot and bothered about Amy Rose from the Sonic games (insert your own hedgehog-based “prick” gag here). And as for the “budding” 15 year-old Claris in NiGHTS… well, we’re not saying anything. Not until we’ve cleared it thoroughly with our legal people.
The advent of Burning Rangers brings an end to this sad, sordid tale. Tillis is cool. In fact, our very own Art Editor, Mr McEvoy has this very image on his desktop at work. When we think he’s staring at his latest layout for the mag, he’s actually drooling feverishly at the picture you’re looking at on this page. The words “pervert” and “colossal” spring to mind…

I thought this looked familiar. Apparently it’s a modern redux of an old Marvel trading card of Magik (a literal Magik card for those that like puns >_>)
It doesn’t look much better cleaned up, and if anything the weirdness of the entire pose is just more visible. She looks like a centaur angry that you stole her front legs.

Is Elektra supposed to be like… skateboarding on ice or something? What is going on with her legs?
Also, that dialogue is very “men writing women”.

Transcript of text boxes:
A whole bunch of Ukrainian pimps armed to the teeth with ex-KGB hardware…
A few home grown allies with customized glocks and berettas…
A young girl, scared witless relying on Elektra to get her out of the hole she’s in…
And my hair’s probably gone frizzy, too, she thinks.
