Cartoon Of The Day: Chase Scene

 

 Taken at the Fantasy Faire. Going about the grounds, I saw two women running, the one in back in armor with a mace and shield. It certainly looked like she was chasing her. So why might be? With it being a few days after Easter, I could think of one reason.

Cartoon of The Day: When The DJ's A Dragon

 

 Taken at Club Cutlass's Heavy Metal Night. Among the DJs at the club is DJ Geerkil, who usually shows up in a full-sized dragon avatar who either has to sit beside the music booth, or stand on the retractable roof. Needless to say, things could get a bit heavy for those underneath if it failed.

Cartoon of the Day: Shinny Armor



Taken at Club Cutlass. Valkyrie Ice shows off another set of bikini armor. While we've done this sort of cartoon before about armor that provides no real protection other than to distract the heck out of males, the joke she cracked led to the dialogue that made this different enough.

Cartoon of the Day



Taken at Club Cutlass, Valkyrie Ice shows off her succubus' "assassin's outfit." Skimpy outfits for women fighters, armor and otherwise, has become quite a cliche in gaming. Perhaps it's the result of perverted designers. Or maybe, just maybe, such outfits actually do offer some practical advantages.

Cartoon of the Day



A TOG II tank, probably the most popular of the Premium tanks in the "World of Tanks" online game, that I found in SL. As it had a VICE combat system, looks like one would be able to have a tank match with it as well. But would it's slow speed mean it depends almost completely on it's WoT popularity to even see a battlefield here?

My friend Val's fantasy mage armor. As revealing as it is, even if it could magically protect from harm, would it help against gropey hands?

Cartoon of the Day


Miyuki shows off her metal bikini. One gaming cliche that never seems to end despite all the jokes, is just how skimpy female armor is compared to the guys. In a fight even remotely realistic, it would be close to useless, especially to protecting vitals. Probably the only place I could imagine it's use would be for the female guards of a pervy villain's lair, one whom was more concerned with his desires than keeping out adventurers.
