the final page of a review of Burning Ranger from Sega Saturn UK Magazine that says "And finally Tillis. Burning Ranger: Raunch Factor 10" showing an illustration of a red haired anime girl leaning forward with her breasts in a tight red catsuit pushed toward the camera. The text is about how horny their editor is for her and how he has pictures of her on his computer. The screenshots are of her blocky Sega Saturn form.

We have Asuka at home (and we are extremely horny for her)

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.

cover of Astonishing X-Men Vol. 4 #1, Unknown Comics variant, showing Magik (blonde woman in the X-Men yellow and black jumpsuit) with a metal arm holding a sword over her head, her butt is tilted at the audience viewpoint so both her buttcheeks are visible while her back is arched 90 degrees so her butt is thrusting back and her chest is facing the audience

Centaur Magik Is Mad You Stole Her Front Legs

I thought this looked familiar.

Panel from Eletrka vol. 1 #4 showing Elektra defending a blonde girl in a green sleeveless tank top from men surrounding her who are apparently Ukrainian pimps, Elektra is standing facing the audience with her arms out and the girl behind her, her butt is thrust back with her legs forward and one bending below her crotch, her calves are vertical to her knee, so she's basically sitting in an invisible chair, or sliding and about to fall down, the dialogue boxes are about the danger & also her hair

Elektra's Slipping On Ice But At Least Her Hair Isn't Frizzy

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".

This AI-generated Waifu Ad Future Sucks

So apparently Lyssa: Goddess of Rage, that game that probably uses AI generated art, has rebranded itself to "Lyssa

page from PLAY Magazine's Girls of Gaming showing a girl from SSX 3 drawn in a style with big eyes and large lips and tiny nose, her breasts defy gravity inside her top as she flips 180 in the air, but they also fly into the air when she jumps in the panels, in the foreground she's lying on the ground in a boobs and butt pose with her butt tilted at the audience viewpoint and her breasts pressed against the ice floor and her lips pouting, text says "pump them all full of silicone and take the easy way out"

At least she's not a "Damsel In Distress"

Flipping through PLAY Magazine's "Girls of Gaming" with my friends a little bit ago, and helium balloon snowboa

cover of Immortal Red Sonja #8 showing red sonja in a ponytail in scalemail armor which are long sleeves and cropped under her ribs and brown pants, she's standing in a boobs and butt pose holding a sword as hands rise from the ground around her

"Boooobbbbssss" "Buuuutttssss..."

"Boooobbbbssss annndd Buuuutttssss... rawrrrr"

ad for Goddess of Victory: Nikke showing a tan skinned anime woman with purple/grey hair in a white tube top pushing her breasts up and wearing a big puffy white jacket talking into a microphone, her legs are crossed underneather her and may or may not be attached to her body

Nikke's back, back again

haveievermentioned submitted:

"Got this Nikke ad! She was talking about a concert she was planning. I hope she can still sing."

cover of PLAY magazine #45 showing a girl in a tight orange dress that hugs her breasts and encases them separately, where her breasts look like water balloons and have seemingly no support, she is standing with her hip thrust out and the viewpoint is looking up at her breasts, behind her a person with a tight outfit around their pecs/breasts with white hair stands holding a sword, the magazine advertises for a game named "Magna Carta"

April 2024 Caption Contest: The Magna Chesta?

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.

April 2024 Site Update and March Patron Thank You!

Hi everybody!

3 panel comic strip ad for "Fear Effect 2" that says "When Girls Come Together" showing a blonde woman and a dark haired woman both wearing skintight black catsuits, in the first panel their faces are next to each other with the caption "A mercenary's guide to a successful job, Step 1: get yourself a partner", in panel 2 the two girls are holding guns with their butts thrust out "Step 2: get hold of some guns... lots of guns", panel 3 says "Step 3: Learn how to deliver those snappy hollywood one-liners"

Girls Get It (Back Pain) Done

They are a canon lesbian couple, so that's good at least. I do like them as characters.
