I like to feel that I'm different in that I've given up T.V. I don't watch a thing. I was watching Game of Thrones but I bought the books and have blazed past the show already and will watch the series when its over. My replacement for T.V. has arrived in the form of live streams. I frequent Twitch.tv, the irony there is not lost to me, for my eyeball grabbing layabout entertainment of choice.
Twitch is mostly about gaming. Hundreds of people playing hundreds of different titles that sometimes thousands of people watch with the streamer. Its interactive T.V. Really cool but not the subject of the post unfortunately. Among the various channel selections are ads. You can't avoid ads, they're part of life now. One ad in particular has been trying to jump down my throat with its every passing moment. The ad was for Scarlet Blade. I killed it like the plague it was turning into whenever it arose. That was the case until I got curious as I am wont to do.
Holy fuck sticks. A quick Google search followed by Youtube videos and I developed a shame for humanity I wasn't aware of I could feel.
Scarlet Blade is a free MMO from overseas. It was imported to the states because America has done some stupid shit in its game development days, it at least had to modesty to pull back a bit. Scarlet Blade does no such thing. It looked at the line and drove over it going 90 mph playing Cherry Pie by Warrant.
Scarlet Blade is about tits essentially. All of the playable classes are females. All of them make Barbie think she's fat and needs liposuction. I watched a character creation video. I will not link it because I'm already ashamed to admit that. In it were some of the skimpiest "beginner" customizations I have ever seen. Strippers. . .I mean Exotic Dancers, would be embarrassed by this. I've seen more modesty in Renaissance Era paintings. Aphrodite herself would look down from Olympus and tell the girls to put some clothes on.
Granted, I didn't get much farther than the initial "Holy shit. Her tits are literally bigger than her head!?" visuals to delve much deeper into it. I'm sure somewhere back in time a great great great grandmother of mine suddenly feels disappointment in her family and doesn't know quite why. Sorry, great great great grandmother, curiosity got the better of me.
Like all of my close personal friends would do after this discovery, I will share it with them. If I'm going to embarrassed, so must they. I can't wait.
