DoA Volleyball - Live The Bikini Dream

Posted by simoniker on from the definitely-a-weekend-post dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing to a Gamers.com article discussing the sale of limited-edition bikinis based on the Team Ninja-designed virtual costumes from Dead Or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball for Xbox. The article says that "..the Echo (Lei-Fang's schoolgirl suit) has been left out, leaving Tina's Asterope, Kasumi's Amaterasu, Ayane's Lamina, and Hitomi's Cepheus. Each can be had for the modest price of $149.99, which we deem quite reasonable for such coveted items." And if you're having trouble visualizing these 'unique' products, the Tecmo USA store has pictures of the available-for-pre-order bikinis (a tipster says "..try changing the JPG image numbers for some added perspective.")

    They look like something you would find at Walmart, or K-Mart.

      Hmm....ever go bikini shopping with your girlfriend?

      Bikini shopping is the most difficult/painful experience in the world. You spend the entire time attempting to tell her that she DOES look good, and yes this one is good. Even saying "I like that one the most" (Translation- the all look good...lets get the fuck outta here) Brings up the question of "what is wrong with the other ones". It's difficult.

      So, I wanna say that there are a few big differences between these and Walmart. They cost $149 and they are not at Walmart. That is goooooood. A bikini is all about the woman feeling good about herself. She isn't going to feel good in this year's Walmart special, or god-forbid last year's Walmart special.

      Spend the money on the more expensive bikini- she'll feel good, and she'll make you feel good.

      Additional note- bikini's are NOT all about women feeling good, they are about guys checking them out. But, guys don't really care what the bikini looks like- just the smaller, the better. When I was younger, 'french cut' was all the rage- now it is the low-rider effect. I like them both, as long as I get to see a lot of titty and ass. But really- if you are buying it, spend the extra dough- it will go a long way. And if you are shopping with her, don't make her pay for it- you benefit from it too.

      Oh and I would like to add-

      The brunette was hot. The blonde first of all, was not really a blonde (obviously), and secondly she looked too young. MOST chicks can be hot when they are 17-19. Show me the ones who are hot later on in life.

      I would love to do some scientific research, so I could predict which ones will be hot all their lives. This way you don't get married in your 20's to someone who looks good, but ends up being an ugly beast. (It happened to me once) This is information that could be very very valuable. Although the 'look at her mother' advice is probably good. I didn't meet the mother until much later, I think she was blocking it from happening in order to keep up the charade.

      Just to let you know, that painful 13.7 years of my life ended a few years ago and I have since made much wiser decisions.

    The bikini's also cost more than any other outfit I wear that COVERS MY BODY.
