I ordered an ASUS video card for one of the engineers here who wants dual monitor support. When the box arrives, there's a large photo of what I assume is ASUS' depiction of the ultimate nerd's fantasy.

She's a svelte thing wearing warrior garb and she's holding bow of some sort. She's got a leather helmet adorned with feathers covering her forehead, but open on the top so that her long tresses can flow free. Of course, she has a leather quiver holding a few arrows and gauntlet gloves. Her top has a lot of leather trim, but chain spaghetti straps and an exposed midriff. We all know that in battle, it's more important to look hot than to protect one's upper body! She's wearing big dangly earrings and plenty of make-up.

After de-chubbing when I first saw this, I was a little insulted that so stereotypical an image is used to titillate us geeks. Will the legacy of Xena never die?

LINK TO A SCAN!!!

how can your measly words do justice to that work of art? ;)

by charliespencer

but I think their trying to demonstrate the graphics capabilities of the card under gaming stress. Yeah, that's it.

by dadspad

Archers tend to stay back of warriors, so do not use much armor. Since it must be a warm climate, she dresses for work lightly.

See,simple! :D

Thanks for posting pic, was wondering what the box looked like.

by jaqui

take a look at the Poser art world.
Victoria, with a sword, in a temple.

Victoria usually only wearing lingerie.

by deadly ernest

they have so much of her sans clothes avec huge swords, it's not funny. Often the swords are bigger than she is.

by jaqui

was of Vicky with the sword, in HER right temple. :D

someone actually spoofed the theme. :D

by deadly ernest

buxom Vicky with the hands cupped on the hilt of the sword and her chin on the sword while standing upright, the bar of the hand guard vanished under the breasts to just reappear a little bit on each side of her. The blade was about two hand width's thick. It left me wondering how she was supposed to use the sword or was she just supposed to lean all over it all day.

by jaqui

:D

you do know that the infamous poser artist Stormrage is my wife don't you?

or wander over to Daz3D, the community admin and platimum club product tester is her current employment.

by jaqui

warning near nudity

update - just got informed those without accounts can't view. Sorry. I can't post the images elsewhere as they aren't mine and I do NOT violate other people's copyright.

by jdclyde

I explained that is because the same dorks that spend $2k on a pc to play games are also the same dorks that will pleasure themselves to a cartoon, such as the xrated anime...

by dmambo

Ummm, that is I WOULD like them that way if not for the overpowering purity.

As the drivers were loading and I was gazing at the box, I came to appreciate this chick's looks. Appears to be in terrific shape and has a lovely face. The purity is a curse as well as a blessing. :(

...as the Global Knowledge catalogs:
http://www.globalknowledge.com/training/generic.asp?pageid=9&country=United+States

With the video card, at least you know it is a fake, and could be argued away as a rendering of what could be done with the card.

Let me tell you, zero, nada, zip, zilch, NONE of the females from the covers of the Global Knowledge course catalogs are ever in any of the classes.

Only worse instance of bogus advertising was the whole Virgin Islands thing. A drunk sailor on shore leave is more wholesome than some of the 'ladies' on them islands. Hrrmmph! X-(

by jdclyde

but if you follow some of the side links, their is simulated nudity.

if it is cartoons, does it really count as nudity?

by deadly ernest

some times the images of the women are hard to tell between the photos and the rendered work, some of the people are brilliant in their creations.

by charliespencer

The publicly available portions gave me a general sense of what we're talking about. 'Create your own softcore' for those who can't talk their girlfriends into cosplay posing.

by jaqui

I was given the rights to this one by the artist. He seemed to think it's no big deal.

I'm sure this one will be familiar:

and most people miss this one, naturally, I'm the person what made it.

OK, guys. Let me interject something. I have not seen this picture, but it sounds like what I've seen on some older fantasy novels' covers.

I'll say this... First, if you are as "endowed" as these women are, an itty bitty cup and small chains aren't going to contain the girls. There's a reason why viking women wore metal breast plates. It's because if you're that big, you need something heavy duty to lock and load the girls. Getting hit in that area is like a guy taking a crotch shot. The exception are those women who've been "enhanced" by a plastic surgeon. If they're big, and the woman isn't wearing a seriously good bra, and they are above the navel, then they're fake.

If you're endowed and you're in battle, swinging a sword, or even running, and you don't have some serious support, you risk knocking your self out. Plus, they get in the way. You can't get full swing with your sword because the girls are in the way.

OK, you may now continue your discussion. This has been a public service announcement.

by jdclyde

I have heard the discussion of "real vs fake" debated for years. If I can see them, they are as real as I need! :D

As for the rest, it is why I love the shoulder harness seatbelts. Shooting pool is cool too!

The pic is actually very tame compared to most, but of amazing quality, almost photo quality.

by bfilmfan

A number of female warrior societies generally bound the breasts tightly with cloth to prevent them from being loose in battle.

Of course, Frazetta's women (and that is who the artists are paying homage to with those images) never lived in the real world.

I've always wondered what his wife thinks of his work?

by bfilmfan

I see that some graphic artist is a Frazetta fan!

http://frankfrazetta.org/

Frank's work in the pulp's and illustrating early fantasy paperback covers has guaranteed that someone, somewhere is always going to think it is visually interesting to have an anatomically impossible woman holding onto a piece of major weaponry.

by jdclyde

while not something you want to ever see in the meat world, it is definitely a hot visual..... :D

just some nice green leather thongs. Some nice ones to tie the hands out of the, another tied tightly around the offender's appendage, and a one tied around the testicles. Make sure they're all tied tightly while soaking wet and leave the victim where they'll dry out in reasonably short order. Stand back and listen to the screams.

See what you can learn when you read sufficient history.

by praveengeorgeus

You put down the fantasies of we geeks so well :-> , but when it comes to actual selection i doubt whether the criterias are these. then again there is always the pragmatic geek and the idealist ..

by deadly ernest

take ANY girls as a long term mate, as any girl is infinitely better than no girl, which is the usual situation.

by boxfiddler

Think excessively evil, mean, and nasty. Think lots of screaming and screaming and screaming...

by deadly ernest

in the public domain anyway.

I could've mentioned some greats that aren't - like strip the wires at one end of a power lead, spread the filaments out and superglue the red to one testicle, the black to another, plug in, turn on, and viola you have electric toasted nuts avec screaming. Is that the sort of thing you don't want mentioned.

by mdhealy

As a male, I am offended by the implication that my technical purchasing decisions could be influenced by gratuitous images.

I would imagine many female colleagues would be offended by the objectification.

And I know exactly what my wife would think if she saw the box.

by jdclyde

or you would not act surprised to see this. Hardly something new.

As for taking offense, anyone who would choose to be offended by something that simple has more issues with their life to worry about. Life is to short to walk around looking for things to pretend to be insulted by.

by hal 9000

I'm surprised that anyone looks at the Boxes.

As far as things like that go I'm only interested in the Sticker on the end of the box with the Specifications of what is inside the box. Perhaps I need a life. ;\

But as I don't see the boxes before I collect then after ordering things I generally speaking just don't look. ;)

DM is beginning to get me worried by starting this thread off I might add. :^0

stop it now!!!

It matters not that the info is out there -- what matters is that the TR women do not use it on me -- and if you tell them -- then Scummy ends up

I know the evil that is done FOR getting to the "V", but didn't realize the "V" itself were evil.

Makes sense though.... :0

Men spend nine months to get out of one, and spend the rest of their lives trying to get back into the rest of them.... :D

by the scummy one

when I was watching this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3OdFWpdjqE
That one always makes me laugh.

I almost choked to death -- laughing hard while eating :0

Mmmmmmm
and then the 3rd one -- you like watching women getting hurt to much I think... But still good for a laugh

mmmmmmmmmm -- Holy Shlt -- she made the shot :0 I want her to pull my :0

by deadly ernest

you don't have to worry about being lit up, but watch out at Christmas because that's when people REALLY get into roasting nuts.

But you AREN'T the one who really has to worry. One of the all time favourite songs and activities for Christmas in the US is

Roasting Ches' nuts on an open fire - it really beats me how he can put up with it.
