PS3 Gets Men In Speedos
And muscles. Lovely.

None.
The Cho Aniki games might not be terribly well known to gamers raised on Nathan Drake, but back in the day these risqué adventures featured real men – Samson and Adon, both musclebound and, well, rather fond of other men.
Essentially a series of side scrolling innuendo-laden shoot-em-ups, the Cho Aniki games courted controversy when they were originally released on the PC Engine and SNES back in 1995. With ‘white energy beams’ that fire from holes in heads, pelvic thrusts and all manner of phallic imagery, it’s not hard to see why.
Regardless, it looks like the games are heading to the PS3, with the ESRB revealing the information (via Siliconera) – and the rating sounds like a wet dream for at least one member of the TSA team.
“The game depicts photo-realistic muscle men in tight Speedo underwear who defeat several fantastical enemies: giant man-powered vehicles, floating disembodied heads and noses, animal-man hybrid creatures that explode in fiery bursts,” say the ESRB.
“Some sequences depict muscle-bound men forming human pyramids, cradling each other, and posing in provocative positions (e.g., heads submerged near characters’ crotches). One boss character fires lasers from a phallic-shaped rod that extends from his hip.”
“Another giant boss character shoots out gas clouds from his buttocks.”

…and is this an inference that there may be other TSA staff who would ‘enjoy’ this type of imagery?

“animal-man hybrid” is a Husky. That’s all I’m saying.

I’m assuming tuffcub has already handed in his notice to TSA as he won’t be around for the coming months.

The funny bit is that as I typed it I thought “I bet tuffcub mentions something about ‘coming’” so that makes me as bad as you. Rejoice! :-)
Random aside: The more I look at the graphic at the top, the more those two guys look like skinned extras from the film Predator. They need some skin!
