Kotaku: underwear

Will You Fight For Gratuitous Slow-Motion Panty Shots?

Mike Fahey — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:20:00 MDT

Namco Bandai's remarkably subtle and slow "What Will You Fight For?" viral videos for Tekken 6 get a lot less subtle the second time around.

Women in their underwear fighting over shoes...there is absolutely no way I could comment on the contents of this video without being accused of being a sexist pervert, and I am slightly tired of such accusations, so instead I will pose a question. What the hell is that red thing the second set of combatants is swinging around? It's driving me insane. Please send help.

UPDATE: Readers are telling me the red thing is a hair straightener, or flat iron. Not having hair myself, I never would have guessed. I love you guys.

God of War Shirts, Heavenly Sword Boxers, Others On Their Way

Sony today revealed that they have granted licensing agreements for some of their top games with four apparel companies. The result will be a slew of t-shirts, hats, boxers, even something called "loungewear" featuring the artistic stylings from such Playstation greats as God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword and Little Big Planet.

I can't friggin wait to lay about in my house wearing nothing more than a pair of LittleBigPlanet whitey-tighties under my silk God of War smoking jacket while I sip cognac and pass judgment on the gaming world.

IV Gear already has their list of games up, but no product pics yet.

So excited. List of companies and silly quotes on the jump.

Check Out This Reader's Xbox 360 Underwear

Game cakes? Regular occurrence. But game underwear, now that's special. And personal. Longtime reader Scazza gave us an intimate look at what covers his, erm, stuff. Scazza writes:

I know Kotaku has a very unhealthy obsession with cakes (can't blame you), however I think your apparel coverage is lacking, but I was out shopping today and stumbled across Xbox 360 Boxers in Zellers, I think they are a canadian only store. The fanboy inside me screamed and I picked up a pair, or three. I looked around but did not see any other gaming related ones, but I think the Wii boxers would have been a little odd anyway.

So next time you see Scazza around the comment section, try not to dwell on the fact you've seen his underoos and be happy that you haven't seen him in his underoos.

Thanks Scazza for the pic!

Achievement Unlockedwear

We finally understand that whole achievement addiction syndrome. But we'd still avoid using the old rubber band trick.

For those who'd like to add a bit of sexual objectification to your otherwise very healthy, loving and mutually-respectful relationship, this feisty garment will run you $13.

Mario Pantsu

Are they still pantsu if they're not ladies' underwear?

These fungophilic boxer shorts are by Stylin' Online, and have a delightfully stilted product description:

This is an officially licensed Nintendo Mario Boxer. These Boxers has been screen printed with a Mario design. These particular Mario boxer shorts have a button fly.

Must. Use. Mario. In every. Sentence! Ngggh! Eliza Gauger
