The left half of the above pic is a nipple-licious stripper skin from the European PC version of Tomb Raider: Legend that Xboxic (post not entirely safe from work) speculates might be responsible for possibly delaying the April 11 U.S. release of the game. The right half is the same skin after applying an areola-erasing patch. Eidos denies that the U.S game has been delayed, but our fellow bloggers have provided pretty solid proof that Legend was indeed smuggling raisins overseas.
Is Eidos performing a last minute emergency nipplectomy on the U.S. PC and 360 versions to spare American kids the horror of seeing something they used to suck on everyday—narrowly avoiding the next Hot Coffee scandal? Will Senator Cankles and her Fundie bedfellows be able to sleep at night knowing they missed an opportunity to further demagogue games as pixelated pornography? Only Lara knows for sure, and she's keeping her shirt on.
(I swear this is the last breast-related post for a while.)

Sometimes you just have to laugh at the irony...
I can get a reward in Ghost Recon for 500 headshot kills... each one in full blood splattering and head kicked back detail. But should someone try to render a person in actual form... watch out.
Anyone else find it funny that violence is normalized, but sex is forbidden?

It's not funny. It's friggin' sad. This country's puritanical bent makes me sick in my mouth.

I usually simply don't open webpages with "nipple" in the title at work.

Hey Kritz, if this site gets you in trouble at work, maybe Eidos will give you a job photoshopping nipples.

Yeah, unfortunately we can't risk getting blocked by the corporate blacklists that don't already censor game-related sites. It's sad for America alright.

#1 If you want accuracy human anatomy, then you're barkin' up the wrong tree. How many chicks actually have 32DDD breasts anyway?
The Tomb Raider female image IS highly sexualized. It has nothing to do with Puritanism. Overt sexuality is arousing. Look at it this way. Arnold movies don't make people want to go out and shoot stuff. But Porn sure as hell gets guys "in the mood" (so to speak).
I do have some misgivings on both sides of the fence, but I don't see as much of a double standard as the reactionary posts tend to state.
