Chainmail Bikini: Special Edition!

One of the more enjoyable webcomics of the last couple years was Chainmail Bikini, written by Shamus Young, drawn by Shawn Gaston, and (originally) hosted by Fear the Boot.

The comic ended abruptly after a fairly limited run, but it was a great dig at gamers in a Knights of the Dinner Table fashion. The archetypes are different, but more current.

Anyway, Shawn and Shamus recently relaunched Chainmail Bikini. They’ll be going through the original run of the comics but not much beyond that point, which is fine because what they did manage to put out is awesome. If you’re an old fan, you probably stopped reading several paragraphs ago. If you’re new, then I recommend going over and checking it out.

Hot and blue!

Even though he’s very late in taking the piss of Mass Effect, Shamus Young has some interesting points regarding the Asari in general, and the consort in particular.

Personally I’m slightly disturbed by xenoeroticism, but Bioware obviously thought there was a market for that sort of thing. Can anybody tell me they weren’t at least somewhat put off by the whole notion of sticking it inside the blue thing with tentacles on her head?

Oh yeah, Lucas did it first with the Twi’lek.
