I can’t find the source for this exact ad. As far as I can tell, it’s either from a game called Last Origin or it’s using art stolen from it. Or it’s advertising an anime fruit smuggling business where you smuggle fruit across international borders using anime girls… which might be a lucrative business. I hope their backs are okay.
My current fascination for video games is Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (or Re-Reckoning as the re-release is titled) and its weird development history (a good game that unfortunately came out a few months after a little game known as… The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim >_> ) and how it was at one point owned by the state of Rhode Island due to the company going bankrupt and unable to payback a government grant.
And while watching my friend play the game and looking up a character, I ran (re-ran?) into the promotional art of sexy rubber worm assassin girl Alyn Shir that has been on this blog before (but much less clear). So I figured I’d re-share it given that the Reckoning has been Re-Reckoned with.
Also, does that mean at one point the Rhode Island taxpayers technically owned an Escher Girl? ::Thinking Emoji::

The blonde girl has the typical chest & breast exposing female knight armor, but I’m pretty impressed by the military officer woman’s outfit which looks like she spilled pasta sauce on her uniform while eating and thought it was better to wash it before the stains set in and just lead her troops without anything under her coat.
Saw this gross ad on YouTube, the whole ad is just as bad and he keeps talking about *the level of detail* and I’m just 🤮
I guess we need a tag for misleading censorship now with the way those clouds over Gaia are trying to imply she’s doing something naughty under them (and over the Earth?? Insert your preferred weather-related joke here.) Also, despite the ad’s suggestion, the suggestiveness in the ad is surprisingly tame given some of the other mobile ads out there. At least this one isn’t promising us an orgy. xD
