Breast Physics
Here’s some serious scholarship on the state of T&A in today’s videogames. My favorite passage:
Nowadays, you almost wouldn’t bother to ship a game without some kind of T&A angle; serious people use the phrase “breast physicsâ€? without irony. Female leads are common–and if they tend heavily, if not exclusively, toward an adolescent bondage-fantasy aesthetic, well… is “fetish pinup ninjaâ€? not an improvement on “kidnapped girlfriend?â€?
Do I really have to choose? Why can’t I have both?

The story is told of Howard Hughes having his aircraft engineers design a special bra for Jane Russell, so that she could display her charms in The Outlaw without jiggling too much. Obviously, breast physics is a discipline with a long and honorable history.
Bigger breasts makes female heroines (of video games) more heroic!
I think both is a fantastic idea – the fetish pinup ninja could kidnap the girlfriend. And possibly do (*gasp*) unspeakably wicked things to her, causing her to have that traditional pulp comicbook cover look, with the disheveled hair and half-ripped clothing.
I think Olfa might have a point, especially in the first person shooters… Seriously.
