Think geek and sexy girls (or guys for that matter) with very little on does not usually come to the front of your imagination. That could all change as controllers built into underwear make pressing all the right buttons much more interesting...
Let's start with the new kid on the surprising gamers products block:
the Geekini. The Geekini is, as the name suggests, a bikini
for geeks. Strategically placed buttons from a Nintendo games
controller make all the difference, but it could be 'game over' if you
tried pressing any without explicit prior permission...
I will admit to being more than a little biased, but wherever I see the
words geek, game and girl all used together then I start to break out
in a cold sweat.
Throw in mention of a bikini and my interest is guaranteed. So I could hardly believe it when someone pointed me in the direction
of what promised to be a bikini invented just for games geeks.
All hail John Nouanesing, the French designer who came up with the
concept. Then take back those hails as you realise it is just that, a
concept.
Shame, as the idea of a slinky two-piece bikini with Nintendo games
controller buttons in all the right places does have a certain appeal.
Albeit, I admit, an overtly old-school sexist one.
As one blogger
noted
"it’s a little cheesy, but it beats those shorts with “Juicy” embossed
on the ass."
Yet 'Intimate Controllers' are
nothing new, and have actually made the leap from drawing board to
pre-production working model before now.
So how do
intimate video controllers work, and how did JennyLC come up
with this novel idea for pressing each others buttons? Find out on page
