We like girls. Pixels, polygons and even cosplay, the girls of gaming come in all shapes and sizes. But for this list they can come in only one shape: curvy. We’ve selected 25 of the sexiest video game babes EVER. So while you’re relaxing at the beach with your laptop this July 4th weekend, we thought it’d be nice to provide you with some eye candy that surpasses even the bikini-clad beach broads sitting next to you.

Happy Fourth of July, my fair readers. We will be taking today (and the weekend) to relax in sand at the beach whilst we remember America and support for our troops. In case you’ve missed it, we’ve been sneaking in beach-themed and party-themed items all week. Below is a round up of stuff you’ll find either useful or interesting for this weekend. Now go out there, have a hot dog and bun one up with the babes/dudes/sharks.
Industrial design students at Victoria University presented innovative prototypes. The project was to design and make an eco-friendly three-dimensional printer in four weeks with a limited budget.
Some crazy designs came out of the printers created but my favorite is the “Equinox”, pictured above. It focuses the power of the sun to selectively dry layers of recycled paint which in turn builds up fluid forms. It also happens to be the sweetest looking gyro I’ve ever seen.
The folks over at Google have released a new version of Google Talk designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch browsers in the US. No need to text message here because you can now chat on the go. No install or download required either, just go to google.com/talk, sign in and you’ll be on your way chatting it up with all your frienemies.
Now that the iPhone is becoming more and more like a computer everyday, who says you have to miss out on all the internet goodness when you’re away from your PC?
We’ll be taking off tomorrow for Independence Day, so here’s a great helping of links to hold you over until tomorrow’s BBQ. We’ll do a roundup of the best posts of the week for you to browse over tomorrow morning while your wife is in the shower. No worries, mate. We have ya covered.
Have great links you want showcased on Afternoon Linkage? E-mail us: tips AT gearfuse DOT com.
For those looking to ride where no man has ridden before, take a look at this U.S.S. Enterprise-inspired bike. Photographer Alan Light took this shot at the 1982 San Diego Comic Con and while it may not be fresh it certainly is fresh looking. Check out how huge that horn is! I bet it can blast the opening theme of Star Trek so loud that Geordi La Forge would be able to see the sound waves.
It just goes to show that not much has changed in 26 years. Nerds will be nerds.
Bachelors need a bar at their pad. What better way to impress your guests and lady friends than with a Super SideBar? Go to any bar in the city- you don’t choose your drinks, they’re chosen for you. It’s all about choice and personal preference these days and with the SideBar, five of your favorite thirst-depriving drinks can be tucked away underneath your counter top. With the touch of a button the dispenser on the counter will have your guests selectively choosing which among your favorites they’ll be forced to settle with.
It starts at $499 and comes assembled but the installation part is all up to you. Just make sure you don’t find yourself making out with the “booze-faucet” in front of the ladies because both of you will regret it.
Brando, maker of all things cheap and USB, has graced us with yet-another beautiful USB-powered gadget. This time around, it’s an acrylic tube speaker with blue LEDs glowing inside it. Plug in your iPod/PC and get the tunes going while you play Crysis for hours on end.
At $22, you’re not going to find anything better that’s in the same speaker class. Might as well pour yourself a cocktail full of Hypnotiq and blast some Wu-Tang like it’s 1997 all over again.
Hamburger phones, sandwich phones, pig phones, are all edible, or at least look edible. Breaking the edible theme of telecommunication comes the Beer Bottle phone. Both drinkable and breakable (to an extent) it even has a last number redial button just in case you want to call back your girlfriend who was done talking to you the moment she hung up.
If you had one of these in your room, none of your friends would ever doubt your taste in phones. However, your taste in beer would be in question. For $11.99, you can let all your friends know you like your phones like you like your beer: cheap.
What better way to show your friends what a suicidal psychopath you are with a tie that, although doesn’t look too much like a noose, is called “Neck Noose”. That’s close enough for me. Resembling a broken rope signifying your freedom from the corporate slave market, this tie comes in two flavors: a $40 silk version and a $30 microfiber design. The microfiber comes in an assortment of wacky colors to pronounce to everyone in the work place that you’ll be hanging yourself by the water cooler at around eleven o’ clock.
You’ve got to look your best even on your most glum of days. If there is anyway to get people at the office to pay attention to you, a noose around the neck would be it.
