When we post a video of sexy women in bunny ears fighting, it can only mean one thing: Dead or Alive 5 gameplay video!

These "Bunny Angels" -- and the skimpy, impractical fighting gear they're flossing -- can be yours if you pre-order Dead or Alive 5 at Gamestop or Amazon. Check out the DoA 5 pre-order details.

If you're into this sort of thing, here's some of this sort of thing for you to be into:

Along with the news that Sir Paul McCartney is making music for Bungie's upcoming "Destiny" series of games, the company is offering you the chance to "Drape yourself in an enigma from our future release" in the form of the t-shirt you see above. You can purchase it on the Bungie Store, and be the first person in your neighborhood to hype whatever Bungie is trying to hype with these tees.

We have no info on what this future release is, or what the letters "FWC" stand for, but we're working hard on compiling a list of potential phrases that Bungie is teasing. The leading candidate is "Fart Wet Coconuts."

Feel free to add your own interpretation in our comment section below.

The collector's edition of Dead of Alive 5 comes with your standard issue collector's edition items -- hardcover art book, soundtrack CD, aluminum case -- but it also comes with in-game swimsuits. According to the press release, they're "sensual" swimsuits, too. If you preorder the game, you'll get some in-game bathing costumes as well.

Players who preorder Dead or Alive 5 at GameStop or Amazon will get an exclusive set of in-game bunny-style swimsuits for three female characters. GameStop purchasers will get a "DOA Angels" set of white swimsuits for Kasumi, Leifang, and Hitomi, while Amazon players will get a set of three "DOA Devils" black swimsuits for Christie, Tina, and Ayane.

Hey, kid, wanna buy a watch? Wanna buy the best watch ever? I've got just the thing for you. The Pebble is an infinitely customizable e-paper watch that works with your Android or iPhone to change the nature of watches themselves. You can see it above, and if you don't want one yet, check out the video of the the Pebble watch in action.

Like everything cool these days, The Pebble was funded through kickstarter, and over a million bucks have been pledged to the company. Mostly in the form of pre-orders, I imagine. Speaking of, to pre-order your own Pebble watch for $99, all you need to do is visit the kickstarter page and get your Pebble watch pre-order in.

So what do you think? Are you going to be flossing a Pebble soon?

Square Enix Japan has announced the next Final Fantasy 13-2 DLC pack will feature an Assassin's Creed outfit for Noel and a Gilgamesh Coliseum battle. Noel's becoming quite the fashion icon. First there was the Mass Effect 3 DLC, then he became a Prada model, now he's an Assassin? I can't even wait to see what's next for the most well-dressed character in Final Fantasy 13-2. Serah will also be getting a new costume, from "Exposure and Defense" and Koyo Koyo, a character from previous Final Fantasy games, will also be a Coliseum boss.

The DLC will be out for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on April 10 in Japan, but for now Square hasn't let us know when Western audiences will be treated to this DLC. When we have more updates we'll let you know.

For the full image of Noel and Serah in their new outfits check after the break.

Final Fantasy characters will be showcasing Prada's 2012 men's collection. For the record, I never, ever, thought I'd write that last sentence in a million years. Nevertheless, it's true. Square Enix has come together with Prada to show off Prada's new Spring/Summer men's collection as part of the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Final Fantasy series. Hopefully no Moogles were harmed in the making of these clothes!

• NEWS: Mass Effect 3 DLC Costumes Coming To Final Fantasy 13-2

“The Final Fantasy series is known for its creativity and innovation; so working with Prada, a renowned fashion house with such beautiful clothingwas a very exciting opportunity. The images we have been able to create together are vibrant and unique,” said Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy 13-2.

Only characters from Final Fantasy 13-2 will be featured, including Noel, Sazh, Hope, and female lead, Lightning. I'm not sure why they chose to go with Lightning instead of you know, a major guy in the game like Snow, but this announcement is weird enough that I think it's better to just not ask any questions.

Check after the break for pictures of Sazh, Hope, Noel, and Lightning in their new stylish outfits.

Can you imagine Link unsheathing the Master Sword as he's about to go up against Ganon for the final battle to save Zelda, with this music playing in the background? Or if Link was swinging from target to target with his trusty hookshot as he dodged the narrow grip of an enemy's ferocious teeth? It would be so epic!

That's why Robert Mangaoang's Daft Punk/Legend of Zelda above mash-up image is so cool. It features the Hero of Time, himself, wearing Guy-Manuel and Thomas' helmets, complete with heart and Triforce design on each visor. Complete with matching light-up shields! I love it, and if you do too you can purchase the design on a t-shirt or as limited edition print on Etsy.

There’s no denying that Mad Catz has "second run" reputation to many seasoned gamers. The Mad Catz controller was the one your mom mistakenly bought for you for Christmas and the one you always made you friends use when they came over to play N64. Recently, however, the company has been working hard to turn around their  reputation of making second-class controllers. And with this year’s lineup, they’re on the right path.

The first peripherals I saw were Mad Catz’ latest line of fight sticks for both Street Fighter X Tekken and SoulCalibur V. The fight sticks are both designed to the specifications of Capcom and Namco’s button/stick layouts, and even the buttons are placed at just the right angle to resemble the original arcade machines. Designed for comfort and stability, the sticks offer a nice wrist rest and feature sturdy (and for some smaller gamers, a bit too heavy) construction.

The two iconoclasts you see above are Alex Pardee and Skinner, also known as The Butcher Kings, and they are a part of the No Friends artists collective, a group that creates art people actually like. I am posting about them because I think you should go see the show they have coming up at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles between October 6 and 29.

You will like the art, I promise you, even if you are one of those people who is all, "I don't like art."

You will like the art because it is funny and because it is good and because it is about things that you enjoy and care about, like movies, television and celebrities.  Plus, the Butcher Kings features many depictions of penises in their paintings.

At PAX Prime, the best cosplayers were out running amok by the hundreds and Kristin Adams got the chance to chat with a few of her favorites. I love cosplay and think that it's a great way to express your creativity and love for your most favorite characters. Kristin got to met up with the entire League of Legends crew,  an Engineer from Team Fortress 2, a whole Mortal Kombat group, Spider-Man, Cammy from Street Fighter, and more.

Comic-Con 2011 cosplay was fantastic. Thanks to low battery on my phone, I could only snap two pictures before running out of juice, but I'll always cherish the memories. Oh, and thanks to the magic of the Internet and G4, there's this handy video featuring some of the best Comic-Con cosplay! Check it out and let us know which outfits you liked the most, what we missed, or even if we happened to catch you on film!

Personally, I got to give my love to the furries, which you can see in the background once or twice. They're so huggable! Now prove your nerdiness by quizzing yourself over who's who in costume!

In anticipation for MLG Anaheim this weekend, one creative Redditor got some awesome custom StarCraft 2 shoes made by Diversitile. There are three different pairs, one for each race in SC2: Zerg, Protoss, and Terran. No mention on the price of these kicks, but I'd say they're pretty fashionable to say the least.

To check out the Protoss and Terran shoes check after the break.
