Baragamer

Hey, it’s Darksand, reporting from the Anime North in Toronto, Ontario! At Anime North, there are a ton of things to see and do; from panels, to competitions, to gaming, and even shopping in the dealers room.

The Bara Yaoi Bear?

I liked Anime North’s gay friendly atmosphere. There were some interesting Yaoi panels and even a panel on the world history of homosexuality. My favorite panel (as it is every year) is the Yaoi Life Drawing Panel. If you ever have trouble drawing anatomy, there’s actual models posing for you, and you’re free to take pictures for reference.

We had many guests attend this year including the talented Japanese voice actor Akira Sasanuma (most known for work in Gundam SEED as Dearka Elsman), and J. Micheal Tatum (Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler).

There’s plenty of places to shop too. The dealer’s room has your anime merchandise while artists at the Artist’s All  sell prints of their amazing work! Of course there’s the Nominoichi which is basically an anime flea for buying used goods. For all those who love to dance there’s the Otakubaloo and J-pop rave, and the Moonlight ball with dancing, classic gaming, and a buffet! This is only the tip of the iceberg of what you can do and see at Anime North!

Hello! BaraGamer here! Captaingerbear has announced the winners of the Townseed Outfit Design Contest! The winners are as follows:

Waistshirt by Star-Ringer with 150 votes

Leopard by GuardianMoose with 148 votes

Athlete by Ultramooz with 147 votes

And now a message from Captaingerbear:

The top 3 are so close together, that the 1st and 3rd placed entries only had a 3 vote difference between them.  As a result of this, I have decided to award the special prize to all three entrants.  In addition to the finalists, there are two honorable mentions that will receive prizes, one chosen by myself, and one chosen by your Master of Baramonies from Baragamer.com.

All finalists will receive a +1 preorder for Townseed (meaning that if you already possess a preorder, or purchase one in the future, you will be bumped up one space on the list of preorder bonuses!) and a custom-made USB gamepad with your winning design on it! There will only be ONE of each design produced, so they will be wholly unique! This is of course on top of the design credit, and inclusion of your design as an outfit in the game.

The honorable mentions will still receive the +1 preorder for Townseed, the credit and inclusion of their design.

For the honorable mentions, I have chosen “Sack Pants by Sohajime” and Captain GerBear has chosen “Blue Cowl by Dinohugs.” Contest winners will be contacted through the method they entered the contest. Enjoy your prizes!

Yufuku Oukan
submitted by shouri

EVE Online almost a year ago added the ability to create your own avatars. The character themselves flow more towards the realistic side compared to the anime-esque Phantasy Star. But as always, we encourage gamers to create baralicious characters to submit on this site, and so today is our first EVE Online character submission.

His name is Yufuku Oukan and he was created by Shouri. If you want to make your own guy, try the EVE Online free trial and send us some screenshots!

But first, check out some video eye candy of this stud on Youtube.

James Vega from Mass Effect 3
submitted by: Grimace

Ah! How can we have a Bara Gaming site without James Vega? Yes we’re pretty late for the Big McLargeHuge party, but he still has to be featured on this site at least once.

According to the design team, the concept for this character was to create a heavy-muscled blue collar military officer with a beard, tattoo, and scars. His ruggedness was to differentiate him from the other clean cut alliance members.

Oh the fanservice!

Unfortunately he’s not one of the datable options in the game, which many think is a missed opportunity.

Looks just as hunky with the armor on!

Once the anime rolls around, hopefully more Japanese artists will be interested in him. It’s pretty scarce on pixiv.

Here’s an index of all the contest entries for the Townseed Outfit Design Contest. Each entry is assigned a number. When you are ready to vote, click the cast a vote link above.

Wow it’s been a long time since a porn post. So the wrestling singlet contest entry had me thinking about that Lycra fetish. I’ve seen guys wear it but never thought about the sex appeal behind it.

It’s quite interesting though, these singlets can turn into SFW porn once those hard-ons start bulging through. So today we take a look at two bearded fellows, Isaac Jones and Bruno Knight, in a circus act equipped with fire breathing acts, and gay sex. More after the jump!

So we should have everyone’s contest entry posted now. The next step is the voting process which we’ll have details about later. Thanks everyone who entered, we weren’t expecting this many entries but I think you guys came up with some interesting concepts. They’ll have to be converted for the game’s sprites so they won’t be exactly the same.

We also have one photo entry posted by Spuug:

Bandana. Versatile: may be worn around head, over face, or around arm. Not suggesting any particular colour or pattern (if any). May be made from a square of any available fabric.

Guardian Moose Contest Entry #3

Guradian Moose’ last minute entries. I have to admit, this one made me think about the inconsistency of Female vs Male armor in videogames. If you think outside of the scope of BaraGamer and its target audience for a bit. A female character could wear something like this (with some modifications of course) and no one would bat an eyelash. At BaraGamer it’s only fair to balance out revealing female outfits with a male equivalent.

But for the age old question of whose butt would you rather stare at while playing an entire game? My eyes seem quite drawn to the shiny derriere.

Guardian Moose Contest Entry #4

Pervyous Contest Entry

Prevyous’ Mesh Onesie outfit. Also check out the blog for some interesting Photoshops guys in underwear.

Lee Shoron Contest Entry

I am so much better on paper than digital. So the colored portion is only for color scheme. While the drawn portion is more detail
wise. I went for a more shipwrecked pirate get up, simple yet revealing in the torn and shredded areas.
