Soooooo… how do you guys feel about the “miracle of birth”? Unless one if physically or emotionally forced to watch it go down, most of us would probably give it a pass, I’d wager. Well in the video posted after the jump (for NSFW reasons…. brrrrrr) Zaeous has constructed a dramatic recreation of the birth of his child… using SIMS-style characters. I think it’s intended to be “sweet” and somewhat less startling that the actual version. But it’s also got an “uncanny valley” vibe that might just freak the poop out of your bottom. YOU BE THE JUDGE. (If you dare.)
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
I have so many questions… why are the babies white, but the parents not so much? How is this woman’s vulva situated at the front of her stomach? Is he wearing pants in the water? Does her choker, um, choke her while she’s giving birth? What the deuce is that pulsating dot? Am I missing something that would make the wardrobe choices in the end any less creepy?
My nerves are shot. I need a glass–okay, another glass–of wine.
You and your “people” still aren’t posting about the dead marten in Hoquiam? WHY DO I BOTHER??!? You probably haven’t even sent a “reporter” up there yet. You’re drifting out of touch, Humphrey. God help us all.
