THE RULE : JUSTIN MILLER

THE RULE: “No pitcher shall have markings on his body that are potentially distracting to the umpire or batter. Markings that are potentially distracting include tattoo(s) or other marking(s) which, in the opinion of the umpire, could interfere with the umpires' ability to make calls, endanger the health or safety of a batter, or otherwise interfere with the play of the game. In addition, no Player may have any visible corporate markings or logos tattooed on his body.” Major League Baseball banned Florida Marlins pitcher Justin Miller from showing his tattoos on the mound, but they can't stop him from talking about it.

THE SABOTEUR
SYSTEMS: XBOX 360, PLAYSTATION 3, PC

Part Sin City, part Casablanca, The Saboteur stands out from the overcrowded collection of WWII games by going black and white. After the Germans invade France, the only color left is the bold red of Nazi banners hanging over Paris. To restore color to the City of Lights, street-smart Irish race car driver turned French Resistance supporter Sean Devlin must drive the occupiers out of the city by sabotaging Nazi bases, derailing trains, blowing up zeppelins, imploding bridges, stealing intelligence, and shooting everyone wearing a swastika. When Devlin successfully liberates a district, color returns to the streets and the cheese-
eating surrender monkeys actually start fighting back. If the German heat gets close, dip into a French brothel for hiding. They’ll be very thankful for your efforts.

THEO KOGAN

“I decided I wanted to be a clown when I was 7 years old,” says Theo Kogan, lead singer of Theo and the Skyscrapers. The whole clown thing didn’t quite work out, but, she says, “I think in a way I sorta became a clown on my own, especially with Lunachicks [Kogan’s first band]. That was taking clown to the best possible place.” Since then, Kogan has had a different aesthetic—if clownish at times—and not merely in the styles she chooses to wear. Rather, her appearance has become an expression of self, and she is a work in progress, musically and artistically. It sounds cliché, but it’s true. “Once I ...

THOMAS “TJ HAL” HALVORSEN: WHO WILL BE THE INKED MASTER?

Halvorsen is an alpha male of the group. He’s got a colorful past of serving as a sniper for five years in the U.S. Army and being professional comic book artist for both Marvel and DC Comics before dipping into tattoo art.
