Period pornography

Is there a specific name for pornography set during specific time periods (such as during the Warring States Period, or the Middle Ages, or the Old West)? Also, is this kind of pornography considered a subcategory of costume fetish pornography, or differently owing to the different sets used. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:03, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Our list of pornographic sub-genres doesn't mention it, but what's wrong with "period pornography"? The term seems to be widely used. If it is set during a specific time period then presumably it would simply be Victorian pornography, Edwardian pornography, Stone Age pornography etc.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 14:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I've seen pornography from the 1970s referred to as "vintage pornography" but can't say that I've seen a more umbrella-like term for anything that dates further back. Although, now that I re-read your question, it doesn't seem like you're talking about porn from that actual time period. Just current porn with clothing and such from a particular time period.

...or porn without clothing from a particular time period, perhaps? Jonathunder (talk) 03:22, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Lol, well, that said, the OP seems to be asking about a costume drama or period piece (so many entendres!). Retro would simply refer to old media, wouldn't it? Like (the original) Ultraman? μηδείς (talk) 23:00, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

If you want to get real specific, you could call it The Exotic Time Machine Maybe not hard enough to call porn, but a cinematic masterpiece nonetheless. InedibleHulk (talk) 10:30, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Hi!

I've seen this in China, it appears to be a building high pile of air conditioners. Is it a reference to something in the real world or I've missed some in game story behind it or it isn't explained at all?

After doing some web searching, I can't find much about the air conditioners except this and this. But they don't clear it up any. Being large and bulky, they're rather hard to throw away. As one of the links says, they've stopped working in the Deus Ex universe. That might be all there is to it. That said, the image reminded me of Spindle and of the tower of filing cabinets that are here in Burlington, Vermont. Dismas|^(talk) 20:27, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I beleive the second link is referring the the air conditioning no longer working in that particular run down apartment building, rather than some kind of air conditioning apocalypse. I'm not sure how close the two locations (Alice Garden and the pile of air conditioners) are, but it could well be waste from AG and similar buildings. MChesterMC (talk) 09:54, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
