The seventh All Points Bulletin video podcast is up on the official Web site, and this one focuses on in-game clothing. Chris "Deum" Collins takes a trip to Arkive, a store that sells a wide variety of clothing, to discuss what styles you should look at when outfitting your APB character.

As shown in the fifth podcast on tattoos, APB boasts detailed character customization options. Workers at Arkive said the tools you have at your disposal to create clothing are amazing, and that added symbols realistically follow the contours and folds of the fabric.

Check out the video to get a tour of Arkive and to get a glimpse of the in-game clothing creator in action.

The sixth All Points Bulletin video podcast is now available for your viewing pleasure on the game's official Web site and it consists of a Q&A session with Realtime Worlds' EJ Moreland and Ben Stanton. The podcast covers numerous questions, from subscription fees to beta testing.

As far as subscriptions are concerned, the team has not decided on a business model yet. There are no plans for motorcycles to be in the game until after its release, which is when the team will look at adding other types of transport. There will be clans in the game that can hold 150 players, and each group with be able to have customizable tags and symbols.

APB will only be available for PC for its first release, but the company will then explore the possibility of porting it to consoles. There will be more than 30 different weapons and more than 30 cars for players to utilize at launch, and there will be no lobbies to wait in like other shooting games. You're in the game world at all times.

Currently, APB is in closed friends and family testing. The team is looking to open it up to wider testing in the fall, then launching a full public beta near the end of the year. Oh, and there are emotes. You can view some of them in action in the video.

The fifth All Points Bulletin video podcast is now available, and this one focuses on comparing the in-game tattoo system with real tattoos. The first half of the eight-minute podcast follows host Chris "Deum" Collins as he's kicked out of the Realtime Worlds office, so he decides to head over to a tattoo parlor and show them footage of the APB tattoo system.

One of the employees said he thought it could be used in tattoo shops in the future to help sell and apply tattoos because "it seems to put them on really well. It fits the body perfectly and gives you a rough idea of what it's going to look like." You can watch more of the tattoo discussion in the YouTube video.

The fourth podcast for All Points Bulletin has been released this week, and this one focuses on the symbol editor. Lead Concept Artist Jon Stockwell shows how you can create a symbol from start to finish in only a few minutes.

Stockwell drags shapes and designs onto the canvas and groups them together to create some different symbols.  You can also change effects and colors, as well as add a background. You can watch the video on YouTube or download it from the official site.
