I'm an old fart, and every time ships are mentioned, I think of The Odyssey from Ulysses 31 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_31]: Also, not a ship per se, but still a favourite:

When I think of "atypical" women characters in games, I usually think of Core Design's criminally-underrated Project Eden, more specifically of Amber Torrelson, one of the four playable characters, who is a female police officer saved from death by being put into a bulky cyborg body. She's...

"The Left Hand of God" by Paul Hoffman - a Hunger-Games-esque thing, but boring, with an unlikeable cast and an infuriating number of no-win situations solved by a hitherto-unmentioned "special talent" or some such. I put it down after about a third in. "Halting State" by Charles Stross - now...

I'd add <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Spikers>Beach Spikers, a Sega AM2 beach volleyball game exclusive to the Gamecube.

In case you didn't know, Ridley Scott has expressed interest in returning to Blade Runner at some point, going so far as to specify that, if he does so, the story will likely take place before the events of the first movie. There is a relevant IMDB entry that has little to no info, but I seem to...

If I remember my movie trivia correctly, it was sort of the other way round. Specifically, I believe Neill Blomkamp was Peter Jackson's choice of director for the Halo movie Jackson was going to produce; when that movie was abandoned (because of Microsoft-related issues, if I recall...

For fantasy, I have yet to find something as enjoyable as David Eddings' Belgariad and Elenium series (along with their sequels, Malloreon and Tamuli respectively). The fantasy setting is quite detailed without going to extreme details, the characters are diverse and well-written and the...

One thing - the end titles are shown with 'Epic Hole' still playing over them... and at the end it says "Like the music? Check out more at Drillqueen.com". Either Drill Queen have drastically changed their style, or someone is lazy! (I'm just kidding of course, have a great New Year!)

I'll just leave these here (epilepsy warning on, well, all of them)...

To really appreciate this work of art, you need to watch it with the proper video, like so:

How about... Spider-Woman [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Woman_(Jessica_Drew)] Director: Kurt Wimmer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Wimmer] Cast: Kat Dennings [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat_Dennings] - Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman/Arachne, Hugo Weaving...

I did consider Chloë Grace Moretz [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%AB_Grace_Moretz] for Dagger but she's too round-faced and a bit too young (at the moment at least), in my opinion. Dagger's costume is a bit on the adult side! I hadn't thought about Mayhem, but since you mention her...

I'd go for the following: Cloak & Dagger [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloak_and_Dagger_(comics)] Director: Duncan Jones [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Jones] Cast: Nathan Stewart-Jarret [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Donovan] - Tyrone Johnson/Cloak (link to his Misfits...

Amazing work! The lyric "we buy and we sell women and war" just says it all, really.

I tuned in to The Escapist after a lengthy time of not being able to, and I find this little gem of a series! It's exactly the outside-the-box approach to games I love, and on top of that, it's very professionally done! The question may have been asked before, but here it is anyway: Ms...
