    Jimquisition: Vertigo

    I recall the criteria being "traumatic" back story or "survival" - not "no hardship what so ever". As for male protagonists that aren't designed to be attractive - isn't a player created avatar - and non traumatic backstory - and not trying to save a woman: Garret from the Thief...

    Of course - how silly of me. I'll just go back to the kitchen and make sandwiches. /s

    Jimquisition: Vertigo

    I think people are taking Jim's argument too literally. Like the Bechdel Test this I think this is less a Law of Requirement and more of a "something to keep in mind." Hell I'm a woman, feminist nerd sort, and some of my favorite movies are stupid sexist things that couldn't even begin to pass...

    Game of Thrones Cosplay

    ....Hunh the back of my head is in one of these photos. So weird to see that. I'm not sure that Margery is in that last shot at all. I see a lot of Dany and the woman in red I think is Cersei. Not even sure thats Margery in the 6th shot either.

    A question for the female escapists....

    Just dropping in to say "Never really played CoD - not my bag." The military thing - I dunno usually doesn't appeal to me. There's so much machismo and stuff inherent in the genre that I feel like it's Not For Me, I'm not invited and I frankly don't care. They can add a female avatar but it...

    Thief Preview: Will it Steal Our Hearts?

    As long as the AI is better than the AI in Deadly Shadows I'll be happy. The guards in Deadly Shadows are so ready to shrug off everything as their imagination or rats so quickly it's kind of sad. In a recent replay I had a guard spot some relics were missing and then after about 20 paces of...

    Poll: Female babysitter charged for having sex with 14-year old boy.

    Send her to jail. Honestly I don't care how "lucky" you all think the kid is or how hot she is. She broke the law, got a child inebriated (and she herself is 20, if this is in the US she technically shouldn't have any either, but I digress) and had sex with him. Hell, even by the "half...

    Using your nostalgia glasses, what is your favorite game?

    Hrm I'd have to say my favorites from when I younger were Warcraft 2 (I actually didn't like 3) and Baldurs Gate 2. Now? Mass Effect franchise I think, though TF2 has eaten my brain lately. So addicting.

    Don?t Take It Personally, Babe, It Just Ain?t Your Story

    If this was a first time confession, that might be the correct assumption to make. Except for the fact that the sender had stated he ALREADY had told her how he felt about her, four years ago. She did't reciprocate and instead chose to stay in her current (apparently unhappy) relationship at...

    Escape to the Movies: Cowboys and Aliens

    Okay, I'm going to defend this film. I'm not saying it deserves an Oscar but it was a solid summer film and was fun to watch. I am not sure what everyone was expecting from this piece to be so horribly disappointed. Was it formulaic? Somewhat. What is predictable? Yea. It was a WESTERN...

    The Accidental Lesbian

    I am a bit baffled by how the woman interpreted that line as sexual in nature. Echo Bazaar tends to make it fairly clear (if delicately phrased) when sexual events are going down. The whole bit looking for her address could be anything from wanting to talk to her, warn her, rob her, sleep...

    How Popular Are You (Hits On Google)

    First name - 36,500,000 results Middle name - 2,020,000,000 (then again my middle name also doubles as a noun) Last name - 1,840,000,000 results First and Last name - 10,600,000 results - apparently I'm a pychiatrist somewhere and a consultant, and I don't come up at all. First...

    Anonymous Launches Its Very Own Social Network

    Though is this actually the real Anonymous planning this? Or is this someone pretending to be Anonymous in some elaborate trap to track down Anonymous members? I mean really, this feels like some sort of elaborate trap.

    U.S. Senator: We Need to Look Into Anonymous, Pronto

    Yeah sure add another thing to Congress' to do list so they can continue farting around and avoid making any sort of agreement over the budget situation. Seriously, I agree that yes, there probably needs to be something done. I just don't think Congress is the bunch to do it.
