I tend to gravitate towards two different types: the straightforward brawler and the complete weirdo (the creepier, the better). I tend to like any character who gets up in your face and punches you, especially in a game where most of the characters are armed. And I love it when all I have to do...

I wouldn't exactly call it sexist, but I think it's not a good word to use as an insult. Not in the sense that I find it particularly offensive, but in the sense that, as many people have already pointed out, it's taking a good thing (a vagina) and turning it into a bad thing. Too many...

I don't really agree with your first point, about Lee being guilty of murder. It's true that it doesn't do much to help players identify with him--like you said, most people playing the game probably haven't committed murder--nor does it really affect the plot, but for me, the revelation that he...

I say The Rock is cheating because he's lowering one eyebrow while raising the other, thus causing the expression to appear more exaggerated. The real trick is, can you raise one eyebrow without even budging the other? I can, but only with my left eyebrow. Raising my right eyebrow causes the...

I'd actually given that some thought before I hit "Post", and I decided to use "he" because it was still early on in the process, before any real physical changes had started. Plus he'd never really made it clear which pronoun he preferred at that point. But you're right, I probably should have...

What a cool thread. Thanks for stepping forward with this; a little education can never go wrong! :D This might be kind of an icky line of questioning, and I apologize if I'm overstepping boundaries, and feel free not to answer. XD That said, my questions are aimed mostly at the post-op...

While I hate Fei and Elly as characters, I agree that it was very satisfying to see them actually establish their relationship during the game. It annoys the crap out of me when characters spend the entire story in "will-they-won't-they" mode, especially when it's painfully obvious how they feel...

You know what I have been dying to see? Someone cosplaying Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. I've seen cosplays of almost every other Homunculus, but Gluttony gets no love, ever. (There's probably good reason for that...) But if you could actually pull that off, some random stranger on the...

Mine is the Plague Witch from Magic: The Gathering. No real personal meaning behind it, and the card itself isn't even all that powerful; I just really liked the artwork. I made this avatar aaaaaages ago by scanning in the card and cropping it, and I've just sort of been using it in a bunch of...

The Shadow Hearts games (and their predecessor, Koudelka) are great for bizarre, disturbing monsters. Seriously, whatever the monster designers were on, I want some. One of my favorites is the Mailman. It looks like a German Shepherd with a human arm growing where its face should be. It...

This is funny--I'm American, and I was just talking to an Australian friend last night about bacon, and he pointed out the difference between American and Australian bacon. My mind was kind of blown. Also, "American cheese" is horrible, but the fact that it exists does not mean that...

I have a bunch of VHS Disney movies in their original cases, including The Little Mermaid with the infamous phallic tower. :3 I've probably got some old, rare Magic: The Gathering cards kicking around, if I could be bothered to keep up with what's rare these days and what isn't. A few of...

The Yakuza series is one of my favorites for great sidequests. There are tons of them, and most of them are very imaginative and lots of fun. Yakuza 2 in particular has one of the most memorable sidequests in the series. Three words: Be My Baby. (slightly NSFW) Also, HELL YES re: Ingress...

Ooh ooh, I like this one! :D I've got at least three awesome characters who share my name. They are: From what I've seen, video game or anime characters with my name tend to be either really cute or really creepy, or both. I am okay with this. X)

Yakuza: Dead Souls! :D
