Ruined the awesome bounty hunter image with a daddys girl?

Oh, no no no. Not JUST a daddy's girl. It's WAY more fucked up than that.

Here, read this article. It explains everything.

Good for her. It's nice to see that video games can inspire people for the better.

When I came to a really rough spot in my life...I actually cosplayed for the first time, and it was incredible. It really helped me out for whatever reason, and now I look forward to doing it whenever I get the chance. It's an odd sort of release, and one I'm grateful that I can take part in.

Nice to see a thorough and proper analysis, rather than regular scream of sexism.*

The Metroid series could use a reboot, with a new writer and a clearer vision of the overall continuity and Samus' characterization throughout the series.

EDIT: *To elaborate, the argument usually is "she takes orders from a man, therefore the game is sexist". There are much more important issues than that, and I don't think the apparent sexism is deliberate, but rather the consequences of an incompetent writer being the head of the project.

Wow...That's a heartwarming story. Good for her!

If this has helped her, then I say way to go.

just make sure she never plays Other M.

Oh my god, that's the very first thing that popped into my head when I read this article.

Somebody E-Mail her with a warning, because she's probably saving up for a Wii even as we speak.

It says on her DA page "Favourite game: Every single Metroid game EXCEPT Other M " so no fuss to be had.

Oh thank the gods. That was the first thing I thought of too! At least she recognizes Other M is terrible.

Wow thats quite an explanation.

Other M might've just killed the franchise for me...

Yeeees I thought that nobody had mentioned it yet.

 

[hansari]

Yay!! Happy endings

Now if only I could lose weight via rockband or something...

 

[LostTimeLady]

That's a great story.
Samus is an inspirational charecter and if a video game charecter can help a person through things that fantastic.

Good on her. And yay for positive portrayals of video games.
