@Caeristhiona: I got that once! An Australian guy. Impressively, he could tell that my accent was "West Coast", and that I wasn't from California.

@RandomFrequentFlierDent: It so is. Plus, it's nice having the extra warning when I don't catch it on my compass and am too busy with something else on the screen to notice it's there.

Confession: I slept with an Irishman once who was much too old for me...but his voice reminded me of Desmond from Lost (and yes, I know Desmond is Scottish and any true Irishman or Scot would strangle me for not acknowledging the diff) and I just instantly had the warm fuzzies and damp panties at the same time.…

@Praxid: Ah, I hadn't noticed, I guess I missed that part! Thanks for pointing it out!

@RaeBeta: I write for [www.TheTanooki.com]

@RandomFrequentFlierDent: Behemoths are just fun. Reavers...lol, the minute my boyfriend sees one on screen, having never played the game, he immediately goes "Oh shit, babe!". He just Knows.

I think the perception comes from "intent". People assume that if a guy fucked a porn star, it's out of a pure selfishness that goes back to his penis. If it were a kindergarten teacher, there'd be a part of them that thought maybe he was really searching for something real, and therefore still had a soul or substance…

@RandomFrequentFlierDent: Oh fuck, I love a good cuddle as much as the next person but I'd probably impale my boyfriend with a Wii Remote if he tried that. In the course of our three year relationship, the only time I've ever had course words with him are the two times he asked me a question during FO3, and the one…

Lose the tail, soften the front tip, and you got yourself a deal.

BTW, ladies, I try to keep an eye out for strong female video game leads in up and coming games that don't pander (as much. sigh. lowered expectations) to the male sexual appetite. If you're interested, a new action-puzzle XBLA game called Hydrophobia is coming out soon, and it features a female lead who, shockers,…

@RandomFrequentFlierDent: So fucking hope so. Would make it far less annoying when I'm still playing Fallout 3 when my boyfriend walks through the door and unwinds from his day.

@trikitixa: Heh, as am amateur archaeology junkie I knew there were probably clues in the art style of the case or something but still, without any presented scenario to support the sentence, I found it hilarious. :D

As a game writer, nothing has been more soul crushing to me as a woman than the amount of misogynistic garbage I have to wade through each day just to do my job. But while I'm hypersensitive to gender issues in general, I guess I hadn't thought I'd been hired (at the site where I'm now an editor) because of my gender.…

Beyond the obvious offensiveness to women the idea of "erotic capital" is, there's also the awful things it says about men. I'm sure there are those of the penis owning persuasion who really resent the idea that they could be charmed into anything with sexual persuasion, instead of making an informed, educated…

The article said these are "probably French". I'm wondering why they said "probably". Do they have some sort of evidence, or did they just figure "Well, you know them Frenchies"?

@BitterMelonyStew: *Right click* *Save*

@clockwise - counter: Not such a bad thing depending on who you ask.

Looks like re-marketed lingerie after a less than successful Valentine's Day. I'm not convinced they didn't just try to pass these off as butt lifters after no one thought they were sexy.

"in Hollywood I am not sure a 13-year-old is really a 13-year-old."

This is why, despite all my fears and reservations at all of 19 years old, I gave birth naturally with both a compassionate doctor and a midwife with my signed and sealed birth plan on hand. Luckily, the midwife happened to be friends with most of my medical team (pure luck!) and they all cooperated on what was best…
