    Simply put, he's got those celebs on such a short lease, they'll do anything to be in his good graces. I often think Lady Gaga is just humoring him with her friendship, just to keep him off her back (that, and she pretty much owes him her career).

    @BiggieShorty: lol, nice one. Enjoy the new patch, btw.

    @Norton: Ah, that's right, I forgot. All your money and attention must be spent on the little ones or they've obviously been deprived and neglected. The twins had to go without dinner last night 'cause Kate wanted new extensions.

    @FancifulUnicorn: Just because something isn't directly sexist, and saying so, doesn't mean it isn't. In fact, most sexist things are only recognized as such in context, many sexist things are spoken directly. GameCrush may not be the source of the problem, but they are still contributing to it.

    Why is it such a sin if Kate Gosselin wants to look pretty?

    @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!

    @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"?
