    @RousseMacabre: Only if its condescending and bad that I'm endlessly irritated by "I-Pad" instead of "iPad".

    @WillowWeen: You really hit the nail on the head with the hammer on third party developers and rigid demographics. I think the rise of the indie gamer will help. Keep an eye out for Hydrophobia, an XBLA-only indie game that has a female lead who doesn't seem overtly sexualized.

    I know how to solve this: with the red velvet cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory.

    @keldo: Agreed. I'm surprised Red Velvet went the distance, and I thought I preferred cake...but anyone who can vote against cheesecake must be fooling themselves.

    I once wore thong flip flop sandals with knee high toe socks. Somehow I find this less objectionable than heels and sweatpants.

    @RenoMartini: Why, by your avatar alone I can tell you must be a fashionista. Only the truly chic drink Tanqueray!

    @WillowWeen: All true. I for one would like to see more gender-neutral advertising for non-niche games where sexual content has nothing to do with the subject. For instance, there was no reason to use gender targeted advertising for Dante's Inferno, but that's what EA did.

    @CurtCole: Yes, in fact, if Best Week Ever were still around, I'd be on it.

    @Dodai: It was me, yay! Thanks for fixing! You fixed my case of the Mondays.

    @Holly: Unfortunately I couldn't find the original version I made, which replaced the Justin Long credit with "Your Grandma", an ode to the huge ensemble cast. Also, I loved the tagline and alteration to the candy heart inset.

    @Holly: OMG YOU GUYS IT REALLY WAS ME THIS TIME

    @WillowWeen: No shit. I play Fallout 3 avidly. I never noticed the female characters needing different body mechanics whatsoever. OK, so they needed boobs—could that really deplete your entire budge, REALLY?!?

    @Step aside, Son: And if things get out of hand, it can make a real mess.

    Third time I've posted a JPG somewhere and then wished it was me when it comes time to click. 'Grats to whoever did get it!

    @WillowWeen: It was tough. Just the other day, a commenter was "starred" for saying something in support of not realistically portraying women in war games, because of the argument that rendering female body parts and female body mechanics would deplete a particular game developer's monetary resources to the point

    @CrimsonVoid: Yeah you may want to re-examine that. Would you tolerate it if he'd said "Yeah I don't mind anyone being anti-racism, so long as they don't think black people and white people are the same." We as people have differences, yes, but we all deserve equality. I'm wary of any man who will insist on pointing

    @CrimsonVoid: You're very lucky to have not met people like that. I don't think the people who do stuff like that would be horrible no matter what; I think we encourage this crappy behavior by making the female figure, and anyone who owns one, public domain for the gratification of men as if we were objects. Treating

    @Triana Orpheus: Perfectly worded. It's harder to like a particular performer as a person once you know they have moronic taste in movies, just had a messy bowel movement, or is completely devoted to Scientology.
