sometimes i think to myself, what would life be like if i actually was the central figure in all the games i play? no, really! how wicked would it be to go around your business knowing you could just scale a wall or jump to three times your height in real life? gosh. i'd love to be an assassin and all, but i'm kind of a girl, so i'd have to be a girl character. how many female characters are there out there anyway?
..well i was going more for the types that don't hugely objectify women, and for that matter ones that aren't completely artificial.oh well. i guess my dream will never be realised. i guess i could always just put on a body suit and nobody would be any the wiser to my conspicuous gender identity issues. D: i could be eleanor lamb, big sister style!
she's cool, right?ahh. looks like i'm stuck being crappy old yvette for some time yet. at least until they discover the adam slug is real, and we all start splicing. aw, i don't want to escape! i'm content here. on second thoughts..i hope the gaming universe never meets this one. :| humanity is doomed.
well, today's been crappy. the work christmas party was cancelled due to predicted storms which never happened; it didn't even rain, i woke up feeling completely hungover from lack of water and sleep the day before (i'm assuming that's what a hangover feels like) and my airconditioning remote was taken away so we're back to living in this squalor of heat and filth. i hate townsville so much, it's so disgustingly hot. my family is a real case too. no airconditioning in november? rocks in the head. anyway, i got my copy of assassin's creed: brotherhood today (on a more positive note!) and it's fun so far, i'm up to dna sequence 3. i'd forgotten how friggen' cute ezio is. *swoon*
i also got a t-shirt with my pre-order (at least harvey norman managed to get my name right, but they'd put aside a PS3 copy for me, wtf!), which was cool. though i'd advise you to buy it from big w if you want the best price. big w is $74.97, harvey is $84.99. i just wanted the shirt, lol. so yeah, fixed the birds outside.. did nothing with my day essentially.
might have something more interesting to inform you of come tomorrow, or the next day. ciao for now.
p.s. does somebody want to renew my copy of flash cs5? >:

ReplyDeleteLara Croft is the only female lead in gaming I can think of. This is extremely sad and sexist. MORE KICKASS LADIES!
lara croft was the first thing that came to mind too. silly women and their lack of awesome!
ReplyDeleteAs Hannah said on facebook, Samus Aran from Metroid. Also, Lighting form Final Fantasy 13 is pretty badass.
ReplyDeletewomen aren't in movies because they lack a very important quality:
ReplyDeletebeing good at anything.
i've never played any of the final fantasy games D:
ReplyDeletedylan, remove the shoes from your feet, for the place on which you walk is holy ground. if you ever want your prospects of getting a sandwich from me to improve, i daresay you want to avoid insulting my entire genome.
way to take life serious, sanjiv
ReplyDeleteIf you want a game that takes women seriously without objectifying them, there's always DoA Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
ReplyDeleteNo, wait... Never mind.
hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteno.
There are a bunch of strong girl characters from vidya games, like Mirrors Edge, she's badass, Alyx Vance from Half Life 2, The main character from Portal. You love portal, did you forget that it was a girl? Tekken has a bunch of girls and they all kick ass. One of the girls even had their own spin-off. There's a bunch of girl video game characters, you just have to look for them.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, this is Jay, I made a rhyme, oh look at the time.
chell was very much an unseen character, jay. the fact she was female was made obvious only when you tried to view her. though you are right i did overlook how many there really were :P still, it's massively skewed, not a lot of options.
ReplyDeletei really don't want this post to make me look like a feminist. because i'm NOT a feminist.
That's an interesting thing to say. Why are you not a feminist? Surely all women would be pro-equal-rights-for-women?
ReplyDeletei'm pro equal rights, not pro women's rights.
