Now the title's grabbed your attention, I'd like to share something with you good people.
As a youth, I spent many a day thinking about my preferred female character, at first you may think I'm weird, well, you're right. Then I realised just how common it was. Truth is, everyone has a preference, whether it be Lara Croft, or alternatively Mrs. Pac-man (if the latter turns out to be the case, you desperately need therapy).

I was always rather fond of Knuckles from Sonic, but I'd never commit to anything, besides, I like to think I'm out of her league *looks smug* People usually take a fondness to Lara Croft. Let me just clear up something, despite whatever dreams you may have Lara Croft is NOT real. But say if she were, you think she'd hang out with guys like us? No way! She'd be too busy kicking Angelina Jolie's backside after that overrated movie. Let's face it, the only thing good that movie was Jolie's breasts and Chris Barrie. And I suspect the same sort of thing from 'Resident Evil,' who cares about the threat of zombies when we can watch Milla Jovovich flaunting Desert Eagles? I don't want to drift off the whole computer based females, but I feel 'Scooby Doo' has to be mentioned. Personal opinion…for anyone over the age of 13 this film is gonna blow. The only thing we want to see is Sarah Michelle Gellar wearing a short, pink cocktail waitress outfit, and matching boots going up to the knees. Am I right? Can anyone of you people tell me otherwise (excluding the unemployed)?

These days, sex appeal is the driving force behind movies and video games. Not that its necessarily a bad thing, but ten years from now, there won't be any James Bond's, no Max Payne's, not even Spiderman, no my friends. We're witnessing the dawn of a new era, women will become the dominant species on the planet, men will be reduced to nothing more than housewives, where as the woman will have the freedom to become banker's, politicians and even driving instructors! Something must be done to prevent such a disaster from occurring.

Before I stray too far off the subject. Soon Sega, Nintendo X-box and Playstation will play host to new games, with woman heroes. That means no more bulging muscles and ridiculously over-sized guns leaving us wondering how in hell do they manage to hold those things upright? No sir, things are going to change. I predict Sega will spawn the beginning of what will indefinitely result in unrealistic gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I'm no sexist, I've got a profound respect for the female sex, but when you see a female character knock some guy twice her size out with one feminine blow to the jaw, you just don't get that *WHACK sensation you would with a bloke.

Well, looking back on this, I never really got down to what I'd set out to talk about, more ranting than anything else. What the hey! It was fun, and I hope it gave you guys something to think about, or laugh about. And if you still think I'm a bit weird, well, the feelings mutual :P (j/k).

Happy fraggin'

Ack! No! Male?! Well I ain't gay, good thing I got out of all that when I took to teens, I could have swore there was a female character in sonic. Oh well, who cares, I never really liked it that much, and the new Game Cube game is really messed up, you seen the camera angles on the multiplayer? I couldn't make out anything in that, and what's with that mole digging game?

Knucles is definatly male, thats why there was sexual tension between him and Rouge in SoA2. Also, he doesn't have breasts...

"men will be reduced to nothing more than housewives"

And that made me laugh.

Intelligent man plus dumb woman = fun

Dumb man plus intelligent woman = affair

Man plus Knuckles = one for the courts to decide.
