Boy or Girl?

Lately, I've been asked, "Char, why is it that you're a girl, but choose to play a dude character in games such as MGS?" Well, thank you for asking such a good question, which I'm only too happy to answer.

 

There are many varied reasons why I -- a girl -- elect to play a dude character in games such as MGS. Here are just a few of them:

 

1.) A girl character draws far too much attention. "Oooo, I shot a girl," or worse "Arrrgh, I got shot by a girl!." Anonymity is best. Blend in with the crowd, shoot someone, disappear.

2.) I enjoy watching his butt as he walks or runs ahead.
 
3.) He has more upper body strength to handle the heavy weapons o' death.
 
4.) Loss of team concentration, especially in the locker room.
 
5.) Most of all, I enjoy manipulating the character much more this way. I command, he obeys. Turn right, turn left. Jump. Jump again. Jump higher. You get the idea.
 
6.) In case he gets shot, he's more expendable and easily replaced/respawned. Accidental suicides are far less frustrating this way.
 
7.) William once told me that I was "one of the guys" (Thanks again, William!), so it's less confusing this way.
 
8.) The dudes are usually more interesting and tougher in video gamedom. Who would you rather go into battle with: Mario or Peach? Link or Zelda? Leon or Ashley? I too have been corrupted by societal standards.
 
9.) Bio breaks on the field of battle are easier.
 
10.) Finally, are you sure, really sure, that I'm not a guy??!!?
        (Just kidding. Scared you though, didn't it?)
 
There are more reasons, some which I'm sure I don't even know myself. Ah, the mystery of video gaming! Video gaming, like life itself, is both confusing and wonderful.
 
 
Now, if you'll excuse me, . . .off to fix my makeup . . .

ok, ok, save your teenie bopper fantasies for the girly forum. btw, when does RE5 come out? I would never play that by myself (because those games scare me :) ), but with coop, that could be a fun game.

OK, OK, if I posted them in the girly forum you would just go there to read them. Then you might get cooties!!!! if you hang out there to long. This way you're safe. RE5 comes out in March 13, 2009!!!!! Oh the waiting....they don't scare me, so you can hide behind me and I'll protect you....LMKO!
