Title: "girls of gaming"
Post by: Fluke Worm on January 08, 2004, 04:02:39 PM
Just though I'd recommend this special play magazine issue girls of gaming.  I'm sure many others will enjoy it as I have.  I also want to post a link to the official "girls of gaming" forum.  Here you can recommend gals you thought should have been in the mag, this should go without saying but you shouldn't post (on the official GoG thread) unless you've actually looked through the magazine.

Whoo, go Samus!  And Peach, Tetra, and especially the cutest thing ever, ARYLL!

I think I'm going to get an Aryll avatar. . .

Anyone who fantasizes so much about video game characters that they are compelled to buy a magazine to feed their obsessions is just...

Bleh.  It's not like admiring beauty in fictional characters is wrong, but this is somewhat ridiculous.

Taking "Geekism" to a whole new level, eh?...Sure, I admire some female game characters(more in the lines of Saria, etc. and not Lara Croft), but I wouldn't take it that far...Well, at least not in public...

I don't think that thinking about video game characters in such a way is wrong.  It's just like looking at something like hentai.  If that's your thing, then, well, that's your thing.  The fact is that it's just such a strange for such a magazine like that to be released.  Pornos have been around since the dawn of time, but this is just strange to me.

Plus, the human imagination is always much more...diverse than a magazine ever could be.

I agree with Lara Croft being repulsive.  I consider anything that gets bigger yet worse over the years to be stupid.  But Saria...you do realize that she's...twelve or so.

Since when does admiring a girl always have to be sexual?  Stop thinking like that...

That kind of thinking got Jacko in lots of trouble.

I don't think admiring game characters is necessarily wrong and/or strange until it gets to the point where you would prefer to spend time with drawings of a character than, say, a REAL person. Then it gets out of hand.

I did a power point presentation on him in class.  Got many a laugh.

Saria's cool, but for some reason I always really liked Malon (may spell wrong. . . the one at Lon Lon Ranch).  Dunno why, she just seemed really cool, and for a video game character she was really beautiful.  Had me wondering if she was based off of a real person.

No kidding, also the magazine is far from pornographic, and lastly Saria's not a preteen she just looks like it, remember the forest folk(or whatever they're called) are ageless or immortal in other words.

I'm not that kind of a sicko. I was just kidding. Hence the smiley after it. I always liked Malon too. And Princess Zelda. Aryll is really cute too. to girls.

<- Damn right Aryll is cute.  Cutest thing I have EVER seen.  It takes a lot of cuteness to get into my avatar. . .

evil intentions: No offense, but Zelda herself is the most ugly person I have ever seen in a game (It's worst in Windwaker).

WHAT?!  Are you crazy, KDR?  Try looking at her trophies in SSBM again.  She's gorgeous.

Zelda is absolutely adorable in Wind Waker.  I like the Powerpuffish look more than the Lord of the Ring-Elf-look.

Toadette is absolutely adorable too.

Lisa Trevor is ugly.  Yet full of emotion.

Ah, yes...gotta love the Ocarina of Time mangas.  
Title: RE: "girls of gaming"
Post by: KDR_11k on January 11, 2004, 08:05:29 PM
Her face looks pretty bad as it is, but in Windwaker she just looks like those 40-year old "I smoked my whole life and want to be beautiful" women with 20 inches of makeup that look so ugly their facwes could be used to scare children away. I think extreme makeup can make anyone look like an old whore.

Zelda isnt supposed to be hot. Shes supposed to be honourable.

yea, I also though the great fairies looked as though they were wearing a bit too much makeup.
Title: RE:"girls of gaming"
Post by: Jale on January 13, 2004, 09:52:03 AM
The early great faries looked fine, all majestic and stuff. LA was a bit worse. Too cliched. Then there were the tranny faries from OoT and MM. Wierd. Now we have strange Aliens/Hindu godesses. MAKE YER BLEEDIN MIND UP!

Post by: Berny on January 13, 2004, 10:18:14 AM
I like the WW fairies. They were cool. I liked the fat one from ALTTP. She made me laugh. Oh and the faires in Four Swords looked REALLY cool. I really want a GBA Zelda now that I think about it. Darn. But yeah, the OOT and MM faires are my least favorite. They look like some trash Link could pick up on the street corner of any metropolis after midnight. And they laugh like the aforementioned...corner guardians too.

I vote for April Ryan... like anybody else knows who she is. Oh well...

And, uh, is that Bridget from GGX?
Title: RE: "girls of gaming"
Post by: Bill Aurion on January 15, 2004, 11:23:47 AM
GGXX ^_^

Post by: PaLaDiN on January 15, 2004, 11:40:40 AM
Yeah yeah... the series is what I meant. I can't be bothered to keep up with all the different numbering orders fighting games go through...

I blame Capcom.

Anyway, uh, I guess that's cool. I've got a very Johnny attitude about that kind of stuff myself, if you catch my drift.

And I don't think anybody here would know where April Ryan is from without resorting to a search engine.

I like the Queen of Fairies in WW. . . she is very cool, and second cutest character in the game, next to my precious Aryll.
Title: RE: "girls of gaming"
Post by: Bill Aurion on January 15, 2004, 02:32:56 PM
Well, if you're talking WW, I personally like Medli the best...She's very Malon-eque, plus, I like the beak... ^_^
Title: RE:"girls of gaming"
Post by: Jale on January 16, 2004, 08:34:37 AM
There are places for people like Bill....

I never noticed that before but now that I think about it Malon and Medlii do have a lot in common:

Red Hair
Musical Talents
Animals (Medlii looks like one, Malon has lots of em)
Names beginning with M

Holy crap. I never made the associaion! Yowza. I wonder who Makar is supposed to be. Mido?  
Title: RE:"girls of gaming"
Post by: Jale on January 16, 2004, 10:45:18 PM
I don't think Makar is Mido, but he could be one of the other Kokiri from OoT. After all they are invincible and the Deku tree said that the Koroks usd to take human form before they came to live on the great sea.

Oh My !! You cannot be serious! Zelda is totally one of the hottest girls in Zelda. I think I'm going to change my avatar to her some time.
