Well, for the first time in a long time, I'm staying up late. I just didn't want to go to sleep. I thought I had so many things to do, but it turns out I'm going to end up smoking hookah and watching InuYasha. Oh well, I really don't call that a bad night, if you ask me. I started my second run through of Mass Effect 2 as evil Shepard. I gave him fire red hair and a little d-bag goatee because I thought that's what D-bag Shepard would look like. I find it funny that all of the bad decisions have tons more cursing in them than the good ones, and that some characters that you got the impression as being good through the first play through, you find out respond nicely to criticism and belittling. Hmm... I was on the boards earlier today and noticed a topic of men playing female characters in games. I figured I better pipe up on this one. As a male gamer, I see the reason that we sometimes play female characters is the fact that the male character models look forced and cheesy. Others play because if they are going to invest several hours in an RPG, they would rather stare at a half naked elven ass than stare at some dude's cottage cheese butt stuffed into pants. I personally side with the second option when I play female characters. There are obviously other reasons, like being bored with the male version and wanting to see what the female version is like. Also, when you have characters in fighting games like Ivy and any of the DOA females, how could you pass up seeing that? I sure as hell can't. But anyway, I'm going to load up my hookah with some Nakhla Double Apple and relax the night away. Here's to staying up late!
