[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1725845, member: 6182"] Having read the 'article' (you know you're dealing with a twit writer when they note that someone likes the idea of their article IN their article)... 1) Those aren't babes so much as 'we happen to be thin and have sizable breasts' gals. I saw mostly dead eyes and so-so faces. Suggests that, aside from money, the girls are trying to get some ego points for their bodies (and so all that work in the gym and getting just the right wonderbra were worth it). Alas, the audience that would actually be expecting 'babes' to be the main draw to a video game are people who aren't going to be looking at eyes and faces anyways. Heck, most of those cheesy auto magazines have better-faced gals most of the time. Of course, they also use digital touch-up... To me, to qualify for babe, they have to be able to be dressed in a loose-fitting sweater that hides pretty much everything, and just drown you in their eyes and the way they smile. But again, that's me. 2) Unfortunately, the video game community has been going as fast towards porn as possible. There was a video game that was mostly nude scenes that was out of a Heavy Metal Magazine (read: comic book porn mag) some time ago (and had horrid play according to the reviews, so you know what they were actually trying to sell), and not only is Leisure Suit Larry back, but now they have Playboy: The Mansion coming out. That and they have swimsuit issues for a number of video game magazines, etc. 3) This is the one good thing about WotC being owned by Hasbro, much less chance we'll be mucked down in porn-covered books and ads when people can't be bothered to make something good. I really don't want to see Mailee ala Tomb Raider poses. *gags* [/QUOTE]
