I liked it way before that Dirty Mary Crazy Larry or the one in Bullitt. I'm more of a fan of a 69 than any of the other models except for maybe a 68. Newer ones don't look as nice too me. I'm more of a Charger fan than any other car except for maybe a 72 Mustang grande or a Dodge Super Bee.

Ya, agreeeee.... and i was surprised too :x Ah well, at least he'll be back soon enough!

It would be super awesome to see a woman F1 race winner Hobbes is too cute. And yet quite terrifying :x

Alright, I finished the first game in the Deponia triology and liked it a lot!
I was a bit weary going into it because the main criticism I've heard about the games are that they're extremely misogynistic. I think those claims are a bit unfair, especially when considering all three games in the trilogy.
Rufus, the main character in Deponia, is a total douchebag. You're supposed to hate him to some extent, and one of the main jokes of the game seems to be that Rufus is the only one who doesn't know he's a total tool. The game is very cartoon-y, so stuff like this gets exaggerated tenfold.
I think people we're confusing Rufus's extreme misogyny for the game being mysogynistic. The game isn't exactly innocent, but I think it works because of how outlandishly cartoonish everything is.
The other protagonist is a girl named Goal. Rufus accidentally breaks her brain computer chip thing, so she's unconscious for 90% of the game and Rufus has to lug her around. I could see why people would get mad at the developers for doing this, but the game has an excuse. In the dev commentary, the dev said that all three games were supposed to be one game, but it ended up being way too long and they had to cut it into three. So in that regard, Goal is only unconscious for a little while.
Although it does seem a bit strange that Goal seems to be the only character in the game with a brain disk chip thing for her memories (though it is implied that other characters from her hometown have the same thing; I've only played the first game so maybe you meet some later); it seems to have been that just for the plot, as well as a bit of humor throughout the game. Deponia is really funny!
Goal is definitely not a generic damsal-in-distress character when she wakes up, which I was relived to see! I'm actually surprised at how round of characters both she and Rufus are, with the games being so ridiculously cartoonish. The writing is really good; especially in the way the world is presented to you gradually. The art is also gorgeous!
Lovely! \o/ The animations are gorgeous as well. The entire experience is fun and charming.
Everyone go play Deponia!

Doesn't matter to me. I'd feel slightly more comfortable bringing up any issues I had with co-workers if my boss was female, but it wouldn't be enough to actually make a difference in what I'd do.

Don't care so long as they're a good boss. I'd rather be my own boss though so I guess female.
I've had asshole bosses of both sexes. Friendliest boss I ever had was male though, he was older and gave dad vibe to everyone who worked at the place. He was a good guy.

i have this waiting to play \o/ .... i just have to finish Gabriel Knight first....
@weemadarthur, i prefer female bosses so far because the male bosses i've had were unfortunately douchebaggies.
Edit: my best boss was a dude though. he was a great mentor and a fair boss. coincidentally, he was also my first boss ever. it sort of went down hill after him. maybe he set the standards too high ...somehow. haha ^^;;;
I don't really mind either way if the plot and characters in general hold up, though it would be nice to see more female bosses! The only super cool ones I can think of are Ultimecia from FFVIII, Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear, and Bloody Marie from Skullgirls.
Edit: ROFL, I thought you meant video game bosses! For RL bosses, I've only ever had girls, but they've ranged from super intimidating and mean to nice and chill.

HAHAHAHA MONO

You put VIII therefore we'll ignore you posted videogame bosses.
I'm fine with both as long as they're nice.

I've had both, makes zero difference to me.
Hahahaha you have no idea how much that cracked me up. Only on NeoGAF!

Favourite female bosses, hmm... Well, see my avatar.
Sniper Wolf is cool. I also like Mishaela (Shining Force), Miang (Xenogears -- that fight was a pain though), Myria (BoFIII -- one of the coolest end bosses in a jRPG ever), Priscilla (Dark Souls),
(Dark Souls II), and Executioner Miralda in Demon's Souls (more like a mini-boss though).

I guess I'll post some of my favorite female bosses in video games.
Sniper Wolf (Metal Gear Solid)
(Metal Gear Solid 3) She's so awesome that you can play as her in a Monster Hunter game.
Maleficent (Kingdom Hearts)
Priscilla (Dark Souls)
Rathian (Monster Hunter series)

All-female (well, as much as you can) runs of Fire Emblem 10 are my favourite! There is a weird lack of female enemies in a lot of FE games, though...
What's the 52 games challenge? :O
Persona 3 is long as hell! I'm slowly going through P3P, but I think I'm going to restart. I like it a lot better than SMT!

I've only got 6 games down BUT It's because I haven't actually been playing a lot until recently. Now I'm going to get through a few games pretty fast.
P3P is what I'm playing! It's a lot of fun so far. I started a week or so ago and I'm trying to get through it fast. I'm about 28 hours in.

I wanted to make a thread with this question but it is probably not thread worthy.
Question is:
Do people (mainly men) still judge you based on your hair colour?
I ask this because I have had so many hurtful comments in the past because of my hair colour.
My natural hair colour is a mousey blonde that I just find real bland on me, my mom tricked me into dyeing it brown and brown just made me feel ...idk, not like an individual.
I dyed it blonde in late highschool and loved it so much, it made me feel better about myself and it made me happier which people responded better to.
My mom and grandparents hate it (not that I care) and my first bf wanted me to dye it brown because he liked brunettes better
I constantly got assumptions that I am stupid, or a 'slut' solely because of my hair, when I added the red now it is only compliments thank god, but I know other girls experience this too.
So even dating is tough because apparently because of light hair it is me saying "I want a one night stand".
What have you all experienced?

Why the hell did you date a blonde in the first place?

I thought about doing the challenge but it takes me so long to finish a game. And I'm trying to do the 50 books, 50 movies thing too.
I don't know why people's shitty-ness continues to astound me. :/ The only shit I've gotten for my hair color is from my mum, who was born with blonde hair and has always been super disappointed that I'm brunette. But it's also a racial thing, because we're Hispanic and it's about looking more white. Otherwise, no one has ever said anything (to my face anyways) about my hair color.

gugi, i think you should go blonde if you like it :> blonde is a very attractive hair colour. i wish i could go blonde, but since I have very black asian hair, i will have to bleach it before i could even dye it in any light colours, and i don't wanna ruin my hair so ... :<
i has wigs though i only have a brown one so far, but i want to try the ones with funky colours like blue or silver
re: female game bosses, my favourite has to be Shandra Manaya. She's the Queen at Tera Online's hardest dungeon. She was so awesome fun and terrifying <3 Too bad they nerfed her to oblivion. I sad.
but my favourite game bosses have been dudes. Cuz there's so many of them x___x;;; The one that's on the top of my head is Vergil from DMC.

Yeah, that car is pretty awesome. However, hear me out. I do feel there are a lot of sexy cars out there...and this be one of them. Toyota MR2 (mk2) with T-tops.
As far as work goes:
That really, truly depends on how well you do your job, the type of environment, and the kind of person your boss is. Results will vary on my part.
As far as vidya games:
Personally, there needs to be more female protagonists. I think it's pretty cool when it's a boss that's been mutated or some sort of demon or something. That's always fun. No.. I'm not weird.
lol. jk. (;

Nice. I wish I thought of that.
Oh damn if you're already doing a challenge similar then I wouldn't recommend it. Still, it's been a great push for me to finish a bunch of games in my backlog. Maybe you can use it to beat some games you planned to.
Yasss you went back to your original avatar. I always laugh when I see it. I miss the tag for it. Why was it removed?

I think it was because of image hosting since before they took it off I had a bunch of error messages under my User ID.
Sweet, I totally want to do that next year. Too much backlog!
Awesome! Wow, you really are plowing through it! I need to designate a week or so to marathon P3 so I'll actually finish it.
I always thought people looked more for personality than hair, my last thought would be judgment on hair, but apparently not.
Mom's can be such douches about looks.

I already have a light blonde, did a number on my hair since I went from jet black to blonde, it takes a few dyes to get to a more natural look.
Wigs are so fun.
Gugi:
I was born blonde. I was blonde through my school years. Nobody ever thought I was a dumb blonde, because the nerd stereotype overrode it severely in my case. Something about using big words *sigh*.
Then I dyed my hair red for a decade. Redheads have more fun than anyone. But this may have been a result of my age and not my hair color. Still, I got some attention from it.
Now I quit dyeing my hair and I'm a mousy brunette. Lots of ash color, very grayish looking. Boring as all get getout, but I can't change it cause I can't tolerate the processing.
In all this, I was treated similarly. So, you may want to look into the impression you give rather than the color of your hair
Well here is what I mean, I work retail so I interact with people all day, and people would immediately treat me like a dumbass before I could even get past hello, and then as soon as they hear me talk (deep voice, big words) they change their tune and treat me like a normal person. I have had all sorts of things like "Oh you are smarter than you look" or "I would have never thought you were so smart" or even "Oh wow you sound so smart" like they are SHOCKED to find out that I am not an idiot.
I treat everyone with respect and kindness so I don't think my impression when conversing has much to do with it, maybe just my appearance.
Well, guys that claimed to love me had problems with it... Always telling me they like girls with dark hair.

Aaaah, Dodge Vipers <3 Very nice. For myself, I have a soft spot for the Pontiac GTO ... but the true porn of cars for me are cars that looks like from the 1940s era. They are so adorbs <333 like the ones usuallly seen in olden-time mafia flicks.... :3 I have an old lady's taste :x
I have black hair, but I sometimes dye it light or dark brown. I haven't personally experienced this, but there are some people that think Asians are trying to look more "white" when they dye their hair lighter colors (brown, blonde). lol :/
I am 5'3" but my body is not petite, I think because I have big boobs I don't get taken seriously (apparently that is also a thing). My mom tried to raise me to be a "lady" but I look people in the eye and don't take shit from anyone, which is why all these people's perceptions change when I start talking, suddenly I am personable and funny! ugh.
Lol I would date nice guys if they were a little easier to find, got to sift through the "nice guys" *shudder*Asshole neggers. DON'T FALL FOR THOSE SCUMMY LOSERS. DATE A NICE GUY THAT RESPECTS WOMEN.
But, it's also possible they are trying to tell you that they actually like you for who you are. My exes would say things like, "I like girls with small boobs"
Most of them didn't get that I wanted breast implants for ME, not because it was about what they liked. I find that after explaining why it's disrespectful to ignore what I want and try to tell me what THEY want on my body, they usually got it.
...yeah sometimes I retreat here and lick my wounds.
Then I watch this- http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/z2b627/the-fault-in-our-schools
They didn't want me to be who I was they just wanted me to look like "girlfriend material" which means brunette...I had no idea.
Lucky that you never experienced anything like that because that is some bullshit right there.

I've had my hair most colours, except red and black, and I haven't been treated any differently because of it. Obviously having unnatural purple or blue for example will be unusual, but I've never been judged as being less intelligent or been told I should change it to something else.
(Hi everyone!)
I'd be interested to know what you think once you've played the second and third games (I just beat the Complete Journey a couple of days ago).

People talking about female bosses and nobody mentions "Jubaleis" from Bayonetta? Bitch was so OP that every other boss would hype the shit out of her after beating them, and with good reason!
To me that's not that sexy too rounded I like something big and blocky like an Oldsmobile 442:Yeah, that car is pretty awesome. However, hear me out. I do feel there are a lot of sexy cars out there...and this be one of them. Toyota MR2 (mk2) with T-tops.
As for being judged by anyone for my hair it's mostly my skin that will be judged. Especially if it's all cracked and open.

I'm a dirty blonde but I haven't ever gotten judged for it, no. Occasionally I get the dumb blonde joke but I know it's in good spirits so it doesn't upset me much. I haven't ever dyed it either. Boyfriends have never asked me to do anything with it.
I get constantly judged on a lot of things about my appearance.
But I think it comes with culture too, I'm originally from Eastern Europe where that shit is totally acceptable and normal. Moved to the UK where it's a WHOLE NEWW WORRLLDD, as disney would say. Here nobody seems to assume they know shit about you judging on appearance, which is great.
I do get the occasional exceptions though. Stuff like 'oh you look good and have make-up, you must be so generic and boring/dumb'. I just happen to love make up and take care of how I look, does that mean I have to be stupid and shallow?
As for hair colour, it's quite funny, because it's different everywhere I go. In eastern europe they think i'm super weird because I'm a redhead. Almost like there must be something wrong with me. Plenty of blonde jokes there too. Like, far too many. In the UK it's either hot or I have no soul or both.

Do any of you other girls have boobs that grow, well, not forward but more to the side?
My boobs are pretty small, but I think one of the reasons they look small is because they grow more to the side than they do forward. It could also be because I'm underweight and I just need to gain weight (which is extremely difficult for me).
