Yep, Engineering licenses require 4 years of Canadian experience (American counts too) and $7000. Perhaps I could get a job after 4 years in the states but at that time I'll probably happy there.

Chris Redfield has a good looking face but he's too beefy for me lol.
Hitomi from DoA is the best looking video game character IMO.

I probably won't have Morenatsu in the OT (I'm not familiar with it), but you can certainly add in your thoughts. The whole point of the topic is to get people to add their own opinions.
As for Gone Home, again, that's more games with LGBT story content. This topic is focusing mostly on character design. What types of character gay/lesbian/bi gamers find attractive. What do gamers of other orientations think might be appealing to LGBT gamers. If attractive characters are something you find important. If so, why and when? If not, how come? Etc.
Isn't that a huge spoiler though?
Short stories and Classics from the last 500 years would be great!
If you know a great book about Race and Gender, I'm all up for it too!
Oh, gotcha. So it's kinda your reimagining of what the thread that Winterfang made should have been like. I can support that, yeah.
When will the thread be finished? I want to be sure not to miss it.
Shhhh! 😏Isn't that a huge spoiler though?
I think the biggest twist in the story has been talked about a lot and most people here on GAF are already familiar with what's the game about at it's core. But maybe I'm wrong.
Still, exploring the house for yourself and finding all the detailed history of the family should still be thrilling, even if you know the ending to it, I'd imagine.

Well, the was the final push for me to make the topic. (I had been considering it for a while.)Oh, gotcha. So it's kinda your reimagining of what the thread that Winterfang made should have been like. I can support that, yeah.

I'll post a link to it here for sure, so no worries. (I'm working on it now, but I have to get final mod approval after it's done.) After the success of the Coming Out On Top OT, I'm more confident in making more LGBT related topics on the Gaming side of things.

Likewise. I've actually started listing them out, since I know it'll grow to be quite long. It's mostly European countries (Germany, Ireland (again), England (again), Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, that whole area basically) But I'd also love to visit India, Japan, Iceland, China, and the UAE.I'd like to go to the US someday, I have a tourist visa for 10 years but I haven't used it yet
Actually there are a lot of countries that I'd like to visit

Does The Last of Us' DLC count for LGBT character interest?

Those characters are teens. Not appropriate for a topic about sexualization in gaming.
If it was a just a general topic about LGBT content in gaming, I'd definitely include them.

Thanks, would be appreciated. I don't check Gaming side all that often recently so I'd very likely miss it otherwise without a link in here.

Why do you need mod approval? Just to make sure it's not too controversial?
Yep. Sometimes there are sensitive topics that get the worse from people. Mods tend to avoid them as the end result might be a perpetual catfight. I am myself not the most rational person when discussing topics that touch a deep fiber in me, in the end I tend to avoid them (sometimes I don't, and I get promptly banned, as guys around here know was my favorite pastime last year) but it's better to prevent thread graveyards. However there are threads that are too good to let die without being born.

Mainly to make sure the mods are aware of what's going on and to get their support preemptively. These sorts of discussions are usually much more successful if the GAF staff know the topic's intention at the get go. Plus, the topic of sexuality in gaming has a tendency to get a bit volatile, so I really want to emphasize the positive angle this thread is coming from. (Plus, I really want to be as cooperative as possible, as GAF, and bishoptl specifically, has afforded me some privileges not really granted here, ie. the chance to make an OT for an adult game. I believe it has only been done once before. And I'm getting to do another one soon.)
Also, bishoptl told me once that even though it's not really fair, people are gonna look at topics like these more harshly and so it's important to start off on the right foot. (And I agree with him.) This is still an odd topic for a lot of people to discuss, even for some LGBT gamers. But you don't make strides forward if you don't take the steps, and these are the kind of steps that I think are helpful, but also fun(!!!) at the same time, which I think is of paramount importance. A lot of people seem to forget that playing and talking about games is supposed to be fun. (Crazy right?)

I'm happy to go into Game |OT|s and more rarely recommendation threads, what-if threads or "What's your favorite X?" threads.
The problem for me usually lays with the constant Industry Drama or pissing and moaning about what have you (which is sometimes very justified and reasonable mind, but it's not very fun for me to read either way.). I tire of those sorts of things very quickly, and Twitter typically gives me the necessary earful of what's happening on those fronts already.
I know it's kind of internally inconsistent, but OT's generally have a more close-knit feeling for some reason, which makes it more hospitable to me than general Gaming threads are.

The only reason I look at gaming side is to see if there are any deals or price drops on a PS4, hah. Probably going to be waiting til next black Friday since Sony's got no incentive to lower it right now...
Have you ever been here before? The Seattle area doesn't necessarily have much to offer that other metropolitan places can't, but there are a lot of outdoor thingies to do immediately outside the city areas; I'm only speculating that would be of interest since you're military and health/fitness focused.

I hope you'll add him to the topic.Dante in DmC was probably the first video game character who made me forget I was ogling someone who's not real.
It is nice he got the upgrade from the fresh from prison drug addict look he had in the initial DmC reveal.

Dino has actually grown on me a bit. It's too bad he was part of DmC and not just a new character in the mainline DMC series. He'd probably be a lot more popular and have a chance of showing up again in the future that way.Will do!
Most likely a one-and-done as it is.
Dante in DmC was probably the first video game character who made me forget I was ogling someone who's not real.
I preferred the original Dante, but the final DmC design was still pretty good, and a massive improvement from the original reveal. Though it's a shame that the central ethos of the design was to 'not look gay'.

I totally forgot about that presentation. That was super messed up. Ninja Theory is awful so it's not surprising.
My recently garnered support for Dino is fading away again.

So was DmC a standalone entry then? And next will be an actual DMC "5"?

No official word, but most signs point to yes. Dante in MvC 3 was the original one, and they are now doing a re-release of DMC 4 with new content.
DmC is another casualty of Capcom's failed "be western" experiment. Though outside of how cute Dino is, it's not really a loss IMO. Ninja Theory is truly awful, and as Golnei has reminded me, also vaguely racist and homophobic.

The game had some insanely creative art design, though. It really should have been a non-DMC game, or at least used a different protagonist.
Maybe it'll get the love it deserves with the 60fps PS4/XB1 remaster.

Maybe, stranger things have happened. But Capcom doesn't tend to revisit any of their western develop titles post release, especially if they didn't sell to their (usually crazy) standard.
I'm not a DmC fan, but I can definitely relate in frustration at Capcom for letting good IPs languish and die. They probably have the most quality dormant series of any publisher, and it drives me mad.

I didn't know this.
I thought they were going for ambiguity. There was a line in a trailer where he was described as a sexual deviant.
But wouldn't that basically cover all attractive characters (that may or may not appear nude/semi-nude?). Because for example I found Lee from The Walking Dead really attractive (plus I loved his voice), even though I'm sure no one from Telltales even thought about making him sexy or appealing to the gay crowd.
There are other topics in Community than LGBTQIA and Funny Pics threads? :O

All the more reason to post that. It's not just for beefcake and pretty boys, but for all types of characters. Why do you like him? What about him makes him attractive? Would you like to see more characters like him? Etc.
Beyond the basis of just having a place to discuss this topic, I hope the thread can show a variety of views.
I think it would be great if you could write something like this in the OT too. It should help people feeling more comfortable about posting different types of characters.

I really like this.. Didn't know anything about it at all until I walked into the Jewish museum in NYC and they had a huge exhibit on comic books.. and Spieglman and MAUS were heavily featured. There's a giant print from Maus and it affected me emotionally more so than any art I'd seen that day (which was quite a bit because I'd been to the Met and Guggenheim)
I wish I could find those images again, they were so ridiculous >.>
And yet he is still desired by the gay community
Those "Dante is/is not" images?
Yes, they are ridiculous.
Especially if you look at DmC Dante's early designs that don't look that much different to what Capcom was doing:

What does that even mean? Are Batman and Robin considered gay? Is Dante supposed to be a moody teenager sitting on top of a car?
why is Dante posing between the two BrokeBack Mountain cow-boys?
