What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Penny Arcade tackles racism in gaming. Hee.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I didn't realize they would populate the games. Yesterday my roommate and my friend in Chicago were tossing me hula hoops. It was bizarre. Now I can't decide if I want to make all my friends or delete them all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We also made our dog.

When he hops up and down in the background at the bowling alley...it is to laugh!

You can make pets? ooh! how did I miss this feature?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. No, you can't. We just made a person that looks as much as possible like our dog.

Yeah, it's stupid. But fun!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Is it weird to make miis of people you know?

My friends and I have a long tradition of making each other (as well as each other's memorable table-top RPG characters) in any games with create-a-character features. It used be assorted wrestling games, but lately it's been the Soul Calibur series.

So I'd say no.

Of course, considering I make people I know into characters and have them fight each other, I'm probably not the best judge of such things.

I've gone crazy and have started making my exes and giving them snarky names (e.g. Rain Cloud) but I cannot recall the hair of a guy I dated in high school. I know I ran my fingers through it but I can't remember it at all. Other parts of him are quite clear- I have utterly lost his hair. Oh well, I know it was short and brown.
