Wow, how did that happen. My first first was blocked by someone i didn't even see on the commenting thing until after I said first. That kind of thing could only happen to me.

Well Charlie, even though I'm still a bit pissed about Sonic in part one, putting in Sonic's awesome running vs. real world makes up for it.......KIND OF!

And the last one was pure genius. Way to go!

And before people get bent out of shape about why this can't be a weekly feature, there just isn't enough stuff in the world that GR can use.

1. Sex symbols are way better in IRL and anyone who says elsewise plays way too many videogames.
2. For cubes they should have put a robo cube from custom robo arena

Superwes, stop acting like you don't find Nariko hotter than Paris Hilton.
Why does it mean I play too many videogames if I think a "well-rendered" (if you know what I mean) videogame chick is hotter than an under-rendered and probably-legally-retarded real chick?
Nevermind, this is probably the same person who insists he sucks at games because he's always out "playing sports" or "talking to females".

@Superwes - I agree that real-life women are far preferable to videogame women. The category, however, is "sex symbol"... something that, in the real world, has been taken over by vapid talentless attention whores like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian or drug-addled former child stars like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the Olsen twins.

under "Drunk" I'm surprised you guys didn't use a pic of Chris Antista. =D

RebornKusabi - 11 months 10 days ago

Exactly! The question here is who would you HONESTLY rather bang (I'm sorry to state this bluntly, but apparently it has to be said for people like Superwes to understand)?

Your telling me that you would rather, hypothetically, have sexual relations with Paris Hilton instead of Nariko? Whatever floats your boat....

Wow, the sex symbols. GamesRadar had a chance to use a picture of Ivy in an article and they didn't. Someone call Ripley's.

I like these articles, but it would get old as a weekly feature.
