Holy hell that voice is annoying.
Huh, they made some pretty good points.
[QUOTE=acon5;28910170]Holy hell that voice is annoying.[/QUOTE] That's what I first thought, but you get used to it. :v: Extra Credits is awesome, they make really good points.
I somehow feel smarter.
I couldnt watch the whole thing that voice was just so fucking annoying
He makes good points but he's forgetting that the videogame industry is male dominated and the average male wants bouncy tits and round asses, not plot and character depth. Sex sells.

Take college business 101, they will tell you flat out that companies do use sex to no end for selling products. like the company exes, they had these shopping bags with their company logo wrapped around the side without spaces, so it spelled out something else at first. When the teacher showed that picture I remember somebody actually said "HAH I see what they did there!". I do have to agree with him all the way on one point; I am sick of all the girls in games being super girly or super butchy. Girls can wear pink and be badasses as well.
I think a prime example of the middle-ground in Jade from Beyond Good and Evil.
thought it was going to be about fat, lonely nerds who play as women on rpgs I'm sick of games that have bitchy gunslinger whores as characters; some normal women like half life 2's rebels, or alyx would be a refreshing change in games. I'm not saying they can't be skilled, but I'm sick of the whole "I'm a woman in a video game so I'm automatically a cocky bad-ass."
