I think that some of you may want to read the story about the photo directly from Sophia Loren. So I'm not entirely sure what the point of posting the picture was, and what it was trying to prove, but her own story is that she was afraid that Jane Mansfield was going to pop out of her dress. She wasn't wrong for fearing that based on pictures of that night.

That reminds me of a video that went around produced by a guy trying to show women gawking at men and their pants especially if they can see large it is. What the makers failed to realize is that it was so poorly and ridiculously setup that many women posted they would look and stare at it too because it was obviously fake leading them to find it absurd, funny, or just weird instead of being turned on.

Men and women like to look at things that stimulate them. What many forget is that there are other "stimulation" besides "I'm excited" that get people to stop what they are doing and look.

What is this "darkness" you ask about? I'm not sure this question makes any more sense than asking "Do you like Doctor Tracksuit's clothing?"

Like other people have said, streaming from a PC to an Xbox would be way better but the big announcement that I'm seeing here is the free upgrade to Windows 10 for not only 8.1 users but also 7.

I'm glad someone mentioned this because just like with the XBox One announcement, Microsoft again mixes their message leaving controversy and people confused. There are a number of people who watched the announcement thought that Windows 10 is "free with subscription" because of their mixing up costs and their subscription schemes. They really do a poor job explaining their model due to presentations goofs like this.

It would be more useful to do the reverse: Stream a game running from Windows 10 to XBox One.

This makes more sense to me. I can't think of a situation where I would ever do the reverse....I probably would never do this anyway in the first place. Is this the new second screen experience the industry tried to claim people cared about?

I found it useful to use the "Steam Streaming" mechanism instead of Twitch or trying to use something like a laptop + hdmi to run Dota 2 on my more powerful machine to display on my Linux PVR under my big living room TV during The International. I'm not entirely sure I'd play a game that way but for a "sit back and relax" experience that was the way to go.

Again and again, it isn't a question if the female characters are too cute or sexy but that all too often in a game all of the characters are too cute and too sexy. The real issue is really about variety where we don't need ugly but a better range including "just plain". Fixating on the big muscles and big chests in a game like Gears of War misses the point that it has the same problem too.

And then there is this:

http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-13/05-the-death-of-snkrs/falseequivalence/

The problem with that comic is that it's just that person's (and maybe some other people's) opinion on what they find attractive.

There are women who find a muscular superhero attractive. There are women who would probably go for a bishounen-looking type of superhero. The same holds true for what men find attractive in women. What artists tend to go for is the idealized look that they find attractive or cool looking. It just so happens that in many of those cases, those designs appeal to most of their audience.

I think superheroes are a bad example though. While there are cerebral types of superheroes, the majority of them are physical, which lends itself to muscular and fit looking characters. My power fantasy isn't a muscular Batman, it would be a geekier Batman.

Well that is the point of irony isn't it? :) Blanket statements about one gender wanting something is still a blanket statement. I just find it a funny comic about the fallacy of that style of argument when people scream "women want men like that too!!"

The issue with Remember Me is that the combat was "meh". Especially the boss fights which were grinding fights. It wasn't a fun game to play or replay where blaming it on the lead character design is loopy.

@humanity: Sunset Overdrive is real good if you're into that kinda game.

And there's always good ol' Halo.

You mean that that high profile game that released with broken online and flakey single player glitches? Gamers always look forward to that. :)

I feel that if Smite has an issue, it isn't that they are sexy but they are "cliche sexy". Yet another MOBA stacked with top heavy girls.

Dota 2 definitely has a lot of design so that all men/women/other heroes are different. Hell one of the females in Dota 2 is a god damn giant spider. Not a personification of a spider. Not a sexy humanoid dressed up like in a theme of a spider. She is giant, multi-eyed, eight legged spider that talks about drinking the liquified internals of anyone she catches.
