We should just go back to rogue, use letters instead of character models. Although which letters are acceptable, Q is too fat, I too skinny, B too risky, X a bit raunchy, don't want them grouping up. Maybe numbers are better. Saves a lot on development costs and could be educational for kids, win win.

Numbers? Six sounds like what? Add a nine to it and I'm absolutely speechless.

I don't want to have children just to be exposed to this world of ours. Disgusting.

You dont want girls exposed to unhealthy and un-optainable goals like being skinny.

Lets have women in video games represent the "real" women of the world.... this is what the avg american women looks like.

^ sarcasm.

However I wouldnt be surprised if someone actually thought this would be a good idea.

*goes to cry in the corner*

Really?That pose is insulting?Man, some people are really petty.And I also wished that Blizzard sticked more to their guns.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Even if he's the real deal, he can't fix stupid. None can.

In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
