A very apt quote:
Now, the rumor Jake has tried to spread about me since we “met” in Guild Wars is that I’m gender-confused because I like playing female characters; nothing could be further from the truth. To be honest, I’m embarrassingly straight, to the point of wanting to play through games like this as a female character because they are superior eye candy! Call it the Lara Croft Factor; as a straight male, once you’ve played through a game with a “bouncy” female character, it becomes an addiction. While Lara Croft herself is no longer the “sexy beast” she was back in the halcyon days of the original Tomb Raider on PSone, playing through as Lara has left an entire generation of gamers addicted to playing through games as female heroes, because of the “jiggly bits.”
