> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by the thread killer \* > \*\* 3.We’ve never gone after a cartoon character in a computer game \*\* It’s worth noting that not one but two video game characters on my [Hot Guys / Hot Chicks List](http://home.earthlink.net/~renatadb/The_list.htm) . Hell, I think the Nameless One from _Planescape: Torment_ is pretty cute, too … _checks boxers_ Yup, still a chick. ---

Sephiroth was but a shallow reflection of the beauty and magnificence that is Setzer of FF6. And Setzer has a better personality, cooler clothes, and a neat scar on the side of his face. \ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by the thread killer \* > **3.We’ve never gone after a cartoon character in a computer game > 9.We don’t have to fart to amuse ourselves** I personally haven’t really thought about whether certain characters in video games are hot, but I know my sister thinks Guile (from _Street Fighter II_) and Tux Mask are totally hot. Ditto on what **Hamadryad** said about point #9: my sister and I think it’s very funny and amusing! 😃 ---

Hmmm… _maybe_. But then comes along some shows like “The Bachelor” or “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?” and a lot of your respect goes right out the window… Now that I think about it, the guys in those situations are almost as bad… ::shrugs:: ---
