I’ve done the numbers, and statistically speaking more of you reading this article will have not attended PAX this year than will have. This week’s Comments of the Week is dedicated to you guys. (I play the numbers).
Comments of the Week is a feature where we scour the front page, community blogs and forums picking out comments. The ones that make you think, the ones that make you laugh and the ones that make you cry (but also laugh), and consolidate them into an entertaining package for the viewing pleasure of you, the Destructoid community.

It’s funny you should mention that, because no.

How can you ignore the fact that she iswielding a chainsawandhas a dismembered head strapped to her back? Unique female lead characters in videogames are already hideously rare to begin with, so any step in that direction should be seen as welcome.
If you are simply upset that the cheerleader is not the type of girl you are attracted to, then never mind. Not every female character in a videogame has to make ones loins wriggle. The race card, though, just can’t be played here.
Grasshopper Manufacture can proudly claim to have some of the most diverse protagonists in modern gaming. They certainly don’t deserve flack because they’ve decided to put a blonde Caucasian girl in their game. Especially with no evidence to suggest that this is a typical depiction and with plenty of evidence to suggest that this is not.
I think he likes PCs and dislikes consoles. Still waiting to hear back on what he thinks about Macs.
That’s all you’re getting this week. Come back in 7 days and you can have some more of this.
