What about Nephenee? She's fairly attractive and quite humble.
She was one of my favourite female characters in the Tellius games, maybe because her personality sort of reminded me of myself (or maybe just because she was a godly unit).

Nephenee never left much of an impression on me as a character, unfortunately.

As a unit, though...

Revising this


10) Samus Aran. I want to know what's behind the helmet.

9) Tellis from Dragon Age 2. Elflicia Day.

8) Veronica from Fallout New Vegas. Brotherhood of Steel Felicia Day.

7) Jessica Albert Dragon Quest 8. I don't know really. Sure, I could make a joke about "personality" but I really just liked the character.

6) Sophitia from Soul. I don't know. I'd just hate to see what happened to her be a thing and taking a character out of that world would be a pretty good way of going about it.

5) uhhh......

4) Julia from Tekken. Just generally nice person, and apparently a professional wrestler now. lol

3) uhhh.....

2) Adult Tiki best Tiki.

1) Palutena. GGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD

The trouble with most options is, I don't want to die.

Tsugaru from IIDX- she is in my favorite song and well she is a cute.

Mary/Maria from Harvest Moon- Original Waifu Status

Mr. KK from Pop'n music- Pft, who doesn't like a Janitor by day, assassin/spy by night (or is it the other way around?) who has good songs.

Yukiko from Persona 4- Welp she is a cute and ended up being my favorite character, I'd treat her out on a nice dinner or something.

Cassandra from Soul Calibur- First fighter character, I could only really play her and Rapheal in the Demo and well she is hella cute and was the most fun to play.

(I probably missed a few I might update post)

I've never actually thought about this to be honest. Since you asked though, lemme see...

Maybe Flora from the Professor Layton games.

Possibly Zia from Bastion? She has a nice voice.

Uh yeah, as I said it's not something I've put a lot of thought into. Like Kriven I'm just thinking about characters I would want to date, since that seems to be the question, rather than any I think are hot/attractive/etc. That's pretty much it, most other female characters in games that I've played have never really struck me as someone I'd want to be romantically involved with.

I'm not a basement dweller who wants to date fictional characters, but two characters I wouldn't mind if they are real and are my friends are Kairi as she appears in the first Kingdom Hearts game and the LttP incarnation of Zelda.

I think people were taking this one a bit too seriously. The premise was for a single date, like, uh, if you were to win a date with a celebrity in a contest of something. I wasn't asking for anyone to try and develop an actual relationship with anyone, God forbid. I honestly thought people would have a bit of fun with this one. Ah well, I guess it's still a toughie, I'll do an easy one next week.

Anyways, here's some picks for me, although I can't seem to decide on what order to put them in so I'm just going to list them in no particular order:

Hitomi - Dead or Alive Series


In a game full of crazy ninjas and wrestlers and tengus, it'd be easy to ignore Hitomi. She's the half german half japanese daughter of a karate dojo owner. She's more or less entering the Dead or Alive tournament to support her family. While Hitomi's quite easy on the eyes, it's more or less her firey personality that draws me in. This is a girl you'd want to spend time around. She's cheerful, passionate, rarely goes without a smile on her face, and eager to improve herself. She's quite the confident one! Of course, she's got a bit of a crush on her old karate sparing partner, Ein...who was Hayate's Amnesiac Identity. It's complicated.

Other Possible Waifus include Kjelle from Fire Emblem Awakening, Flannery from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, Eirika from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, and even Daisy from the Mario games.

(I'm totally behind in this topic these seem fun, I might do a couple more of the older lists.)

Derp, I don't have time to write up anything and I'm already behind, so I'm just going to slap down a simple one this week:

Week #6: Top Ten Favorite Mario-Universe Games

By "Mario Universe" I mean, including all spin-off series such as Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario. Can't let it be TOO easy to choose from.

Aw, man. For the big Mario fan that I am, this simple topic is gonna be the hardest one for me. Doubly so since the Karts, the Parties, the Golfs, the Tennises, the Strikers, the Yoshi's Islands, the Wario Lands, the WarioWares, and the Luigi's Mansions are all fair game.

I'll post my choices up here later.

I haven't actually played that many Mario universe games. Let's see...

M&L:SS
M&L:BiS
Paper Mario
Luigi's Mansion 2
Mario Kart DS (only Mario Kart game I played, but it's one of the few games that has stayed fun enough for me to beat all the difficulties)
New Super Mario Bros.
Wario Land 3
WarioWare: Touched!

Not quite 10 but oh well. And they're not in any particular order. I think all of them (except for Luigi's Mansion 2) are actually the only one's I've ever finished. I enjoyed all of them though, so they do deserve to be up here and aren't just because they're all I could think of.

(By the way, I have played M&L:PiT but never managed to get past the spaceship minigame near the end of the game. I should try it again. But simply the frustration from that means it doesn't really deserve a spot on the list.)

I also really want to play Super Mario Sunshine sometime. I don't know why but it just seems really cool.

Even though I'm more of a Zelda fan, I still love playing Mario games as much as the next guy.

Here's my list in more or less the order I've played them.

1. Super Mario 64

This is the first Mario game I have ever played. When I first saw a friend of mine in Japan play this many years ago, I was not sure what to make of it. Since I watched a lot of American cartoons when I was small, I thought it was a scene from 2 Stupid Dogs and the castle is some kind of TV Studio. When I finally got my own copy of the game, it's what sent me on a big obsession with Nintendo games.

2. Yoshi Story

This is the game that made me understand what kind of character Yoshi is. Prior to it, I only know him as the guy you meet on the castle's roof, a fun racer to play as in Mario Kart 64, and (from the images I have seen up until this point) Mario's steed. Sure, I've seen Yoshi in action from a game I only took a glimpse at years ago (I'll explain later), but this one allowed me to experience his power firsthand. Being able to lash out that whip-like tongue in any direction, throw eggs that explode, and explore fabricated worlds provided a memorable change of pace from the other games I'm use to. Plus, this game made me laugh in several places, such as ground pounding near an elephant to flip him over.

3. Diddy Kong Racing

At this point in my life, I never knew Diddy was Donkey Kong's little buddy. All I knew him for was this neat kart racer I played once at a friend's house in Massachusetts. Thankfully, I managed to get my own copy of the game shortly after (even if it was in Japanese). Not only did I find the cast more diverse and original than the one in Mario Kart 64, but also exploring the island and challenging the bosses was a lot of fun. Also, I had a thing for opening and shutting door.

Regrettably, I overlooked Banjo and Conker as characters when I first played this game. It wasn't until I played Banjo-Kazooie and gained a lot more respect for Conker that I began to really appreciate those characters. Of course, that's another story.

4. Donkey Kong 64

DK was more or less in the same boat as Yoshi. The only difference is that he was not as appealing as Yoshi right off the bat. When I saw that this game not only stars DK but also Diddy (whom I know from DKR), I wanted this game to play as that monkey. I was delighted that I was able to explore the game in a similar way to Super Mario 64 and the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I never played Banjo-Kazooie at this point, so this was my first taste of the "full power" of Rare. Not only was it more beautiful and detailed than SM64, but also the characters are a lot more memorable (at this point, Bowser couldn't hold much of a candle to a villain as awesome as King K. Rool). Plus, the music provides a better atmosphere than what I am normally used to at that point.

5. Wario Land 3

Much like Yoshi and DK before him, I never thought as much about Wario. In fact, I did not care for him because he looked like a mean version of Mario. As a result, yellow instantly lost the spot as my favorite color. It wasn't until playing this game that I understood what kind of awesome character Wario is! He's strong, assumes many forms, and takes no nonsense as he takes that punishment and returns for more after brushing it off. Heck, Mario needs coins and mushrooms to keep himself health, while Wario just shrugs it all off! What makes this game even more awesome is how Wario constantly improves himself with certain treasures and all the mandatory treasures open new paths in completely different areas. How cool is that? I'd love to see a game that tries the latter gimmick again.

6. Paper Mario

Out of all the Mario games I've ever played, non left as big of an impact on my life as the first Paper Mario game. When I saw the commercial for this game, I was not sure what to make of it. The idea of Mario being made of paper sounded absurd and I probably wasn't going to get it. When I did manage to get it for my tenth birthday, I fell in love with it! Not only was the art style great, but also it fleshed out many of the characters! Plus, it gave me some great insight on what kind of world the Mushroom Kingdom is. Whenever I create stories within the world of Mario, I always draw inspiration from this game when defining Mario's world.

I could say more about Paper Mario and its other games, but I'll be here all day if that were the case.

7. Luigi's Mansion

Getting to play as Luigi? That's really cool for that reason alone. What makes it even more awesome is that I have this fascinating mansion to explore. I know it's basically an illusion, but the house feels like this believable place with a history behind it. Also, the ghost in this one breath a lot more life (for lack of a better word) into this game.

8. Super Mario Sunshine

It's a little odd to see the designs of Mario enemies tampered with, but I honestly enjoyed the setting of this game. The NPCs were a blast to talk to as I get insight on what life is like on this sunny island. Also, let's not forget the mechanics behind using FLUDD, which actually works extremely well and is fun to play with. My only gripe is a lack of the equivalent of an ice level (I know they have annoying mechanics, but they have great atmospheres in my opinion).

9. Super Mario World

I never had the Super Nintendo right off the bat, so I had to settle with the GBA port. What I played, though, was actually a solid Mario adventure. Not only was exploring around Dinosaur Land for the exits a fun task, but also the cape was a joy to use (especially when I finally mastered it). Plus, I always get a kick out of riding that blue Yoshi.

10. Yoshi's Island

Remember that one Yoshi game I mentioned before years ago? Well, I think you could take a good guess at what it is now. When I saw this game in Japan years ago at a friend's house, I was confused to see both Mario and Bowser as babies. I never got a chance to actually play it until the GBA port. What I was presented was gorgeous visuals, fun enemies, and a whole lot of exploration without a time limit telling me otherwise. It sticks out as being one of the best Mairo platformers for me.


Anyway, there's more to this list than what you see here. I would talk about more, but I think ten is enough and some games had to get the cut. I was even going to put Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga on here, but I chose not to for various reasons.
