your quote of the day.

[phosfate]

"If you're going to condescend to women gamers, Paramount, at least do it all the way. Why not Steel Magnolias: Shelby's Return, in which players battle a zombie Shelby by throwing tears at her lumbering corpse (Tears are earned by gossiping at the beauty shop). Or Not Without My Daughter: Escape From Alfred Molina, in which players must absorb a certain amount of Alfred Molina's yelling, before gaining the speed required to run out of Iran."

-- Amelie Gillette on AVClub.com, re: Paramount's upcoming attempt at attracting the wimmins with games based on Pretty in Pink, Clueless, and Mean Girls.


Now I'm imagining a Bridget Jones game where you have to keep Bridget in smokes and sufficiently liquored up so she has the courage to...uh...I forget what the hell she actually did. Okay, if you don't keep her in substances, she can't write in her diary. The diary has a timelock, and when neglected, it explodes and London becomes a smoking crater. It's like 24, but with less torture, and more projectile vomiting.

I would TOTALLY play that Bridget Jones game. It would be a reverse of Leisure Suit Larry!

You know, the Sex and the City First Person Shooter has a lot of potential.

At the very least, there should be a Doom hack for it.

Courage to shag improbably handsome men whilst wearing big knickers. I never saw it, but I think that was the gist.

I read the book, but all I took away from it was that Bridget probably smells a bit.

Well, I was going to bring up the fight scene from the first one but those tossers removed it for copyright. Because six of the best minutes from a decade-old movie couldn't possibly - you know - entice people into watching it.

So here's the fight scene from the second. Same concept.
