     My favourite fighter summons a whirling sword that she can teleport to, while her ultimate makes her leap into the air and do three huge, anime-sized purple slashes. She's also got bare legs up to her crotch and a figure that breasts boobily across the battlefield.

     In Pike's 1992 horror novel for adults, The Season of Passage, she is Dr. Lauren Wagner, a physician-astronaut who we meet breasting boobily on a treadmill in the novel's early pages to the delight of Terry Hayes, a reporter sent to interview her. What exactly she is a doctor of is never entirely clear.

     There's a unique advantage to not only making your protagonists women but hiring women to write them, as the novel was written by Bell and the screenplay was adapted by Jessica Sharzer.

     Most developers will be happy to create crass, misleading advertising, and it should be regulated. Advertisements broadcasted on television are, so why not those we see in games? I don't have high hopes for this happening any time soon, but it seems to be becoming more and more necessary. I have seen women breasting boobily away from zombies too many times already.
