Mass Effect 2 Subject Zero
February 7th, 2010 by Ravven

I admire female warrior archetypes.
Strong female characters in games (books, TV and movies as well, to be honest) are something which has always interested me. Zoe in Firefly is the perfect example of a strong, but still feminine character. Samantha Carter, although undeniably intelligent, lacked something in the “warrior woman” area. Claudia Black’s character in [...]

While I was catching up on blogs that I read in those last burned-out fifteen minutes of a long day, I read a very nice interview with Mynxee of Life in Low Sec: GamePlay and Women in EVE.

Strong Female Heroes
July 31st, 2007 by Ravven

I was just watching the trailer for the latest Resident Evil installment, and I was thinking about Milla Jovovich.  I enjoy her in anything, even the worst piece of crap (which the RE movies are not, actually).  I like her as a strong, gorgeous female role model, who can kick ass and still look beautiful.  [...]
