      Cursing is probably the LEAST offensive thing I did :x boob talk is tame in comparison.

      SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

      Guys like to sleep with everything in sight... Especially if they are hot... Should not be so insecurity.

      Women insecurity is amazing...

      Can't you just yell down the hall or across the room that you love him instead of send him a tell???

      We probably should have mentioned we don't have the luxury of being close together. Long distance relationship is hard. :(

      @Calaelen Yes, that part was by far the funniest. He had to stop the cast and backpedal any misunderstandings =p

      Edit:
      Now I'm sad. I hold no hope for me unless the new benchmark gives me a better score than this person:

      After listening to the cast I now have decieded to play a male. The thought of mis-leading another male/female player never occured to me, and that's the last thing I would want happen. I know how I would feel in that situation.. trust once lost is hard to regain.

      Great cast btw, keep up the great work!

      As Mai said; as long as there is open communicate on WHO you are, then I don't think we mind so much. But you're right, trust once lost IS hard to regain. I'm a fool though... sometimes I've found myself trying to trust over and over again and end up getting badly burned each time. :\

      I enjoyed the new podcast, it was interesting to hear how people viewed their avatars. I usually will try to make the avatar personal to me either by name or just some looks, I will be Elezen again this time because I was on FFXI. I tried Lalafell today on the server that was asked to be stress tested, it just didnt feel right and he made me feel tired running around so quickly ^^

      Hmm interesting discussion on gender bendering. I can kinda see it from both sides. As I have been tricked before by a male in a female avatar. I have always made it clear that I was a male playing a mithra, aka mantra.

      I hoping they have some nice bishounen Hyur midlander styles. ^_^

      thank god yall voices arent annoying haha. i listened to the whole thing instead of doin schoolwork!

      but on the gender thing.. ive played female characters and not actually go around asking for stuff. some guys just gave me some stuff.

      lol but MOST importantly to me, i just love seeing a girl kick ass. i guess thats why i love any movie angelina jolie is in :D but if i can have 2 characters without it costing extra, ill have one of each gender!

      great podcast. it was my first and yall got me hooked!

      I don't want you to post it here but you probably should think about how that specific situation occurred. What was said or asked and the like.. because:

      If you don't do something, and you don't say anything,
      that means you did something

      Anyone else get the impression he was protesting JUST a tad too much? Sounds like youre busted, Oro :D

      i mean there is plenty we can disagree on but if they would try to give me something, id take it as a trade. i would ATTEMPT to give them something back. i mean how would i know that they are just being nice, and not that its becuz my avatars a girl. most of these situations occured from random guys, NOT ones that i was friends with bcuz the ones i were knew i was a guy. ALSO this is phantasy star universe im talking about so this situation might change with ffxiv lol (most guys playing that were little 13 year olds ;P). but its not bcuz im trying to oogle goodies from guys, thats just the perk of having a female avatar. i dont base the gender i choose off of just that..(sorry if this doesnt make much sense)

      You would have to watch that show to know the moral of the story. I wasn't trying to say you were oogling things from guys ^_~

      Its just if they were to "assume" without ever asking or making any kind of conversation on the topic, its how will "they" take it. And I should have probably said, It doesn't matter to me who plays what actually. As long as they don't get in the way of me having fun playing the game, its a waste of my time to worry about it =) Consider me a member of the "if they don't stalk or get perverted, i dont care" party.
