"I want to be her!" Female characters in games, and a message of love to my wonderful gaming Partner [Now updated!]
|
|
|
Last year on Valentine’s Day I wrote a love letter to my wife in the form of a GeekList ( http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/19673). To my complete and utter astonishment, it has garnered just shy of 300 thumbs, and at the time it was one of the most thumbed lists. This year I thought I would pay a poetic tribute to women in games, and in particular, to my Number One gaming partner, my wife of 2 years. So here’s to the ladies! And to my lovely wife, I'm afraid you're stuck with yet another ultra-geeky Valentine’s Day card! [Edit: I was going to avoid "going there", but I have now added Item #19  You can blame user bjhendricks!]

To my wife who looks like Sybil Spellsinger
Your spelling's okay but you are a great singer
You've enchanted me like only you can
And turned an angry punk into a merry man
By bringing me lots of great beer.

The lovely Galadriel so tall and so fair
Reminds me of you, except for your hair
For while it's not golden, there's no need for worryin'
Cause your beauty compares to the Lady of Lorien
I'll be sure to try not to leer

You're my Queen Bee and though it must "bug" you
How I always surround you with hugs and with bugs too
You ant got to worry, things will get perked up
So remain well beehived and don't get too worked up
Things can only get beetle from here

You're my Cleopatra and I am your Antony
You're the architect of my passion, my Honey
But you heard me wrong, there's no need to gasp
I said you have a very dangerous "ASP"
Not sure why you thought you heard "rear"

You are my Guenivere, in your beauty I wallow
I'll follow you as far as an African swallow
And I'm your faithful King Arther; wait I'm not
I should say rather, that I'm your Lancelot
From my quest for your love I won't veer

I don't eat much garlic, I stay away from stake
I won't run, Miss Harker, my life you can take
(Or you could if I wasn't already Undead)
Our connection is deep thanks to the blood I you fed
It's not a true story, I fear

The fearsome Ann Bonny and scary Mary Read
...wait we're pirates, rules of rhyme we don't need!
So leave me be, Me Hearties! I've got a leg to peg, an eye patch to snatch, a ship to equip, a village to pillage, a governor's daughter to slaughter, a cup o' rum to put in me tum, some Pieces of Eight to appropriate, and a guy with a black spot that needs to be shot. Arrrrr!!*
*I know I've already used this particular phrase more than once in the past, but it's one of my favourite things that I've ever written!

An evil Princess that chases away knights?
That's not appropriate, that don't seem right!
You're not that mean, and you're not that scary
As for me, I would like to be the Fai... Dragon
Look out 'cause my flames might sear

The Queen is most powerful, you don't want her gone
I'll be your King, but I won't be your pawn!
I'm better at strategy, it's not that I hate you
Just be careful! Watch out! Or I just might mate you.
At least twice or thrice per year

You're somewhat green, but despite that you're healthy
I called you the Queen, but they call you "Miss Stealthy"
Now I as the Inspector cannot turn my back
Cause you'll slip through the exit... wait YOU were the Jack?
Well that's a little bit queer

My darling you keep a fine little home
So warm and so cozy, so fit for this po'm
Compared to the Madame's it's just as hospitable
However I'd say it's a bit more respectable
Wait, YOU were Jack too? Oh dear!
