I pretend I'm rational, pragmatic, unsentimental. I deal with the issues, man, the core of our intellectual relationship with games, the subtle layers of gamer psychology. And I feign androgyny; my gender has no place in my writing. I'll even scrutinize a digital rack with the best of 'em (isn't it just a bit sad that this article was #1 on Gametab and didn't leave the top ten all weekend?)
Then, though, I see this picture and every component of my veneer dissolves like the polar ice caps against the march of Man's global campaign to subjugate nature. For all chicks who obsessively breed adorable chocobos that they love too much to race (almost), who take elaborate sidequests only to receive the tiny, fluffy Chicobo's Triple Triad card, who bear up admirably against the peripheral reminder of the ever-ticking biological clock -- I believe I speak for all of us when I clear my throat and explosively effuse:
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~~~!!!!!! A CHOCOBABY!!!!!!!!!111"
I'm going to go wash my heart in lye soap for a while until its forbidding crust has properly reformed, at which point I'll be back to say, "But how about that mother? Damn, didn't somebody tell her Tifa's supposed to be hot?"

but yeah!! a chocobaby!!! awww!
you know, if you put your fingers (or anything) over her hair so that you can only see her face, she looks just like a man.
Though I must say I did look around to see if anyone was in the room and gave a big "Awwwwww" at the couple that had dressed up their daughter like Aeris.
- Breed it with the wild parent Chocobo in an endless loop of incest to achieve the rare gold chocobaby which you will ride over water to get.... (i'll stop here)
Of course, I am referring to ALL WOMEN here, not just Leigh, who I must compliment on the speed at which the hole she dug with "cute!" was filled with "oh, snap!".
Bitter? Me? I don't know what you're talking about.
Cool article, thx Leigh.
2/10 for the mama.
Babies are cute, especially when dressed as game characters. Average girls trying to pull off a believable cosplay of one of the hottest girls in an RPG, not so much.
She's not as hot as the Jim Henson's Tay Zonday Baby, though.
