Who Are We?

Who Are We?

We are the chosen ones. We are the soldiers rushing into battle. We are the hunters in the woods. We are the saviors of the princess and the thugs on the streets. We are the adventurers, traveling the dusty paths and through the thick forests in search of treasure and glory with our companions. By the way, we are the companions, as well. The starship pilots; the Super Bowl MVPs; the heavyweight champions; we are they. We are the mages, the street racers, the musicians, and the Jedi warriors. We are the demons in the night, and the avengers that hunt them. We are your closest enemy, and your best friend. We are the men inside your video games, and you are what we are. But the question still remains; who are we?
On the next new Inside the Console, we will attempt to answer that question. On the next show, the guys will examine, well, guys. More specifically, the guys in the games that we play and how they are portrayed. As the show approaches, please take a minute to answer a few questions for us.

Do you see the men in video games as true to life portrayals of real men?
Do you feel that men video games can be role models? If so, how?
Have you ever been offended by a male character in a game? If so, what character and how did that portrayal offend you?
Are there any male characters in any games that you would want to hang out with?
If you are a person who dates men, are there any male video game characters you would date?
Is this a subject that you have ever given any thought to before now?
