After much research we have come up with a list of voice actors with links to lesboland. Yes that’s right, some of our favorite lesbian characters in TV / Film have done video game voice work and some of them you will not believe, though if you saw the Sara Ramirez / Lammy image in our features section, I guess that cat.. err.. lamb is out of the voice actor bag. Without further ado, let’s look at some lesbian connections in video game voice acting!

As we stated and chose to use as our main image, none other than Sara Ramirez who plays Dr. Calliope “Callie” Torres in Grey’s Anatomy did the voice of video game character Lammy in PaRappa the Rapper 2 and UmJammer Lammy.

I know right, how totally bizarre is that? Well it’s something we never realized until we saw it last year. This one was actually what got us thinking about who else might have done video game voice work.

Lauren Lee Smith who played uber cute chef Lara “The Soup Chef” Perkins in The L Word voiced Riley Adams in the 2009 video game CSI: Crime Scene Investigates – Deadly Intent.

Yeah we know, hardly surprising since she plays that character in the TV show this is based on. Of course this is because that is the character Lauren Lee Smith played in the TV series of the same name.

Jane Lynch who played Joyce Wischinia in The L Word and is of course a lesbian in her real life, oddly is listed as having done voice work for 2009 game Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust. She plays a studio exec in the game.

Having checked out this character one has to ask WHY! but perhaps that’s more because of the game this is in. Ahh well we still have Sue Sylvester eh?

Malaya Rivera Drew who played the evil Adele Channing in The L Word voiced Julie in the 2003 video game Midnight Club II.

She was the annoying French chick in case your memory is foggy, she raced with another female character called Jewel… oooh la la. Seriously who liked Adele, come on hands up, well she was a less annoying character than Julie.

Danielle Kremeniuk who appeared in The L Word as Sam Makavejev also voiced Angie in 2006 video game Need for Speed: Carbon.

A little foggy on just who Sam was in The L Word? Well she was working on Les Girls and was pretty flirty with Tina. Bette was none too happy obviously (because Tina is the one for her and she knows it!).

Maria Dimou who appeared in 4 episodes of The L Word as Patricia voiced a character in the 2005 video game SSX on Tour. No other info known about this one so let’s assume a passing peripheral female.

As far as The L word goes, the character of Patricia was so unmemorable to me I appear to have wiped all memory of her from my L Word soaked brain, so no help here, sorry!

Kristanna Loken who played Paige Sobel in The L Word as well as BloodRayne in the BloodRayne film (dire though it was) voiced Iphigenia/Lethe in the 2003 video game Battlestar Galactica.

She also voiced T-X in the 2003 game Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and also the 2004 game Terminator 3: Redemption (she played the T-X in the T3 film). Oh duh, let’s not forget she gets bonus points for allegedly dating Michelle Rodriguez.

Lena Headey who starred as the rather lovely Luce with Piper Perbo in the movie “Imagine Me & You” voices multiple characters in the 2009 video game Risen. Those characters are Patty/Jasmin/Cathy/Lily.

Remember Lena Headey also did that dead funny short where she played the psycho flatmate. Damn what was that called!

Michelle Forbes who played Admiral Helena Cain in Battlestar Galactica of course voices Dr. Judith Mossman in the Half Life games. As well as this she also voices Captain Gail Revas in the 2009 game The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

Bonus points for playing Ro Laren in STNG, but they’re swiftly removed for thinking Ryker was hotter than Troi…. seriously, as if!

Tricia Helfer who’s character Gina Inviere (one of many characters) was the love interest of the above Admiral Cain in Battlestar Galactica: Razor has loads of video games she’s voiced.

First up she’s EDI in Mass Effect II, she’s also Sarah Kerrigan in the StarCraft games, Dare in 2009 game Halo: ODST, Black Cat in 2008 game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Kilian Qatar in 2008 game Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath and 2007′s Tiberium Wars.

Patricia Velasquez who appeared in The L word as Begonia / Karina for 5 episodes also voiced the character of Marisol in the 2001 video game SSX Tricky <- SSX Trick is a great game if you've never tried it on the PS2 (best version).

My mind is a little fuzzy, but I assume Begonia was the actress playing the part of Karina in Les Girls? And she would be based on Marina… rowwrrrr.

Simone Bailly who played Grace in The L Word (she was only in 6 episodes) as well as ‘wife’ in Exes & Ohs, voiced a female officer in the 2005 game Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Not sure who Grace was? Well she was a nice friend Max had who wanted nothing for Max but to be himself. She was a bit of a computer geek and worked as Max’s intern for the OurChart.com website.

Jennifer Copping who played Carolyn Varajian in The L Word also voiced Frances “Frankie” Malone in the 2006 video game The Godfather and the same character in the Blackhand and Don’s Editions of the same game.

Actually on thinking about this, it’s a pretty tenuous connection given her character was straight (Tim’s friends wife). Oh well.

Jessica Hecht who played lesbian Susan Bunch in Friends (Ross’s ex wifes new wife) voiced a character in 1995 video game The Dark Eye. Let’s not forget she played one of the first lesbians on a popular prime time series!

There’s really not that much info around about the character, but man that game looked creepy!

Lolita Davidovich who played that nasty piece of work Francesca Wolff in The L Word (you remember Marina’s girlfriend) voiced a couple of 90′s video games including Of Light and Darkness in 1998 in which she voiced Angel Geminia (an exotic dancer) and also the 1995 video game Chronomaster in which she voiced Jester, the lead characters walking / talking PDA (also voice acting by Ron Perlman and Brent Spiner).

Claudia Christian who played Susan Ivanova (who had a lesbian relationship with Talia Winters) in Babylon 5 voices loads of game characters. In the Shrek Forever After: The Game (yet to be released) she voices the Fairy Godmother, she also voices the character of Abbie in the 2009 game Pizza Morgana, the 2004 game Shrek 2 (Fairy Godmother again), White Rose in the 2003 game Secret Weapons Over Normandy, Lady Katherine Isabella Olivia deWinter in 2002 game Earth and Beyond, Sangaril/Logosarch/Rosalind/Dama Heras in the 2002 game Summoner 2, Helga Sinclair in the 2001 game Atlantis and lastly Maj. Delany Kelt in the 1997 game Solar Eclipse.

Ming Na who plays lesbian character Camille Wray in StarGate: Universe voiced the character of Mulan in the 2005 video game Kingdom Hearts II. She also voiced Streetfighter character Chun-Li in the 1995 video game Street Fighter: The Movie.

Seriously does anyone like Ming Na’s character Camille Wray in Stargate: Universe? The only time she’s likable is when she’s with her girlfriend, but we guess that’s what counts.

Cathy DeBuono who played Becca in Exes & Ohs as well as Risa in Out at the Wedding, voiced the character of a soldier in the 1999 game Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm. [Note image is cover artwork as no image of character available].

Come on, what more do you need to know, seriously it’s Cathy “I look awesome in a white singlet top” DeBuono. That is all we have, move along.

Alyson Hannigan – unsurprisingly – voiced Willow Rosenburg in the 2002 video game Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her on screen partner played by Amber Benson didn’t appear in the 2002 Buffy game, but did voice her character in the followup game in 2003 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds).

It’s Willow. Do we really have to add anything else? Thought not.

Anna Torv who played lesbian cheaty cheaterson Alex in UK series Mistresses (and more recently the straight Agent Olivia Dunham in Fringe), voiced and played Nariko in the wonderful PS3 title Heavenly Sword.

Oh let’s not forget there was also that weird Fringe episode where Agent Dunham was taken over by this creepy guy and she pretty much got it on (off screen) with a female stripper. Classy.

Keeley Hawes who played Kitty Butler in UK series Tipping the Velvet (and more recently cool MI5 agent Zoe Reynolds in Spooks), voiced Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legend (2006), Tomb Raider Anniversary (2007), Tomb Raider: Underworld and related DLC (2008) and the upcoming Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (Due August 2010 at time of writing).

Thanks to Hutton for reminding us!

That’s all we’ve got for you in our lesbian connections and gaming voice work. If you can think of any more, let us know and we will amend and give credit.

We hope you’ve liked this look at lesbian gamers lesbian connections and the voice actresses in video games.

If you liked this look at lesbian / gaming crossovers, you might also enjoy the Lesbian Geek piece Battlestar Galactica Meets The L Word.

Someone said “hey add some blurb before the Mass Effect 2 quotes to give them context” so here we are, not that we felt they needed much introduction / explanation, but it is our job to please. Below you will find quotes that we feel should have appeared in Mass Effect 2. Note: These are not actual quotes from Mass Effect 2, these are made up quotes we felt fit the Mass Effect 2 game to good comic effect.
We do hope you enjoy them and if you want to add a few of your own, that would be awesome also.

	Garrus Vakarian: “I understand your confusion Commander [female], I too am baffled as to why you are not seen as a potential romantic interest from the female members of the crew.

	Jeff “Joker” Moreau: “Commander I just had this wicked idea for a visual entertainment program that features action figures and stop motion animation to bring the stories to life. What do you mean don’t quit your day job?”

	Kenneth Donnelly: “Holy craaap capn I canae give err any more, my Scoottish accent is worse than that guy Scootty from the Storeship Enterprose”

Whilst perusing the interwebs for lesbian related gaming news, we came across a user on YouTube who has made a few clips in PC game The Movies. We’ve included her take on the lesbian dating scene after the jump. It’s a nice effort. It was surprising there wasn’t more machinima lesbians though, given the straight male fantasy angle with such things.

Here we are back with another Lesbian Gaming Tryst. Yes, it’s been awhile hasn’t it, but thanks to a recent suggestion by ‘Sara’, our artiste has come up with the goods to bring us Ashley and Samus.

Ashley Graham appeared in Resident Evil 4, whilst Samus of course appears in the Metroid series of games. We hope Sara and the rest of you tryst fans enjoy this one… as always image below for your delectation.

Thanks to our talented artiste Amanda once more for the image.
Thanks also to ‘Sara‘ for this suggestion.

If you’ve got a suggestion for a gaming lesbian tryst, just pop the names of the two gaming girls (characters) you’d like to see in a couples pose in the comments here and we’ll see what we can do.

Other Lesbian Trysts can be found in the “Art & Fun” section in our navigation area.

Oh Zoey, how you do make some girls hearts go all a flutter and one heart in particular seems to be rather taken with you… Hunter. No it’s not that twisted ‘rape porn’ image that’s doing the internet rounds (ugh!), we’re talking lesbian love here people.

Yes, not all Hunter’s are male, it’s hard to see under that hoody you see. One Hunter tells her story and of her love for Zoey in our fun article / story “Left 4 Dead Love Story – Hunter & Zoey”.

Through the eyes of the Hunter
Zoey and Hunter a love story
Just another day on the block, same hoody, same torn jeans, same frenzied thoughts raging through my mind as I dangle my legs from the rooftop.

Before all this started – the sickness – I was going to college, had my heart set on a degree in computer science. Life was pretty good and about the only thing hanging over me was the big coming out thing to my parents. I’d always been a major tomboy, not like they’d be stunned with the news that their skate board lovin, hoody wearing daughter – who was often mistaken for a boy – liked the ladies in the romantic sense.

Then I got sick… me… and a whole lot of other people.

I still have momentary flashes of clarity, in my mind, but my body won’t listen. I just feel like I want to rip someone’s f_cking head off ya know… my hands tremble and there’s not much I can do. I want to live, I just want to survive this nightmare, oh and cut these unsightly nails, I mean really… long nails… no it just won’t do.

Last week I saw 4 “survivors” and though I wanted to leap down on them from on high, I’d just seen that fat barf dude Guido and his buddy vomit on one of them only to explode in a hail of gunfire, so I chose to sit perched atop the truck I was on and watch from a distance. It was then that I saw her.

Cute, sneakers, red jacket, tight tee, shame about the Uzi really. Me and Zoey, we could have had something. Back in the day, I’d have asked her out for sure, my gaydar dinged when I saw her and I bet she used to like boarding, gaming, music, all the things I loved before this happened to me. She was sweet, I just gazed and gazed at her. Sadly though, right then and there, I just wanted to jump her, and not in a good way, more in a Travis the chimp way… (too soon? Ed.)

I watched her and she took point, which let’s face it, is majorly hot, even if there’s a chance you’re going to be on the pointy end of her 9mm Parabellum. There’s something about a girl with a gun that is awesome… that Palin chick aside.

Her and her friends were pretty cool, but selfish f_ckers, only out for themselves, screw all those poor unfortunates they wiped off the map. Oh sure sure they’re sick… infected… well if someone finds a cure, they’d made sure there were a LOT less folk to give it to. They even took out old smokey, ironically the infected version of the old nam vet they had with them, but they didn’t see that. They just popped him one for coughing and sticking his tongue out at them, and these people think we’re the bad guys?

Anyway, they left the neighborhood and I didn’t see them again. That was like a week ago and I’m still hanging around, like I usually do, hoping some crazy ass “survivor” doesn’t decide to head my direction and we get into a little one on one, god I’m even having uncontrollable urges to jump guys, now that shit is just not right!

As for Zoey, I’m pretty sure her and her buddies escaped the city because I just got this feeling, well that and I saw a helicopter enter and leave a few hours later, over at the hospital and I know they went in there.

I think about Zoey still…
Zoey…. We’d have been friends at the very least… before I got sick.
Now… I just wanna rip your sweet smiling face off.

It’s time for another “Question a Lesbian Gamer”. Wow, it’s been so long since anyone emailed us a question for this area we’d pretty much forgotten it was there. So in rolls “StuffedChickpea”, we’re assuming not their real name with a question:

Question: “Les gamers I have a question for the {question a les gamer} section of your site. What do lesbians do in bed?”.

Well StuffedChickpea, we’re glad you asked such a gaming related question. The answer of course is, have sex, sleep, sometimes read, sometimes watch TV. Hell we’ll even throw in “sometimes play *DS” to keep it right and on topic. Will wonders never cease “teh gays” are just like everyone else.

We do hope this answers your Question a Lesbian Gamer query… on Lesbian Gamers… a site all about video games…. on the off chance you thought this was a sex site….

*DS as in Nintendo DS, not Domination Sadomasochism or Dildo Strapons… though that’s not to say some people don’t do those things be they gay. bi or straight. ;op

Ever wondered if Lara Croft and others are living the gay celebrity lifestyle of remaining in the closet for PR reasons? As she travels the world, is her partner at home posing as her personal trainer, business partner, nanny? We thought we’d look at a few of our favorite female game characters and pose the question: Are they or aren’t they?

It’s all in good fun as we look at numerous female game characters and whether they might be in the closet.

We all know movie stars do it, singers do it, the rich and famous do it. Whether we understand it or not, sometimes people love the inside of their closet.

This got us thinking about our favorite gaming females, which, statistically speaking would see around 6-8 percent of them being gay, therefore, they’re clearly in the closet. Some have beards, some fake relationships, some are loners, some sporting some tells, whatever the case we thought it would be fun to look at who might be lurking in the gaming closet….

	Lara Croft She is: Clearly deep in an ornately hewn oaken closet, Lady Croft is rarely seen with male companions and when she is, she ends up shooting them. She spent time at an all girls school and was dorm mates with hot bad ass Amanda Evert. Need we say more?
She isn’t: We can’t think of many reasons why Lara Croft couldn’t be a closeted lesbian. She breaks gender role stereotypes, rocks it on a motorbike, wears boots and has to be shoehorned into high heel shoes by her butler… nuff said. L Word Comparison Dyke: Lara Croft is the Bette Porter – Helena Peabody lovechild of gaming. She’s well dressed, upper class and knows her art.
	Jade She is: Jade is a closeted dyke because she just is. Let’s look at the facts. She loves photography, wants to make the world a better place, doesn’t yearn for breast implants and doesn’t watch morning TV. Jade also has a cool babydyke nickname ‘Shauni’ and dings the gaydar big time. She also likes a little martial arts and she was raised by a male pig.
She isn’t: It’s a fallacy that girls ‘turn into lesbians’ because of daddy issues, so the fact she was raised by a male pig has no bearing, we just thought it was funny. Jade also loves wearing lipstick.. .which while some lezzies do, would they make green their color of choice? Stereotypical Comparison Dyke: Jade is the cute babybutch dyke that was head of the journalism club in your last year of high school, first year of college, a sort of gay Veronica Mars or Chloe Sullivan.
	Alyx She is: Totally is, I mean come on! Alyx is a hacker and computer lover, she sports your ‘stereotypical’ favored dyke clothing (hoodie, jeans, belt) and she has short hair, now everyone knows ALL* lesbians have short hair (note Jade also gets additional points for this)!
She isn’t: Well… we still think she is, but Gordon Freeman and the whole Vortigaunt thing where they need to "weave their lives together" or whatever means Alyx is in that closet to stay, thanks to major social pressures and storyline expectations. Cute Butch Comparison Dyke: Alyx is the cute smart lesbian that ran the college computer lab group and on weekends was president of the Women in IT group. She was probably friends with Jade.
	Samus She is: She’s a kick ass bounty hunter like Domino, only in a cool suit and without the ‘issues’. She was allegedly referred to as male in the instruction booklet for the first game – must have got her cute dyke butchness confused. Samus is also a lone wolf type, which is what Hollywood love doing to lesbians too. Like Jade, Alyx and Lara, Samus fits the ‘lone lesbian’ stereotype because you can’t truly be a media lesbian alone because there’s no one else to be lesbian with.
She isn’t: For the same reason Kara ‘Starbuck’ Thrace from Battlestar Galactica isn’t… this reason: "Frak knows" and with regards to the Metroid universe and BSG universe Kevin Keene is no different to Sam Anders… word! L Word Comparison Dyke: Samus is sort of the Dana Fairbanks character. She’s physically fit and takes her job seriously, but we bet she’s a bit of a dork under that suit.
	Rayne She is: Hello!!… Kristianna Loken played her in the movie, with then main squeeze – droopy eyed bad girl – Michele Rodriguez… till Loken jumped ship unsurprisingly. She doesn’t mix well with Nazis and likes vamping it up. Her and Lara Croft would be one hot fling.
She isn’t: She was the first video game character to appear in Playboy Magazine, now you know it would have been Diva, Curve, Cherrie or LOTL if she were an out and proud lezzie. Comparison Dyke: Helena Peabody. She’s a bit of a vamp, has a penchant for revenge and looks hot in tight black leather.
	Tifa Lockheart She is: She’s just got that whole vibe, even though she has the Cloud thing happening and she wears a mini skirt that’s more like a belt. Her and Cloud are more like best friends than lovers. Second to this she runs a bar called ’7th Heaven’, which let’s face it is probably owned by someone named Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindy.
She isn’t: She’s a bit like Trinity in the Matrix.. she’s got the total vibe, but she’s always giving the googy eye to a boy, so she’s clearly no dyke. Comparison Dyke: The cute confused lesbian, bi-girl, lesbian, bi-girl you’ve probably met at some point.
	Claire Redfield She is: She’s a biker chick who spends more time worrying about her brother than any other guy in the world. She’s also played by Ali Larter in the movie Resident Evil: Extinction and she’s pretty cool. We like to think her and Zoey from Left 4 Dead live together in Canada some place, happy in a post zombie apocalypse and attending Dyke Night at their local bar.
She isn’t: She wears pink…. A lot. Comparison Dyke: Hmm tough call, how about Maggie from Better Than Chocolate, a bit prissy on the outside, but lesbian all the way on the inside, oh and she has a pervy annoying brother.
	Kiera Stokes She is: She’s a Special Forces Op that deals with paranormal creepy girls! She sports fingerless gloves and her name is Stokes for goodness sake aka Stokely! Yes any connection with Clea DuVall automatically ups the dyke pointometer. We’re fairly sure her and Jin Sun-Kwon (another F.E.A.R. Officer) have a secret cabin in the Rockies together.
She isn’t: She hangs out with a bunch of macho straight guys and appears to be ever so slightly enamored of one of them.. L Word Comparison Dyke: Stokes is probably the Tasha Williams character, it’s that whole "don’t ask don’t tell" thing because she’s in the military and works with a bunch of meatheads who think the term "gay" means "backs to the wall boys" as they all cackle like they’re 13 and brainless..
So there you have it, there’s probably more of course, but we thought you might like to add your own in the same format, why they are, why they’re not and who they’re comparable to either in The L Word or reality. We hope you’ve enjoyed this little trip back into the closet. *stereotypical dyke traits are used as a tool of amusement. We are not really suggesting ALL lesbians have short hair, wear hoodies, like boots, despise high heels and wouldn’t wear green lipstick… actually… belay that.. we’re pretty sure no lesbians would wear green lippy, unless it was for Jade cosplay… obviously. Everything else though… just for fun… seriously.

It’s been a little while so we thought it was time for another Lesbian Video Game Tryst. If there are two characters often held up as the poster children for lesbians in gaming it is Hana Tzu Vachel and Rain Qin from PS1 title "Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix".

Despite the suggestive marketing utilized for this title that suggested the two are indeed lesbians, the Director of the title stated these characters aren't lesbians, but bi-sexual. Either way, these are two cool gaming ladies.

Thanks to our talented artiste Amanda once more for the image.
Thanks also to ‘CardinalX‘ for this cool suggestion.

If you’ve got a suggestion for a gaming lesbian tryst, just pop the names of the two gaming girls (characters) you’d like to see in a couples pose in the comments here and we’ll see what we can do.

Other Lesbian Trysts can be found in the “Art & Fun” section in our navigation area.

Ever wondered what a Facebook feed might look like if your favorite gaming ladies were members and social networked into the night? Well wonder no more because we’ve got the scoop.

We’ve tried to cover as many female games characters as we could think of, but if you come up with anymore, feel free to add them in the comments and we’ll see if we can find time to amend, assuming we’re not, ya know, on Facebook ourselves.

Yes we’ve been at it again with casting The L Word in video games. You may recall our L Word in MySims article – which you can search for or peek at in the All Articles section / Lesbian Amusement Mix – from ages back? Well with the “New Xbox Experience” released recently we wondered what the L Word cast might look like and what they’d be doing hanging out on Xbox Live.

With this in mind we’ve put together a full article and images of all your favorite L Word characters in Xbox Avatar form, along with a blurb about their gaming habits. You can check it out at the link below:

	Bette Porter Bette is the artistic, business, mother hen dyke about town. When she’s on Xbox Live she plays to win and no one is gonna get in her way. Bette’s favorite games are Overlord and Civilization Revolution because she loves controlling things. She’s also been seen logging into BioShock, we expect so she can gaze at its beauty, shed a tear and blast some stresses away.
	Tina Kennard Tina is the confused, oh no I’m not confused anymore, now I know what I want type. She owned an Xbox once before, then she traded it for a PS3 (gasp!!), then she got sick of the PS3 and realized all the good games were on the Xbox she originally had. Her favorite game is presently The Spiderwick Chronicles because she can play it with her kid because that defines who she is now.
	Shane McCutcheon Shane is the good girl in bad girl clothing. She always wants to do the right thing, but somehow usually ends up doing the wrong thing. She’s also got a thing for the ladies. This explains her purchases of Dead or Alive Xtreme and Rumble Roses XX. Shane’s favorite games of the moment include Saint’s Row and Halo 3. We also think she’ll shortly be playing Fallout 3 after what happened at Jenny’s party.
	Jenny Schecter Jenny is a pixie, we mentioned this before. She likes playing games between self harming and episodic bitchiness. Jenny had big plans for the game of life, but her work in the supermarket meant she could only afford a PS1. Jenny then struck a lucrative deal and she went up market and bought an Xbox 360. She’s not a good gamer though, she forgot all the friends she’d made in her PS1 days, treated them like shit and played Xbox with the tiny dog that follows her everywhere… that’s the Chihuahua not Adele.
	Alice Pieszecki Alice is the cute / funny one that never seems to choose the right one. This is probably why she had a Dreamcast she watched being played for years, then decided to play it, LOVED it and then the damn thing went and died on her. Since then Alice has wandered aimlessly through Cooking Mama on the Wii for a brief period, before settling into some Call of Duty on Xbox Live, but we don’t think it will last.
	Dana Fairbanks Dana Fairbanks was a champion tennis player and a dork. Everyone loved Dana, but a deity called Chaiken put her in a skin colored shower cap at a basketball game and things went downhill from there. Back in the day Dana was a master at Top Spin and SEGA Superstars Tennis. She used to love playing multi-player with Lara Perkins and Alice Pieszecki. There was also some multi-player with a freak called Tonya, but she took her off her friends list. Tonya talked too much whilst gaming saying things like "I can’t beleive I’m about to game with Dana Fairbanks".
	Lara Perkins Lara Perkins was an adorable chef, who became an adorable sex kitten, who became an adorable ex of Dana Fairbanks. Word has it Lara Perkins made the BEST "Finger Food" anyone had ever had. Dana seemed to think so, before she got all bald and weird and screamed at adorable Lara to leave. When she returned briefly Alice found out Lara made a great snack too. When she lived in Vancouver … LA (it never gets old!) Lara’s favorite game was Cooking Mama on the Wii. Since she moved to San Fransisco she prefers Xbox Live so she can kick Alice’s ass on Call of Duty.
	Helena Peabody Helena got into gaming by way of her children whom she adored. No one knows where they went, but they disappeared, which was okay because Helena seemingly has no memory of them anyway. In their wake they left Helena the Xbox 360 and she’s grown to quite like it. It’s not as expensive as the PS3, which is why Helena tells people she has one of those too. She’s presently seen logging into Just Cause and Need For Speed Most Wanted, probably something to do with recent company she kept.
	Kit Porter Kit is a coffee store owning musician and a reminder that Bette Porter is a woman of color. She used to like to drink a bit too much so now she serves coffee and turns to Xbox instead of the bottle. She was recently seen logging into Rock Band, probably trying to get back some of that old magic we all keep hearing about. She had some dude called Mangus on her friends list, but deleted him for bad babysitting practices.
	Max Sweeney Max used to be called Moira and lived in Illinois, that is till she met Jenny on Xbox Live and decided to take a road trip with her. Though Jenny does tend to confuse people, Max wasn’t one of them, Max knew she wanted to be a he and took to transitioning – everything but that voice. Max is often heard on the Xbox Live headset saying "No dude, I really am a guy… I know my voice is high…..*sigh*" before switching it off and tutting.
	Eva ‘Papi’ Torres Yo yo yo what up y’all! Dis here is Papi and she is da bomb baby! Sorry, I’ll stop that now. Papi is a caricature of a Latino lady, she’s not cool like Carmen though, because she thinks she’s Gangsta, but she’s about as gangsta as Elmo in Scarface. Papi is constantly emailing Microsoft to ask them to make the friends list infinite, because she can’t possibly fit the women she’s slept with this week into 90 slots. She’s presently playing Saint’s Row, so she can study how the characters act and copy them.
	Tasha Williams Tasha is a soldier and she looks sweet in uniform, or did, till someone "asked and told" and there was this whole big mess. It’s because queers can’t fight and die for their country, as even people that hate them and want rid don’t see that as a good thing (go figure?!). As far as Xbox goes Tasha used to love playing Call of Duty, Brothers in Arms, Gears of War and all those shooters. Since getting back from Iraq though she prefers a game of Uno, ironic since Alice is probably going to tell her that’s what she prefers soon.
	Carmen de la Pica Morales Carmen is a Latino hottie, rumor has it she’s actually Iranian and her real name is Aahoo Jahansouz, but she changed it because she kept thinking people sneezing were calling her… think about it! Carmen used to date Shane, they met playing Halo on Xbox Live, but Shane realized multi-player co-op just wasn’t the game for her and she deleted Carmen from her friends list. Now Carmen plays single player because all of Shane’s friends deleted her as well. She was recently seen logging into Viva Pinata (oh come on! You knew it was coming!) and Guitar Hero World Tour. She’s really looking forward to the DJ Hero game Activision is apparently making.
	Marina Ferrer Marina owned hip café The Planet and was hot! She spoke with this sultry thing that changed the word "Jenny" into "Shjenny" and she loved reading obscure books no one had heard of other than "Shjenny". When Marina isn’t reading obscure books or hitting on straight / bi / confused / gay pixies, she sits at home – in her castle in Italy – playing Xbox Live with friends, none of whom reside in Vancouver.. err.. LA because although she was everyone’s friend when there, they all ignore her now like they do with Carmen. She was last seen logging into Eternal Sonata.
