Look, if she's good enough for Mark Valley, she should be good enough for you.
Sometimes Anna Torv looks pretty hot...then other times it looks like she has a big forehead...and the nose...iunno, it's the nose on Renee Walker that gets me honestly...plus not big on Freckles...I tend to mistake them for hair :-/

I only saw season 1...I have a magazine with some pretty hot pictures of her though...Pretty sure it's Esquire, either that or GQ...subscribe to both magazines
Have you played it at all? With HCR guys? Because that's just not true at all. It's a tremendously frustrating game at times (and I would argue, designed to be so), but the basic concepts are superior to others of its kind. You have a constant threat. You have to get out of your safe room, and get to the next one. You have to keep each other alive in the process. It's fantastic.
I didn't like the graphics, the zombie classes, the running zombie thing (a minor gripe), the reliance on sudden scares over a slow build. The controls were ok and the weapons ok. The online play had a definite Halo-ness to it. And while I loved Halo back in the day, the playstyles implemented in Halo were always (for lack of a better word) juvenile.

That, and the jeep in the park, killed the game for me. The end boss didn't help, with his utterly bull#### Capcom-erific bull#### bull####.
"Should we make the end boss manageable?"
"Well, we're Capcom."
"Right, so I'll make him utterly bull#### unless you sorta glitch him. Got it."
"Good work Jenkins, you've got a future here at Capcom!"
"Oh, sir, I'm also going to lock down the controls so that it's for left-handed people only!"
"For that, Jenkins, you get my daughter's hand in marriage!"
"Thank you, sir! Also, I made all the fonts unreadable unless you have an HDTV. I know it's a little early on HDTV, and not everyone has an HDTV yet, but...."
"I....I wish you were my own child, Jenkins."
So, was Dead Rising great? Undoubtedly. Was it replayable? At the time. Would I ever play it again? Not on your life, not when other stuff has come out that doesn't give me tremendous headaches and make me want to throw stuff. I look forward to Dead Rising 2, where hopefully, they'll let you change your controls to something a right-handed person would use, they don't have you roll the dice every time you go through various load screens just to find out you're dead and can't do anything about it, or a boss that requires you wedge him into a glitch in order to beat him. Because, yes, under all the bull#### frustrations the game produced for me, there was an actual good game there.
It's kinda like eating your favorite ice cream, but having to pick nails out of it every now and then. It's your favorite damn ice cream, but ####! Nails!
But, it's Capcom. My faith wavers.
The text bothered me. The controls did at first, but I got really good with them. The jeep was frustrating at first, but once you learn how to quickly dispatch it, you're good to go. I think maybe it's one of those games you just couldn't adjust to, but I personally played it for near 5 months straight, testing various things after having beaten it a number of times.

But in the end, it's still CoD, which I just can't get into. I think a big part of it is that CoD has the "Halo effect" on me.
Never played GoW. CoD remains one of my favorite games ever. I do hate certain playstyles though. namely the noob tube which I think they shoudl remove altogether from multiplayer mode.

When I finally got an HDTV, I bought an XBox 360 and Dead Rising. I STILL couldn't read the damn text.

You just quoted my response to Resident Evil 0 right there.

So I know we really don't talk about mafia stuff here, but I think I'm going to try and run a Futurama game, as long as I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. It's going to be a small game, and I don't think I'm going to post a sign up until I have everything written up.
Oh, most deff. Dunno why, but fair skin dotted with freckles on a lady (particularly if she's wearing a bikini) is all kindsa hot.
(Yeah, yeah - I am biased about white girls. Figures I married one that can't even tan. Our kids can tan, though. They are melanin-enhanced through superior genetic bio-engineering. )

It just sucked so I stopped picking trades up not sure if any others came out after that one or not...just decided they jumped the shark at that point
It hasn't jumped the shark for me, yet - though the story arc having to do with Rick's wife was immensely heartbreaking to me. (I won't go and spoil.)

Hey now, I can't even tan! Not my fault that I'm Irish and French Canadian!
(Which, by the way, is like taking milk and mixing it with marshmallow fluff, skin tone-wise.)

I do not like the way Anna Torv looks. She has that whole "what's that smell" look about her all the time. It's the main reason why I couldn't continue watching Fringe.
