One way or the other, being based as it is on the first book--and I've confirmed this by checking the cast list--the film will suffer one major drawback: no Toph.Toph Bei Fong, in case you don't know, is a twelve-year-old blind girl with bad manners and an attitude problem, who also happens to be the world's greatest earthbender, a power she abuses by beating up muscle-bound men in a pro-wrestling-like competition. Due to my heroine addiction, any story can instantly win my goodwill by introducing a spindly female who beats the bejabbers out of men three times her size, especially if she makes sarcastic comments while doing it.She is crude, rude, often hygienically challenged and cheerfully ignorant and aggressive.If you are a guy, she'll probably challenge you to a fight or a drinking competition, win both and then take an aggressive lead in anything sexual that happens, before kicking you out the front door the following morning or teasing you mercilessly if she lets you stay some more.I’ve been binge watching Extra Play’s series on Dark Souls (with the under title “Dan sucks at Dark Souls”) lately and found myself oddly intrigued by the game. So, on November 7, N7 day, I decided it was finally time. I got Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition the same week it was released but I haven’t touched the single player (I have played a fair bit of multiplayer though) until now.Like all fictional blind people, she has heightened senses that give her an advantage over the seeing; in particular, she can sense sonic vibrations through her feet, which produce an accurate 3D mental map of her surroundings. Although Avatar had my goodwill from the first episode, when it introduced Toph in the second book, my goodwill became distilled and pure.

No dice: I couldn’t get a wireless signal to set off the phone’s alarm, so I couldn’t figure out where it was.

For those of you who follow me on twitter/tumblr/instagram, you might’ve seen the progress pictures. So I’m sitting here rendering some Space Marine footage for the I-lost-count’th time and remembered I should write something here.

Sophie: But speaking of heat, how's your face doing under all that hair? It's just that that hairstyle looks like it'd get awfully frustrating. How such a character could see clearly through such a thick curtain of hair — as is usually the case — is most often completely ignored.

Contrast with Hidden Eyes, which is usually just temporary.

She likes sports, beer, cars, swearing, fighting and sex in a stereotypically masculine way.
