Welcome to Episode 52 of the Best Games Ever show: The Best Games With Ginger Protagonists.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Cal Kestis is just the latest in a long line of gaming redheads, a revered group that includes such famous characters as Femshep, Joanna Dark, and her face in The Legend of the Dragon. I couldn’t be more proud to see this proud tradition continue.
listen. I’m not even really a ginger, but I have a mulatto reddish tinge to my beard, and I kind of look like an rim-lit auburn, so I think that basically makes me a part of the ginger community. So I can say with confidence that growing ginger, especially in the UK, is a mixed bag. As far as bias goes, being on the receiving end is a fairly harmless one: mostly just silly jokes, nothing particularly harrowing or sinister. But you’ve always been considered fair game. Almost every day you don’t hear a joke about ginger on TV. It’s a trait in your genes that makes you enjoy endless banter, but it rarely turns into something worse, so much so that complaining about it is almost trivial. It’s nothing like living as part of a minority who has experienced real prejudice, racism, or persecution. So the Ginger Experience is a bit like a perpetual sneeze: a perennial source of obsession that you can’t do anything about.
Where we are enormously privileged, however, is in representation in the media. A lot of the coolest people are ginger. Bryce Dallas Howard, Conan O’Brien, Shirley Manson, Michael the damn Fassbender? The list is endless. Nicole Kidman, and one more. Damien Lewis. Ed Sheeran. Um. Ignore that, we’re not asking for him. The point is, Ginger does well in the media and enjoys more positive representation than most other minority groups. This is even more true for the video game world, where you can’t wield a sporran without hitting a dozen ginger protagonists. There are more Ginger video game characters than there are Welsh people. perhaps. I didn’t do numbers. For a group that makes up less than two percent of the world’s population, we’ve done a pretty good job of getting ourselves onto the screen. But which is the best game with a Ginger protagonist? As we discussed, our panelists have many options for this. Which redheads are above the rest? How exactly does everyone interpret the word “ginger”?

tom picks football manager On top of that, you can play a redhead if you want. It’s not an argument particularly in his favour.
connor
With the game being a complete product of trash puns, ninja bread man It’s not listed as one of the worst games, but that’s only because of the Leisure Suit Larry game. Here’s the kindest thing about it: It’s not as disgusting as Leisure Suit Larry.
Kelsey
stray Quite possibly the most gingery protagonist imaginable: a cat. Not only is it all ginger, but like a cat, it moves cautiously through the world, with one eye always on the nearest escape route, never quite trusting its surroundings. We have to be careful here, as we’ve had a lot of trouble covering this race before, but rest assured, at least three of us at iGamesNews are true cat lovers and don’t share Siobhán Casey’s views.
“What’s the best game of all time?” you ask? Well, it’s essentially a 30-minute panel show where people (Jim Trinca and co) decide the best game in a particular category. That’s it. very good. listen to this.
