This is purely a video game advice/guide article, *not* our normal character profile fare.
Yeah, I know. “Ugh, not a Schniarfer”. Everybody hates Schniarfers and schniarfing is gross.

Our main, Big Damn Huge Wonder Woman Profile. Tons of everything. Recommended reading.
As of July of 2017, this article was split into three part due to the aforementioned “big damn huge” factor. So that’s more convenient to read, and this allowed for various small improvements in passim.

The second “episode” of our extensive team profile for Marvel Comics’ New Warriors, so the articles remain (relatively !) short. Read the first profile first, of course (link within).

In between shooting space aliens, of course.
Another short-ish profile about a time-honoured, distinctive species of monsters in Dungeons & Dragons tabletop RPGs who appears in Baldur’s Gate. Have you hugged an ankheg today ?
