Race selection: the funny side

I recently read an article on eurogamer.net, describing the experience of starting to play LII. The description of the races was so funny! I added some explanations (using blue fonts) for english words that might not be common knowledge.

"..

Lineage II's racial menu is quintessentially (quintessentially = typical) Korean - that is, it sounds like standard-issue fantasy, but looks like a headlong (headlong = head first) crash between nineties American comics, Japanese manga, Louis XIV rococo religious art and a Norwegian Goth club.

You can be a Human floppy-fringed fop (fop = vain person), an Elf floppy-fringed (fringe = decorative border - do they mean the hair?!) fop, a Dark Elf dominatrix (i am not explaining that, i am sure you know) in a bustier (you know that too; and if you dont, imagine the top part of a *female* DE), a strangely handsome Orc with chiselled (chiselled = strongly defined) cheekbones and cornrows (cornrow is a hairstyle), or a Kamael, which is a kind of one-winged, fallen-angel Goth-tart (tart = mmm let's say a female with loose sexual morals)

Only the Dwarves look like you'd expect - apart from the females, who are pigtailed manga chicks.

It's worth quoting eurogamer's description for the game interface too - looool!

"..
a man with a deep voice and an educated American accent talks you through a tutorial as studiously non-threatening as an airline safety video. To be honest, there's not that much to explain. Click to talk. Click to move. Click to kill. Click to loot.

Oh it was worth reading, not for the actual article content, but for the author (Oli Welsh)'s style of writing.
