Once upon a time, models used to dress up as Lara Croft. You probably remember that. And you might also recall a
GamePro magazine contest where a winner won a date with one of those models. Only the two of themāand a bunch of PR/marketing folks, probablyāknow what happened on their date. Until now.

A Night In the Woods. As he told it on Twitter last night, Benson got a copy of the December 1999 issue of GamePro in the mail from a friend and happened on a blurb that talked about the contest winnerās date. But those scant few lines couldnāt have captured the bizarre reality of a teenager going out to lunch with the woman paid to dress up as the Tomb Raider heroine. So Benson set to filling in the blanks:
I particularly like the changing accents gag. Well-done, luv.
