- zephyear, on 05/12/2008, -12/+102who the ***** cares
it's nice if a girl shares interests with you but this whole obsession over "girl gamers" is retarded
and chances are the people who obsess over girl gamers aren't going to be ***** them any time soon - Coldfire24, on 05/12/2008, -11/+97I'm on the rise for girl gamers. Ahhhhhh? See what I did there?
- MalkyMalc, on 05/12/2008, -3/+81Before this comments page gets full of sexist jokes, let me just speak up for all the guys who think this is great, and who hope to continue this trend by:
1. Not propositioning every girl we play against in Halo.
2. Not asking for bigger boobs in the next Tomb Raider game.
3. Actually letting our girlfriends/wives/sisters have a shot on the computer once in a while. - mediaspree, on 05/12/2008, -11/+73My girlfriend loves to play with my wii
- fakekevinrose, on 05/12/2008, -17/+69girl gamers are huge attention whores
- ElectricC0wb0y, on 05/12/2008, -3/+46Maybe I'll finally be able to get laid Friday nights after the LAN party.
- Mullinator, on 05/12/2008, -3/+44If the population of girl gamers is rising despite being 'ignored' by the industry is it really a sign that anything should be done differently?
- Varz, on 05/12/2008, -7/+56There are a lot more women playing TF2 than any other shooter I've played.
Makes the game even better :D - Langolas, on 05/12/2008, -3/+35your girlfriend loves to play my wii too
- roxics, on 05/12/2008, -8/+44Girls are good for more then just *****. At some point guys will realize this.
- justice7, on 05/12/2008, -4/+35yeah so you can hear the other nerds on the game all trying to flirt with her "ZOMG A GIRL GET HER!" .. and getting all offensive on ANYONE who shows them any disrespect or trash talking in game.
- ohhoe, on 05/12/2008, -2/+29It must be hard for the girls of the world to live up to your classy hooters girl standards. Man, the ladies must swoon when you call them dimes when they're bringing you your sub par wings.
Sorry some of us actually have brains to go along with our sweet racks. - surfacewound, on 05/12/2008, -1/+25Really? Crap, mine is defective. :(
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -2/+30dimes?
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -3/+28Poorly written article.
- BeforeSputnik, on 05/12/2008, -4/+28I would like a list, please.
- Aiwanei, on 05/12/2008, -1/+23OMG a girl on the intarwebz!!!
- meruru, on 05/12/2008, -0/+21No one is being ignored. A good game is a good game. I hate this idea that unless publishers make games like Barbie's Horse Adventure and put it in a pink box they are ignoring female gamers.
- davidsmero, on 05/12/2008, -2/+23I dated a girl gamer once....then i woke up.
- hongkongjapie, on 05/12/2008, -4/+34erm, isn't that what the Wii (and DS) are trying to accomplish? Wii Sports, Cooking Mama, Wii Fit, ... Somehow that's worth about one line in the whole article (although the babe used as picture is even playing the Wii). I agree there's lots of space for improvement, but giving that the most sold console of this generation is especially targeting a broader audience, including girls, could have been given a little bit more attention.
- S4MF1SHER, on 05/12/2008, -3/+25How many more "girl gamer" stories do we need? There are girls who play games, great. There are many that don't. This is so frickin lame. Unless you're a marketing exec I don't see why any gamer would give a ***** about girls playing more games. The more the merrier on any platform, no matter what your sex is.
- NotOptium, on 05/12/2008, -3/+25They can cook too!
- barf314, on 05/12/2008, -0/+20The only place in the world were you wont get slapped for calling a girl a 'Heavy'.
- xtinamo, on 05/12/2008, -0/+18Just because there aren't games geared towards stereotypical female interests doesn't mean we're being 'ignored'.
- BeforeSputnik, on 05/12/2008, -1/+17a ten.
- subfusc, on 05/12/2008, -7/+23Giggity
- Scotty87, on 05/12/2008, -6/+24Yay! I'm one of the lucky ones.... Love my Gaming GF :)
- sexybobo, on 05/12/2008, -2/+22Maybe if you shared common interests you won't get sick of each other or the relation ship will last a lot longer.
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -2/+16I would like to one day Marry a hot girl that also likes to play video games. I would also like to win the lottery too. and see Bush Neocons be loved by the Middle East and help the world achieve world peace...
- fantasyflamz, on 05/12/2008, -0/+15I mean, what I would prefer in games is not for them to change but to have these two things
1. Have more females as main characters to play or be able to edit/modify to make a female character (like in oblivion or wow, etc)
2. Have more normal looking females with realistic clothes on (like Alyx in HL2) b/c it doesn't make sense for a woman to be a warrior and have nothing being covered by armor, unlike the hulking male next to her covered with armor. I mean, us women don't really want to play as a female character with disproportionate breasts and everything showing, bc I'd rather just play than focus on her boobs jiggling. - ell0bo, on 05/12/2008, -4/+19welcome to the 21st century, no they can't
- apetrie, on 05/12/2008, -0/+14No, it shouldn't. Women don't need games for girls, they just need to be left alone to be interested or not. People need to stop pushing the idea that only males play games, and it would help if the guys who work at stores that sell games didn't gawk at the women like they are alien and/or talk to them as if they have no clue.
- hellsing47, on 05/12/2008, -1/+15They should rename Cloverfield to Cleverfield and put you in it
- roxics, on 05/12/2008, -1/+15Good point. I mean, do girls really want to be playing cooking games and stuff? At some point catering to a specific gender can be considered sexist itself.
- sagat, on 05/12/2008, -6/+21Girl Gamers Are On The Rise..........but they still wont be so impressed by your awesome WOW character as to sleep with you over the douchebag with the proper job, abs, social life, sense of style, nice car and who doesn't live with his parents.
- ell0bo, on 05/12/2008, -0/+13I try not to proposition every girl i meet playing halo, because sometimes you can get a little confused and it's tough explaining what you meant to one of those prepubescent boys.
- AL7AIR, on 05/12/2008, -0/+14I've been chainsawed in Gears and sniped in CoD4 by some very capable girl gamers ... just because the game isn't featuring some cute characters and is all happy themed doesn't mean you won't hear a female voice over the headset (and yes I mean female not 14 year old boy trash talking)
- apetrie, on 05/12/2008, -1/+18Why the hell should a girl play barbies adventure island or any crap like that if its not what they are into? I sincerely hope that if you are ever lucky enough to have a girl who loves games or has other geeky interests, that she leaves you quick for someone who would appreciate her.
- saraequalswin, on 05/12/2008, -3/+17Of the dozen or so girls I know who play video games (myself included), ONE of them is fat. I think you might be confusing gamers girls with anime girls.........
- Jwoey, on 05/12/2008, -1/+13and the jokes are recycled.
- Aeomyr, on 05/12/2008, -2/+14Catering, I see what you did there
- sexybobo, on 05/12/2008, -4/+17Ah the internet where the Men are Men the Women are Men and the Children are FBI agents.
- burketo, on 05/12/2008, -1/+14"More than 40% of game players in Australia are female, yet most games on the store shelves are of little interest to them."
that remark is retarded..... - DarKnight90, on 05/12/2008, -4/+15You want a medal or something?
- meruru, on 05/12/2008, -0/+11flap? Perhaps the game industry should stop ignoring bird gamers such as yourself as well
- spidl, on 05/12/2008, -0/+12Box in your weight class have you seen the size of the average guy gamer?
- skywake, on 05/12/2008, -2/+13Some of them are girls..... some are actually 12 year olds....
- ohhoe, on 05/12/2008, -0/+10"Why aren't more games being made for them?"
Whaaaaat? Excuse me? What the hell do they think I want, a game where I can take some 3d model of a hooker and transform her into a 50s housewife via salons and spas?
***** that I'd rather just blow ***** up like the rest of the majority of the gaming population, thank you very much. Give me gta and cod4 over cooking mama any day.
Next womens suffrage movement : take us seriously as gamers... ftw. - ripple123, on 05/12/2008, -0/+10You fail at fapping...
