at the risk of getting flamed (yeah, like i give a s**t) those are console gamers.. not real gamers.

Ive never denied that girls play video games, I know a whole bunch that do in fact . But most of them game for the consoles (xbox, PS2, GameCube). In fact I havent come across a girl yet who doesnt at least know what Halo is.

You will hardly ever find female gamers on the PC, you know for games like Half Life 2, CSS (although i did coma acreoos a girl playing CSS...she had a great spray logo saying "haha you lost to me, that means you have a small [male-p-word]" on the background of a fat girl), WoW (which rases some questions because there are a lot of "female" night elves walking around), Far Cry, Doom 3, etc.....

edit: reminds me girls do play on the PC...they just play hearts and solitare on a computer that run Doom 3 at its highest settings

Yeah, I browsed through their profiles just now. No one played HL2 or even the original HL. A few of them played Quake and Rainbow Six though.

I don't think Quake was ever ported to the console. I could be wrong.

...and female mappers. Now, that's a species we'll never encounter.

i have met several. yeah, the total numbers is small compared to their male counterparts, but yeah, i have met several. in fact, wasn't there an entire clan of female mappers/fraggers?

on the other side of this, no one here is sure that we all are male.. the internet has peak anonymity. smiley

It's all a bit suss if you ask me...how come they're all rather pleasing to the eye? Not a hint of ugliness in sight! smiley

And there used to be a female mapper on the Frontline Force team called MaryB - though she kinda disappeared a while back.

TBH none...because if they need to make a web site to prove that they are gamers then they have some issues, that could put strains on a relationship, like If one of them was my girlfriend id think that we'd be argueing half the time over whos the better player smiley

Yeah, I guess playing a DM game with your GF isn't a good idea.

Quake 2 was to PS (perhaps other consoles too). Dunno about the first game though.

Quake made an appearance on the N64 actually...sadly. I think they were clutching at straws to find any FPS they could easily port after the success of Goldeneye smiley

I've come across a few female mappers - there are a couple of really good female UT mappers who put out some of the more popular custom maps, and we've had a similar discussion about female HL mappers and turned up at least a couple. When it comes to female FPS gamers, I've seen dozens. My flatmates seem to find themselves partying a lot with female players in WoW as well, though I guess its kinda easy to "play female" if you are so inclined. Then we get to the Advent Children forums, which are dedicated to the upcoming film sequel to FFVII. Well to be perfectly honest, I'd wager the MAJORITY of its users are female, the place is overwhelmed by them (and mostly run by them too).

Girls arn't gamers, and these pricks arn't anything.

They are just stroking their ego and trying to get into modeling or some dumb s**t like that.

These girls are crushing what little legitimate game industry is left. There is a reson that gameing is having a hard time being accepted as a main stream form of art, and s**t like this is it. People who cant make something good just tag on some boobs and sex to sell more copies of a s**tty game.

I could rant all night about this...

maybe I'll write them an e-mail.

I don't think you can say they aren't gamers - I just had a quick read of a couple of the blogs, and I saw a fair few references that people who didn't play games wouldn't be able to make. For example, while talking about RE4, one of them references a really unimportant RE3 'puzzle' by saying "But you know, it sucks I haven't seen Carlos in this one. That guy can move some heavy bells that us girls just don't have the strength to move (haha)". Have a read of one or two entries. Would you still say they don't play games, or is that not what makes you a gamer?

Perhaps you are annoyed because they write about playing games in a blog? Well it might not be quite as funny as Penny Arcade or Ctrl-Alt-Del, but its still along the same lines as those hugely popular sites. I see you also write your own blog, so surely its not the "blogging" itself that pisses you off...unless only guys are allowed to do it that is smiley

Even if they are doing the site because they want to get into modelling, I don't really see whats "wrong" about that. Apparently they already do go to conventions - one of the entries I read talked about showcasing "Brothers in Arms" at some ATI event. Is it not better that the "eye candy" that always accompanies such events are actual gamers with an interest in the subject matter?

Perhaps DrGlass is upset because these nerds are actually good-looking? I don't know. I actually dig pretty nerds.

In fact, I applaud them for putting up such a website. And they didn't do it just to get modeling exposure. It's much easier to do that without going through the trouble of learning how to play games well.

you guys are right, but it just seems to me that they are using their sexuality to gain popularity. Not that its so wrong to do that, but the game industry is so over saturated with smut and sex, why should these girls who game be any diffrent than some other joe who games?

I mean they say one the front page, 43% of the gamers are girls. So whats special about them? Good looks...

I guess at some level I'm jelouse, but I always hate when girls get special 'perks' when they are gamers. Like in those MMORPGs females always get free stuff becuase us males are losers (some of us anyways).

Penny arcade uses talent to be popular, these chicks use boobs and sex to get ahead. While there isn't really anything wrong with it, I dont want to give them the time of day becuase if they were guys... that site woudn't get any hits.

If this were a mecca for girl gamers, where girl gamers got together like us dudes do... then that would be a diffrent story, while other girl gamers gravitate to the site (it seems) its just a meat show in the end, at least thats how I see it.

With rare exceptions, gaming will always be a male thing. It's coded in our genes, and shooter games like HL2 and Far Cry will never be very popular among the female population. I don't care what people say or disagree, I just know it's true.

That's why girl gamers are valued. Not because they're good or anything, but simply because they're rare. It works like diamonds. Diamonds are just carbon, but they're overvalued and over-priced simply because they're rare. There is nothing inherently special about diamonds. They're not even particularly pretty or interesting compared to other gem stones (i.e. opal, sapphire).

For the same reason, a guy would be pretty popular at a yoga class or a knitting school, even if he's relatively ugly. It all comes down to supply and demand. smiley

Quite a pro looking site, I couldn't figure out at first how a bunch of gaming gal's could afford to have such a site designed, since they'd need illustrators and the whole shebang. But then I noticed that wonderful little logo at the bottom of the page. Good old Ubisoft, trying so hard to conquer the female market.

Personally I think its great when girls play games, as its a social event that both sexes can enjoy. I've got a few female friends from uni who play games, one of them is an X-Box addict. It is a good point though to note that most play consoles over PC's, probably cause the former seems to have a seriously reduced "nerd" factor. I don't know why thats the case though, I mean, I wouldn't consider us to be a bunch'o'nerds smiley.
