female mappers?

Resurrecting old threads is the new skateboarding.

I SHALL CRUSH THIS PHENOMENON!

There were aa couple female mappers at the old RUST forums. DangerGal
and Sara, and maybe one more. Leperous and Dietz probably would
remember them.

There is NO WAY you can stop me from reading ages old post and replying on theim! whahaha! I shall be victorious!

Omg, hahha, this is like being in the millitary :razz: No girls, guys only, and here we are, going on having very wet conversation!!

Yeah my girlfriend has some interesting opinions on the violence in games, she doesn't like it if I shank (bayonet) someone in DoD, but then I try to stop and it's "What're you doing? Keep going!" She comments on my maps and looks at them once in a while, but I have enough fun teaching her photoshop stuff. Maybe if her computer was good enough she'd have a run at HL or some mapping, but that'll be the day when I get my other computer and have all these in a LAN.

In social interaction, women are much better at reading body language and facial expression. Online communities feel less "real" to women than men because the lack of these signals is more noticeable to women.

So true - in my experience, men have a huge capacity to judge the 'tone' of a written sentence by what is said, the style of writing, and the timing. Women often don't get the same reaction out of the same thing.

I have to pull the old "I'm male. I will not understand you, no matter how smart I am, I cannot read all your emotions." sometimes and explain to my lady that if she wants to be fully understood she'll have to be pretty blatant with me. But if it's written I know what's going on.

I only really remember Navyfighter, the 'man' was a font of all HL knowledge it seemed.

The reason lil didn't fit in wasn't because she was a girl or because she made bad maps (don't know if she made any maps or how good anything she made actually was), but because where most people here are interested in mapping or modelling, she was more interested in getting lots of attention from certain same-age forum members than anything else, to the point where some threads ended up more like some kind of half-assed chatline that left most people saying 'get a room', or, more commonly 'go away with that crap, locks topic' :smile:

Nail. Head. Hit it. :smile:

I bet she'd be happy to know she STILL gets talked about around here though :smile:

Gah... wish I never got involved in the discussion now :smile:

There's 5 female employees at Raven now. 1 office manager, 1 artist, 1 sound artist, and two programmers. No designers, though... yet...

There are two females on my uni course, though neither seem overly interested in playing games too much.

My wife plays games :smile:

a fair percentage of [DRS] was female.

My woman just plays spider solitare, I'll slowly convert her to the ways... I'm sure she would like Unreal Tournament, it has goth player models lol.

You sick individual. Skeletor provided the slick and stylish shades and we recorded a conversation.

[EDIT] It's hilarious, A_S. [/EDIT]

I thought it might be something funny. Don't mean to offend you, but you're not really my type bud. :wink:
