"Girls Gamers?!"

Aside from 'The Notables', do Girls have what it takes to be gamers?!

I don't think so. They don't have that spirit in them; like the gaming, friendly, footbally spirit that most lads have.

I'm not talking about the English Hooligans in Belgium or whatever because if you loved football how could you do that to the sport?!

I'm talking about passion and drive! Lads are great mates and they rarely fall out for more than 5 minutes when they're sober.

Boys bond quite well when they're gaming, they can show their friendship through co-op mode and go head to head with one another to show off their machismo and determine who's 'better'.

And girls? They only argue with each other over whether 'the Space Channel 5 bird' should be wearing #573 Rose Pink Nail Varnish or #259 Silk Pink Nail Varnish. * And whether 'the girl' in Shenmue should have her hair in a plait or in a bun. **

I mean even Nintendo must agree.... well have you ever heard of a GameGirl?!

Girls just don't know how to have fun with gaming, the fashion tips fly out, they break nails, their eyes are so untrained, the only controller experience they get is when they snatch the remote off everyone else and demand to watch Eastenders or Survivor!


They even thrust the control about all over the place in a pathetic attempt to make the character jump further, run faster or hit harder!

Girls just can't cut it when it comes to gaming!

They ain't gotta clue!

I think we're all agreed here, No?

Game



* - Thanks to Sheepy for telling me the numbers and colours of the Nail Varnishes.

** - Thanks to FM for spending about 50 minutes telling me how he does his sisters hair every morning.

well I though survivor wasn't very good. But apart from that you are ok - but you have to agree the majority of girls are not good at games and do not have a passion for them.

I watched survivor,


*hides his face with shame*

apperson, I must admit Survivor was funny but doing my nails? Pur-lease, give me a break. As I said earlier, I have better things to do!

no

Its what you all expect isnt it? Im just trying to conform to your stereotyped expectations of me at the moment so your poor brain can cope with just one thing at a time.

ahh well it's a girl so you are admitting to watching survivior and doing your nails then?

Then why bark like dog?

I suspect a hoax.

this is in response to games perception of girl gamers. the only reason i signed up today is to tell you that you are very wrong. gaming is a very big part of my average day, i happen to own a pS2, an n64, a game boy, a game boy advance, a pc and a playstation and no, they're not my brothers! i don't worry about my nails and can't stand eastenders, i have much more important things to do such as thrashing my friends in dead or alive 2 or admiring those cute little monkeys (no, not you!) in escape from monkey island. yes, pathetic little girls who like to pretend they know what they're doing when i hand them a control pad get on my nerves too just don't label all of us like that! rant, rave, rant, rave. get the message?

goatboy - i'm not a minger!

Yes yes Simian, come long now. Time for your shave. :D
