I see some kind of contradiction here. You asked "GUYS if they had met GIRL gamers in real life" and yet some how "(a polite girl) answered my question in a private message." You weren't even asking the question of girls.ninjastovall0 said:
And I am gonna guess I am not such a polite girl for pointing this out along with the search bar overlook before.
Meh, I don't care.
Never considered Sims or Wow to be authentic gaming, perhaps you should have used the original mario and sonic games instead? ...or pacman?
Um...Yeah. This isn't really satire so much as...parody. And it's not as clever as you think it is.
I mean, this isn't as bad as the first guy ("authentic gamer"...seriously?) but really...This wasn't actually necessary in any way.

Wow. This is just. Wow.
I don't want to comment, because honestly. If everyone was an "authentic guy gamer" like OP wants, all of us who play games would be classified as what could charitably be "socially retarded man-children"

Bro, look a bit closer will you.eatenbyagrue said:
A lot of people don't seem to get the OP's point, which was to mock a dude that made a thread almost identical to this but about 'authentic girl gamers'.
This is satire, the main difference between this thread and the other one, in which the OP was serious about standards like these.
This, I agree with you completely person on the internet, the first guy was obviously asking a relatively simple question but he just phrased it a bit stupidlyFieryTrainwreck said:
Bwahahahaha! A+!
As an addendum, doesn't it seem like most guy gamers are just faking it to impress their girlfriends? It really seems like they're just smiling and nodding and have no clue what their girlfriends are talking about when they go on about the complex mechanics in WoW and the long history of adventure games when all those clueless boys really want to do is go back to their silly little shooty consoles? Hardy har har.

I saw that other thread and it pissed me off to no end. Surely "gamer" constitutes that you play SOME games? I mean, I play "in depth games" like he says, but I hate Halo (I think its a complete waste of time and doesn't do anything innovative or creative, as we've seen it all before), COD is just an excuse for guys to teabag each other (very mature behaviour)...but then I play Bayonetta, which is predominantly seen as a game for males, and it's one of my favourite games of all time.
So...his ridiculous criterias are...ridiculous. You don't have to know all about gaming history to be a gamer. I doubt that guy does. When information of gang history is volunteered without the conversation warranting it, I just think the speaker is an asshole. It reeks of showing off and a superiority complex when people go on about this stuff. But, of course, being a male, he's the only gender allowed the "gamer" title and he plays "real" games. "Real" games that...he has categorised as such? Yeah, I'm inclined to believe that he's either just trolling, or is extremely close-minded.
Well done, OP. i like it when people put sexist idiots in their place. Excellent thread.

HAH!
This thread is an awesome response. I'm sad the original thread got taken off though, it was very funny. A sexist/elitist person digging himself further and further into a hole through many pages unable to explain his points, the perfect example of the internet I'll say
To the original "ninja" guy, I know what you were getting at, but the way you worded your posts just came off in extremely poor taste, especially as it's ridiculous to divide games up like that and consider them "not real games".
There are two things I think of when I think of a "Hardcore Gamer".
1. A guy trying to finish Battletoads with one hand, while playing Ultima IV with his feet.
2. Some frat boy loudly paying out people who play Jrpg's while talking about how much he can bench press.
Both of those things are equally full of stupidity. So can everybody stop with this Casual vs. Hardcore nonsense? We're gamers. If you try to talk about who's authentic etc. it shows how much you've missed the point of gaming culture and it's history.
Good show OP.

This isn't really a good parody. I was actually looking forward to an intelligently written counter thread to sort of put the other one in it's place but I think you sort of rushed some parts and didn't really think out the whole post. Just saying it could have been a lot more clever.
OT: I know a lot of "authentic" guy gamers, I also know a couple "authentic" girl gamers, I don't know enough unfortunately, but there is a bunch of them. In fact, a quarter of my clan in Socom is composed of women, and they're good too, they're solid shooters, but they're also good teammates. I consider them all "authentic".
