Aren't boobs required to be a "proper gamer"? I think your problem may not be the boobs, but your failure to grow a scraggly beard to go with them.Lieju said:

I thought that in order to be considered a gamer you just had to... y'know... like playing video games?xPixelatedx said:

Tell me about it, facepalms galore and all that >.>He has a whole show where he put on an act of satire based off people who are very "right" politically. I don't really see how a regular viewer could not tell that he isn't serious, but someone in the Bush administration, in 2006 I think, though his persona was real, and they had him come over to speak at one of their conventions.
It was a very funny affair.
My main problem is that I simply haven't seen anything like what he talks int he video actually happen. Giving the benefit of doubt, this is either a geographical thing and much more prevalent elsewhere, or he's just plain fucking wrong. Still, I'm totally willing to believe it's a geographical thing.
Maybe because Slovenia, or the Balkans specifically still lives in the past. You're still an outcast if you're a gamer around here. No matter what your gender is. No matter what your job is. I mean what the fuck is wrong with you, you should be out there either making mad money or fucking everything that moves (or making mad money so you can throw it around so that everything that moves will want to fuck you). That's still the mentality here.
It's not just you. Here in the U.S. we still sadly have a LOT of people like that. xD Hell, that one spokesman for the NRA tried to blame video games for all our gun violence.As for people complaining about fake geek girls? Just take a look at the pages in this video's thread. You'll see at least a few. And if a feel like ya need more, you can always look up the stuff on Youtube(if you don't mind listing to a serious version of what Jim just did).

bit of a corrections though - she was a gaming editor on a techsite, so not exactly as I described her.
I think I can clear up a misconception you have. Sex sells to everyone fairly equally and women can be manipulated by it as much as men. Duke University put out a study recently that you can find with a quick Google search, but you could also just look at a few trends. Take a quick peek at Amazon's top 100 bestsellers on kindle for today(or any day really.) On a personal note, my grandmother, mother, my friend Tim and I all went to see Troy in theaters just because we heard Brad Pitt's luscious bum would be on screen in all it's glory. (Worth the $40.)Therumancer said:Awesome special FX Jim.

Gaming conventions are predominantly attended by heterosexual males. Therefore having a beautiful woman sell something works really well. But the same is true for a gorgeous guy at say, a 50 Shades con.
As for the "touring questions," I find them to be a catch 22. I shouldn't have to prove myself in the first place...but if someone wants to ask me a question, shouldn't it be because they are interested in what I have to say? I find it immensely amusing when a person accuses me of feigning interest in gaming and then tries to prove that by...feigning interest in my opinions about games.
OT: I laughed the whole way through the video. Where do they sell those belt buckles? Going to buy a few for gifts; that way I have an excuse to look down
The issue with Jonathan Holmes, star of the hit program "Soda Baby" is that he seems to want to bring up video games at the most inappropriate times just to try to show off. It's like, you're listening to a wonderful bout of life advice or some brilliant plan for a film and he just HAS to bring up video games because he runs around playing them in a tight shirt. It's just obnoxious and offends me personally.Andy Shandy said:
I really don't get the whole "we're all gamers, everyone hold hands and sing" mentality. This isn't a Dr. Seuss book, it seems like we should be allowed to make distinctions between people who clearly have different interests from one another, it's not a bad thing. It just seems like the person who actually enjoys the medium, blogs about it and/or (at least) goes to the escapist to talk about it is a much different person then the individual who only plays Angry Birds on their phone to pass time in waiting rooms, or the guy who only plays the newest CoD because "Fuck yur Amurrrrrica" is going through his head 24/7. It just seems like the term "gamer" should denote some sort of genuine interest in games? It's not like it's hard, or this is an exclusive club or something. It's something everyone is fully capable of doing and being part of, they just choose not to.thebakedpotato said:
Gamers are outcasts, or were, they built an enclaveSonicWaffle said:
Now Cute Girl comes along, I mean does her her, lipstick absolute pinnacle of trendy cute.
This is Not An OutCast, what the hell is she doing here and why?
Its the same thing as Samus Aran a player avatar getting all this attention because she's a female with a gun while simultaneous we have this thing about gamers misrepresenting strong independent women.
Not only is she not an Outcast but she can leave at any time. Maybe she's just looking good AND nerdy. So you ask just to be safe/sure.
Only this keeps happening And there have been big women in fandom for YEARS. Its insulting and prejudiced.
I could do all that... Or I could... Ya know... Play video games. Something that I enjoy doing.xPixelatedx said:
Personally, I think if you give the performance of a lfetime that he gave in V For Vendetta 2: D For Deep Dicking, you're allowed to talk a tiny little bit about video games, every now and again.itsausernamewhatofit said:
I mean, this poster is beautiful but it doesn't convey even an iota of the sort of performance that they man who would be Freaky Constantina gave.
The trailer only helps a little more
Jim has trancended your puny concepts of "gender norms" and has become a god of sensuality.Jandau said:
