Wow, only out for a few days, and already there's a relevant discussion to link Daniel Floyd's new video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8ZVZRsy8N8&feature=channel] to.

I like it when you find a really good girl gamer.
Some guys can't take being outplayed by girls, to which I remind those guys EVERY time a girl beats them :p
I'm lucky enough to not have any girl gamers as friends that could get a real kill in any given game, much less beat me.

My friend's ex once tried COD 4 and never once touched the right stick. Guess which way her K-D ratio swung?
TO THE LEFT! She must be amazing if she didn't touch her right stick ONCE! Thats awesome! I mean... DAMN!
She's slightly better than my little brother.
Your little brothers obviously Li'l Poison, and that kid is badass at every videogame. She must be amazing!

My goal is to become an extreme gamer and get paid for it. Hmm...the Game Informer offices are only a 20 minute drive away...

Well, that's not really that important, since as gaming become mainstream more and more layers of the populations will obviously become gamers, until its use becomes more or less homogenous by the time it's not considered a novelty any more. Also, why can't I find any of those gamer girls, I mean, seriously.

I have only seen one in my local wallmart. I thought they didn't exist in my town. I seen some in the city.

I've probably played games for 5 1/2 hours on some days but every day really is extreme. No wonder I never meet any girl gamers, they're obviously more hardcore than I thought.

Girls are playing games oh noes!

If there was something in the female gene stopping them from playing games, and some where then I would be interested. As it is I don't really care. It's good they're playing. I'm just dreading that small minority of girl gamers who will still go 'Yes, I know how shocking this is...a GIRL playing a game! but it's ok, i'm only a GIRL (please gift me attention and come onto me I don't get much attention anywhere else)

I have a hunch that thinking 39 hours a week is a lot makes me weird ._.

hmm. 39? try 70.

That leaves about enough time to sleep, eat, and do some very limited other stuff, like maybe... Shopping.
Or cleaning... Or not.

OMG girls play GAMES?!?! NO WAI!! Certainly they must all be fat and/or terrible players!
...:p
Yeah it's nice that there are increasing numbers of female gamers out there...but it seems silly that it's such a big deal. There have always been girl geeks in existence...we just previously were the sort you find at star trek conventions or in the fantasy section of a bookstore. Games to me are the ultimate creative experience - it hardly seems surprising that I not only enjoy playing them...but found work in the field.

Oh and guys, if you want a gamer girlfriend...take them seriously when you find them.
(yes, I'm taken. We found each other in the Barrens of Azeroth two and a half years ago)
