Rarely, on occasion, but I don't know any of them. It all happens by chance, and they are on the TF2 server.
Therefore, I don't think I can say I play with them--just I play and they happen to be there, much like other people.

I use to play games weekly with my cousin before her all consuming obsessive relationship got to the point where she refuses to talk to family anymore. Every since I got my PC running I've been playing TF2 with a group of friends I met online regularly and one of them is female. The only noticeable difference is that women rather everyone get along while men are more likely to call each other noobs.

My girlfriend and I play co-op platformers and adventure games together; Rayman Origins is awesome. My sister used to play Worms games and Age of Empires with my father and me.

So, yeah.

Other than the occasional bit of SSBB with my sister, not really. I played twice with girls other than that. Once was in america and I rinsed her at COD. The other I played a wee bit of L4D with one of my friend's friends but it was kind of let down by the awful awful lag we had.

I do know a girl fairly well from uni who games regularly but I have yet to ask her to join a TF2 sesh with my mates. Probably will next year though.

When my sister and I were little, I forced her to play Diablo 2. She ended up playing it a lot more heavily than I did. A couple years ago I insisted that she play Left 4 dead. After 4 hours, she had all of the campaigns beaten, and I made an Xbox Live account for her. She spent another couple hours kicking ass in Versus, and getting pissed off at her terrible teammates... I felt like I unleashed a vicious dog on the neighbour kids.

Left 4 Dead became one of her favourite things to talk about at school, and she would come home with the gamertags of guys she had classes with. I remember laughing like a mad man as she kicked the crap out of all of them. It wasn't long before they all refused to be on the opposite team.

Another thing I noticed was that her friend list was filling up with women. It turned out that a large chunk of the gaming community was female, but the vast majority of them just don't participate in voice-chat. My sister would always be talking to the other players, and that would encourage the other girls to speak up. I never did ask if guys harrassed her with those stupid "are you hot?" questions.

No. I don't play multiplayer.


I used to play MMO's, but those are so massive (pun intended) that I don't think it "counts" in this case.

I regularly tabletop roleplay with girls on a thursday, and got my sister into gaming. Before the gang comes round for exalted or dark heresy, I fire up the X-Box and play some portal co-op as a family bonding exercise.

What are these girls? Tease tease tease. Any way I rarely play with my "friends" let alone with the opposite sex. It's best to have me around in small doses.

Bad Jim said:
Nope, largely because I'm an unsociable tosser like Yahtzee and hardly ever play multiplayer games. And I'm even worse with women so it's highly unlikely to happen.
Pretty much on par with ol' Jim here, I can't help but feel the reason I don't have any female gaming friends is because they're doing what I'm doing. Staying inside playing video games.

Quite frequently, I guess its just down to the circle of people I hang out with. The girlfriend is a big gamer too, I've never really seen it as that big a deal.

I know a couple of female friends who play video games, but I don't play with them, and I'm not sure if they're really hardcore (although Minecraft is normally hardcore).

I've played with my girlfriend, if that counts. We played Mario Kart when we had a Wii, and we completed Littlebig Planet 2 recently. She has also played Skyrim, but that's singleplayer, so..
Anyway, I wouldn't consider it better or lucky to play with girls, they're just people too. I'd rather have a useful teammate than specifically a girl, I value cooperativeness, friendliness and skill, no matter the gender. Also I don't ask or use a mic very often, so I'm not actively looking.
