You sound cool.Lord Rothschild said:
I once met someone who acted a lot like that. He is now the one person I would murder with no remorse.
Think on that.
I've always wanted to, just out of curiosity...I probably would've on RuneScape, except I remembered just in time that Runescape looks like an N64 game and in that case I'd probably rather be a dude with a green beard.
On Duel Monsters Genesis (which has gone through a half-dozen renames recently) I'm going by the name Mahou Shojou Dr Cakey (Magical Girl Dr. Cakey) right now, just to screw with people's minds.

I usualy play as a male in most games because...im a guy but some games like resident evil ill play as jill or sheva but as for meeting real girls online i usualy find them annoying because they're "gamer girls" or there way to shy witch bug me because i really dont give a care weather you have male naughty bits or female because your both people.

Having created over a hundred bits of prefab dialogue for Left4Dead2, I've been mistaken as a bot often enough. I've been considering if I could pass as a girl, though I'd not claim to be so much as give implicative hints. The tricky part is that women are not literarily different than men, especially when communicating in short missives via chat.
I also hand out gear that I'm not immediately using like it was Christmas.[footnote]That's regardless of gender of the recipient. I tend to assume everyone playing is male (most are) and use pronouns in accordance to one's avatar / character / whatever. I've never had an online gaming relationship that has become one IRL, but I have a few standing hospitality invites in New Zealand. Go figure.[/footnote] That's because it is way too easy to hoard tons of crap which isn't worth the space unless you want a legacy weapon for your next character. Even then, I'd rather stuff be used now than later.
It breaks my heart, still, to read the reviews of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus from when she released the second edition (the first edition, she had published anonymously in a limited run), most of which are scathing criticism of her sex, not even addressing the story. And we're talking the beginnings of science fiction, here.
And yes, most female scientists got barely a notice for their work [http://xkcd.com/896/]. That is still in the process of changing.

My flatmate when she was training to be an illustrator (and later, a painter) was advised in college to sign her art with a first initial or under a male or ambiguous pseudonym because even today there this some of this.Korolev said:

Didn't Gearbox raise the level cap to 71? I never played to the level cap due to boredomDark Prophet said:
No, of course not. I've played female characters in single player games, but I wouldn't do that in an MMO. Of course I usually steer clear of MMOs, I'm only recently broken away from that to try Champions Online because it's now free.
I don't see the point in pretending to be female. A friend of mine has tried it and says it doesn't work, but I don't really play enough MMO games to bother trying things like this.
I've made my character female before, but I've always acted as myself never begged or anything, my character is high level anyway so they wouldn't give me anything for free anyway. 
Never on purpose. I was playing Earth and Beyond as a female character though, and some dude started offering me a bunch of free stuff. Unsuspecting, I accepted it, then he asked me to join his guild and leave the one I had been in behind, using the term "baby" in the process. I informed him I was quite satisfied and was, in fact, a dude, and he proceeded to curse up a storm about how I had cheated him out of his stuff and he wanted it all back.
Needless to say, I told him that he made the assumption I was female and I would be keeping his stuff. But yes, I can say it works. Apparently I had my game on that night.

I hate when people do that. I may have long hair, but I have a fucking beard! Girls are not generally flat chested with beards >.<
Nope, it's 69, was 58, after The Secret Armory of General Knoxx it was 61 and it was risen to 69 with an update and balance patch after that.neonsword13-ops said:
