Women in Gaming White Papers

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday October 20, 2004 @06:45AM from the not-just-swedish-chix dept.

Many thanks to GameJournalism.com for the heads up on two white papers put out last month by the Women in Gaming Special Interest Group. The two papers (both excellent reads) are Chicks with Joysticks: An exploration of women in Gaming, and Why are there so few Women in Games? In a related topic, TerraNova has a piece on the Women 's Game Conference and MMOGs.

In related news, my 12-year-old offer to marry
the first woman to regularly defeat me at
StreetFighter regardless of age, race, or looks,
goes entirely unanswered.

I think I was born 5 years or so too late;
I've seen a few teenage girls who contend
in Soul Calibur...

I gotta move to California where they have more asians...
