Girls Got Game

Posted by Zonk on from the new-research-data! dept.

Via Joystiq, a story on the ABC News site discussing the (gasp) rising interest in games within the fairer sex. From the article: "I think it's easy to kind of stereotype that women don't want to shoot or that women don't want to do sports or that women don't want fast-paced action...I don't think that's true. I think that was part of the reason the industry wasn't speaking to women before." As Mr. Zackheim comments, I believe it more to be a lack of interest/effort on the gaming publisher's part that has resulted in the current player demographic profile.

    First off, shut the fuck up.

    Second, have you tasted any poon besides your wife's? I'm curious. I believe that you may be a fucking douche that had to marry the first pussy he could get because you were quite certain in your knowledge that you could never land any more.

    Oh, one more question - have you ever had a dick in your mouth? Because you seem like a fairy based on your posting history and I would expect that you have swallowed some jizz in your life.

    Like all things, men are better at gaming than women. Maybe we need Women's Gaming, like Women's Tennis and Women's Boxing, etc. It's kinda unfair expecting women to be able to compete with men, so they might fare better with their own servers and such.
