Girls In The Game Chair

The site The Game Chair, which does interesting experiential reviews of game titles, has up an editorial from new reviewer Maggie. She once again brings up the oft-discussed topic of women in gaming, and tries to throw some new light on the subject. From the article: "I always bristle a bit at the idea of creating a game that 'appeals to women.' After all, no one game appeals to all people - so why in the world would one game appeal to all women gamers? Each of us is looking for different things in a game, regardless of sex. I don't play first person shooters because the movement of the camera makes me feel nauseous - not because I'm a girl."

    You beat me to it.

    I generally correct people (irritating ass that I am) by saying, "You probably mean NAUSEATED. If you feel NAUSEOUS, you're making ME sick."

    Sticks pretty well.

    I'll stick to what I learned in Kindergarten: Boys have penises and girls have vaginas. It's always worked for me.
