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."

OK, here's one for the grammar nazis. "Nauseous" means, technically "capable of inducing nausea", not "experiencing nausea" which would be "nauseated".
I wouldn't mention this, other than in the hope it may discourage people from asking with Maggie is hot, or asking for picture links.
Post may contain irony: discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure.
Anybody who plays mmo's who hasn't seen this video, google for leeroy.wmv. It's one of the funniest things you will ever see.
I'll stick to what I learned in Kindergarten: Boys have penises and girls have vaginas. It's always worked for me.
