Gamers Pay To Play With Girls

taucross writes "A new site allows lonely Xbox 360 gamers to pay a prescribed fee for a few minutes of game time with one of the 'PlayDates', a girl who is paid to play video games. Gamers can choose to have a 'flirty' or 'dirty' experience with one of the PlayDates. Is this what we meant when we said we wanted 'adult gaming'?"

    Might as well just hit on that female night elf instead. World of Warcraft is a better way to get chicks, so long as you got the gold and the purpz to impress the ladies.

    Back when I played WoW, we had one female member that kept dating and then dumping the dudes that got legendary items (like the Hand of Ragnaros).

  10. actually, let me be the nerdiest... by Moraelin · · Score: 5, Funny

    You know, it kinda reminds me of the joke about the programmer who finds a talking frog. The frog says, "Please, if you kiss me I'll turn back into a beautiful princess and I'll be your girlfriend and do whatever you wish." The programmer thinks for a bit, puts the frog in the pocket and says, "You know, I don't think I have the time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is way cool."

    Kinda the same reaction I'm getting here. I can't say I much care about the "date" part, or even if it's a girl or a guy, but if they're even marginally good at Star Trek Online, I could have some use fir someone to watch my back and have a chat with. Especially if they have a Science Ship, but I'm not fussy. A Cruiser is good too. Some of those battleships can hurt a lot if you're in a lone Escort, lemme tell ya ;)

      Sorta like that other joke:

      A nerd comes running up to his friend and says:
      "You'll never believe what happened to me yesterday. I was walking around when all the sudden this beautiful girl comes up to me riding this wicked bike. She throws down the bike, takes off all her clothes, and says 'Take whatever you want.'"
      "So I took the bike."
      His friend responds "Good choice. The clothes would have never fit you."

      Three Words:

      Jam Targeting Sensors.

      At 11km buff yourself to high heaven (tac team, atk alpha, hi yield torp, rapid fire), set throttle to max, and fire off your initial volley right as you get in weapons range. Then use Jam targetting sensors right away. NPCs usually seem to not move when you do that (even though it just prevents them from firing..must be an AI bug) so they will keep the same shield facing you, and you can often have them destroyed or at least on the brink of death by the time you get next to them, and you often have little more than a scratch on your forward shields.

      Now what was this story about again? I got distracted by something more interesting.
