Gamers Pay To Play With Girls

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 23, 2010 @05:00AM from the this-could-get-expensive-fast dept.

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'?"

May I be the first to say... by jawtheshark · 2010-03-23 05:01 · Score: 5, Insightful

May I be the first to say... WTF?!?
No seriously? WTF?!?
What's the point? It just exploits the hope of those guys to get a real date, without the actual hope of getting a real one.. Wait, scratch that... It will probably be hugely popular... *sigh*.
Do the girls get paid to do it, just like camgirls? Ah, yes, it's right there in the article... Well, guess there is more dignity in doing that than undressing yourself before a cam. Perhaps they can combine it and make even more money: for each time you frag her, she has to remove one piece of clothing.... /ME runs to patent the idea ;-)

  I read this line and stopped to almost puke. There was a pause of about 30 seconds before i read your second line and realised you were talking about the great grand-parent POST. Imagine my relief.

  I'm a girl, I game, and if I needed the money, sure - why wouldn't I make a few bucks flirting with some random yahoo while playing an FPS?
  Because you live in a society where people who sell their soul for money get to look down on people who sell their bodies for money. I'm not entirely sure how we ended up like this either...

actually, let me be the nerdiest... by Moraelin · 2010-03-23 05:13 · 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."

While that wouldn't bother me since I'm bi, there was a very public discussion at PAX in Seattle last year of what female 'teabaggers' should be called, lacking 'bags'. Clam slam is my favorite.

And we all know that girls really only come in two varieties. Dirty or Flirty... sigh... as a father of many daughters, this just pisses me off... then again, videogame females have always been little more than balloon animals...
Yeah, no kidding, plus it leaves out more important aspects. I mean, who cares if she's dirty or flirty, the question is: can she keep aggro and what tier of epic gear does she have? :P
