The couple walking down the street holding hands. The girl showing off her engagement ring. The teenage boy with the "bikini inspector" shirt. The photograph of the wife and kids on some guy's desk at work. And countless other things.
Surely you meant to say the straight couple? Or should the rest of us assume that a "couple" implies 2 straight people? Gay girls can't get engaged? Or even wear rings symbolizing their commitment? Teenage boy? Oh, come on. He might just be gay and in denial. Which way is that photo facing? Towards the man so he can see it or out toward his co-workers?
Now, as far as why girl gamers deserve "special attention"? Right now, I think a little extra attention is good for gamers in general. It will educate some of the guys a bit to realize we're out there, and that the one they run across isn't a fluke.
The second sentence doesn't fit with the first and third.
It's exactly that, but not quite for the reasons you cite.
"Look at me! I'm gay! You must respect me! You must accept me!" "Look at me! I'm a gamer girl! Take me seriously! I'm not a girly girl!"
It's all pretty much the same thing. People don't go around flaunting their straightness, much like guys in game don't go around flaunting their maleness (not to be confused with macho men/pricks).
Some people will care if you're gay. In which case it doesn't help any to be in their face about it. Some won't. In which case they're wondering why you need to make a big deal about it and why you think it's so special. Likewise for being a girl gamer. If someone has something against that, advertising it only antagonizes them. If they don't, they'll wonder why you think you deserve special attention for it and resent you for thinking you deserve any.
Regardless of whatever it officially stands for, you can't seriously tell me that when you thought the clan up, it didn't occur to you that PMS already had a meaning.
And no, it's not easy to think up something better. For starters, it depends on what's suitable for a clantag.
Are you limited to 3 or 4 letters? (GRLZ) Can the reference be subtle? (Gamers In Real Life) Presumptuous? (Goddesses of Game) Edgy? (Motherfraggers)
I'm entirely serious about this. We don't have the girly-girls who scream whenever they get shot and we don't have women who complain that their hair is being mussed up by the Xbox headset.
You're supposed to be a serious clan? That why'd you name yourself over the subject of so much joking? Isn't the quintessential male dismissal of an upset female simply blaming it on PMS?
If you learn how to skin and work leather, you're not allowed to fish or sew.
You might want to try knowing something about the game first. Anyone can learn to fish, no matter what their professions are. And level 20 is hardly a measure of the entire game. Most classes are just starting to become unique, and almost every instance is intended for 20+. You also might try visiting Ironforge and learning about the auction house.
If you didn't write your link, pass it on to whoever did.
There's more to it than that. I have no firewall whatsoever - software, hardware, or sheet of metal - and it's noticeably slower than most other well-peered torrents using other clients. My personal belief is that they cap your download, even if there's more bandwidth to go around, so that it more closely matches your upload.
I thought the only known method of making an EMP was from a nuke? Tell him if the city's nuked and the business is vaporized you don't want a competitor to get the backup tapes; it's all part of the plan.

[i]I want to make it clear I'm a girl so that guys can be aware that we do play.[/i]
WE DON'T CARE. Just play the damned game.
No, you have a clan called PMS. So it doesn't surprise me you struggle to be taken seriously.
All right, fine. I'm a Mac user, and I will tell you that Mac IE is something from 2001. Stop supporting it. Now.
Oh, I get it. You follow the rules until you don't want to, right?
With all the anti-censorship sentiment on slashdot, it was kinda implied. Either way, I think that's an overly broad definition.
I thought there was a law for that? Which is why theatres actually care now?
So just to be clear, you're pro-child porn, right?
Arachnic Park!
Eh, I don't think Blizzard is quite familiar with the slashdot crowd.
Interesting story. Can you cite anything to back this up?

The article said there were two points of failure. Whether in a single levee or double it didn't say.
Ah, the button that was not on my screen because my browser window is less than what they assumed!
Gotta love bad web design.
Where's the rest of the article?
Do you think that IE-using 80% cares about this feature? Probably not. If they did, they'd get Firefox.
I thought the point of deleting cookies was to screw up marketing and people leaving pieces of themselves on your computer that you don't want?
Except maybe a working client.
So, if there are no separate servers, what do you get when everyone on the server is in one place? A screenshot of 50 people?
When you bastard make a Mac version, maybe I'll try it. Until then, you aren't the same people who left Blizzard.
That was the good doctor, McCoy.
