I went to the movie theater to go see a special mindight showing of "The Goonies" 2 weeks ago on the big screen, and as I entered with my gang of friends the girls takeing the tickets (super goth, super cool) were talking about blood rayne, the one said "Uwe Boll directed it, it sucks, I don't care what it's about" I started laughing so hard, she pointed at me and said "see, she agrees with me!"
Damn those Germans and their tax loop hole, thank God they fixed it.
So let's say we are classifying planets according to their ability to support humans. Let's just say Earth is class, oh, M. Is this planet class M? Certainly not! No human could survive in -220 Celsius! Far from being like earth. Ok I'm done being uber trekie:)
To Quote Morgen Webb of X-Play "When Men's flowing hair mechanics are just as important as breast jiggle mechanics in video games, then, and only then, will we have achieved equality!"
did you promptly beat the living shit out of them?! I hate girls like that, they give us all a bad name. We are just as capable as the boys! It's not like it's a "Write you name in the snow" contest! I'd loose at that, I've got no chance of winning! but video games don't require a penis! girls can do just as well as the boys. the only problem I have ever had playing a video game was because I have double jointed thumbs so console games can be a pain after a while, that's why I'm a PC gamer.
I like cookies as much as the next person but I don't bake them at LAN parties. besides, LAN parties require Mt. Dew and pretzels, not cookies.:)
As a girl, and a gamer, I'm mildly insulted. I play WoW and I played UT and Counterstrike. I like "boy" games. I love FPS. I love MMORPGs. I play the little quick games they say girls like, but more as a time filler than anything else. "I've got 5 min before Star Trek comes on. I'll play Text Twist!"
As for colors, I prefer Reds and Blacks to Pinks and Oranges. Maybe it's the Goth in me, I don't know, but "Girly" colors just don't appeal to me.
I know the statements made weren't supposed to be stereotyping girls but they were. Why should solitaire with random AI girls be anymore fun than regular old solitaire? Solitaire isn't a social game; that's why it's called solitaire, and not socialtare. At the same time I know my sisters would rather play solitaire with purses and kittens on the cards than spades and clubs. What they say isn't all ridiculous but it only feeds a stereotype that women have been fighting against for years.

ok, how about Humanoid? can we all agree on that one?
HA! I just barely beat you to the M class comment! but seriously, totaly not an M class planet, could NOT support us. :)
