Girl Gamers
I decided to look up and see exactly what people are saying about Girls and gaming.. I found this first article and Wasnt sure what to think.. They are atleast trying to be realistic to why girls play games.. but the whole Most girls play the sims games pops up in this one also. Kinda annoyed me, but you cant really hide what is true.

Another interesting article that may piss off some gamer girls.

An Article from Gamespot about the woman you all love that wrote the book you all love SO much more, that you were forced to read in I think your 4th or 5th month? I cant remember.. I guess her intentions were good.. but that book has to go.

Alright I have to say.. I like this guy ^_^ He has good ideas

I dunno I think the game industry is trying.. for the most part. Sure you're gonna run into your run of the mill assbastard and want to bludgeon him to death, BUT when in doubt play some DoA and kick some ass... No matter how hard we try as female gamers we will never completly rid our selves of those guys that refuse to believe that girls game.. And Game well. True there arent alot of us yet, but there are ALOT more then there were 10 years ago. Every year the number of female gamers grow and eventually that all to familiar comment of " Girls dont game" will soon be far and few between. But as for now, we have to grin and bear this crap and eventually ladies, we will thrive in the game world. Also maybe one day I can be at work and not have a guy walk in and be suprised to see me standing behind that counter. Maybe even someday I will make my way up that corporate ladder and trust me once I get there ( because I will) I will do my best to make sure that female gamers are no longer "hidden".
BTW.. I piece of info.. Stop into your local gamestop and watch the TV they have.. there is a Gamestop Comercial that plays about every 10 mins or so that shows a guy trading in his games only to be a few bucks short and so he trys to trade his (scantaly dressed "hot") Girlfriend in for video games.. From a gamers view its entertaining.. but as a girl gamer.. Not so pleased with it. SO Feel free to leave a comment or suggestion with GameStop corporate about thier Marketing ideas. Personal I think they are shit. I know Im not exactly alone in that either.
