QuietSith Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 I found the debate they had interesting: http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/054776.html
Kyth'emos Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 I don't really find the concept of female gamers that odd, but there are certain people (like my GF) that I would be very surprised to find playing Quake.
QuietSith Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 I just found it covered a lot of interesting issues - seems to have went a bit off topic. From what I gathered from it: Does it really matter to you if the person fragging you and beating you down is a girl or guy? In the end, it's just yourself and your computer, no?
QuietSith Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 That's a LAN, bit different, I'm thinking online where you never meet people anyhow ...
Darklighter Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Thank you Agen for bringing us back on topic:D We nearly went onto 'Games and Headphones' then...hehe:)
Hanch Saode Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Yeah, maybe she were to a LAN....BUT!! Does that really matter?? And look at the face of hers...does it look like it's the first time?? Nah...messa dont thinka so! btw - I am in a danish clan...in which I have made a girl join...she's a gamer... And I know many other girls that play hardcore cmputer... So maybe it's a rare sight, but still I think you would quite often encounter female competition...when it comes to computer gaming
[RAA]-=Chi3f=- Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Yeah they're fine. Whoooo! The blonde is hot, for a siliconian that is :dirty: <honkey> And that brunette ain't bad neither! </honkey> Bwa ha ha ha ha!!! EDIT: Oops, I forgot to mention this; I've seen a total of 13 girl/lady gamers @ the LAN parties I've been to. They're pretty good too! Not to be taken lightly, as my friend and fellow [RAA] member found out. She Own3d him pretty bad.
Goten583 Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 I'm probably relieve instantly relieve myself if I ever saw my gf enjoying a video game. She's totally opposed.
Goten583 Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 ok im not complaing, but what the deal with the random girl??? Did I miss something???

I don't think you missed anything. The chick is from the first link to the Q3 forum thread about girls n' games. BTW: Every girl I dated hate video games. They can't and won't ever try to understand them. My friend and his wife, on the other hand, fight over who's playing the PS2 next. He always wins and that's why I made him [RAA]. Good job -=H00t=- Bwa ha ha ha ha ha
NerfYoda Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Geesh. I need to get my gf to quit this whole "school and work" thing and play JK2 & Galaxies when it comes out. We'd be the combo that couldnt be beat! Oh yeah It'd help if I could somehow get her interested in Star Wars too.
Clem Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 is it me or is the girl they interviewed a complete BITCH?! i hate her already just from reading that i dont care what she looks like!
Guardian Omega Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Ahhh I sense arrogance........... Whats funny is that she mentioned female sterotypes, but didn't mention the male sterotypes she said. We need a better female to interview, personality and maturity wise. That is a bad image of female gamers. As one guy said, forget looks, they're trouble!

Guardian Omega Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Now that's much, much better. She got the point across as the did that arrogant girl, but much more smoothly and mature. Yes, male or female, it's player vs. player and she got the equality attitude just perfectly.
Absurd Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Check out the article - it's been changed: http://www.planetquake3.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Features&file=femalegamers
NerfYoda Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 The interview got taken down due to alot of rude comments. I think you need to consider te sources of the 2 gamers in question. One is a 10th grade hich school cheerleader & the other works a 9 to 5 job & is planning on opening her own business. Which one do you think will be more mature? The younger one is also in a clan. Don't get me started on the whole clan arrogance thing...
Absurd Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 True. Often clans take on an almost cult-like social structure. Ruins the fun of a game.
Surfnshannon Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 alright I was reading this thread and thought I should post. I am a girl and I play a lot of video games! I've been playing them every since I was little. I damn near own every console since Atari!! Quake...yes I actually bought the demo..and FOR SHAME got the hack that gave me...well the whole thing. I used to play Tombraider. I always make my boyfriend take me Dave and Busters where we have a total blast. We are even on beating eachother at Pod Racer. We just got the Game Return to Wolfenstein. We wanted JK2...and got the demo (fell in love with the light saber kewlness) but alas it was like 59 dollars!! I don't know if its wierd to like to play video games. A lot of my friends (who are girls) do not like to play them. Guess they like to talk on the phone more than I do. But most of them I know love to go grab a Margarita and play at Gameworks. So...I don't know. just wanted to put in my 2 cents
Hanch Saode Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Cool to hear a girls point'a'view... Without any secret plans, I wanna hear how many girls actually are present in this forum??
