Are More Girls Playing Games? - Games

The only girls I know who play games, play things like WoW and Minecraft. :v:

[QUOTE=MattyDienhoff;29391293]My 23 year old sister and 58 year old mother both play games, and not just casual things either. My sister plays everything from Minecraft to STALKER, and my mother plays third person action adventure (from Tomb Raider to the Grand Theft Auto series), classic games on an Amiga emulator (like Lemmings) and the occasional racing game. The three of us also play coop missions in Operation Flashpoint together sometimes.[/QUOTE] I wish I had family members who gamed. Gaming is like my #2 passion and I don't have anyone close to share it with!

[QUOTE=Xolo;29391437]What do you mean by "serious?"[/QUOTE] Around where I live, other girls think serious gaming is playing Kinect for an hour.

[QUOTE='[DJ Ria];29391591']Around where I live, other girls think serious gaming is playing Kinect for an hour.[/QUOTE] I once was talking to a female co-worker who I knew played wow and gaming came up, and I said I was a gamer. She asked "So what do you play, WoW, CoD, SC2?" I replied no and then stated my reasons for not liking said games, she responded with: "...What else is there?"

[QUOTE=Xolo;29391437]What do you mean by "serious?"[/QUOTE] She's not a "gurl gamer" for sure, trust me.

I also hate girls who take pictures of themselves playing CoD and then posting it on Facebook to have all the guys freak out about it.

[QUOTE='[DJ Ria];29391817']Ugh. I also hate girls who take pictures of themselves playing CoD and then posting it on Facebook to have all the guys freak out about it.[/QUOTE] I'd freak out too if somebody was playing CoD. I played through the first two CoD games with my dad and used to play multiplayer with him back when it was actually good. My brothers play CoD 4-7 religiously. I once tried to get my mum to play Abe's Exoddus but she couldn't get past the first level.

The TF2 server I used to frequent had a lot of girl regulars, most of them were just normal and treated as such, one was a tad girly (She wore all pink hats) and my sister plays L4D and has a Minecraft account, she wanted to get a FP account after a bunch of the regulars on my server were talking about it but I told her it was a bad idea :v:

wow how come whenever i see something it comes up like a day later like i just met a girl gamer like a day ago and now theres a thread about it :tinfoil:

there's so many average girls out there who play games just to chill I remember being a regular on a day of defeat server which was all about 30 year old men and women with jobs, kids, partners and lives and all they did was chat and play the game. it was awesome as well as intense because they were GOOD at the game. they just didn't take it seriously at all though meanwhile you go to tf2 and what once used to be the same type of crowd is now contested between people KIND OF like that and the fruits who will cyber sex for hats. it's ridiculous.

No there's just more guys pretending to be girls than usual.

[QUOTE=acfan;29392294]most of the girls i talk to play games not seriously, like mario party and pokemon[/QUOTE] just dance 2 tell any girl that you play this like a champ and you'll get laid guaranteed

[QUOTE=69105;29392329]just dance 2 tell any girl that you play this like a champ and you'll get laid guaranteed[/QUOTE] Yeah, having a man who can't actually dance is sooo hot.

[QUOTE='[DJ Ria];29392431']Yeah, having a man who can't actually dance is sooo hot.[/QUOTE] Since when could white people dance though?

When a girl, at least the ones I know, plays games... And I ask what their replies are usually "Black Ops" or "Halo"... Those aren't real games...

[QUOTE=thisispain;29393042]you must be an absolute delight at social gatherings[/QUOTE] this is funny coming from you

[QUOTE=69105;29392329]just dance 2 tell any girl that you play this like a champ and you'll get laid guaranteed[/QUOTE] Just Dance is a great game. As long as you don't look totally awkward playing it.

[QUOTE=Flip pl;29373894]Every single girl on TF2 I've seen is a pyro. Not that they are the W+M1 types, it's just they are only playing pyro, never other classes.[/QUOTE] I've seen one girl playing as a heavy she had a trail of 4 medics asking for tits in chat :v:

[QUOTE=Pascall;29394720]Just Dance is a great game. As long as you don't look totally awkward playing it.[/QUOTE] Get the Kinect variant, see on the screen how retarded you look while playing, know you've always looked that retarded while playing, facepalm.

[QUOTE=mobrockers2;29394751]Get the Kinect variant, see on the screen how retarded you look while playing, know you've always looked that retarded while playing, facepalm.[/QUOTE] Everyone looks dumb while playing dance games. But the key to not looking like a socially awkward idiot is to laugh at yourself just like everyone else is laughing at themselves. You kind of just have to get over the fact that you look dumb dancing in your living room (or someone else's living room) and just have fun.

I'm usually Scout though. Or Sniper. Or I just click a random class and do whatever.

Along with my younger sister, My mom and oldest sister (One year younger than me) like to play Horror FPS Games or just general FPSs like Quake or BLACK. My mom loved this game on the xbox called "Shadow Ops: Red Mercury" and Black. Most girl gamers I know in person tend to be interested in the horror games more than anything though.

The fact they took him seriously is quite hilarious.
