I just meant it like, that's the only game they've ever played. Ever.
They never talk about other games they've played, only a certain one.
One of my teachers were like that. She would go on and on about how she used to play Doom way back in the day, and how she considers herself a gamer because of it.
Those games were fun, but this is more about being a gamer than a game being fun, right?

no
if you enjoy games or you enjoyed games at one point in your life, you are a gamer
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;41173607]you fucking did it

iJustine doesn't suck as a let's player because she's a girl, she sucks because she's stupid and can't solve basic puzzles, I also don't see his point.

Mainly people are going to attack your most dominant feature if they don't like you, for girls that's their gender and thats complete bullshit but its how it rolls.

i'd say most (if not all) of the perceived problems with "gurl gaymerz" actually stems from all the skeevy, misogynistic brodudes and sperglords that permeate the gaming community (i.e, from a community that's still in its early stages of growing up and is more parts immature than it is mature).
though "gamer" is still a cringeworthy label regardless of gender prefix.
Oh shit when did BBC's brother get so popular?

Gamer is the worst label you can give yourself even if you live your life around games and anyone who labels themselves as gamer is a retard regardless of gender.

Also, can't we just accept that the word "Gamer" should never be used to describe someone's hobby?
yea screw all u thirsty ass niggas
I feel like the attention hores really ruin the experience for women who aren't casual gamers.
Because the gamer gurl stereotype effects them as well.
[QUOTE=Primigenes;41168885]He has a point
If you only play Call of Duty, Madden, 2k13, etc and whatever then you're pretty much a casual gamer. Those are all pretty much mainstream games that either everyone knows or has.[/QUOTE]
Since when has mainstream = casual? What is wrong with playing those games anyways?
The elitism in the PC gaming community is disgusting. Just like the whole PC master race attitude. Sometimes I feel ashamed that I'm a part of a community with such morons.
yeah deep down they like it but are pretending not to... like the girl is in the same room or something.
theres dudes who just play call of duty only aswell but they don't get any hate or attention huh?

my favourite part about the PC gaming community is that many people within it are so blinded by their own elitism that they [i]still[/i] think that this:
[t]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/9/98500/2445038-4694434071-PC_Ga.jpg[/t]
is a completely unironic statement of their superiority
fun fact: if you watch the video that the image originated from (and aren't a complete sperglord incapable of recognizing hyperbole or sarcasm), Ben Crosshaw is pretty blatantly mocking the very people that have used this image unironically ever since.

Oh I'm not going for "omg she's a girl she's a casual", just look at it this way.
If I put up a video just like that on youtube, how many views would it have?
Gamer culture has girls being recognized purely for being girls, regardless of skill level. This devalues the culture as a whole, as now when you watch videos on youtube about games, you get things like iJustine for example, which to an outsider would look fucking retarded.
I'm not saying that girl gamers are the reason for this completely, but it's one of the many factors (amongst other things like the blatant preference of quantity over quality that is followed by most popular lets players).

I can't find the picture now, but there was a really good one that was almost identical to that but it was labeled like "Dirty console vs. PC argument plebs" and "People who really don't care" or something like that
"looll i just finished playing video gamez im such a no life!! XD"
"Oh cool! What's your favorite game? I like the Final Fantasy series the bes-"
" ew wtf get away your such nerd stop talking to me"
he's mostly complaining about girls who are basically the same thing as the reply girls except they're using video games as a front instead of popular youtube videos, and he's completely right.
it's not exclusive to females or anyone, but you're still an awful fucking person if you're making tens of thousands of dollars off of youtube ad revenue for shitty videos (and you're even worse if you're subscribed to 95% of them).
Ah yes, the straw girl gamer. Another complete fabrication by whiney assholes.
Every single time I've run into one of these mystical "gurl gamers," the only time they say anything [I]not[/I] related to the game is when some fuckwit begins giving her shit for nothing; some self-righteous basement dweller seriously will just give them hell for using a microphone.

Is it honestly that hard to not watch those videos? Youtube is packed full of garbage channels, people just cherry pick "gurl gamers" out because it validates their made up grievances.
Does anyone know the name of the song in the intro of the video?
Wow, he really does look like Will Smith.
Those ears and jaw, man.
