indy500fan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 It was a joke, the darwin awards are awards to people who "improve the human gene pool as part of natural-selection" by accidentally killing themselves by being stupid. I don't think you get it, the Darwin Awards are the joke. You don't use it in a different way to make it funny, it is already funny. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadburys_egg Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Am i the only one who finds this thread sexist? my best friend, who basically whoops my [wagon] in every shooter ive ever played, is a girl. Why do girls only "play games to suck up?" im offended by this thread and the stupididy of the general public ill leave you with this YOUVE BEEN NOMINATED!!!! Who cares that you get your arse beaten at games by a girl, that had nothing to do with what I asked. I'm asking what you think about them, not how much they can beat you. Perhaps if you were better at the games you wouldn't have posted that? your saying "girls dont play games other than sims because they are easy" ive played games since i was four, dont say 'haha you got beaten by a girl!!! you suck" I wasn't particularly picking on girls, I was generalising based upon girls in my area. Great, i've played games since I was 4 aswell, where are you heading with that? Oh, and quote me for those exact words, and I will stop posting Do you know what a darwin award is? I'd say no. Nice job on shooting yourself in the foot with your "stupidity" comment. It was a joke, the darwin awards are awards to people who "improve the human gene pool as part of natural-selection" by accidentally killing themselves by being stupid. If you say sometyhing like this to one of my girl gamer friends, shed probobly come at you with a knife (one kid who said that to her at a tournament she strangled with a LAN wire). therefore one less sexist idiot. improving the human genepool Oh noes, we're getting threats from someone we don't even know! D: And yes, I know what a Darwin award is. How is this sexist? I'd like to see you justify that one. simple people are syaing "girls cant play videogames", "its a male sport", "girls only play games to suck up to people" Then call the specific members sexist, don't blame my thread for it. But like I said in my original post, 90% of girls where I live wouldn't ever even touch a game. Try typing in full sentences, why don't you go shopping to help cool yourself down :lol: We cleared this up in one of my posts, I already said he bats for the other team.

Futurama Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Met plenty of female RS players and bar a few most of them were pretty decent people (and a few of them kicked my arse) XD Most girls i've known play computer games do indeed suck, but i've known a few girls to be good at them too. Computer Games are quite a guyish thing, but doesn't mean girls cant play them too. Suppose you've got to see it from across the spectrum, it's like a guy caring about fashion and stuff. Not meaning to branch into sexist territory, but its predominantly a girl thing. I do, however, draw the line when my gf made me try and download Barbie Riding Club for her...

Nadril Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Pretty much most of the girl gamers I've known I've known from MMO's :) . You'd be suprised how many girls play MMO's, in nearly every guild I've been in it's had quite a few female players in it. (yes, actual females, we use ventrillo usualy for guilds I've been in).

aaron1120 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Playing Halo 2 online has brought me across of few girls, even some that have played the game professionally.

Pete_the_Viscous Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I really don't care about it that much. I'm slightly surprised when I meet a girl who's into video games (aside from all the anime stuff), but it doesn't tell me much more about them than it would if I found out a guy was into it. I don't see it as an issue. However, the image presented by lots of businesses know, businesses, of pretty girls who play games in skimpy outfits annoys me. Basically, the whole idea of "being a gamer" annoys me. I don't see it as an activity that should be taken so seriously. Fair enough that there are tournaments and things where people earn lots of money (so, fair enough that people do it professionally), but at the end of the day they're computer games. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cupcake Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Today a wide range of titles appealing to both sexes are released that feature an astounding amount of choice and complexity in both their format and appeal. Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) such as Everquest and World of Warcraft are enjoyed by males and females in near equal proportions. Life-simulations such as The Sims are also extremely popular among women of all age groups. The main reason behind this popularity is the social interaction found in online games. The friendships formed in these games add a new dynamic that the games' developers could never artificially reproduce. Characters driven by a human player are infinitely more diverse and enjoyable than the comparably primitive A.I. of the average online game. see??? MMORPG, girls wants the precious social interaction. the part of Nintendo Wii is probably true, gimmicky wii remote looks fun, and it has some major advertising the past months. oh yeah...girl do play games..

Kinslayer777 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I revise my somewhat off topic stupid earlier post: I've little to say about female gamers, except I think it's good there's more then just males playing games. Why can't females? I especially worry overall that females get annoyed somewhat with stereotypes. Meh, I've hardly met any 'fps' girl gamers, but the last time I played online was Unreal Tournament 2000. I see a lot more runescape type girls though. Sorry for treating a thread that's actually interested in discussion, with a stupid post meh. I was under the impression this was just a sexist annoying thread, but I've been proven wrong meh.

Guest AshKaYu Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Female gamers exist like male dancers do: They either do it very privately and don't let anyone know, or they get really good and do it publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_the_Viscous Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 "Stuff" I'm going to be a game developer (going to school for it, ect.) Sure it doesn't revolve around playing games, but they are important to me. I've nothing against game development, which I think is a good thing (as long as you're going to be one of those folk who do it for fun and other such good reasons as opposed to money -- the bad reason for most games' development these days). I just don't agree with the people for whom playing games is their life -- to me they're fun things that one does in one's spare time. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
