Let's not turn into /b/ :D
I say who gives a damn about your gender, as long as you dig games.
May I poke my head in and say I, too, am interested in girl gamers? I know a bunch actually...MMO's seem to attract them.
it's kind of cool that not every elf chick that runs by you is a 44 year old plumber named bob anymore..only like half of them are now, heh.

TrIp13G: I say who gives a damn about your gender, as long as you dig games.

I'll have to say I am interested because it would be *cool* to date a female gamer. Not something I have yet to do, but hey the hope is there. However, that being said, we need to get past the point where any woman that plays games or works in the games industry is automatically idolized as a sex goddess. Like say..Jade Raymond was on a bunch of stupid blogs. it is cool to meet real people that play games, regardless.

I told my friend who is a girl about LOOM on Steam. Now I fear she's lost forever...

soulgrindr: Did we find one yet?????

JudasIscariot: No we haven't found one yet.
However, we have confirmed the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Roswell aliens, and God. Alas, the elusive creature known as the Female Gamer (Femme Elektronikus) remains at large with only blurry pictures offered by lonely, reclusive Mexican sheep farmers as "proof". We are still standing by for further reports but we are far from optimistic about receiveing any concrete evidence...

We haven't found proof of ANY 'God' and probably never will, Loch Ness Monster is most definitely an old dinosaur and there is probably more than one in there, Bigfoot is most likely a pack of Gigantopithecuses, and the government (By the way, FUCK YOU YOU IGNORANT LIARS!!!) won't confirm Extraterrestrials because it would destroy religion as we know it if you think long and hard about it. And seriously, what the fuck is with the whole 2012 shit?
Sorry, just a 15 year old taking some stress out on his POV.
Aliens? All I know about aliens is that they ruined Indiana Jones for me.
Also, for Gears of War I could see Vasquez from Aliens fitting into the world rather well.
Even though I'm not a female gamer, I just want to say that I'm sick of all the stereotypical "Girls can't game worth shit" or "Any girl who plays a REAL game is really a guy" stuff. Even though my girlfriend isn't quite the avid gamer I am (Me being the one who has more than 9 MMO accounts, 50 different console games, 8 computer games/9 GOG games, at least 72 Flash games I have ripped off of websites for my notebook (I love you Newgrounds and Crazy Monkey Games!), 11 PSP UMDS, and (If memory serves me correctly) 47 different SNES & N64 games that I still play!) she loves Mario and others I can't remember off the tip of my mind. She has shown some interest in RPGS and I'm in the process of getting her to play Runescape (C'mon, it isn't that bad of a game.). AND many of my female friends are quite on my level of gamerness...I need to add that word to Wikipedia...... So yeah, there are PLENTY of female gamers, it's just the Wii fucked up the gaming community as we know it. Seriously, how can a 9 year old on an MMO I play say he is hardcore if all he plays on the Wii is the usual assortment of Nintendo developed minigames. Back on subject, all a girl needs is a few minutes of any game that isn't gay to be a gamer.

Yeah, Lucas fucked up Indiana Jones for us with aliens. I think the Temple of Doom was the best.

thats cos you are 15 ;-)
I love games that don't focus on gameplay.
From my experience guys are all about gameplay.

BananaJane: I like games with no gameplay

You're joking right?
No, why would you think that?
I never joke about games.

lowyhong: Call me a feminist, but I'm not buying into the idea that girl gamers are as cool as male gamers (cool in a geek way). I'm quite weary of females playing DOTA, then saying "look at me I'm playing DOTA competitively, and I'm being good at it, and guess what? I don't have a dick!". It's like they're playing games to make a point about themselves
Also, because most female gamers I know don't play cult classics, only mainstream games like l4d. Sure you play to have fun, but you don't call yourself a hardcore gamer until you've beaten Deus Ex five times

Absolutly agree man Deus Ex was awesome, the one i game i know off by heart yet still love playing

captfitz: Just curious, want to see how many female goggers there are. I personally don't know any girls who game, let alone who are into retro gaming.
Do you think girl gamers prefer a different sort of gaming experience from guys?

Wengistein: I started gaming in 1998 (I'm 19 now) and I remember playing the first Duke Nukem. That the was first game I ever played. I'm not sure what you mean by "retro", but some of the older games I remember playing have been the second and third Duke Nukem, Blue Force (I had so much fun with that game) and Commander Keen.
I enjoy pretty much everything. Love RPGs mainly. As for The Sims, yes, I am a huge fan but mainly because I love the whole "creating" aspect of it. Building houses and then furnishing is somehow therapeutic for me and creating a Sim to play that is completely different from how I am is an interesting concept; kind of like a "what if?" scenario.

Blue Force wasn't that that old police game? I liked that too did you ever play any of the Police Quests by Sierra they were like that

In other forum I frequent we didn't demand tits to figure out if the poster was truly female. We simply requested that said female would take a picture of herself with socks on her ears just to be really sure she was who she claimed to be. And it worked.
I've no reason to doubt a forumer's word on his or her gender though.

Fixed. Always question. Take things at face value on the internet and you are likely to get (maybe literally) screwed. Also a fair few men seem to garner some sort of weird enjoyment out of tricking other men into thinking they are women. *shrugs* I don't pretend to understand it.
