You know you want em, those elusive chick gamers that are out there kicking your butt on the public servers and laughing at you when you "get beat by a girl". Well, for those lonely men out there, looks like there is some new hope. The BBC is running an article simply entitled Girl gamers strike at the boys. In which they follow and interview a team known as The DoMe which is comprised of nothing but women gamers! True, you'll have to forgive them, they do play Counter-Strike, but hey, that can be forgiven, yes? The thing is, I like these women's attitude, they don't want to be special, they just want to get in there and game like everyone else, as noted in this quote:
| Quote: |
"But there are stereotypes. Counter-Strike is 99% male so females that do come into this world feel overpowered or that they are not welcomed. If people just opened their minds and didn't see us as being male or female, it would be much better."
|
Definitely a worthwhile read, and definitely a good sign for the gaming community at large. |

||social life not found||
||please insert boot disc and press any key to continue||
on the news they sayed 50% of gamers was female and over 40 years and older. but they counted every online game, including blackjack etc. so that explains:P |

if you have WIN XP
go:
Start -> All programs ->Games ->Internet Hearts
it's easy to learn, but hard to play |
