so okay. i appreciate that
1) you probably want your girl to share your game interests so you can spend time together
2) or maybe you just want to say that your gf is a gamer chick “so she’s better than yours!!”
3) and the fact that the girl panelists gave good attempts to help y’all hook your girls into gaming.
but.
wtf man. how about y’all try not to force your girls to do what they
1) may not even want to do. so this means that you girls don’t force your guy to go shopping if all they’re gonna do is fall asleep and whine. not everyone likes the same thing. duh.
2) or think that introducing us to harry potter games will make it oh so exciting. there are SO MANY GAMES out there. rts. rpg. mmorpg. graphic adventure. do some research or maybe, gee i dunno, go game shopping TOGETHER. it’s like picking a movie — not all that complicated.
3) not all of us like pink. wtf with the stereotypes. if you pushed a pink ds on me just because you think chicks dig pink, i will shove that thing so far up your bleep even if i did like pink. it’s 2008. let’s try moving beyond sexist condescension PLEASE. console designers trying to lure in the girl population by creating pink products just annoys the shit outta me. whatever happened to orange? blue? shiny, shiny metallic?!!?
topics on trying to “get” someone into [insert topic here] just reeks of selfish to me. it’s like people can’t let go of the fact that their friend/gf/bf/whatever just may not be interested in their same hobbies. plus, when it comes to gaming, ego is involved. as in “you’re playing it wrong!!”. if there’s no patience or sharing in the offset, then you know what, who cares about your damn hobby.
