Thorbar · 24-02-2005 10:11pm

The guy writing that has all to much experience with the inner works of dildos.

bizmark · 24-02-2005 10:19pm

OMFG ... at least give a NSFW worning PLEASE!

Sweet jesus, a dildo on my screen at work was the last thing I needed. Well, probably the 5th last but still.. a nsfw warning is needed on that link.

Also, I know a good few female gamers too... so there.

Nevyn · 25-02-2005 9:28am

No She isnt.

Boy werent the only ones who got ataris, C64, mega drives, ps1 and xbox.
Or who have been fragging from Doom.

koneko · 25-02-2005 9:59am

:rolleyes:

I guess I don't really need to say anything. Some of you stupid bastards didn't believe I was a girl for a while there either
(though with that previous incident from boards I guess I can see why. anyone that's been here a while will know what I'm talking about!)

Winters · 25-02-2005 10:18am

a/s/l Ladiez...

Oh wait.. I know a lot of you already, nevermind.

TheAlmightyArse · 25-02-2005 11:13am

Didn't Nintendo already do this with the rumble pak? "Manip-o-love" the "laydeez" "valve-o-bits", if you get my "meaning".

Thorbar · 25-02-2005 11:14am

Lucy le what?

I was considering picking up Sims 2 for my girlfriend but then decided against it, she'd only end up getting addicted to it and would hog the PC.

Winters · 25-02-2005 11:23am

Every couple need at least 2 PC's.

If not there will be fights.

rainbow kirby · 25-02-2005 11:24am

If you're gonna get her games, get her a REAL game. Not crap like the Sims.

dearg_doom · 25-02-2005 11:46am

haha, didn't even think about the work crowd, I put that up last night:)

in fairness I'd prefer to see girls get into games with this than the SIMS!!

Cause there's no dildo references there!

/me runs

Nevyn · 25-02-2005 1:05pm

Want a real answer to get you gf to sit with you and take part in your gaminess?

Two pcs that are networked and get teamspeak ffs.
This brings in a whole socailings aspect.
They can chat with the people they are playing with and gossip and get to know them.

Most girls want interactiness, and playing UT 2k4 or cod will bore them.
Playing these games online or at a lan or mini lan is a lot more fun,
and soon they will want to play off line and get some skill and not be a
walking frag.

I thought so too at first, but eventually you get used to the idea of girl gamers. Of course, it's always funny. Their little fingers. [ducks]

BloodBath · 26-02-2005 1:29am

Come on. One of the girls needs to test this mod out.

rainbow kirby · 26-02-2005 1:42am

No.

Utterly pointless thread.
Silly mod too.

Thead's comment about TS and interactivity is spot-on though.

And chicks can solder too, better than lads in the cases I've seen.

po0k · 27-02-2005 11:03pm

A rose by another name would smell as sweet

Sarky · 27-02-2005 11:45pm

Not if you called them stinkblossoms, or crapweeds.

Damn straight, and I'll solder the eyes of anyone who disagrees.

Hugh Hefner · 28-02-2005 12:25am

That's a classic pic.

The Sims is crap. Why do people like it?!

EA. Marketing. Machine.

Because Kirby's a male character. From that most people would assume that someone using that username would be male.

Not that it matters, but here's proof for the doubters.

http://www.classicgaming.com/kirby/info/kirby101/kirbycreator.html

While Nintendo legend Mr. Miyamoto wanted Kirby to be yellow, Sakurai insisted that he be pink.

If someone can disprove the above, I'd like to see it as I just quickly googled for info and haven't done an extensive check.

TheAlmightyArse · 28-02-2005 9:42am

I'm pretty sure Kirby is completely genderless, unless he, like, keeps it in a jar by the door. Or something.

po0k · 28-02-2005 1:07pm

He's a eunuch.

On a related topic and it refers to the mod that started this thread:

http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000267033690/

A games researcher is seeking women who play games to fill out her survey. Here’s one question from the survey that we’d love to see answered: “Do you feel more women are needed in the gamer-community? Of what benefit would they be for the community?” Most of the corporate rhetoric about getting women involved in games focuses on making money off of them. Finally, perhaps, we might see some answers to this question that don’t involve dollar signs.

And one more question, chosen (nearly) at random from the survey: “Computergaming could be THE perfect leisure activity for FEMALES if… (please finish the sentence).” Might we suggest a certain Xbox mod? (We might, but we’d get slapped, so we won’t.)

dearg_doom · 28-02-2005 3:04pm

it could be retractable...
