    Was having my usual 2hour marathon of css today and a thought came to me when a girl joined the server. What type of girls play pc games?? Are they generally tom-boys? I just cant picture miss prom queen playing quake :rolleyes: . Is it perhaps the goth chicks ?? I have never actually witnesed a girl behind the wheel of a mouse jamming some games. I no they must be out there.

    I play pc games, & i'm not exactly a tomboy / goth chick, I wouldn't exactly call myself hardcore or anything remotely close tho :p - mostly half-life 2 & deathmatch. Otherwise I'm more into music & art & suchlike. Dunno if that answers your slightly sexist question tho :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    I know perfectly average girls who play em.....

    You don't necessarily have to be a certain type of person to like pc games...You just have to be the kind of person who likes to play pc games! :D

    there's a lot of them out there,

    on the professional side of cs 1.6 there are a few good girl teams.
    I don't think you can catagorise them into certain groups like "goth chicks" or "tom-boys"

    i'd imagine most of them to just be your average girl who happens to like games as much as us men do.

    By your logic OP you may as well ask "What kind of girls are goths? Are they the kind who play pc games?"

    My dream in life is to have a girl give me a trashing at Halo


    My girlfriend enjoys the odd game of SoF2 when at my house, she also enjoys fighting games, and, eh....the sims

    Everyone likes the sims! You play the role of God!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    not everyone likes the sims, but i'm pushed to see a girl who wouldn't like playing the sims.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    That's a pretty narrowminded view. All sorts of girls play games. Even hot ones. They're not all butch hairy lesbians. Ever hear of Stevie Case for instance? She even did a shoot for Playboy.

    And yes, I'm a girl, and I play PC games :p

    Groups of female PC gamers:

    1) Geeks
    2) Goths
    3) Arts students
    4) Computer subject student
    5) Average Jane Doe

    =-=

    Groups of male PC gamers:

    1) Geeks
    2) Goths
    3) Arts students
    4) Computer subject student
    5) Average John Doe

    =-=

    Same type of women as men, tbh.

    =-=

    Oh, and the reason why women don't always say they're women is cos of what happened alot in CS.

    The "boys" found it hard to believe that a woman could play the PC. And either the above, or pre flaming would then occur. Quite sad, actually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    I should add aswell, you could be playing girls more often than you know. They're not going to announce it. If I join a server, I don't tell everyone "hey i'm a girl!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,240 ✭✭✭Endurance Man


    Hmm, very interesting :). I think its great when girls rock up on the server i play on, we have 1 regular who on a good night will own all of us lads :rolleyes: . I think is it harder for them though. We have a bunch of loosers who start crap as soon as girl rocks up. U no the usual mutcho bs.Crisis, if any of my girlfriends had played games it woulda made saturday afternoons a lot easier :p .

    *raises hand*
    The Sims is one of the most boring games I've ever played.

    PC games? If my computers were gaming machines, I would play more of them. But because one is a Mac (therefore horrendously expensive games, 64 euro for UT2004 my ass), and the other one is woefully underpowered, I don't. I have consoles (a GameCube, Xbox and handhelds) to satisfy my gaming needs.
    Now to go play some Burnout 3 :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 472 ✭✭Metacortex


    Im a total girly girl who likes pinbk clothes and fluffy bunnies and the like but i also love incredibly violent video games.
    I love playing over xbox live, the best thing is as a girl you are always totally under estimated as a games player. Its always so satisifing to load up a game of Halo 2 and play slayer against a bunch of guys and kick their asses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Meh, Halo 2 was crap compared to Halo 1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Absolutely. And no fun on XBL. Full of annoying American kids for some reason.

    The online multiplayer was the best feature. Well ,it was the one i got most enjoyment out of anyway.
    But your right, the game was waaayyyy too short and the ending was crap.

    It would be nice if we were to see more girls at them. It gets annoying seeing a room full of guys all the time. :( Well for me anyways. Would be nice to see the odd few girls around.

    A big LAN here might hit 100 players (though usually it's way less). The I-series LANs in the UK have 900 places. More players in general, more girls.

    She's mingin' in real life (although it didn't stop a certain boards.ie quaker trying to get in there at the Amsterdam CPL) - it's incredible what a good photographer and makeup artist can do for someone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,579 ✭✭✭Webmonkey


    yeah, it be hard to come across a lan with +100 players here. What was the turnout of europe's biggest ever lan. I think there was a few thousand? Can't remember where it was though
