With all of my various gaming past, there was one thing that was very scarce among the gaming circles I ran in – namely, females. Sure, I’ve seen significant others of friends play ‘games’ on a regular basis, if you can call them games. Stupid flash games like bedazzeled and word scrambles and the like. That is NOT gaming ok? We all know what gaming is and it involves things like well, graphics, brains, guts, gore, high end computers (or consoles to keep you console weenies happy), that kind of thing.
So, just to see if there ARE girls who play games that this site would consider games, I posed the following question to the good people at blog catalog:
Girl gamers, I need to know something. You, as females, if you enjoy gaming, what sort of games do you play? And what are your favorite games?
I immediatly got an answer. A gentleman by the moniker of lonewolfrepose said: There are girl gamers?
Yea, I know dood. I was wondering the same thing. Not to worry friends, my curiosity was satisfied by TJlubrano, who not only is a girl, but is a GOOD LOOKING girl. Yes, I’ll wait while you all go visit her blog profile to confirm. Done? Happy? Yes, she’s pretty. Moving on.
Ms. TJlubrano gave a comprehensive list of COOL games that she likes playing:
- Call of Duty
- The Sims (I’ll let that one go because she likes Call of Duty)
- Final Fantasy
- Tomb Raider
TJlubrano wasn’t the only female response I got, however. The BooReport likes Oblivion and Plants Vs. Zombies. AquilusDomini is MAD (I’ll take it she meant mad as in mad about and not mad at) Grand Theft Auto and God of War (which gets her almost as many points here as TJlubrano for liking Call of Duty).
Now, my question put out to the people of Blog Catalog got only a few responses compared to just about every other site wide broadcast there is there, which makes me think two things.
- Yes. Female gamers are a very rare comodity
- So if you find one hold on to her – she’s a rare catch and just about the coolest female friend you’re going to have!
So thank you to the few that answered my question, and basically confirmed what us nerds already know. Girly gamers are a rare and precious commodity, so let’s all do our best to keep them happy, hmmm?
