What is up with her and all the gamer girl articles. So it's been a total resounding two articles, I think she's whoring this theme out a little bit.

Still, gamer girls are fun, especially when they're worst cases than the people on this board (and hot to boot!).

For someone who didn't want readers to focus on her gender, it's funny how much she's relying on it.

That article should have only been one step, and that is Super Monkey Ball.

I tried to get my girlfriend into Super Monkey Ball, but she was bored by it. She liked playing Resident Evil 4 though.

If you want a gamer girl just go to Japan. I found most of the teenage girls there play games just as much as the guys, and a good amount of 20-something girls play games too, probably moreso than in any other part of the world. There was a 15 year old girl (one of my students) in the town I lived in who could kick my ass in Powerful Pro Baseball 9 for the GC. Quite embarrassing to say the least...

I like to call it

"hey honey....how bout we play some strip (insert game here..monkey ball, tekken, ribbit king)" They'll play for about 30 mins and then your doing something else hah!

Nope. Tetris Attack.

she better be hot

Give it a rest - games are mainstream now. Girls play them just as passively as guys do, and some are really into it. I know plenty who do and play a range of games (from Counter Strike to Bust a Move to FF games to MGS and even House of the Dead), and yes - they're all cute in one way or another.

It's not some huge myth that cute girls play games, these days. Or that girls period play. And you sure as hell don't need a 12-step program.
